First of all, I don't know whether or not there is a similar topic to this one on these boards other than the one that's been closed for a few years now. If there is a similar thread still open, I do apologize.
The topic is pretty straightforward. What are some songs that remind you of Batman or of Batman's world? It could be a song from any genre. There are no exceptions other than songs that are already associated with Batman (i.e. 60's Batman theme, Danny Elfman's Batman theme, Zimmer's score, etc.).
I'll start:
The Sound of Silence - Simon & Garfunkel

This is perhaps the most obvious one. The song perfectly captures the tone and feel of not only Bruce's origin but also of what it is like to live in Crime Alley.
Bang Bang (My Baby Shot Me Down) - Sonny Bono

Excuse the romantic parts of the song.
The Unforgiven I - Metallica

Nothing Else Matters - Metallica

The Metallica songs are self-explanatory.
Goodbye Blue Sky - Pink Floyd

The war parts don't really fit that well but the main theme of the song does IMO. The message is essentially that everyone learns at some point in their lives that the world isn't all fun and games like we thought it was when we were kids. The moment you realize the sky isn't as blue as you thought it was (metaphorically speaking) is when one's path towards adulthood begins. In a very similar way, Bruce Wayne said goodbye to the blue sky that night in Crime Alley.
Cells - The Servant

Don't really have a good reason. Just because.
Safe & Sound - Taylor Swift

I don't really know why this song reminds me of Batman either. It is mainly just the refrain that does. There is also the fact that one of my friends played this song over and over again in the other room while I was doing a Batman marathon so maybe that has something to do with it.
Please keep in mind that these are all off the top of my head. I may come back later and share more songs. Until then, I'm interested in hearing what everyone else has to say.
