This week has already seen an incredible ancient Mayan-inspired Batman suit and a somewhat-disturbing supercut of all of Thomas and Martha Wayne's onscreen deaths, so it's perhaps only fitting that we close it out with something else Dark Knight-related: "Batman Evolution," an arrangement of the live-action television and movie themes, performed on piano and cello -- actually, 100 tracks of cello -- by The Piano Guys.

While the music would be satisfying on its own, as you can see below there's a beautifully shot video that prominently features the appropriate Batmobile for each of the themes (Neal Hefti's 1966 "Batman Theme," Danny Elfman's 1989 "The Batman Theme," and Hans Zimmer's 2008 "Like a Dog Chasing Cars"). You may also notice how the cinematography and screen dimensions shift from theme to theme, reflecting each adaptation.

"We love super heroes, the dramatic music that has brought them to life, and the vivid films that have made them legends," The Piano Guys state. "We used piano, cello, handheld cameras, a radio controlled helicopter, and some scrappy special effect techniques in the most creative ways possible to emulate the three epic eras of one of the greatest super heroes ever created: BATMAN!"
