Batman: Objects In The Rearview Mirror

Objects In the Rearview Mirror (May Appear Closer than they are) performed by Meat Loaf, written by the amazing Jim Steinman. At one point he was going to write a Batman musical... a shame it never happened.

This Steinman song is one of my favourites, and I thought it fit in pretty well with Batman and the Robins relationships.

Enjoy.

Good video. Steinman can write great songs. (even if they CAN go on for over 10 minutes XD) But I couldn't help but notice this is the exact same melody from Dance of the Vampires (Or Tanz De Vampir) Is Steinman capable of writing more than 8 songs? XD

yeah, he's notorious for recycling his own music, a good majority of Tanz Der Vampire was based on music he'd previous written (some used, some not)

May I recommend the song "I would do Anything for Love (But I won't do that)." It's probably the best song on their 2nd Album. This song is their 2nd best on their 2nd album.

MEATLOAF ROCKS!

thanks, I agree, it's one of my favourite Meat Loaf/ Jim Steinman songs.

I like the idea of doing the song but I'm not really sure how to do it, I suppose I could do it between Batman and his various flings or even Dick and Babs...

Most excellent my friend. I'd like to see more Batman/Meat Loaf vids, as I'm a huge fan of both. I'd say use either "The Monster is Loose", "I'm Still Alive", "Life is a Lemon" or "It Just Won't Quit". Just suggestions. Keep up the great work.

I've actually got a more or less finished music vid of "Alive"... I just haven't uploaded it because it reuses a lot of the same scenes as the rest of my vids... so it gets a bit repetitive.

I'll have a look at it and perhaps upload it.

Thanks for the comment.

You did a fantastic job with this video!

Only Jim Steinman can write 10+ minute songs that seem short.... well, to me, anyways.

[spaceboychris]

thanks a lot... It wasn't until I'd finished doing it and sat through and watched it myself that I realised how long it was. I'm really glad you a) liked it and b) was able to sit through it :)

[spaceboychris]

thanks!

It's hard to say how long it took me exactly as I worked on an off for a few weeks. The longest part is ripping all of the video clips to use.

It's funny how well Meat Loaf's (Jim Steinman's) songs work with Batman...

Wow! I never thought I'd actually be able to sit through a 10 minute music video of ANYthing, but damn you pulled this off. It was like a trip down memory lane... rewatching all of those touching batman moments! I loved it! Awesome job on this!
