Phoenix, for the Robins rising and falling alongside Batman.

King and Lionheart for Tim and his loyalty, even after the world falls apart.

Silhouettes, more Robins rising and falling alongside Batman and haunting him and Gotham for good measure.

My Songs Know What You Did in the Dark, which is just, somehow, very Selina-coded for me, especially during a downturn in her and Bruce's relationship.

Team, for the Bats and Birds, of course, but even more for Gotham itself and the Gothamites.

Bohemian Rhapsody, this was actually my little sister's suggestion. I got her into the Robins, and she brought it to me one day like, "Isn't this just Jason's story, before, during, and after his murder?" and she was right.

Somebody that I Used to Know, Tim and Steph, during that downturn in their relationship. This one gives me such feels that I'm possibly planning an animatic for it. I can just hear them singing back and forth in this.

Stitches, I know this is very clearly a romantic song, but I love to ignore that and make it about Bruce's failure to be a mentor to Stephanie. The minute he fully cast her off, she died. And just this song fits her only wanting someone to help her help others and getting spurned at every turn by the people that should have been that support.

Warriors, that Bats and the Birds. Gotham is their city, and they all picked that as children, knowing what they'd become.
