yeah for me it was between Supes and Conan, but the Superman has more of a way of giving you goose bumps when thinking about seeing the movie as a kid and what it did for you.

The Conan score is great too!!

You've summed it up perfectly. For me it was between Superman and Batman, but I think Superman wins it, because Batman Forever and Batman & Robin weren't done by Elfman, and it shows.:supes:

It's between Superman and Batman. John Williams' score was magical, heroic and epic. Danny Elfman's was dark, tragic, and poetic.

Nothing has really topped Superman yet. It is a call to heroism unlike any other superhero movie theme ever made. It's anthemic and uplifting. Batman is a really good one, but still depressing. The Spider-Man score starts off amazing but then takes a lame turn into Batman territory which doesn't fit the webslinger at all.

I think Batman's score is the most influential and the best concieved.

Superman's will always be the theme we remember when we think about the superhero, but Elfman's score is the more dramatic, emotional piece.

Also, Sin City's music captured the feel of the comics near perfectly.

Elfman's score to Batman. That score was so good, it was used in the animated series. It will be forever ingrained in my mind as the definitive Batman song.

uh you forgot the masterful FLASH theme... that beats the living hell out of spidey, Daredevil, Punisher, Sin City, Hellboy and Michael Kamen's retarded score for X-men

I loved the music for the first X-Men film. Even though they should have bought in the 90s animated series theme, just for a laugh!

I agree completely. Both my favorite composers.

There are lots of great scores up there, but let's be honest...the Superman score has become part of the public conscious much like the Star Wars score.

I don't even know who composed the Blade score. When I think of Blade, I think of the song "Confusion"; which plays when Traci Lords & her intended victim enter the club.

Agreed, the Conan score is epic but the Superman score just makes you feel good.
Ultimate_Superman
05-08-2006, 01:20 PM
Yea I agree with you but I wish I could have picked 2 because Conan with only 1 vote is unfair it is so much better then X-Men, Blade, Spider-Man, only other movie theme I would put above it was Batman 89 and really I wouldnt put it above it but say their a tie

I know originally they wanted it to be sung, but I didn't think they ever recorded it.

I was just reading over this thread, what a perfectly worded post. I know it's sounds cliche, but I could not have said it better myself.

My wife said the same exact thing and I didn't believe her. She said there were excerpts of Margot Kidder in the song from that scene and I told her she was crazy. I guess I was wrong.

It was recorded; though not by Kidder, obviously. They played it on the radio often.

And if you don't mind me asking, how old is your wife?
And did you tell her she's been vindicated?

My wife is only 27, but she has an old(er) soul. She could definately be a contestant on musical Jeopardy. As far as vindication, let's just say I'm taking her to a nice Italian restaurant tonight.
