Favorite Danny Elfman Soundtrack?

[Pfeiffer-Pfan]

Which one of Danny Elfman's two very spectacular scores remains your favorite for a number of reasons?

'Batman'

Or

'Batman Returns'

 

[Drizzle]

Definitely "Batman Returns", because it had all the great stuff from the first one, plus the added bonus of the Penguin's theme.

 

[I'm Duffman]

Both are great, but what has just tipped it in B89 direction for me is the 3 consecutive epic tracks, Charge of the Batmobile, Attack of the Batwing and Up The Cathedral. Listening to them one after the other on full volume is a surreal experience.

 

[Dangerous]

Full volume?

...

Depending on what type of sound system you have, I dunno if your neighbours share your perspective.

 

[I'm Duffman]

Its not a great soundsystem but it'll do.

Got a detatched house anyway so doesn't really matter.

 

[DarkKnight245]

Both. Danny's scores are pretty much the soundtrack of Batman. Anytime you think of the Dark Knight Danny's trademark Batman theme pops in to your head.

I love all the choir stuff in "BR", not to mention sometimes it gets all circus-y!

the really sad score when Bruce is thinking of his parents murder in B'89 is amazing as is the music when he's driving Vicki to the Batcave. some of my favorite score music of all time PERIOD not just for Bats or Elfman.

 

[El Payaso]

I'm partial to B89 score.

'89 is my favorite Batman soundtrack, and Elfman.

I enjoy the new soundtracks for the Nolan films…but they’re severely lacking something. I can’t quite place it. It’s just background music. The Elfman films evoked the atmosphere perfectly. To this day my biggest complaint with Batman Begins was them not using the Batman march.

Don't we already have a thread about this?
