Yes, hello, I am writing to you from the grave because I just finished watching "Batlexander Manilton," a Hamilton and Batman crossover that gave me so much life that I died from it. Just in case you weren't so consumed by your everlasting love for Lin Manuel-Miranda and his insane writing ability that your nerdy little heart is bursting in your chest, prepare to get #wrecked by this latest parody by Turtle Cameron. In the words of our Founding Fathers, "I can't even right now."
The title sequence opens with the same gravitas as Hamilton, except instead of Aaron Burr rapping we have, of course, the Joker. It only gets more ridonk from there, with all the characters you know and fear/love coming out of the shadows to sing the opening. Either fortunately or unfortunately, you're going to have the line "My name is Batlexander Manilton, my name is Batlexander Manilton, but if I'm ever asked by anyone — just Bruce Wayne, just Bruce Wayne" stuck in your head probably until you croak.
The convergence of these two fandoms makes no sense in that it somehow makes all the sense in the world. I can literally feel my dorky heart pounding out of my EARS right now with excitement. Can we commission an entire musical parody of this, please?
In the meantime, if anybody needs me, I'll be watching this 16,000 more times. And when that's done I'll get right back to being the #HamTrash I have been since ... JK, I can't even remember what my life was like before Hamilton. That was a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away, nerds.
