So that’s what they call a family
I wouldn’t know…my folks are dead.
All I’ve got is Michael Caine playing Alfred.

So all I’ve got’s a thirst for justice
Well, who says it’s all that bad?
Ain’t ya glad I’m keeping Gotham safe for you?

When I patrol
On my own
A menacing shadow wrapped in vengeance
For a Batman night’s the only time of day
When the city’s more or less sleepin’
And the psychos come out to play
And the Dark Knight’s finally found himself some prey

And I’m free
Like the wind
Like I’m gonna live forever
Being Bruce Wayne never made me feel this way
A signal so big and yellow
Says the Batman’s here to stay
Villains should run.
Their time is done.
It’s Judgment Day!

Where does it say this city’s beyond saving?
Why does it seem like no one stays locked up?
Why should you only take what you’re given?
Why should you spend your whole life living
Trapped in a dark cape and mask
Even as a billionaire
Breakin’ your back for everyone else’s sake
When Scarecrow poisons the water
Theatricality isn’t enough
Especially when Bane busts out
And you’ve gotta get real tough!

I’m Batman
Did you hear?
Do you swear you won’t forget me?
I’m a symbol of what Gotham stands up for.
Who I am does not define me
It’s what I do that paves the way!

I’ll give chase
And I’ll win
Let Joker laugh in my face
I don’t care
I’m Batman!
Goddamn…

So that’s what they call being normal.
Aren’t you glad that you’re alone?
Aren’t you glad that you’re Gotham’s Darkest Knight…
