I've seen some comments about how it's too upbeat to be batman but the point of the song is that he is questioning the batman persona including his darkness, so it would be weird for the song to be dark when his own darkness is what he is questioning. Almost all of his iconic enemies wear bright colours, and in the song he believes he is the same as them, hence the brightness. All my interpretation anyway , take it or leave it.
You mean the lyrics “Check my hand I guess the jokes on me I’m not laughing at the irony” It’s the pre chorus of “I am the Night” as well, pretty awesome how you use that to connect the songs together.
This song popped into my head again today, so I went back to listen to it. I first stumbled upon it around 8 years ago, along with Joker's Song, and it's stuck with me ever since. Such a powerful analysis of Batman; the chorus always made me think Riddler was singing it, but when I realized it was Bruce that was (of course) way better. There is something so chilling and awesome about hearing him question his own sanity and deeply consider what everyone else is thinking about him. And it's got an AMAZING meoldy and beat! I love how each of Batman's villains is worked in so cleverly. Definitely one of the best songs I've ever heard associated with the Dark Knight. Really holds up after all this time!
This song is genius. It comes from (in my opinion) The Riddlers Perspective of The Dark Knight. That in itself is genius, Lyrics match up perfectly with the music video and really sets the mood of Arkham Asylum.
My thought is that it's Batman starting to believe he's losing it and he "Riddle me this" is a sign of who the song is for: E. Nigma. Sort of like telling him "This is not a good time to mess with me, Ed."
I like how at the end where Joker flashes on screen after "Does anyone really know of the bat?" like its saying the only one who actually does is The Joker
I always find it interesting the way that Batman's rogues work very well as embodiments of his own psyche. Every last one that stays around works as a potential hallucination of a disturbed mind.
It is immpressive how he can capture the mood and style of every game he writes about, and still produce a catchy, amazing song with fitting lyrics to the game! That really is true talent!
In my head its song split between the Riddler and Joker, Riddler is trying desperately to figure out who batman is.The Joker being the joker, is sabotaging Ed by being silly. In the end the Joker accidentally gives Riddler the nudge in the right direction. The "check my head I guess the joke's on me" part is riddler at first being unsurprised at the joker being unhelpful, then as he gets more annoyed he starts hating being compared to the joker(Is your taunting true, am I as crazy as you?) and then becomes him laughing at the irony of the joker giving him all he needs to figure out who Batman really is.
Can’t believe this song is twelve years old an still an absolute banger! Man, if Gavin had released this music in the current year people would’ve thought he’s just an AI. Props to this mad lad!
I think it's switching between Riddler and Batman singing. I see it as Riddler standing on a stage, before a legion of Batsy's villains, and talking/singing what's in the song. Then, it switches to Batman on top of the Gotham buildings, fighting various villains and goons, talking/singing.
TheDoctor2222 I see it as Riddler - Joker switching it up. Riddler is trying to find out who batman is and Joker is sabotaging him via doodling on his work and mocking him. Riddler is about to give up when he sees joker's "Goatee Wayne" picture. which makes it all click for the riddler...
This is phenomenal too. I love how you reference to the Joker with: "Do you know it when you go strange?Is your taunting true, am I as crazy as you?" And to Riddler of course At first this kind of happy tone was strange to me, but you just couldn't make a mistake, could you?
Why does Gavin have the most awesome community ever? I mean, seriously? HOW? I experience every day how absolutely humorous and kind you guys are, it's incredible. Plus you all have the same music taste, as I have. I love you guys and I love you Gavin. For you music, for you community. You are too awesome. Love from germany
Oh man, I love how this references a lot of Batman's villians... Riddler, Joker, Poison Ivy, Killer Croc, Hugo Strange. And is that a subtle hint at Bruce Wayne in the lyric "Am I letting my reason wane?" Man this song is just wonderful.
Mt sister got me into this song LOL! I really like it when you mention the villains! "Riddle me this now, and Riddle me that" ~The Riddler. "So Poison the Ivy with your Crocodile tears" ~Poison Ivy and Killer Croc. "Do you know it when You Go Strange" ~Hugo Strange. This is an awesome song with clever lyrics! You guys did an awesome job :)
Sometimes it's better to trust your audience's imagination. Not everything needs to be visually blatant and conspicuous. The whole point is that the Riddler did remain hidden for the majority of the game - watching from the sidelines.
this is perfect i can just picture all of the villains in their cells singing this together and the whole feel of it is just perfect miracle of sound you have made a bat geek very very happy
riddle me this riddle me that. some call me a passion, others incorporate me into their fashion, but I usually come in the form of a question. what am i
No exaggeration I still sing this relentlessly during every Arkham play through I sound like a bag of cats in a blender so I’m sure my loved ones are very appreciative of your work 😂
When I first heard the song: "Meh... It's okay." The next day: "Check my head, I guess the joke's on meeeeee, ooooh-ooooh! ...I've gotta look up that song again."
I think Batman's singing this as it's shown in the comics and the game that the only thing different from Batman and his villain is the fact that he doesn't hurt the innocent or kill
Yeah that's why I hate when people say he has no personality because it really depends on the writer honestly my favorite is Scott Snyder because it shows his turmoils like in the court of owls story arc
***** A. My appologies, I lapsed into my own tongue. B. No vow keeps you from making mistakes or from getting into accidents. And a violent life, always become filled with both. There is no vow that keeps the bodies of humans together, spare me your rose-colored views on reality.

