This isn't even close.

On the one hand you've got one of the most andrenaline pumping, driving tunes in tv history on the other you have a theme tune that somehow became a mainstay of pop-culture despite being pretty damned terrible.

You know the pop songs that stick in your head even though you hate them... yeah, this Batman tune is that.

Actually like the Thundercats theme and those opening credits are nicely put together. But the Batman theme is iconic. Can see it going far in this thing.

I was one of those two - and I'll say this: just because the Batman tune is instantly recognisable and sticks in your head doesn't make it good. Those things can happen for the wrong reasons too.

If we're ranking these things as songs or tunes, which is what we're supposed to be doing, then the batman tune is a repetative drone with nothing good to be said about it other than "I recognise that".

The Thundercats tune is fast paced and gets the adrenaline going, which given that the show was essentially an advert for a toyline, is exactly what it's supposed to do.
