ESQ's David Beard interviews Jan & Dean's Dean Torrence on the Batman Album

 
Why did the two of you decide to record “Batman”?
 
Dean: As I remember, we were kind of privy to that Screen Gems had Batman in the works. We found out what the show was going to be like. We were told that the concept was slapstick.

We recognized — even without seeing it — that it would be right up our alley. It’s something that we would have done, had Jan and I been television producers. Since we were just musicians, we thought we could at least do the musical entity of Batman since we had the feeling that no one else would do it. Knowing the music industry, they would put a soundtrack out with just the different instrumental themes.
It was — more or less — something that we were pretty sure that we were going to appreciate. It’s obviously comedy, slapstick, and it’s obviously pop-art. We could see that whole pop-art thing coming and we figured, let’s be a part of that. >>>
