''Holy Musical B@man!'' is a parody musical based upon [[DC Universe|DC Universe's]] [[Batman]] comic books, as well as the [[Batman (1989 film)|1989 film]] and 2008's [[The Dark Knight (film)|''The Dark Knight'']]. The name "Holy Musical B@man!" is a reference to the 1960s television series, ''[[Batman (TV series)|Batman]]'' with [[Adam West]] and [[Burt Ward]]. Robin (Burt Ward) would often make a pun related to the related conflict by saying [["Holy..."]] which gave inspiration to the play's name. After the brutal murder of his parents, [[Bruce Wayne]] commits his life to waging a one-man war on crime. But when he realizes that life isn't fun when you're alone, he sets out to find a super friend.

The musical was performed March 22–25, 2012, at the Hoover-Leppen Theatre in [[Chicago]], [[Illinois]]. It was produced by [[StarKid Productions]] and directed by Matt Lang. The musical stars an [[ensemble cast]] featuring Joe Walker as the Batman, and Nick Lang as his sidekick [[Robin (comics)|Robin]]. The group put the entire musical up on [[YouTube]] on April 13, 2012.
