Ok this time round we have the Batman opening themes fighting it out!

Which is the best Batman theme of all time?

60's live action Batman
Batman TAS
Batman Beyond
The Batman No1
The Batman No2

So which one kicks the most ass?

The origional Batman show is just to campy not to love and will forever like the Spider-Man theme song live forever.

Batman TAS is a very nice upgrade with the included fight scene with Batman Beyond following in suit.

Batman no1 just focused to much on the gimicks with the whispery end, it just isn't very good.

Batman no2, brings us back to the roots somewhat, but is just to busy, still a much needed change for the series from the origional opening.

Tha Batman 1 is great. its is sinister and captures Batmans darkness perfectly. Its by The Edge from U2.Not that i care who wrote it.

I havent heard The Batman 2 cos the BBC apparently havent bought it and i didnt know that the theme was diferent.
I must seek out The Batman series 2.
perhaps its floating round the BBC somewhere.

I agree that TAS is #1, but, for me, Beyond is a close second.

I voted for TAS.
It's simply the best!

No I didnt.....I was sleepy and when I read one of them was called "60% live action Batman" I figured it was a typo anyway.

It needed to say 60's live action Batman for me to get what you were asking but its no big deal.

I dont know if you noticed that "the Batman 2 has the tempo of the 60's theme in the back ground???

How could I have missed that, come on a % instead of 's.... I'm loosing it. :oops:

thanks I'll put it right right now.
I don't know about the tempo of The Batman 2, I just stumbled over it by chance, I noticed it sounded different as it started so I just posted the link without listening to it.
I'm no fan of theBatman, I watched the first 10 or 15 episoed and didn't really like it.

Its not my fav ether but since I'm old enough to remember the Batman cartoons of the 70's I see "The Batman" as not being so bad by compairson.

The only thing that was real good about it was that it had Adam West and Burt Ward from the 60's live action show doing the voices of Batman And Robin.

The worst part was an elf like character called Bat-mite.

Here's a clip frpm an episode.

The show was modeled after the late 60's Batman cartoon.
