Last week's Family Guy, and now on Simpsons (I have to change the channel), why must all this singing occur? The melodies aren't catchy and the lyrics aren't clever enough to carry the song.

Why do they keep doing this?

They sing all the time on the Simpsons. Personally I find the monorail song very catchy.

And Batman sang once on the Justice League. He wasn't bad either.

Yeah, and unlike many cartoon singers, he was actually on-key!

Is there anything Batman can't do?

kill.
Batman can not kill.
He has a pro criminal "no killing" code.

Kind of necessary to keep the truce with the GCPD. If he kills they have to go after him.

I'm sure he's capable. Just chooses not to. Much like his ability to break dance.

I'm still wonder why the Hayley Mills are we still in Iraq?
