Batman & Robin & Gilbert & Sullivan


Panels from "The Case Batman Failed To Solve!!!" in Batman v.1 #14 (December 1942-January 1943), script by Don Cameron, pencils and inks by Jerry Robinson, letters by George Roussos



By popular request, here's the alt-text:

I am the very model of a Gotham City crimefighter
I try to make the hope of common people in the town lighter
Let's go! Atomic batteries to power! Turbines up to speed!
I'll put you behind bars for every felony and crooked deed!
With crooks like these behind jail bars you'll soon see Gotham's crimes decreased
I fight Two-Face, the Penguin, Doctor Hugo Strange and KGBeast
Professor Pyg and Ra's a Ghul (that's Arabic for Demon's Head)

(long pause)

I do this every night because a bad guy shot my parents dead!

(He does this every night because a bad guy shot his parents dead)
(He does this every night because a bad guy shot his parents dead)
(He does this every night because a bad guy shot his parents dead!)

Unfortunately, your amazing parody in the picture-cursor-text-thingy cut itself off.
In the hopes that you post the whole thing (because it's ace) I will place this comment here.
