This is the re-post of a song-fic I wrote a while back, but which seems to have disappeared. May this second rendition be a source of amusement and inspiration! The Ballad of the Batman A song fic by BZPower.com member X-Ray Down in Gotham City, twixt Metropolis and New York, There was a man who fought for justice, with the stubbornness of a cork. He was called the Batman, and he was always fighting the good fight. Down in Gotham City, evil fears the knight. He swung through the city on lines as strong as steel He met with the police commissioner via this Bat-signal deal. He rode around in a pimped out ride, called the Batmobile it was If you asked him why all this bat-stuff, he’d say, “Just because.” Oh, the Batman is a detective, a tried and true dark knight He fought the mob and won, and with evil he’s always itching for a fight Criminals fear the Batman, who’ll catch them wherever they go From the East End to Hong Kong, from Tricorner to Congo. His squire was Robin, a bright and cheery lad, He needed this charming acrobat to keep from going mad. He was later joined by Batgirl, and then by Nightwing, you know who And Huntress, Catwoman, Oracle, Azrael, and then Spoiler and Batwoman too. The Bat had many allies, but his enemies numbered great From Two-Face to the Joker, the Harlequin of Hate. The Riddler and the Scarecrow, and of course Black Mask And dirty cops like Jim Corrigan and Detective Arnold Flass. Oh, the Batman is a detective, a tried and true dark knight He fought the mob and won, and with evil he’s always itching for a fight Criminals fear the Batman, who’ll catch them wherever they go From the East End to Hong Kong, from Tricorner to Congo. And don’t forget the Penguin, the gentleman of crime Clayface the shape-shifting actor who’d kill you for a dime Bane with his green venom and Poison Ivy with her green vines And Mad Hatter constantly quoting Alice in Wonderland lines. Batman went through many trials, many bouts from over the years A Death in the Family, Knightfall, No Man’s Land, and R.I.P. brought him tears. And let’s not forget the Contagion, Officer Down and War Games These are but a few of those trials, many of which have no names. Oh, the Batman is a detective, a tried and true dark knight He fought the mob and won, and with evil he’s always itching for a fight Criminals fear the Batman, who’ll catch them wherever they go From the East End to Hong Kong, from Tricorner to Congo. The world will always need the Batman, yes, that much is true Whether it’s this Earth or another, like, say, Earth-2. He’s the scourge of all evil, for evil fears the knight And though he patrols the shadows, he’s the greatest guardian of light. Oh, the Batman is a detective, a tried and true dark knight He fought the mob and won, and with evil he’s always itching for a fight Criminals fear the Batman, who’ll catch them wherever they go From the East End to Hong Kong, from Tricorner to Congo.
