This is metal.
No, not because it's a Dark Knight and it's Batman (well partly).
But because it has two characteristics that makes it metal.
Characteristic 1
It's how it moves.
2 along then 1 at 90 degrees.
If you're a guitarist you'll get this if not then prepare for metal 1-0-1.
Metallurgy: The Science of Metal!!!
Take any note on the low E string of a guitar (or B string if you're a 7 stringer).
We'll use the 2nd fret on the E string (F#).
Place your index finger on that note.
Now look up 2 frets and then look at the note on the next string up, the A string. That note is C#.
Put your pinky or 3rd finger on that note.
Whack up some distortion.
Plays these note together.
That's an F# power chord (Example 1) right there. You've just done gone and did metal.
example 1 (rendered as photo real in MS Paint)
Keep your your hand roughly in that position and move up 1 fret to G. Your other finger is now on the 5th fret of the A string and that's a D.
Play those 2 notes together, that's a G power chord.
Pick a note, up 2 down 1.
METAAAAAL!
Now just play the open E string and the 2nd fret on the A string with your index finger.
That is E5.
Metallica, Megadeth, Pantera, Slayer, Black Sabbath made a killing out of that chord.
These 2 notes are the root and the 5th of the E minor scale. Which is the relative minor scale of G major theory fans.
Characteristic 2:
Vengers horse.
Venger and his flying demon horse are awesome.
This is a fact.
Venger is voiced by Peter Cullen.
Peter Cullen is Optimus Prime.
Optimus Prime is metal!
Peter Cullen is Metal!
Venger is METAL!!!
VENGERS BLACK, FLYING, DEMON HORSE IS METAAAAAL!!!!!!
Using science to prove this:
= \m/
The next time you play chess and someone moves their knight remember:
Optimus Prime plays power chords from Vengers horses ass.
This is where Doom comes from.
That's why it's awesome.
Also, Batman.
BE TOLD!!!!
