Brilliant way of putting it! > > I think had Jim been in control, it would have been > another story, it would have been better then the version > we ended up getting I know that for sure. Picture TMIL like LA in T2. Then picture Jim's Bat 3 like the nuclear bomb. In my mind, it would have completely wiped it out, even if the songs weren't all that great (And I think the new songs are just as great as the old ones.) > > It's all coming back had no business being on the album > and shouldn't have been on there. It could have been on Bat 2, and I think it was supposed to have been. But then Jim wrote another duet (There were 3 duets on TMIL. It only needed one.)

In my mind, it actually sounds like it could have worked in "Batman", with Meat as the Joker. Future could have been interesting, but I think > Pandora's Box version of it is perfect and doesn't need > adding too to be honest. Yup. "Original sin" has the best version. "Wuthering Heights" is nice because it's just the piano (from the original version as well) and the singer. I know there are people who really like the Patti Russo version but I didn't think much of it. > > Body I think would have been a nice addition to the album, > as Jim's songs go, its got it all, great lyrics and > compelling story behind it. I think it could have been the AFL of Bat 3. And "Still the Children" would have been the Objects/FCOL. I dont quite think we've heard > what the song really is yet, if that makes sense.

Yup. If it was Meat, the band, and maybe orchestrations from Steve Margoshes, again, picture LA in T2... ;-) > > I think Not Allowed to Love would have worked great as a > duet for Meat and Patti in my opinion, the duets on past > Bat albums have all been loud declarations of love, hate, > anger.

I told a friend of mine that I think it's one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard, and she heard it, and didn't think much of it. But it really touched me, and it still does, and I think it would have been an amazing Bat 3 moment. > > Having a reprise of For Crying Out Loud like the one from > Kid Champion demo would have been a fucking epic EPIC!!!! > way to end the Bat Out of Hell franchise with.
