The Greatest Metal Cover of the ’89 Batman Theme You’ll Ever Hear
What makes it so great? Well, it’s not just that the ridiculous, nerd-oriented metal band Powerglove is playing it, although that’s surely a bonus (although it might be argued that a less nerdy band would fail to make a metal cover of the ’89 Batman movie theme at all). No, what makes it great is the accompanying music video, which contains absolutely 0% Batman, and yet is still one of the most entertaining things you’ll see all week, I guarantee. Seriously, just watch. And thanks to Inyara for the tip.
About The Author
Robert Bricken is one of the original co-founders of the site formerly known as Topless Robot, and its first editor-in-chief, serving from 2008-12. He brought the site to prominence with “nerd news, humor and self-loathing” as its motto, raising it from total internet obscurity to a readership in the millions, with help from his savage “FAQ” movie reviews and Fan Fiction Fridays. Under his tenure Topless Robot was covered by Gawker, Wired, Defamer, New York magazine, ABC News, and others, and his articles have been praised by Roger Ebert, Avengers actor Clark Gregg, comedian and The Daily Show correspondent John Hodgman, the stars of Mystery Science Theater 3000 and Rifftrax, and others. He is currently the managing editor of io9.com. Despite decades as both an amateur and professional nerd, he continues to be completely unprepared for either the zombie apocalypse or the robot uprising.
