I know. It would have been so much easier not to have to live up to the Bat name, when Jim wasn't involved. But I suppose they couldn't change it. It was too far gone at that stage.

I think all those songs would have been perfect for Meat and Bat 3. These songs matched his age. There was a vulnerability in these songs that was very moving for me. "Still the children" and "Who needs the young?" belong in the Bat universe as far as I am concerned.
