What music doe's Batman listen to on his Ipod?

[Dalukoz]

Im guessing either the cure or death metal.

[The Xenos]

Batman doesn't use an iPod. Clearly WayneTech has a vastly superior mp3 player. Bah. iPods. There are more mp3s players than that sucker. Don't buy the propaganda.

Also, I don't see him being that much into more trendy music. I would guess more classical and opera. I would guess some Wagner. Maybe some jazz to relax.

[stealthwise]

Polka, because nothing's funnier than busting a punk's nose while listening to some fat Hungarian rip out on the accordion.

[Super Buddies Forever]

I think it was fairly well-established in the 1989 movie that Batman loves Prince.

He probably listens to Bat Dance, Partyman, and Trust on a constant loop in the Batmobile, much to Robin's chagrin.

Don't take this the wrong way, but that is probably the most rediculous thread topic I ever saw. :cool:

Serious answer: As Batman, he doesn't listen to music, it would divert his attention. To relax he knows meditation stuff that would work much better.

He would listen to music to be able to understand pop culture references, and classical references, and culture in general, but that would mean no personal favourites, just research.
As Bruce Wayne, he visits the opera I guess, and probably takes interest as a patron in hiring good singers and artists for it. Also, he might visit nightclubs with high-society girls. He probably takes interest in offering Wayne stipends to promising young musicians.
But listening to music for fun, in private? I cannot see him doing this.

[Kid Kyoto]

He listen to podcasts and books on tape.

He relaxes by listening to foriegn languages and trying to decipher them on his own.

[Froggy]

He listens to books on tape

*CRACK!*

[cactusmaac]

Joe Orlando wrote a story in Batman: Black and White which said he was a jazz fan. I think that's right. He's a tightly controlled, highly disciplined guy who would probably enjoy the improvisational nature of it. He'd probably be into Miles Davis.

I think Catwoman's a Prince fan. His music fits her personality.

[dreyga2000]

I-Pod??? Don't you mean L-POD:) I would assume he would listen to "On Leather Wings"

[The Shadow]

Rage Against the Machine, Nine Inch Nails, Motorhead, old school Guns & Roses and lots of classical when he winds down.

[Sizzle]

He'd not use a iPod, he'd build his own that is technically superior and not incombered with DRM crap.

That being said, he probably reviews case files that he has Alfred record.

[Servo]

Anything he can dance the Batusi to, I guess.

The Best of Sondheim.

'Cause even Batman thinks that Weber's too pretentious,

[casual Bat Fan]

I can so see Batman listening to Marvin Gaye's Trouble Man album. It's one of the most depressing jazz albums ever made IMO. The music in that album can't help but make someone depressed and it's the kind of gritty sad music that fits Batman's mood IMO.

(BTW if you've never heard that album I urge you to buy it)

[barbarous j]

He's probably one of those guys who says he hates whatever Tim's blasting through the mansion all day, but when he's by himself is secretly digging it.

[shaxper]

If he isn't listening to the police band or Sun Zu on Audiobook, then it's probably German Opera.

[sgt pepper]

Hmm. What mu'sic doe's he li'sten to? That's a hard one. He probably invented a Batpod decade's ago, 'so who know's?

[AM/FM Wizard]

Waters-era Pink Floyd and Gary Numan.

[DonC]

Obviously the only doe he would listen to is the one from The Sound of Music.


"Doe a deer, a female deer...."

[mattx110]

the only stuff i can seriously see him take an interest in is classical music.
romantic period, and maybe chopin and liszt. the moody ones...

i just can't picture him singing along, although he might like some old standards because his film tastes are closer to the 30s...

[Choppa]

Batman soundtrack

[Your Imaginary Pal]

James Brown's "The Big Payback"
I don't know Karate, but I know KuhRazay.
I'm mad, I want revenge.

It's what fuels his war on crime in Gotham.

[Young Avenger]

He listens to the soundtrack of the Adam West Batman show.

[Infra-Man]

Definitely has to be opera, classical music, jazz musicians, and jazz singers/crooners.

Those fit best with his cultured, high-society background.

Outside shot: the music of John Barry.

[Wenatchee the Hatchet]

Odds are ten to one the music that is most going to affect him will be music liked by one and all of the following three people:

Dad
Mom
Alfred

Because of his identification with and sense of loss for the older generation I think it's a safe bet that he uses music to help him remember what he can of being with his parents. Even if we divorce Bats from conventional space and time 40s music is likely to be something he likes all around. It also happens to be when THE most kick-ass classical music and jazz of that time was happening. So I can see Bruce liking Ellington, some early Monk, Armstrong, Davis, Bartok, Stravinsky, probably not Shostakovich because it's too long and the sonata forms and fugues tend to be undisciplined. I think his sense of control and tendency to emotional restraint would tilt him heavily toward Classic era composers and neo-classical. I know he'd like some Romantics but even though he's dark and moody he's also a control freak and I think he'd like composers that emphasize formal discipline and invention over people who just make stuff up. So I think he'd prefer Haydn to Mozart but both guys to Scriabin. He'd know Wagner because he feels he has to but not necessarily enjoy Wagner (okay, I betray my prejudice, here).

If he had a death obsession Mahler would be a gimme but Mahler's probably too long even for Bruce. He wouldn't want to go to a concert that was so long it'd chip into Batman time so I think he'd lean toward chamber music, string quartets, stuff on small enough of a scale that he can enjoy the music for its own sake but not have to make a scene leaving his seats to go be Batman.

Plus BTAS played on this kind of approach because in the background of events Bruce is usually at you'll hear Haydn quartets (I can't peg the menuet playing at one of the parties in the cartoon but I'm pretty sure it's Haydn) and he knows at least one song from Oklahoma or he wouldn't have solved one of Riddler's earlier riddles.

But as much as we can count on him having a soft spot for 40s or 50s music we can count on him not talking about it even with most friends, like the great line from BTAS where all he'll tell Dick about the Oklahoma song is "It was before your time." Batman may like songs from musicals but he's never going to admit to that in front of younger people.

[The Xenos]

If he isn't listening to the police band or Sun Zu on Audiobook, then it's probably German Opera.

Like Johann Strauss II's Die Fledermaus? Nyuk nyuk.

[Kristofer]

I'd say somewhere within the track list is "Dentist" from The Little Shop of Horrors soundtrack. Seeing the song it about choosing a career in causing pain to others....

[Citizen V]

Batman doesn't use an iPod.

Perfect responce.:cool:
