Batman songs, what songs remind you of the Dark Knight?

[Tempest19]

The idea of this thread is simple- what songs remind you of Batman?

One 'rule': Can not be a song from any Batman soundtrack.

Boulevard of Broken Dreams- Greenday



Who I am- Smile Empty Soul



Cells- The Servant



Stay In Shadow- Finger 11



Imagine- Perfect Circle

Boulevard of Broken Dreams- Greenday

Batman isn't nearly that emo.

Cells-The Servant?

The lyrics to that song don't make any sense lol.
"We eat chinese off our knees"
Very batman-ish.

 

[OctaviusINC]

^heh. True.

 

[Tempest19]

It's the darkness mixed with rock that is reminiscent of Batman's world. There are actually MANY Batman music vids on youtube for that song in particular. Something just screams Gotham City and Batman's universe.

The title wasn't meant to be taken literally as only Batman songs, but his "world" as well.

And Boulevard was originally rumored to be tied to Batman Begins actually and has gone from there to being another song top used by other Batman fans in vids.

Guh, Most of those songs suck.

Thank god it wasn't.

The Subtle Arts Of Murder & Persuasion by Lamb of God. Not the actual song so much, it's too heavy to remind me of bats and the fact that he doesn't kill but the lyrics explain a night patrolling Gotham to me.

The dark crow man sits and stares into the oblivion into cold, into nothingness; it's snowing in his mind.
He's created himself in his own image. Lust held for him means naught, a knock on the door brings no smile to his cruel lips;
the welcome in a woman's eyes holds nothing for him.
Alone on his haunches the hair raises on the back of his neck. His dead eyes pierce the night.
As his gaze falls down on the city it fills him the method ascertained, conviction.
He knows what to do and moves to commit the deed.

All Along the Watchtower


"There must be some way out of here," said the joker to the thief,
"There's too much confusion, I can't get no relief.
Businessmen, they drink my wine, plowmen dig my earth,
None of them along the line know what any of it is worth."

"No reason to get excited," the thief, he kindly spoke,
"There are many here among us who feel that life is but a joke.
But you and I, we've been through that, and this is not our fate,
So let us not talk falsely now, the hour is getting late."

All along the watchtower, princes kept the view
While all the women came and went, barefoot servants, too.

Outside in the distance a wildcat did growl,
Two riders were approaching, the wind began to howl.

 

[Redwoods Wolf]

Trans-Siberian Orchestra's version of "Carol of the Bells" first perfectly into the New Year's chapter of Long Halloween.

"Returns A King" from the 300 soundtrack reminds me of Dark Knight Returns--very thundering and dramatic, while also sober and somewhat grim.

This tune...says it all..about batman...and the batman begins film..this song destroys all songs that try to hold a candle to this tune...

MY FRIEND OF MISERY

You just stood there screaming
Fearing no one was listening to you
They say the empty can rattles the most
The sound of your own voice must soothe you
Hearing only what you want to hear
And knowing only what you've heard
You, you're smothered in tragedy
And you're out to save the world

Misery
You insist that the weight of the world
Should be on your shoulders
Misery
There's much more to life than what you see
My friend of misery

You still stood there screaming
No one caring about these words you tell
My friend, before your voice is gone
One man's fun is another's hell
These times are sent to try men's souls
But something's wrong with all you see
You, you'll take it on all yourself
Remember, misery loves company

Misery
You insist that the weight of the world
Should be on your shoulders
Misery
There's much more to life than what you see
My friend of misery

You just stood there screaming
My friend of misery

when the batman begins trailers came out i made an EDIT to this tune and added the dialog to it...its a ruff demo of it..but it sounds kick ass and once i can figure it out to pop it up on the net you damn know i will here!!!!!
Nuff said!
