Batman vs Sherlock Holmes Demo + New Upload Date!

We have raided the ERB vault and found a real treat for you.

Most of this early Batman versus Sherlock Holmes demo got scrapped. Me and Zach put it together very early just to get the ball rolling on the song, which we thought would be really difficult because Batman was super popular at the time and it was in the height of the Sherlock Holmes movies as well.

We had originally thoug...

Joan Rivers Demo

Ahead of the Comedians shoot Peter put together a demo of the Joan Rivers verse along with a idea of what the Cosby bit would sound like. 

You'll note one of the lines was actually changed in the final version of the battle - based on ideas that they came across in the writers room Discord channels. Good work people! ;o)
