Legend of the Metal Knight
Warning: I don’t know how awake you want to be this morning, but listening to this incredibly awesome metal version of Danny Elfman’s Batman theme by Artificial Fear is going to wake you the fuck up. It’s like shooting coffee directly into your brainstem. I was still yawning when I started the video; now I’m ready kick the day’s ass. Go fight crime. Punch guy Gardner in the nose. Possibly rip the Penguin’s kidney out with my bare hands. It’s just that fucking metal. (Via Gorilla Mask)
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.
