According to my exhaustive research (I typed “movie times” into Google), the film The Dark Knight Rises is still playing in movie theaters. Holy box office Batman! That must be some kind of record! And when it comes to Batman records, you’ve come to the right place.

Here’s a record I’ve been saving for a special occasion. But since that occasion never occurred, I may as well share it now. It’s Jan & Dean’s unique take on Batman, as inspired by the Batman phenomenon that swept the nation like smallpox in the first part of the second half of the 20th century. I’m talking about 1966, of course.

Note the clever way Jan wove the Neal Hefti Batman theme into the record, yet it functions as a new song! I also like the way the record stops dead in its tracks for the narration. It’s like “Dead Man’s Curve” but with bats.
