Batman the Musical - In the land of the pigs...

[@kennycolliver]

This was used as the opening of act two in the Bat Out of Hell musical. An amazing way to open the second act!

[@janazonova8408]

Yes, it is.

[@markhardwick1570]

Similar in the Meatloaf Musical. Same song. Great opening.

[@john_fisher3978]

Its a meatloaf song

[@ryanschwartz4959]

Shame the song was cut from the Bat Out of Hell musical starting in 2021

[@UdtheImp]

If there was a Batman musical made today, this song would DEFINITELY be the theme song for the Court of Owls.

[@christiandauz3742]

The next Batman movie could play this!

[@mana_beast_beats1114]

Professor Pyg

[@jackster9775]

I always thought it was a song of someone that’s mocking their oppressor so like Riddler or Ventriloquist or maybe even Joker.

[@kaneanderson8626]

Having heard the song while reading this, a shiver ran down my spine. "Speak not a whispered word of them or they shall send a The Talon for your head."

[@Benjamin1986980]

I know the musical was written before the character but I can't help but think of Professor Pyg as singing this song

[@Pyre]

Well that's a nightmarish image I both didn't know I needed, and desperately didn't need.

[@Benjamin1986980]

@@Pyre You're welcome

[@kross2659]

Meat Loaf could’ve been Professor Pyg

[@_spencerhyde_]

@@kross2659 Yes! He's perfect for the role

[@RichXbox360]

This was arguably the best song on the Bat out of hell 3 album by the late great Meat Loaf IMO.

[@DiehardMechWarrior]

…I gotta say, I vastly prefer the version on “Bat Out of Hell III: The Monster is Loose.” It feels a lot better to me.

[@clairesspace3582]

It's actually being used now in a new musical, one of the best songs in the show!

[@animetoast13]

Claire's Space Let me guess, "Bat Out Of Hell - The Musical"?

[@ryanschwartz4959]

@@animetoast13 Yep. Though it was cut from the show starting in 2021

[@jaredlowder5248]

If there was a musical based on Batman's current mythos, this would be the theme of The Court of Owls

[@PrinceoftheAbyss]

I know that, technically, the Court of Owls showed up long after this song was written, I think that this song would work for them as it would the corrupt city leaders of Gotham.

[@gabrielp9646]

"If the Spider-Man Musical does well..." Oh, god xDxD

[@bibniebt]

“Hopefully of the Spider-Man musical does well,” Oh boy is this video old

[@leekduck3929]

If they went through with the Muscal, they should have had Mr Freeze singing "Ice Ice Baby"

[@IsaacMartinez07]

Everyone’s talking about the Court of Owls, but I’m imagining this sang between Penguin, Hush, Black Mask, and Zsasz. Gotham’s “Founding Sons,” and dark reflections of Bruce.

[@MADMONEYMAN5000]

Meatloaf would play a perfect Professor Pyg in my opinion.

[@anniemccauley599]

man this song is really amazing holy crap I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@andrewmihovich4252]

...oh, I get it. Like "Animal Farm".

[@SuperHousePodcast]

This one is one of our favorites from the demos. On our podcast, we covered how this musical could've been made and featured an excerpt of this song, as well as included this video on our playlist so our listeners can hear the full song on your channel. Here's our podcast ep: kzbin.info/www/bejne/a5LIfYmJhKZ0mqc

[@SerialWordsmith]

I love the pig noises at the end.

[@garrettchandler6584]

I prefer Robert Evan's singing, but Meat Loaf's Orchestrations

[@mega-bustershepard5537]

That moment when you are head banging to a Broadway musical.....

[@jodgee2374]

A Broadway musical that got canceled.

[@tenshialpha]

This song's in "Jim Steinman's Bat Out Of Hell The Musical" now. And it's really very good.

[@charlottesears95]

Mega-Buster Shepard completely agree!! seen it three times and it's bloody amazing!!!

[@kemp9842]

... Because it's that good.

[@TaraKitaideHunter]

This is AMAZING! Certainly my favorite from this musical. Shame it got canceled. Does anyone know the details on the Musical such as what the story was and so on? I would have payed good money to see this over and over! Oh well. Maybe someday.

[@demon0981]

I love this song. It's catchy, it's dark and it f-ing rocks!

[@rabidphantomfan]

Wow 2 years?? I didn't even notice the date until you pointed it out!

[@P0rk_Sinigang]

I might actually like this better than the version on the album. Bat 3 is just a bit overproduced, and some of the decisions made on it are highly questionable.

