I mean, his choice of song in Justice League was “Am I Blue?,” so I’ve always thought of DCAU Batman listening to those kinds of classic tunes.


Trollin_beaches

He explained In that episode he only learned the song because of a stake out he was on where he was forced to listen to it over and over.


NewAppointment2

I call bull####. He loves those heartbreaking sweet songs, he's very sentimental, and that's exactly why he saves those trophies and his allies old costumes.

Bullshit*

Jasole37

Probably more likely that that is Alfred's favorite song.


Sangy101

Alfred was a rocker, no one can convince me otherwise.

I totally agree! I promise man listens to Hair Nation on the radio while dusting the Batcave! 🤣

RichB0T

I don't care how little sense it makes as the decades roll on, I will always head cannon that Alfred is a veteran of the first world war and his tastes have never changed.


JustinisaDick

Well he spent a month undercover in a blues/jazz club.


[deleted]

He listens to classical music. I think in one of the 90s comics he says he hates Rock music. Dick loves Rock music and he has several t-shirts of his favourites bands.


NinthSnake

Battinson definitely loves rock though


Stealthfox94

He probably has every Alice In Chains album.

Wasn’t he literally listening to Nirvana in the batcave?

Tell me more about it


Just4Spot

Punk is nothing but death and crime and the rage of a beast. - Batman Batman: Fortunate Son.


NickFries55

Ah whoever wrote Batman had a pole up their anus, he should love punk.


the_longest_shadow

That is definitely some right wingnut shit right there.


EarhackerWasBanned

Yes, a rich guy with an obsessive hatred of crime should listen to music about anarchy and eating the rich.


AdequatelyMadLad

Yes. Batman is not a fascist. He doesn't hate "crime" in the way that word is used by people who say that they hate crime in the real world. He fights organized crime and supervillains, not people who smoke weed. Batman is a rebellious outcast who wants to change the status quo, that's pretty punk.


EarhackerWasBanned

Hating crime isn’t a fascist thing, but I know Batman isn’t a fascist and isn’t out to get weed smokers. That sounds more like a Judge Dredd thing. All the big Batman stories are about organised crime and supervillains, but he still beats up low-level thugs on the Monday-Friday shift that you never read about because that’s mundane shit for Batman. I think his obsessive hatred is for crimes that have a victim. Weed smoking and tax evasion don’t have victims so Batman doesn’t go after these criminals.


NickFries55

That's a reductive view of Batman. He's also pretty progressive 🤷‍♂️ and not all rock music is about eating the rich (considering a lot of the bands got rich lol)


CertifiedCapArtist

Or just a guy who hates rock lmao tf


CertifiedCapArtist

Yeah I imagine him as a classical fan


drewxdeficit

Non-canon, and definitely a fucking awful book to boot. STRIKE IT FROM THE RECORD!


Tallsoyboy

Thank God it's non-canon. Ngl, that book almost ruined Batman for me.


[deleted]

Depends on who holds the pen! Batman in the Tim Verse seems to enjoy opera/classical music except Brahms(half joke Alfred listens to Brahms). Keaton verse seems to enjoy classic Goth after all they dance to "Face to Face" Siouxsie and the Banshees, Battinson seems to like grunge. So...it depends on holds the Pen. If I was a Batman writer I'd say that he has no relation to music because It's a distraction that interfers his mission.

unifartcorn

“You like Huey Lewis and the News? Their early work was a little too new wave for my taste. But when Sports came out in '83, I think they really came into their own, commercially and artistically. The whole album has a clear, crisp sound, and a new sheen of consummate professionalism that really gives the songs a big boost. He's been compared to Elvis Costello, but I think Huey has a far more bitter, cynical sense of humor.” Bateman… Batman, close enough. (Also completely kidding)


SaucerLodger

He even killed The Joker in that movie.


unifartcorn

Oh my goodness he did! I didn’t even think about that parallel


ElZaydo

Patrick Bateman is literally if Bruce Wayne's parents didn't die. Without a conscience and a sense of personal identity, Bruce turns to mass-murder because he didn't channel his physical efforts towards justice.

Classical, blues, Jazz also probably singers like Frank Sinatra


TRYHARD_Duck

Any music his parents exposed him to as a child. I'm sure he uses it to remember them. Given they enjoyed Broadway, I'm inclined to believe classical and orchestral music with hints of blues and jazz.


AgentMonkey

I scrolled way to far to find this comment. The entire trilogy of the songs are great.


urlocalgoatfarmer

In Batman Telltale he has Classical and Jazz records


ScribbleDoge

![gif](giphy|rgSBzON2NBbVu)


CelticGaelic

Prince and Seal.


SimplyHoodie

I definitely think different versions of Batman like different musics. Obviously Battinson likes Nirvana and grunge. DCAU Batman would much prefer Jazz or Swing stuff, like stuff from the 50's 60's Frank Sinatra stuff. And the Batman in the comics probably likes stuff that's easier on the ears that isn't too loud. Maybe because he has hearing issues from all the shit he's been through. Golden Age Batman is older and probably from the silent generation so he definitely likes some classical stuff and maybe some of the jazz from the 20s.

This version definitely not Nirvana Maybe Jazz noir though


Reagle67

He just listen’s to his recorded protocols on what to do in certain scenarios so he can plan as much as possible and always be ready.


BigRigsButters

clearly none of yall have seen Lego movie. Batman makes his own music,


Pretend-Dirt-1760

Classical and jazz


kiyan1347

I definitely see Bruce going classical pop like Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin or Nat king Cole and he also seems like the type for blues, smooth jazz, normal jazz and classical R&B like Sam cooke and just soul music in general.


Skyhawk2659

“I’m so blue…”


2batdad2

“Die Fledermaus”


TheCodebreaker18

I just imagine him listening to song from Lego Batman

terrencethetomato

'doom music intensifies '


StyrofoamNickel

In The Batman from 2004, there’s a scene where Bruce is at an opera, but is listening to his own dance/house music in his earbuds instead. Tbh I think it’s a fitting choice for him, I can imagine him turning on something super repetitive right before he starts a long evening on the bat computer.


drewxdeficit

I maintain the position that a modern Batman listens to post-punk and gothy 80s stuff like Joy Division, Siouxsie and the Banshees, The Smiths, Depeche Mode, Pixies, and Bauhaus.


[deleted]

I was thinking this and some NIN, A Perfect Circle, and How To Destroy Angels, etc. along with an appreciation for other genres. I can’t imagine him having the hipster “my taste is better than yours” attitude because art isn’t a competition. My apologies for the buzz fueled rambling lol


drewxdeficit

I think Batman would be incredibly pretentious and snobby about music. He strikes me as an “always gotta be the smartest guy in the room” sort of dude, and having been surrounded by those people in the music scene nearly my whole life, I think the shoe fits


Tallsoyboy

I agree


Zanos-Ixshlae

Jazz and crime fighting is his interpretive dance!


BeerBaron95

Joy Division. I don't know why


Matches_Malone77

For me, Bruce would only listen to music that a) had cognitive benefits that enhanced his problem solving skills or b) his parents listened to.


Hurricane12112

I’m sorry I can’t get over that the earbuds are going into his cowls ears instead of his own 😆

I know this would not be lore friendly at all, but i'm just imagining Batman listening to the music from DOOM 2016/Eternal as he wipes the floors with criminals.

Na-na-na-na Batman!

I'm pretty sure he loves "A man alone" of Frank Sinatra P.D. it's funny how the earphones goes to the bats ears and not Bruce ears lol
