This is the follow up to the song Aquaman's Lament that I wrote with Michael Lille. I had to give Batman his fair say.

lyrics

Sitting in the Hall of Justice Where there is justice after all
Aquaman has got to trust us You hold the fort, we’ll take the call

It isn’t that we don’t respect him and all of his aquatic friends
I’m sick of having to protect him His ego’s given me the bends

I can take you to my manor Gotham’s got a lot to give
While he is all washed up, but tanner And a bit competitive

This thought might grab your attention You know I’m twice a billionaire
And all that free seafood he mentioned, I think I’ve got enough to spare
Barring Maritime disasters, Aquaman is such a tool
He couldn’t get you wetter faster with a sex toy and a pool

Yeah, I could take you to the Bat Cave It’s not Atlantis, but it’s dry
Whenever you are in a close shave would you rather swim or fly
And if you see it with objective Of the heroes that you’ve seen
Arthur’s lost perspective Orange doesn’t go with green?

I can understand, what you see in the man, Yeah we all like a swimmer’s build
But that guys got a wife and kids and always smells like mildew
How could you ever be fulfilled

I can take you to the Bat Cave It’s not Atlantis, but it’s dry
Behind this cowl cape and dance craze I’m just another gorgeous guy
So Vicci Vale make your decision if you prefer blondes or brunettes
What kind of life do you envision Everything’s not better wet.

Michael Lille wrote the music with me when I wrote Aquaman's Lament, so he deserves ample credit for his part in the follow up.
