Men Are Still Good (The Batman Suite)

The Red Capes are coming for the ultimate battle! Supes and Batman hold title to the World's Finest superheroes (Sorry Marvel) and they both hold all the characteristics of Barbarian Gents.

However, Batman has always been my ultimate Barbarian Gentleman, and music is such an integral part of the Batman experience.  It often makes him who he is in each incarnation.




The Batman TV show theme song in the 60's would always amp me up for what was about to follow. I could not get enough of the fun, the color, and the daring do-wrongers who always got beat down in the second episode of the week, after the big cliffhanger.  Although tame by today's standards, I was just as concerned about the plight of Gotham City as our heroes.

Why so serious, Adam West?



Moving from the Neal Hefti theme to The Animated Series, the Danny Elfman scores, and more recently The Dark Knight Trilogy by Hans Zimmer, each one sets the mood for the version of the character.

I can still hear what sounds like razor blades scraping on a piano wire in The Dark Knight Joker theme. Yeesh!

Next up, there are already reams written about the New Batman V Superman movie out on 3.25.2016.

So just check this out: Men Are Still Good (The Batman Suite)
