Now before everyone gets up in arms about this not being a real scoop, understand it's just a connection I came across while trying (like everyone else I'm sure) to find any mention of Miranda Tate in Batman comics.
Adam West a la William Shatner or Leonard Nimoy also released music back in the days at the height of his popularity and one of the songs was "Miranda".
Is it possible that Nolan used inspiration from the song to create a brand new character for his movie? Probably not, but who knows what goes on in that man’s brain...lol...anyway I thought this would be amusing if nothing else.
Here’s a video of the song “Miranda” by Adam West.
For those who cannot watch the video, below are the lyrics to the song. Enjoy!

NARRATOR: Will tonight be the night that Bruce reveals himself to...
THE MAGNIFICENT MIRANDA?
BRUCE:
I never met a girl like you before, Miranda. (Miranda)
And I'd do anything for you if you'd just ask. (Miranda)
(Spoken)
Ask me to do ANYTHING for you, Miranda.
(Sung)
But please don't ask me to remove my mask!
(Spoken)
It's against the code of heroes.
But you know how much I love you, darling. So . . . come into my cape?
Boy Genius, what are you doing here?
BOY GENIUS:
Bruce! Come right away! There's a job to be done!
A giant octopus has run amok in Washington!
BRUCE:
Hm. Boy Genius, this is one time you'll have to go it alone.
(Sung)
Would you like to see me make my muscles dance, Miranda? (Miranda)
For someone powerful as me, It's no big task. (Miranda)
(Spoken)
Ask me to do ANYTHING for you, Miranda.
(Sung)
But please don't ask me to remove my mask!
(Spoken)
It's attached to my special super thermal b-nuclear long underwear.
But don't think I've forgotten my promise.
Tonight, I'm going to kiss you . . . mmhm . . . *groan*
BOY GENIUS:
Bruce! Something terrible has happened!
Mister AC/DC, the Electric Brain has threatened to turn off the electric current all over the . . . (Silence)
See what I mean?
BRUCE:
Holy Sherlock Holmes, Boy Genius! You're becoming a real stick-in-the-mud!
You'd better zoom-zoom right out of here!
(Sung)
Oh, I can see the hurt look on your face, Miranda. (Miranda)
So I'm gonna do the little thing you ask. (Miranda)
(Spoken)
Come take a peek, a teeny weeny peek, Miranda.
(Sung)
Get ready now while I remove my mask!
(Spoken)
There, darling. What do you think?
MIRANDA:
Oh, please. Put it back.
BRUCE:
DRAT!
(Sung)
I never met a girl like you before, Miranda. (Miranda)
And I'd do anything for you if you'd just ask. (Miranda)
(Fades out)
So there you go fandom, the Miranda mystery has been solved!...You're welcome...LOL
