BEST Batman Soundtrack Ever

[The-Dark-Knight]

Its as simple as that, and also what was in your opinion the best track.

Its as simple as that, and also what was in your opinion the best track.

For Batman & Robin, there are two soundtracks; actual score by Elliot Goldenthal, and 'music inspired by' which includes the wonderful Jewel track Foolish Games, which I seem to be the only person on the planet who has heard.

Batman 89 by Danny Elfman is amazing, the best film score in history for me. It still has so much impact to this day.

 

[El Payaso]

Batman 89 by Elfman, no contest here.

 

[Bat Attack]

Danny Elfman's Batman score.

 

[Catman]

The ELF-Man!

 

[Bat Attack]

Keebler Elf. :heart:

 

[union_jak]

It was between B89 (mainly because of the Descent Into Mystery track), or Batman Returns (mainly because of Birth of a Penguin).

I went with BR.

 

[Mister J]

Elfman's first offering on Batman, hands down. I love Descent Into Mystery and the pieces for the Batmobile and Batwing sequences. The finale music with Batman perched on top of the structure, looking at the Bat-signal is incredible.

All in all, it's very smurfy.

 

[union_jak]

I think it's Attack of the Batwing or something with a really powerful bell clanging towards the end. I like that.

In fact, the trailer to Batman Retuns combines both Descent Into Mystery and Attack of the Batwing as the music, I love that trailer largely because of the music.

 

[Mister J]

Attack of the Batwing and Charge of the Batmobile. I knew the names beforehand. I was just trying to keep somewhat of a lid on my fanaticism for this score. t:

 

[Two-Face]

Batman Score by Danny Elfman is the best, "Batman Theme" and Charge Of "The Batmobile" are my favourite tracks. Tho BB soundtrack is second for me, hopefully HZ & JHN will improve the music for TDK.

 

[Bat Attack]

Amen to that Two-Face!

 

[dude stannis]

Batman. The only thing wrong with it is "Descent into Mystery" was too short!

 

[Bat Attack]

"Descent into Mystery" made the entire scene with the Batmobile.

 

[Lienlien]

Can we include Mask Of The Phantasm in this? Shirley Walker did a sound job on that (RIP).

I love both elfman scores entirely so there is no best cue for me. I wish the whole score for both movies were on the CD. Hopefully in the future they'll release them to there entirety. Same goes for Phantasm as well. I don't have the (underrated) Goldenthal score for Forever. Hopefully I'll find it someday along with Dick tracy, Darkman, Robocop 2, Alien 3 and a whole bunch of other amazing scores I don't have yet.

The Best Batman scores in order from GREAT to least.
1. Batman/Batman Returns (Danny Elfman)
2. Batman Mask of the Phantasm (Shirley Walker)
3. Batman Forever (Elliot Goldenthal)








4. Batman Begins (Hans Zimmer and James Newton Howard) Zimmer was the reason why the score was 4th not Howard. The score was average.The score can't touch the last two spiderman movies or superman Returns IMO.
The only way TDK score will improve is definitely without Zimmer but with Howard composing ALONE. The last MASTERPIECE Zimmer composed was seven years ago and the movie was called Gladiator. No offense Zimmer fans.

 

[Dan33977]

I voted for Danny Elfman's BATMAN RETURNS score.

 

[Bat Attack]

Mask of The Phantasm's score is my second fave. I love love love love love Shirley Walkers work on that film and BTAS. She was so awesome. (R.I.P.)

 

[Two-Face]

RIP Shirley Walker, sadly missed.

 

[Rockbottom]

I agree, Shirley Walks MOTP score was brillent.

 

[El Payaso]

Walker did an Elfman variation. Not that it's bad but...

Nonsense good friend, to this day I still listen to that song, along with Smashing Pumpkins "The End Is The Beginning Is The End." Those are great songs along with Seal and U2's contributions to the BF soundtrack.

It's too bad they never released Goldenthal's score for B&R because I thought he improved on some aspects of his score from Forever.

I actually have both those movie soundtracks in my car right now.lol. I was wanting to listen the above mentioned songs along with "Hold me, thrill me, kiss me, kill me". I also thought Goldenthal had some interesting changes on the B&R score, I thought I was the only one that noticed. There was a score released for B&R, however it was only available overseas for some odd reason. However, I have never been able to confirm if it was an actual licensed release or a type of bootleg.


On topic tho, defintely Elfmans 89 score.

 

[The Shredder]

Batman Scoreby Danny Elfman.

Just awesome.
