Hey Golden Age Batman!

What’s your favorite Elvis Costello song?

 

 

Coincidentally, that’s also his favorite episode of Degrassi: The Next Generation.

 

For more on Golden Age Batman’s Desert Island Ten, check out both Batman Chronicles v.6 and Armed Forces, which ain’t half bad either.

    That’s weird. I would have bet a lot of money on “Watching the Detectives.”

  2. Earlofthercs says:

    Mine’s Deep Dark Truthful Mirror. I think Two-Face likes that one too.

  3. skizelo says:

    I like the Joker’s leg. I think the martial art of childish flailing doesn’t get enough time in comics.

  4. Bryan Levy says:

    Oh, Craig. Unwanted pregnancies and coke addiction. Thanks, Canada!

  5. Ilion says:

    Hey, Manny was totally asking for it.

  6. notintheface says:

    By weird coincidence, that’s my favorite EC song, too!

  7. monkman says:

    Don’t forget nut cancer and school shootings!

    It has been too long since we’ve gotten a Degrassi reference…I mean unless the Degrassi references have been going over my head.

    On a similar subject, when are we going to get an HSM3 review?

    “Don’t worry… I can keep a secret.”

    Oh Manny…. why can’t you say those words to me. When you’re legal and all….

  10. Justin says:

    Sure, Batman *says* that’s his favorite EC tune… but only because he doesn’t want you to know “Good Year for the Roses” makes him cry every time.

  11. billso says:

    Well, I just don’t know where to begin!

  12. Christian says:

    Less Then Zero sounds like another Crisis ripoff
    Shallow Grave could be a 6 part Batman storyline
    High Fidelity would be a 90’s Bat-villian who uses sonics and too much padding

  13. notintheface says:

    “Blood and Chocolate” sounds like a Joker arc.

    Also, look at the center-page spread in Booster Gold#13 to find out what Starro the Conqueror’s favorite Green Day song is.

  14. Declean MacManus says:

    Two Little Hitlers sounds like a WWII era fave.

    13 Steps Lead Down is something he might hum to himself when going into the Batcave

  15. Douglas says:

    Batgirl favors “Blame It On Cain.”

  16. J.C. says:

    “And I’m up while the dawn is breaking, even though my hear is aching and I should be drinking a toast to absent friends instead of these comedians.”

    You know, I can really believe Batman is a big fan of Elivs Costello. I would think “Watching the Detectives” would bring up A LOT of bad memories of ex-girlfriends.

  18. kincsem1874 says:

    Batman may have had a limited Costello repetoire to choose from then, but Accidents Will Happen certainly fits the angsty current running through him.

    Clowntime is Over.

  19. notintheface says:

    Now I can’t hear “Girls Talk” without thinking of Harley and Ivy. Thanks, Chris!

  20. notintheface says:

    “Oliver’s Army” = The new James Robinson Justice League?

  21. billso says:

    Batman would never get happy.

  22. billso says:

    … but sometimes he gets almost blue.

  23. Benor says:

    I keep thinking of Batman yelling at Robin while “Lipstick Vogue” is playing.

  24. “Pump it Up” would be perfect for a Batman origin training montage.

    “Man Out of Time” would be great for the Golden Age time travel stories.

    And “Goon Squad” should play whenever the Penguin & his henchmen make an appearance.

  25. And “Talking in the Dark” is Batman’s post Silver St. Cloud breakup song.

  26. Doctor Double X’s theme song has GOT to be “My Science Fiction Twin.”

    I could do this all night…

  27. Doctor Double X’s theme is brilliant!