"Riddle me this now, and riddle me that" (Riddler) "Am I letting my reason wane?" (Bruce Wayne/Batman) "Check my head, I guess the joke's on me" (Joker) "So poison the ivy with your crocodile tears" (Poison Ivy, Killer Croc) "We're climbing the vines to the height of your fears" (possibly Scarecrow) "Do you know it when you go strange?"

Let's see... Riddler, Two-Face, Penguin, Bruce Wayne, Joker, Poison Ivy, Killer Croc, Scarecrow, Hugo Strange are the obvious references. I could, with some stretching, justify seeing a hint at Prometheus. So, any Batman related character references I've missed?
jjg787 Unless I'm extremely dense right now, I don't see any reference there. If you're talking about Bane showing up in the vid at 1:34, then I should clarify that I was looking for references in the lyrics.
It's quite far-fteched, but "the law I'm DEALING", with Penguin being the merchant of the Arkham games, and in the same line "letting my reason WANE", where wane is pronounced exactly as Wayne. Like I said, far-fetched, but I try to find as many as possible. :p
This is the second song I've listened to of yours. YOU ARE AMAZING I CANNOT DESCRIBE IT!!! "riddle me this now and riddle me that does anyone really know the mind of the bat! In my head FOREVER!
Riddle me this now, riddle me that Does anyone really know the mind of the Bat? I live the shadows, I work in the shade A cape and a mask, a lonely keeper's crusade Can you tell me I'm not insane?

i used to listen to this song A Lot in 2016? 17? and a few times while in the car with my mum, and even now years later she sometimes out of the blue asks me to play this song.
Penny Rogers "Is your taunting true? Am I as crazy as you?" It's very likely Gavin intended the lyrics to jump perspectives - the reocurring theme of the Arkham games (and the original comic, from what I gather - have only ever read about it) is the questioning of if Batman is just as insane as the criminals he puts away. You can hear hints of this in Gavin's "Joker's Song" as well, and it's played up rather big in Arkham Knight.

