The Batles were the first and most popular music group to consist entirely of superheroes. Founded in 1939, the band embraced a variety of styles, including classic rock (AKA "Golden Age"), space rock, go-go, "back to" roots rock, hardcore, and emo. Centered around the enigmatic vocalist and rhythm guitarist Batman, who now mostly records solo, the Batles survived numerous personal tragedies, deformed rival super-artists, and mysterious rays which transform people into human fish.
