Don't be discouraged by those who have never heard of rockabilly... they're not only missing out on the concept, they're missing out on an archetypal cool music genre. Got a batmobile for "Greased Lightning"? Sounds awesome.

The Gotham City Rockers have a Catwoman. And 30-odd other characters, too. We've even got a logo for t-shirts to raise money for the Parade. Can you tell I'm a little excited? Indeed!
