"Batbaby" is the sixth single by comedy band The Superions, a side project of Fred Schneider of The B-52s. The single was released on September 13, 2011 as a digital download on the Batbaby EP.
The Batbaby EP also features remixes by DJ Beekeeni, DJ Butterface, Phylr and Umpff. In an interview with Atlanta magazine, Schneider attempted to explain his lyrical inspiration: "Oh, I don't know. Some songwriters come up with incredibly smart commercial things and I come up with 'Batbaby'."

Production
A music video was filmed in Winter Park and Orlando, Florida on October 10, 2011 (Ed Wood's birthday). The mini-movie video is sort of an homage to the beatnik/horror mashup genre of the ’60s. It is a 10-minute music video that merges film-making with music, similar to Michael Jackson's Thriller. The video debuted on YouTube on October 19, 2011 and the following day on the WOW Report James St. James declared Batbaby "an instant Halloween classic."
