Verse 3: (Sung like Na na na na na na) He's the greatest fighter There is no one who is stronger He's our favorite hero and we all hope that he knows That no matter how big and strong his rivals all seem to grow, he will always rise above them and vanquish every foe Because he's the only man who can make the joker frown, he makes teacups out of Clayface, turned Two-face into One-Face, beats Mr freeze into snow cones, breaks the penguins extra large nose, solves the riddles puzzles, stuffs Killer Croc into a muzzle, shows Catwoman all his muscles because he's BATMAN!!!

Sometime in the 60s a jingle writer got an assignment to write a theme for the new Batman series. They stayed up all night writing lyrics telling Batman's backstory, motivations for fighting crime, and how his partner Robin is always by his side. They then wrote the melody to include a perfect crescendo to capture the viewer's attention and make them feel like they couldn't possibly miss the show. After a sleepless night they then got to the office and ran into the board meeting just in time to hear their boss say "a song that says Batman over and over! I love it! Send it down to the studio." (Or at least I like to think that's what happened)
