The internet has permission to explode now. America’s favorite (fully grown) boy genius, Lin-Manuel Miranda, just tweeted about America’s saddest superhero.
YouTubers Turtle Cameron recently released a Batman/Hamilton parody called “Batlexander Manilton,” and it’s even better than it sounds. If you’re wondering – yes, a man in a Batman costume sings the lyric “Batlexander Manilton” in a sad, low croon. Yes, the Joker in this universe is Aaron Burr. Yes, you can add Commissioner Gordon to your list of Dads Who Remind Us of George Washington. It’s a 2016 miracle. We’ve been given 4 minutes and 21 seconds of perfectly timed and rhymed Batman lyrics set to the opening number from Hamilton.

Even if you don’t love Batman (or if you’re SO DONE with the franchise after Batman vs. Superman), you’ll still probably love this riveting and almost frighteningly well-performed rendition of his origin story. Why? Because he’s “the night stalker, Gotham guarder covered in armor.” Because, let’s be real, we’re both complete and utter Hamilton trash. #bat4ham
