There is a depth to Danny Elfman's score that is breathtaking. I love Hans Zimmerman's scores but Danny's is top for me. The film caught the reality/fantasy mix that is comics just right for me. Danny's music and Keaton's performance made Batman live for me. :)
I saw the BBC philharmonic playing this last night and it blew me away. It's so powerful and I've loved it since I was a kid watching Burtons Batman and the cartoon series. Nolan's films are, for me, superior in every way to Burtons Batman except when it comes to the music. Danny Elfman kicks Hans Zimmer's arse.
People should just be glad that there are so many different takes on the material. The fact that the Nolan trilogy exist doesn't take away the Burton films from people. Don't hate.
@haibane13 What are you high? Batman 89' is one of the most succesful Batman movies ever made. This film, not Nolan's films, was the one that brought Batman back to life. It layed the foundation for BTAS. This film took Batman out of the campy 60's and brought back the dark gritty Batman. Burton gave us the first mature and serious Batman movie. Before this film, Batman was a happy chum in colorful spandex from a dusty old comicbook, after, he was the dark knight in black armor.
@vintagevice Batman IS fantasy. Batman himself is just not a realistic concept to begin with, no matter how much you may dream it is. That Tim Burton went overboard with his gothic style doesn't change the fact that this is a story about a man dressed up in a dark theatric Bat-costume to fight crime, is nicknamed The Dark Knight, and fights creepy clowns and Catwomen. Even without Burton, the Batman world has enough gothic elements on it's own. The city is called GOTHam City, not AverigeCity.
@vintagevice Batman The animated series also understood the mythos better then the Nolan films. At least they weren't too shy when it comes to using all of the characters from the mythos instead of acting like realism is more important then anything or anyone. Wouldn't it be nice to see a live-action ManBat, Croc, or Clayface in the films at some point? I think BTAS shows it CAN be done in a serious fashion. Realism is not THAT important as long as the story is dark, gritty, and serious.
@jackJoker89 yer i don't buy bale as bruce, he doesn't sell the whole i'm an outcast and a loner. I love the opening bruce scene in batman returns where he's just sitting there brooding until the signal shines on him *shivers* that's the batman/bruce...

I was listening while doing my homework. Most epic Algebra ever.
I feel so empowered at the end there...Wow, Batman is the fucking best.
Amazing. Simply amazing.

If only Batman begins and The Dark Knight had such strong music....
