Ironic how the Neal Heft 60s Batman theme is known for sounding like one of the most goofiest and campiest musical compositions of all time... but here, (in my opinion) it is what makes this composition sound so eerily intimidating... like "the batman" is coming for you and there's nothing you can do... >:)

Sorry. I guess my ears aren't as trained as yours. I hear no na na na na na na na Batman in this. Give me a time marker please.

[@jameshowlett5106]

Not a music guy, but I've often noticed combining three different pieces of music, all with different styles and tones, runs the risk of creating a jumbled mess. You managed to combine the three themes to make it sound like they were always intended to be a single piece. Well done. You do the Bat proud.

[@lydiahollowmoor4883]

Never ceases to amaze me that you took one of the campiest pieces of music ever written and turned it into something so perfectly suited to modern interpretations of the character that to my mind, it rivals the Elfman theme. What was once campy and ridiculous now becomes perfectly representative of what Batman is, the perfect point between the tense action of our hero stalking the bad guys and what is ostensibly a horror theme mirroring the abject dread that must run up a crooks spine as he sees a shift in the shadows and realizes that the Batman of Gotham is on his heels. Bra-f***ing-vo!

The Batman is Terrifying .. He is Evil, Fun and Wicked All Rolled Into One.. He is a Good Man Pushed Into Darkness . He is a One of A Kind.
