Holy sea-going mammals, Batman! It turns out that dolphins not only can communicate with humans but can actually learn how to sing a song, at least enough to utter part of a theme from a '60s TV comic book satire.

"Scientists have taught dolphins to combine both rhythm and vocalisations to produce music, resulting in an extremely high-pitched, short version of the Batman theme song," according to Discovery News.

Let's hope that the Pentagon isn't using this theme song in preparation for something more serious.
