  [backup singing from various Arkham inmates] 

  Music Meister : Whether dancing the Batusi/Or using an array of tools/He's always got the answers/He makes us look like fools/He's got no superpowers/He's just a flying rat/It's a good thing we've got Arkham/'Cause he really drives us bats/World's greatest detective.
