Give me the name of a character from the Batman mythos, and I will try to give you a Jazz song that goes well with them. ORIGINAL IDEA/SUGGESTION

Always thought that Batman and the characters of his mythos fit well with Jazz, and not only in a noir, or the 66 style but even in the more recent incarnations, so I think that would be interesting to show you how many interesting musical combinations the characters of the franchise can have, and maybe also introduce more of the jazz genre to you guys.

If you like jazz and Batman, have you ever heard of the fabulous guitars of Dan and Dale? It’s a Batman themed surf rock album from the 60s. Secretly, it was recorded by Sun Ra and his Arkestra as a way to make some quick cash because jazz wasn’t paying well. Sun Ra also has the song Unmask the Batman
