[ORCHESTRA WARMING UP]

[ORCHESTRA STOPS]

[ALL SHOUTING]

GORILLA GRODD: There it is.

The rocket carrying the United Nations' new comm satellite.

CLOCK KING: Which in our hands will allow us...

...to muck up the gears of global communication.

BLACK MANTA: And create worldwide chaos.

Looks like someone's been caught with their hands in the cookie jar.

A good spanking is in order for you boys.

Nothing will keep us from controlling that satellite.

Especially you.

Then it sounds to me like it's time to rumble.

BLACK MANTA: Indeed, but it is you who will take the--

[SINGING] Tumble

I'm sorry, hon, but did you just sing that?

BLACK MANTA: Of course I did--

[SINGING] Not Wait, yes, I did

I'm sounding shrill against my will And cannot stop this singing

And in my ears I swear I hear A quite distinctive ringing

This silly game is very lame And someone's going to pay

An unknown force

But where's the source That has us in its sway?

CLOCK KING: Who is doing this to us?

And on this we must concur

GORILLA GRODD & CLOCK KING & BLACK MANTA: They're dastardly

Despicable

Disturbingly inexplicable

And imminently kickable

ALL: That dirty rotten rat is

The Music Meister

Put down your arms, my friends

Your arrows, guns, and swords

Your resistance to my charm now ends

When I belt these power chords

Good guys or bad guys

It doesn't really matter

You are all just slaves

To my hypnotic patter

As I regale you with my story

You'll know you have no choice

But to do my evil bidding

When you hear this booming voice

- Oh, I'm the Music Meister ALL: He's the Music Meister

And everyone just fawns

ALL: He's the Music Meister

And we are all his pawns

And so for me it's destiny

To be the maestro of villainy

Yes, I'm the Music Meister

And I'm here to settle

The score

You see, I too have plans for this satellite...

...and now that I've established who's in charge...

...get to work.

Well, that's not something you see everyday.

[SINGING] Bullies used to pick on me Because I sang in choir

But something very strange occurred When I kept singing higher

The ruffians around me Quickly fell into a trance

And it was then with wicked glee I made those puppets dance

- I'm the Music Meister ALL: He's the Music Meister

And everyone just fawns

ALL: He's the Music Meister

And we are all his pawns

I'm the Music Meister

Crime became my path

He's the Music Meister

And we must beware his wrath

That voice. Beautiful.

[SINGING VOCAL CHORDS]

[SINGING VOCAL CHORDS]

The fiend. His voice can hit a pitch...

...that hypnotically controls anyone who hears it.

This concerto of crime is over.

MUSIC MEISTER: Batman.

I'm sorry, but my work's not quite clone yet.

[SINGING] You better toe the line, you see

Because your wills belong to me

And now, my friends You have the chance

To show Batman how well you dance

[MUSIC MEISTER LAUGHING]

[GRUNTS]

[BATMAN GRUNTING]

[GROWLS]

[GRUNTS]

[SINGING] And now that Batman's been delayed

Your usefulness has passed

A distraction is what I need So kick into that blast

I'm the Music Meister

I cannot help but boast

ALL: He's the Music Meister

Under his spell, we're toast

I'm the Music Meister

I won the day Now I must fly

I'm the Music Meister

And I'm here

To settle the

Score

[GROANING]

[ALL SHOUTING]

[ALL GRUNTING]

Something tells me this is only the beginning...

...of Music Meister's evil orchestrations.

Sounds like you could use a gal pal to help track him down.

BATMAN: These earplugs will protect you...

...from the Meister's lethal lyrics.

You make sure these criminals are kept under wraps...

...until the authorities arrive.

Ahem. I could use a gal pal.

I'm not giving up that easily, bat boy.

[SIGHS]

[MUSIC MEISTER PLAYING ORGAN]

MUSIC MEISTER: Thank you. Thank you. Ha, ha.

You're too kind.

With the satellite in my control...

...soon all the world will be singing my praise...

...and making me rich.

Though there is one thing that could still get in my way.

BATMAN: Your show's about to have a long intermission, Music Meister.

Twenty years to life.

Batman. Always Batman.

Always driving villains bats!