I used to listen to this song a lot as a little kid, it still holds up.
I've seen some comments about how it's too upbeat to be batman but the point of the song is that he is questioning the batman persona including his darkness, so it would be weird for the song to be dark when his own darkness is what he is questioning. Almost all of his iconic enemies wear bright colours, and in the song he believes he is the same as them, hence the brightness. All my interpretation anyway , take it or leave it.
Well said
Makes sense. I thought it fit better with Dick Grayson as Batman.
I was suddenly hit with thee most ubeat music I've heard in my life expecting a terrifying darkness, nice
It's also aout _insanity,_ so a disconcertingly upbeat tune about dark subject matter makes thematic sense.
Nah mate like your version,
Because it helps fuel and warp mine😊👍
R.I.P Kevin Conroy. You inspired us all as the Dark Knight. You were the true Batman.🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇
The melody in that part is the same melody I used in the middle section of my other Batman song named Rise, which contains that lyrics :)
You mean the lyrics
“Check my hand I guess the jokes on me
I’m not laughing at the irony”
It’s the pre chorus of “I am the Night” as well, pretty awesome how you use that to connect the songs together.
They say remembering is like living something once again, so here we are. One of your many bangers. Thanks for existing, Miracle of Sound.
yeah
"is your taunting true am I as crazy as you"- best line
This song is FAR too damned catchy. Good on you, Miracle of Sound, for exploring some different styles for Batman. Bravo!
His name's Gavin.
The Mind Of A Bat song was awesome feel to the Arkham Asylum game, that's why this dude and the game are both brilliant, he's the best.
Love the Puns in this song. Great Job.
This song popped into my head again today, so I went back to listen to it. I first stumbled upon it around 8 years ago, along with Joker's Song, and it's stuck with me ever since. Such a powerful analysis of Batman; the chorus always made me think Riddler was singing it, but when I realized it was Bruce that was (of course) way better. There is something so chilling and awesome about hearing him question his own sanity and deeply consider what everyone else is thinking about him. And it's got an AMAZING meoldy and beat! I love how each of Batman's villains is worked in so cleverly. Definitely one of the best songs I've ever heard associated with the Dark Knight. Really holds up after all this time!
For some reason I’m imagining Joker and Batman doing some sort of quickstep to this....
Congratulations to anyone who makes it back to this song after these many years. Look to the sky at night, let's stand the highest heights.
I can't believe this isn't the most popular video on RUclips!
I feel like it's switching between joker, riddler and batman singing.
Maybe maybe but Hugo wasn't in yet... So maybe it was joker singing that or riddler
I think it’s between Batman and joker mostly
I think Batman and joker
That’s because it is
Karaoke Night at Gotham
This song is genius. It comes from (in my opinion) The Riddlers Perspective of The Dark Knight. That in itself is genius, Lyrics match up perfectly with the music video and really sets the mood of Arkham Asylum.
My thought is that it's Batman starting to believe he's losing it and he "Riddle me this" is a sign of who the song is for: E. Nigma. Sort of like telling him "This is not a good time to mess with me, Ed."
I always have thought that this song was about Joker's perspective about Bats, but who know!

I saw you on I can't decide
Dang it, how did I forget about this for a year?
3 years for me buddy boy
I like how at the end where Joker flashes on screen after "Does anyone really know of the bat?" like its saying the only one who actually does is The Joker
if he now how it was under the mask he would have kill brus wayn by now
To quote Joker "wheres the fun in that?"
If he did kill his nemesis he would loose most of his purpose in life, and probably end up more insane that he already is
joker doesn't know and doesn't want to know
+andreas sjotun Actually, there's a few stories where Batman dies, or seems to, and The Joker's reaction is to go SANE instead.
Awesome song, as usual. Can't get enough of music.

I always find it interesting the way that Batman's rogues work very well as embodiments of his own psyche. Every last one that stays around works as a potential hallucination of a disturbed mind.

"Do you know it when you go strange?"
you-go strange...
HUGO STRANGE
i see what you did there
"Am I letting my reason wane?"
Wayne?
BRUCE WAYNE
Well done, Gavin, well done...
"Poison the Ivy with your Crocodile tears." Nice references there...
Vaughn Monger What does Bruce Wayne have to do with Batman?
There are some books by the name "Detective Comics" that say the rumor that Bruce Wayne is the Batman.
Bruce Wayne is Batman? No way!?!?!?
why do I just see Edward Nygma singing this.... probably because it begins with Riddle me this...... but still... I feel like he would sing this.....
you read my mind
its just like, he's cool enough to make it work but nerdy enough to do it...
Harley Quinn yeah, I understand
like ugh! some one! do cosplay vid! make this happen!!!

