Bands as Batman: 'The Dark Knight' – Friday Fun

Timewasting fun on NME.COM

It's Friday once more, and today, in honour of the film that's sweeping the nation (and dominating office conversation) right now – 'The Dark Knight' – we're thinking of bands as Batman-related stuff to waste time until the pubs open.

Here are a few we've come up with so far:

Manfred Batman
Killing Joker
Fountains Of Bruce Wayne
Nick Batcave
Cat Power Woman
Batman For Lashes
Robyn
Cape Nash
Kaiser Chief O'Hara
