No, if it existed Jim would have had TDE singing it when he was deperate for new material. God has Left the Building which version? The instrumental which was just recycled bits or the bit that was Total Eclipse's music with Adapted Kunze lyrics? It didn't exist for 14 years. And Jim gave up the title when he allowed Meat to steal it without a fight. There never was a Bt 3 concept in Jim's Head. Just as there wasn't really a Bat 2 concept. Jim's only real Bat concept is Neverland. All the Bat albums are just Jim throwing together whatever songs he's had written at the moment. Thus the fact that Bat 1 was recycled from the Neverland musical, Bat 2 was recycled from BFG and PB, Bat 3 was recycled from any Jim songs Meat could get his hands on and if TDE had gone through it would have been recycled from any songs Jim had written Pre-stroke that he hadn't used, whether they were recycled from Batman, DOTV or other sources. Jim's most original albums were Dead Ringer (except More Than You Deserve), and BFG (except for the DIMP title... and who knows how much of the song was recycled from Neverland.)

Jim doesn't really ever write original albums or musicals. His entire careerer is recycling what he has written before. Doesn't make it all bad... just have to realize that he doesn't have ideas that form cohesive projects that he works to fulfill. Tanz was all recycled material. Neverland had bits recycled from previous works like Confidence Man and More Than Your Deserve and it was just really a recycled or refined version of The Dream Engine. And now the BOOH musical is going to recycle Batman songs....

No Bat projects has been part of some grand trilogy Jim envisioned from the begining and had fully formed. It was just whatever Jim had written previously that he could recycle mixed with new songs that didn't fit any overall vision. Bat one was 3 songs from Neverland another that was envisioned from Neverland and three new songs that had nothing to do with Neverland... Bat 2 was basically the same thing...