[@StewardofAutumn]

Cause this is not over produced at all :p

[@GadGades]

I like this song and graveyard shift. A batman musical could work. Once you get into the mode and accept it coming, you can pretty much accept anything as a musical. The other songs though are kinda weak, especially the Joker's(this should have been the joker's)

[@GargusSCP]

Based on what I know about Batvillains and their motivations, this is more than likely a Mister Zsasz song.

[@drbri1964]

Can you imagine this if the musical was released 10 years ago with Meatloaf and Steinman?!!!?

[@kentallard8852]

20 years, it was developed in the late 1990s/2000s

[@LawKyoten]

This is a GD earworm!

[@itsdotnet]

Probably because Batman isn't exactly the type of person you expect to see in a musical.

[@NicholasWingoldenkiwi2095]

you know talking about Musicals MarioMan19 I feel that Batman should be given the musical theatre treatment that Broadway and the West End deserves as this is something that musical theatre needs the most for the right reasons I do believe that Warner Bros Discovery could learn something from that of the Warner Bros Theatre Ventures which means they will have to include something that should be produced for the stage for many years to come

[@baldybasford8083]

Love this version but miss the piggy video from meatloaf any ideas where I can find it

[@1andonlyzara]

MarioMan, you're talking about an industry that released Carrie: The Musical. ... Twice!

[@DMCMT01]

The second time was good

[@KenLieck]

@@DMCMT01 The first time was a misCarrie...

[@leekduck3929]

sounds evil

PyroGothNerd Oh hey, it's you!

[@tricksterson]

Au contraire. Maybe not the happy cheerful bouncy musical type, but a dark operatic style definitely

[@cksco]

Anyone know what the the plot would of been

[@JoshFreilich]

Is Rob Evan singing?

[@theredrighthandproductions]

Josh Freilich I believe so

[@jjj7790]

Feels very Le Mis.

[@JT826]

This sounds like Rob Evan!

[@DMCMT01]

No it doesn't IT IS Rob Evan 🥺 I love this man's voice

[@projectoutcastfilms4888]

@MarioMan19 you know, like spider-man!

[@nybias666]

Prefer this to Meatloaf's version.

[@DehnusNorder]

The 60's called to phone in their vocal disagreement with your points of view. ;).

[@Thatoneguyinurwalls]

I'm going to assume it's the Joker singing this song along with Harley Quinn? Amazing :)

[@ebrandt9698]

I thought it was pyg...

[@tomhallden9046]

+battenfelder It's in the description: It's actually the corrupt officials who run Gotham that sings it. :)

[@jacobburt1523]

I think it's Max Shreck primarily he's supposed to be in the musical as well

[@klaymen22]

@MarioMan19 because the dude dies i assume.

[@tHeLaUgHiNgHaWk]

@MarioMan19 niether was spider-man...

[@elyseelstone7672]

Who is singing this???? Please tell

[@beetlejuice9920]

Rob Evans.

[@liamnaruto]

this song is wall street's anthem or it should be

[@andrewmihovich4252]

Street crime was going to happen anyway, but with this...

[@KayoteThunder]

Was this written by Desmond Child and Jim Steinman?

[@ianloveday1383]

Just jim steinman

[@bmprelude]

Well they did it to spiderman

[@kervin1693]

idk... he was pretty funny in the batman beyond rendition

[@PyroGothNerd]

The two top comments contradict each other XD

[@ericsoto9644]

It was canceled because of Batman Begins being released.

[@EyesOfTheInternet]

Who is the singer here?

[@ugljesaturkovic7164]

:)

[@tray2022]

His name is Rob Evans he is a huge broadway actor

[@RoganDerrick]

travis brunell I think he wanted to know which character was signing it.

[@EyesOfTheInternet]

RoganDerrick I meant the performer. But thanks for being concerned.

[@garrettchandler6584]

Robert Evan. He played Jekyll and Hyde on Broadway

[@rabidphantomfan]

Neither is Spider-man but they made it anyway.

[@PyroGothNerd]

Or Superman....but that didn't go well when they made it

[@KrendallMobile]

It's interesting to hear the original version, but I prefer Meat Loaf's take.

[@olserknam]

I actually thought Meatloaf's version was good but didn't sound as villanous as this one.

[@doppelsnet]

+Paul Mcgregor Meatloaf is better but I do like this.

[@nybias666]

I prefer this to Meatloaf's version.

[@Kikefriki]

They should use the Prince songs...

[@Cheeseaddicteddaleks]

If they were to make a Batman musical, i think batman returns would have bin a better choice. Mostlly because it just seems more operetic, and u can imagine the penguin being a rather Phantom of The opera-type figure. I'd actually try and avoid Batman himself singing though, focusing more on the villains as Penguin, Catwoman and Shreck. name? 'The Bat, the cat and the Penguin'.

[@elijasway]

this version sucks. Meat Loaf's version is way better.
