The Lyrics
This is both a Batman-oriented "filk" song and an argument in favor of choosing James "Jim" Carrey as Batman rather than, say, Christian Bale.
Riddle me this and I'll joke you that yeah yeah yeah yeah
James Carrey should have been the big black Bat yeah yeah yeah yeah
Now they've got Christian Bale wearing the cape yeah yeah yeah yeah
But if you ask me they made a really big mistake yeah yeah yeah yeah
You see Joel Schumacher did everything wrong yeah yeah yeah yeah
And he's the reason Bob Kane is dead and gone yeah yeah yeah yeah
Now Jimmy did you hear about this one
Tell me are you lost in the clutch
Jimmy are you goofing on Desi (hey LOOcy)
Are we losing touch
'Cause if you believe they put a Bat On The Moon
Bat On The Moon
Then you'll believe that Gotham City's the place
Where everyone's cruel
Michael Keaton was no Adam West yeah yeah yeah yeah
Wearing the costume put him to the test yeah yeah yeah yeah
He was known for getting laughs but he played it straight yeah yeah yeah yeah
And he pulled off Batman's compassion and hate yeah yeah yeah yeah
So Jimmy pay attention to this one
The Caped Crusader's under the gun
But if you go from zero to hero (SmmmOKin')
We can get it done
'Cause if you believe they put a Bat On The Moon
Bat On The Moon
Then you'll believe that Gotham City's the place
Where everyone's cruel
So here's a little protest of the Bat's betrayal yeah yeah yeah yeah
Here's a small plug for Carrey's sake yeah yeah yeah yeah
Here's a short petition meant for Time Warner yeah yeah yeah yeah
Mister Jimmy Carrey's gone into his cave yeah yeah yeah yeah
Now everybody's waiting for this one
So Batman can be edgy again
And though we promise not to form an obsession (CAAble guuyy)
Carrey is our friend
'Cause if you believe they put a Bat On The Moon
(If you believe they put a Bat On The Moon)
Bat On The Moon
Then you'll believe that Gotham City's the place
(Then you'll believe that Gotham City's cruel)
Where everyone's cruel
If you believe they put a Bat On The Moon
(If you believe they put a Bat On The Moon)
Bat On The Moon
Then you'll believe that Gotham City's the place
(Then you'll believe that Gotham City's cruel)
Where everyone's cruel

(If you believe they put a Bat On The Moon)
Bat On The Moon

Riddle me this: Who in their right mind would cast Jim Carrey as Batman? Well-paced, but otherwise a disaster.
Let me joke you that: No one took the idea of Michael Keaton as Batman seriously at first, either. Did he ever surprise the critics!
Similarly, James Carrey is physically a Bruce Wayne type and thus he would be PERFECT for the Batcostume.
I agree with you Parker. Similarily, I recall that Tim Burton wanted to do a Superman film with Nic Cage in it. That one was in development hell for quite a while and then after that I guess it didn't come to fruiation in the end. I also kinda agree on casting someone like Jim Carrey as Batman- after all Michael Keaton was a superb Batman much better than George Glooney was And on the subject of superheroes being played by comedians I think that Jerry Seinfeld would make a fabulous Superman- after all he's a really big fan of Superman. Here's a little interesting factoid for ya: Nic Cage's son is called Kal El which is Superman's real name.
Also a Crimson Chin movie would be amazing, I would love to see Jay Leno as the Crimson Chin in that film.
