The first one was still Danny Elfman's theme (but conducted by Walker, I think).

Her Superman Theme is really underrated. Rest in Peace.

Yeah, it's an Elfman theme but people think its Walker.

Wow. They all work. But particular praise goes to the B&R video. It actually made the film look interesting!

An excerpt from Michael Schelle's interview with Shirley Walker in The Score, pg 373:

"From the beginning, the producers on that show- Bruce Timm, Alan Burnett, and Eric Radomski- did not want a Danny Elfman sound for the Batman character. They had seen my work on the Flash television series and liked my work from there. They wanted me to do the theme. They were very, very dismayed when Danny insisted that he was the only human being on the planet who could write for Batman, and that it should be his theme for their show. I didn't get to have the theme until after that had sort of subsided. Then we created the theme we wanted for the show. As I said, they were not interested in it sounding like Danny Elfman, but I think that I was influenced by Danny's work for the first Batman movie because it was a great sound for the Batman character. Personally, I knew I didn't want to go away from that Gothic, overdone, overstated method of treatment for the Batman character."

Earlier in the interview, Walker talked about her parting ways with Elfman. She felt that all the accusations that she was writing his music had an unhealthy affect on their working relationship and careers. She also praises his work on Batman, calling it 'ground-breaking' and believing that he was robbed at the Oscars for not even being nominated.

VERY fascinating!

What can I say. It sounded Elfman in the end.

RIP, Miss Walker.

I love all of her work, she was such an amazing talent and added to the greatness of BTAS with her scores. Her Final Destination scores are awesome, although they haven't been released officially I still have some copies I made myself.

I'm not too crazy about her music outside B:TAS but the work she did on the show was amazing!

Does anyone know if she did the music for JL and JLU too? I'm planning on doing those next. Just waiting for Smallville Season 6 to come on DVD before I start.

I'm only familiar with her work with cartoons. It was great. Very cool videos
