šŸŽ¶ Mixtape Monday: Batman šŸŽ¶

I love HMB, it genuinely understands the characters better than ~certain directors and writers who shall remain nameless~ Also, Super Friends always makes me happy.

These are good picks! When I was trying to find a second song, I was very tempted to just search Spotify for ā€œnightā€ related songs. :stuck_out_tongue: Iā€™m also very happy you have a Batmobile focused song.

Canā€™t go wrong with Depecheā€™ Mode.

@Green.Lantern :laughing: Half the songs that popped into my head had night in the title and I almost didnā€™t want to use them for that reason. I love that DM track tho and it suits himā€¦and a certain Catlady Iā€™m fond of :black_heart::catwoman_hv_2:

Speaking of whichā€¦hereā€™s a bonus track, friends.

Ps. Canā€™t not leave this one here now! :wink:

I never heard of this ā€œBatmanā€ guy, but I did some research and think I found some good onesā€¦ :batparrot:

I canā€™t find a streamable version of Blue Harvestā€™s I Am The Night and yā€™all have the Neal Hefti, Danny Elfman, and other essentials well covered. Sisters of Mercy, check. Siouxsie, check.

So Iā€™ll start with a song that was released precisely 23 years ago today ā€¦ and I think both appeals to and describes the core driving character of Batman fairly wellā€¦

Followed by an ode to the only true love of Batman, which can die time and time again for him to martyr himself on:

Oh, right. Thereā€™s his other true love. The darkness. (Why donā€™t you marry it?)

Bonus Gothy Goodness! The Damned!

Bonusier bonus old school metal! (If you donā€™t speak metal vocalist, thatā€™s ā€œWhen it comes to action / He knows heā€™s going to make it / Heā€™ll step over dead bodies / Itā€™s a weary and endless fight / Somebody please help him out / The sky is as dark as himself ā€¦ā€)

Elecrodance anthem for the Batā€¦

Even battier electrodance shenanigans! (with absolutely terrifying fan video)

Perhaps youā€™d like some bizarre QuĆ©bĆ©cois hip hop?

And I couldnā€™t resist the urge to include the true alternate origin of Batman from your favorite rockabilly spooky ladyā€¦

Plus, while weā€™re sharing our favorite Hefti covers, Iā€™ll add Mourning Noise, The Hamburglars, and of course Jan and Dean (who have a whole album of Batmagnificence far superior to most of the songs I shared, but Iā€™m a jerk like that).

Hey, if it wasnā€™t for us musical snobs how would anyone know what to listen to? lol.

Nothing but extended dance megamixes of Cageā€™s 4ā€™33", probably. :metal: :metal:

Itā€™s one of the best Batman interpretations that doesnā€™t stick to the dark and gritty stuff.

Did you just call Jan and Dean dark and gritty?

This is the universe I want to live in. Where American Bandstand was something you werenā€™t sure you would survive, but itā€™s a matter of civic duty to try. Dick Clark hosts New Yearā€™s Rockinā€™ Eve for decades because he defeated all other potential hosts in no holds barred caged combat. Surf rock is not a celebration of teenage carefree lust, but a tradition of battle hymns honed over the ages as generation after generation drown their enemies in the tide.
