What the [bleep] was that?
- I don't understand why I like this!
- I don't know what I just watched, but it was kind of beautiful.
♪ (punk rock music) ♪
- (Finebros) So had you ever seen those videos before?
- (laughing) No.
- No!
- Never in my life.
- No. I don't think I've been on that side of the internet.
- I've seen the first one before.
- Yes! Yes, I have. They're fantastic.
- The first one, yeah.
It changed my life.
- (Finebros) Did you enjoy them? - No!
- They objectified women, like, 10 times in this.
Why would I enjoy these?
- Vaguely, yeah.
- In an odd way, yes.
- If I say yes, does that make me twisted?
- The first time you watch it, it's entertaining.
The second time you're watching,
you're just like, "Why am I looking at this again?"
- There were so many references in there,
and Batman was so ridiculous
that it just made it overall amusing.
- (Finebros) What did you think of the animation quality?
- Animation quality was actually good, so I'll give them that.
- I liked it. It was dope.
- It was cute in a sadistic way.
- I liked how much effort they put into the jiggling parts.
- They actually did a really good job.
Everything else, though, no.
- (Finebros) So these songs were actually not even made
for this animation. - Stop.
- (Finebros) They were completely
separate song-- - Stop. Stop! No.
- So they were made, and someone animated to it?
- Oh. Oh, actually, that kinda makes sense.
The lyrics didn't actually--
they weren't really related to Batman.
- Guys are blowing my mind with this [bleep].
Every time I come here, I feel like I realize life.
- (Finebros) So you have any idea
where the songs originally come from? - No.
- No.
- Ugh, god. I have no idea.
- (Finebros) So they come from a band called Dethklok...
- Dethklok? That seems like a very metal name.
- I've never heard of them.
- (Finebros) ...which is part of a TV series called Metalocalypse
on Adult Swim. - Metalocalypse. That sounds fun.
- I remember watching Metalocalypse on Adult Swim.
I'm like, "Why does this sound familiar?"
- I've not seen the show, but I know it's, like, my type of show.
So I guess I should get on that.
- (Finebros) What do you think about
how somebody heard those songs that had nothing to do with Batman
and then came up with this?
- That takes some creative skill that I do not have.
- They put quite a bit of effort into this.
Like, I give them applause for that.
- That's actually pretty clever.
I'm very conflicted about this.
It's very well done, and I think it's really clever.
And I can see that they put a lot of effort and time into it.
But it's just horrible.
- (Finebros) So this is called "Batmetal" and "Batmetal Returns."
- Oh god.
- "Batmetal"? That's a great name.
- (Finebros) So the first one came out in 2014
and has over 10 million views. - Really?
- Where have I been?
- (Finebros) The second one came out recently
and has about 8 million views.
What are the elements that make this so popular?
- Okay, it's the internet. People love Batman.
People love dumb stuff. You put it together.
- It is very well done. You can't deny that.
And I do think that there is that shock element to it.
- We got gore, check; sexual tendencies, check;
massive cleavage, check.
- People love animation.
Mixing that with heavy metal music
and then putting in a bunch of superhero references
just made it popular with all sorts of demographics.
- (Finebros) Do you think it's okay to make things like this
that utilize beloved characters in ways the original creators
would not have wanted them to be portrayed?
- Yeah. Why not? Like, have fun with it.
- I think it's okay because it's used in a parody sense.
- People should have the right to be creative.
- I think it's rude.
What if I made SpongeBob and then I see you killing him?
I'm gonna be a little hurt about it.
- It's the internet. That's it.
My answer is the internet. You do what you want.
- (Finebros) So finally, do you hope to see more of Batmetal?
- No. (chuckles)
- I won't see it.
But if everyone else wants to watch it, go for it.
- I would watch it, but then I would regret it.
- Of course I would.
- Yeah, I'm down.
- Yes.
- Yes, I would enjoy another one.
I would've never ever in a billion years
expected something like this.
