Kirk Hammett has admitted that Metallica did indeed pay tribute to the theme song of the 1960s Batman TV show for one of the songs on 72 Seasons.

Hammett admitted, "That’s really funny, because we called that riff ‘The Batman Riff’, and I know exactly what you are talking about." Read the full story HERE.