[SINGING] He always has a sidekick Some boy wonder at his call

His utility belt holds everything Can't find that at the mall

The Batmobile is super fast

There is no car that is surpassed

It's a good thing we've got Arkham

'Cause he really drives us bats

ALL: Drives us bats

Drives us bats

He really drives us bats, bats, bats

He drives us bats

MUSIC MEISTER: Whether dancing the Batusi

Or using an array of tools

He's always got the answers

He makes us look like fools

He's got no super powers

He's just a flying rat

It's a good thing we've got Arkham

-'Cause he really drives us bats ALL: Drives us bats

- World's greatest detective ALL: Drives us bats

GORILLA GRODD: Foiling every evil scheme

ALL: He really drives us bats, bats, bats

He drives us bats

BLACK MANTA: Even without shark repellant

CLOCK KING: He's tougher than he seems

Other heroes often ask

Why is he always the top cat?

ALL: He drives us bats

Drives us bats

Drives us bats

Look at him

Save the day

Keeping evil far away

A brave man

Like no man

Be my man

Batman

If only

He could love me

He could love me

If only he could love me

Like he loves

Fighting villainy

How she sings

Sweet as day

I could take her away

A fairy voice carries

I'd marry

Canary

- If only she could love me - If only he could love me

- If only she could love me - If only he could love me

- If only she could love me - If only he

- Could love me - Like I love

Villainy

Our voices may be in tune

But you, sir, don't make me swoon

Our voices, the perfect match

But your life I'll now

[BATMAN GROANS]

MUSIC MEISTER [SINGING]: Gears grindin', ropes bindin'

Coils windin'

For a super sap

Deathtrap

Pistons pangin', clamps a clangin' Springs sprangin'

It's the last lap

Deathtrap

No encore for you this time, Batman.

And I'm afraid it's closing night for my little birdy too.

A shame. We could have made such sweet music.

But now the world awaits my final number...

...and I shouldn't keep them.

[SINGING] Acid steamin', blades gleamin' Lasers beamin'

Final night cap

Deathtrap

Bones crushin', flesh mushin' Gore gushin'

It's a dirt nap

Deathtrap

Deathtrap

Deathtrap

[GRUNTS]

Was the singing really necessary?

Now the moment the world's been waiting for...

...without further ado, the show-stopper!

This show's closing early, Music Meister, due to criminal intent and bad reviews.

Well, I guess that's my cue.

[SINGING] The Music Meister

Sings the song That the world wants to hear

Let's not fight, let's get along

For your hypnotic profiteer

The Music Meister

ls the man that the world shall obey

So do your job Steal all you can

While you're under my sway

It's too late Now's the date

When the world became unfurled

A satellite projects my might

Around my finger you'll be twirled

ALL: The Music Meister

Sings the song That the world wants to hear

Let's not fight, let's get along

For our hypnotic profiteer

The Music Meister

ls the man that the world shall obey

So do your job Steal all you can

While you're under his sway

MUSIC MEISTER: You still persist But don't resist

Sing along to my song

Dance a dance France my prance

Because to me you now belong

ALL: The Music Meister

Sings the song That the world wants to hear

Let's not fight Let's get along

For our hypnotic profiteer

The Music Meister

ls the man that the world shall obey

So do your job Steal all you can

MUSIC MEISTER: Just you and him It's looking grim

Now you're mine Will Bats resign?

Use your voice He'll have no choice

Now it's time For you to shine

The Music Meister

Sings the song That the world wants to hear

Let's not fight Let's get along

For our hypnotic profiteer

Using Black Canary as an instrument of evil...

...you corrupt conductor.

But if you expect me to play along with your twisted tune...

...she'll have to sing as high as me.

[SINGING VOCAL CHORDS]

[SINGING VOCAL CHORDS]

No

[ALL GASPING]

Put a sock in it.

You've done it again, hero.

And that's some set of pipes you're sporting there.

Actually, I'm more of a baritone. I was only able to match your voice...

...with the use of this Bat Auto-Tuning Amplifier.

Such a clever boy.

Since the day's been saved, what do you say we grab a bite?

Sorry, crime doesn't take dinner breaks, and neither do I.

Until next time, Canary.

[SINGING] Look at him

He saved the clay

Kept all evil far away

A brave man

Like no man

His own man

Batman

GREEN ARROW: How you sing

Sweet as day

I could take you away

A fairy voice carries

I'd marry

Canary

[IN UNISON] If only

- He could love me - If only she could love me

- He could love me - If only she could love me

- If only he could love me - If only she could love me

[IN UNISON] Like we love

Fighting villainy
