When Batman listens to the Beatles' WHITE ALBUM...

[Buried Alien]

...do you think he starts beating up the record player and demanding, "WHY DID YOU SAY THAT NAME?!" when he gets to "Martha, My Dear?"

Batman wouldn't listen to the Beatles. Everyone knows he hates Rock and Roll.

Opera for snooty aristocrat Bruce Wayne.

Ya, Batman is a dubstep guy.

'Scuse me for being behind the times, but what is dubstep?

He may have overheard it when one of the Robins was playing it, or as part of a case...

That was a favorite issue. Were those Irv Novick or Dick Giordano pencils? I've got that issue somewhere in the archives . . .

Batman's secretly a huge fan of mumble rap

Hm. Bruce plays side one of record one and is shook up by John singing "Happiness is a Warm Gun." Then he turns over the record to play side two and as the needle rides along the groove, he hears Paul singing "Martha my dear though I spend my days in conversation please remember me . . ." He sighs, but he doesn't get angry, because he knows that Paul was singing to his dog and not his mom. Paul's mom was Mary and she died when Paul was fourteen (he sings about her on "Let It Be"). John's mom was Julia and she died when he was seventeen (he sings about her on "Julia," which is the last track on record one, side two, of the White Album).

I haven't seen a lot of evidence that Bruce has any interest in anything beyond fighting crime.

Did Jones *ever* explain or offer a rationalization for this when or after Batman: Fortunate Son was released? Like, EVER?

[Embryonic Superman]

The real question is, what does the White Album look like in the New 52/DC Rebirth continuity? Because the lyrics of The Continuing Story of Bungalow Bill simply don't work in a world where Billy Batson was always "Shazam"...

Record player? Are cd players still too expensive for him?

No idea, I think it's so hilarious though.
