(Original Song: Alexander Hamilton)

[Jason]
How does a bastard, orphan, son of a whore and an
American, dropped in the middle of a forgotten
Spot in the Gotham City, impoverished, in squalor
Grow up to be a hero and a vengeance seeker?

[Rachel]
The mad father without a father
Got a lot farther by working a lot harder
By being a lot smarter
By being a self-starter
By fourteen, they placed him in charge of S.T.A.R. Researchers.

[Alfred]
And every day while innocents were being slaughtered and carted
Away across the conscience, he struggled and kept his guard up
Inside, he was longing for something to be a part of
The monster was ready to beat, bash and pummel.

[The Joker]
Then a criminal came, and devastation reigned
Our man saw his future, so his passion came.
Dressed up like a bat, they thought he was insane,
He beat the evil man, made his crotch go aflame.

[Dr. Crane]
Well, the word got around, they said, "This guy is insane, man!"
Took up a collection just to send him back to Gotham,
"Get all your training don't forget from whence you came, and
The world's gonna know your ego. What's your ego, man?"

[Bruce Wayne]
I am the Goddamned Batman..
I am the Goddamned Batman...
I like beating criminals for fun...
So just you wait, just you wait...

[Harley:]
When he was eight his father perished, full of it, bed-ridden
Two years later, he sees his own company debt-ridden
Trained for years to come, his condition peaked, no longer weak.

[Everyone except The Batman(whispering):]
Became the third most dangerous man, and boy this guy's sick!

[Harvey:]
Moved in back to Gotham, a city commiting suicide,
Left him with nothin' but ruined pride, something new inside
A voice saying, "Bruce, you gotta beat them all yourself."
He started beatin' every criminal, if you're bad, you better ready yourself!

[Eddie]
There would've been nothin' left to do
For someone less astute
He would've been dead or destitute
Without a cent of restitution
Started workin', fightin' for his late father and the good lord
Tradin' billions of dollars in the Enterprises of Wayne, for all he can afford
(Breakin') for every criminal he can get his hands on
(Plannin' ) for the future see him now as he stands on (ooh...)
The bow of a ship headed for Gotham
Remember, this is the Goddamned Batman!

[Gordon (Everyone else):]
In Gotham you can (just you pray) be a new man
In Gotham you can (just you wait) be a new man
In Gotham (Across Metropolis) you can be a new man
[Women:] In Gotham
[Men:] Gotham
[Bruce:] Just you wait!

[All (Except Bruce):]
Oh, The Goddamned Batman (Vengeance's Wingman)
Gotham's waiting in the brinks for you (waiting in the brinks for you)
You could never back down
You'll take your on death on, stride!
Oh, The Goddamned Batman (Vengeance's Wingman)
Will the whole world even sing for you?
Will they know that you're not insane?
Will they know you're Bruce Wayne?
The world will never be the same, oh

[Thomas:]
The ship is in the harbor now
See if you can spot him ([Men:] Just you pray)
Another dark knight
Comin' up from the bottom ([Women:] Just you wait)
Lexcorp made him in-debt
The World, forgot him

[Alfred, Harvey, Eddie and Jason:]
We fought with him

[Thomas]
Me? I died for him

[Gordon:]
Me? I trusted him

[Rachel:]
Me? I loved him

[The Joker:]
And me? Hahahahha!!! We'll just see what I'll do to him...

[Bruce:]

I am Vengeance's Wingman

But just you wait!

[Jason:]
What's your ego, man?

[All:]
HE IS THE GODDAMNED BATMAN!!!!
