A couple of months ago, the geniuses behind the Harry Potter parody "A Very Potter Musical" announced they were beginning work on a Batman rock opera entitled "Holy Musical, B@man!"

This is act 1, part 1 of that rock opera, and it is every bit as awesome as expected.

Here's the official synopsis:

It's time for crime-fighting shenanigans with everyone's second favorite superhero (right after Spider-Man). After witnessing the murder of his parents, a young billionaire makes a solemn vow to dress up like a bat and wage a one-man war on the rouges of Gotham. So get ready to see the Dark Knight the way you always dreamed of... singing and dancing!

How does a bat become a man? Why does he have such a strong sense of justice? Does he want fruit, or blood? These, and other questions you never asked, are answered in "Holy Musical, B@man!"