This is phenomenal too. I love how you reference to the Joker with: "Do you know it when you go strange?Is your taunting true, am I as crazy as you?"
And to Riddler of course
At first this kind of happy tone was strange to me, but you just couldn't make a mistake, could you?
Hu go strange

Yeah, that too! Fenomenal.

This guy really is a miracle of sound.

Man this song is just wonderful.
There's some brilliant songwriting in this. I appreciate the villain name puns.
Your batmam songs are by far my favorite
Have u heard the joker one
The Joker of course! That is the best one

"Riddle me this now, and Riddle me that" ~The Riddler.

This is an awesome song with clever lyrics! You guys did an awesome job :)
It's one guy. I know. awesome right? his name is Gavin
BiohasardShade Huh... Thought it was multiple people... Ah well. Still one of the best songs I've heard :p
Oh and "I'm not laughing at the irony"

@Massacyre It's an old song!

It caught me eye after watching the teaser from The Dark Knight preview, that's why both the movie and the game are awesome things from Batman.
@@josephlowry4320 Absolutely!

@ChoskarChulian My fave part of the song :)
@bleachigo10 You haven't heard the NEW batman song yet... ;)
Did anyone else catch all the character references? My favorite aspect of this song.
@djklink20009 I'd love to agree dude but they actually take a long time to make and aren't easy for me! 20% talent, 80% hard work :)
I saw this when it came out in now 15 and still know all the words
This song is very catchy
riddle me this riddle me that. some call me a passion, others incorporate me into their fashion, but I usually come in the form of a question. what am i
by far the best batman song by MoS
For some reason, this puts me in mind of the 60's batman series with West. Not sure why though...
Cause it’s cheery?
No exaggeration I still sing this relentlessly during every Arkham play through
I sound like a bag of cats in a blender so I’m sure my loved ones are very appreciative of your work 😂
All the references in the song is genius!
still one of my favorite
I love all the villains of The Batman
General Karn All the classic ones,yeah me too
When I first heard the song: "Meh... It's okay."
The next day: "Check my head, I guess the joke's on meeeeee, ooooh-ooooh! ...I've gotta look up that song again."
I love how you so neatly tied everything together with Rise, much like the film you based that song on.
if I wasn't broke I would buy all of your Batman songs
lmao xD
Me to best batman song in a while
Are you still broke
@starwarfan8342 yes but now I have a Spotify family plan I follow him on there
@demonjack123 It means pay What You want
Ah the game that started my sheer hatred of riddler's bullshit
How could you hate Riddler?? His story is probably one of the saddest
@@guts1913 I don't hate riddler I just found the way riddler speaks incredibly infuriating
This is pure genius.
@masorin0 You kidding bro? Riddler has more dialogue in Arkham Asylum than almost anyone! :)
@agentx213 It's an older song
I think Batman's singing this as it's shown in the comics and the game that the only thing different from Batman and his villain is the fact that he doesn't hurt the innocent or kill
That is true u know ur comics
Yeah that's why I hate when people say he has no personality because it really depends on the writer honestly my favorite is Scott Snyder because it shows his turmoils like in the court of owls story arc
He is violent, who's to say he won't accidently kill a few here and there? The only real difference, is that he is "not laughing at the ironi" ;D

This is definitely something Riddler would write and sing

10/10 perfect earworm material :D
still a classic
Let's see... Riddler, Two-Face, Penguin, Bruce Wayne, Joker, Poison Ivy, Killer Croc, Scarecrow, Hugo Strange are the obvious references. I could, with some stretching, justify seeing a hint at Prometheus.
So, any Batman related character references I've missed?
Bane at 1:31

Extremely addictive song. I first came across it this evening and can't stop listening to it. I'm going to download it on itunes.

It's very likely Gavin intended the lyrics to jump perspectives - the reocurring theme of the Arkham games (and the original comic, from what I gather - have only ever read about it) is the questioning of if Batman is just as insane as the criminals he puts away. You can hear hints of this in Gavin's "Joker's Song" as well, and it's played up rather big in Arkham Knight.
***** Rather big is an understatement...

Even after 10 years I still don't know it's joker or Riddler singing 😅
It's Batman's fractured psyche.
