For some reason the ending line “City of Gotham, please don’t cry, this isn’t goodnight, this is only goodbye” seriously reminded me of when Riddler says “If I am justice, please don’t lie. What is the price of your blind eye?” in the movie.

Alright, let's do this. It's suggested that the rap is directed at Batman, and Riddler says "you're the answer to my Riddle." That tells us that the answer to the riddle could be "Batman," and this would line up with the answer being a singular noun with two syllables. However, we're also given hints about the answer that make it seem like it's not a person at all, but an abstract concept. "A vigilante could live off of it as if it were food," "believing you are the hero is what it tricks you into," "finish a job that the law didn't do," "It can be deadly as it festers, if you're letting it stew." And yet, at other times, it's suggested that it is a person we're looking for: "it puts on a mask same as any criminal," "this mystery isn't a 'what,' it's a question of 'who.'" We know it's not "justice," as the word appears in the rap, although we're told that it also has a connection to the person the rap is actually from the POV of: So Riddler himself, then. The biggest clue is the first and last lines of the chorus: "What's making the knight so dark?" and "What's blinder than justice, rabid as a bat?" I ask you, what singular noun with two syllables could you use as a name for Batman, but is also an abstract concept that fits all those qualifiers? Simple. "I'm Vengeance."

I really like the line "What's blinder than justice, [a bat]." But while Justice is usually blind, and fits with the whole justice league, batman motif. Vengeance is also blind, and fits more directly with this movie in particular. i.e. Batman is blind vengeance and blind as a bat.

@sourwitch2340

3 ай бұрын

"What's blinder than justice, rabid as a bat?" is the line and hate can't be the answer - anger could be but it feels far less satisfying than any other answer I do think vengeance is the most fitting answer and, furthermore, I think direct references to Batman, but the word vengeance, not showing up Points to this fact, especially since the murky difference between being the riddle And acting on the riddle or being fueled by it is a central part of the whole thing When there is the line "It's not a question of what, it's a question of who" is in verse 1, Yet the Riddler continues speaking of an "it" and putting it in situations that, frankly, I don't think even work if the it was a who, not even in metaphor? But if the answer to the riddle is BOTH a who and a what? It all falls into place

I genuinely think these are the cleverest lyrics I’ve ever heard from you. 100% something the riddler would make.

Arguably the riddler would be incredible at rapping. Riddles often have a slight ruthenium and rhyme to them that could easily transfer.

Those lyrics tho. " Believing you are the hero is what it tricks you into, cuz when you lie to yourself enough isn't it true?" Dam.

I really like this rendition of the riddler... He's more dark and closer to the joker in the fact he attempts to attack corruption with... Well terrorisim. Plus he reminds me of jigsaw

I'll be honest, coming into this I didn't think I'd enjoy the song given the subject. But damn if JT didn't knock it out again. They can make a banger out of just about anything at this point. Keep it up you musical maniacs.

I believe even the riddler himself would love and appreciate how much you capture his way of thinking

Loved the Riddler. Literally tricked Batman into doing his dirty work.

The only dude who could do a good Riddler and Joker while doing a major banger.

This is best rap you have made in a while and that’s saying something cus their all so good 😁

The rap captured riddler so easily. Lyrics fit his character

This song is perfect in tone,lyrics,and riddles

This is literally the perfect Batman movie rap, slick rhymes, accurate riddler acting and energy and the accuracy of how Batman thinks and acts in the movie. Amazing work once again jt music you never disappoint.

This sounds like the type of song the Riddler would sing just before flooding Gotham.

Very well done. You manage to not only tell an effective story, but you grapple with the ethical morality of what Batman deals with compared with his villainous counterparts. Listening to your lyrics is not only pleasing, but it makes the listener's mind work at the same time.

the song captured and explained Riddler's energy in five words, ruthless, violent, determined, sadistic and amoral

In some sequel installment when they make a "suit up" scene they should use this rap. They already did that with deadpool, this is awesome.

Music is great as per but the video is _amazing_ with how it does so much with so little live action footage. Skull’s expressions are also just on point for then.
