    Tim Burton's Batman is perfection personified. The Summer of the Bat, 1989. Everything about the movie just worked phenomenally; Casting, writing, directing, editing, set design, special effects and equally as important, the gothic inspired soundtrack throughout the film. It made you feel like you were right there in Gotham City, fighting along side the Caped Crusader. To this day, Danny Elfman's score sends shivers down my spine. The music in this film is treated like an actual character where it breathes life into each scene. Batman 1989 changed the landscape of superhero/comic book movies forever, raising the bar and proving without a doubt that comic book inspired movies, when done right, become instant classics and box office gold!

    De las bandas sonoras que se han hecho para Batman, sin duda la de Dany Elfman es una de mis favoritas, de hecho al ver las imágenes, me atrevería a decir desde mi punto de vista que ambas peliculas dónde sale Michael Keaton y dónde aparece Christian Bale, han sido para mí las dos mejores que se han llevado a cabo de este maravilloso personaje; no tan sólo en banda sonora, sino en actuaciones pues verdaderamente se han vuelto entrañables!!

It was the best adaption of the 70s and 80s comic-atmosphere of Batman and Gotham. Never ever another Batman-movie had this pure Gotham-feeling.

    While I might argue John Williams is the best living Film Composer, Danny Elfman is simply a genius.
    The progression of, and variety of instruments introduces the theme, and sets the mood so beautifully. Such grace, darkness, sadness, mystery, so many words to describe this complex piece that draws me back indefinitely.
    Nolan is a genius, but Burton's Batman will always be my childhood.
    Thank you Danny Elfman, you're a wonderful human being.

    I swear this brings back so many memories, of playing Lego Batman on my Ps2 and Xbox 360, back in 2014-2015, and Lego Batman 2 iirc around 2016 on my Xbox 360 as well.
    Being a kid during those times, watching youtubers and walkthroughs of LB1 by people like 8bittheater, 5-7 years old, i was obsessed with the kissing scene with catwoman for some reason, those moments were goated. There was not a single dull moment when playing those games, my dad actually modded both so i had both things with 100% completion. I also remember back in my Lego Batman 2 days, Me and my grandma would go down into the basement, and play catch with a old ball till my mom got home from work and rung the doorbell, or i would meet her down there. I remember always leaving the game on Lego Batman 2, because i was playing it very often.
    Typing this, just floods back memories of just having fun, some memories I didn’t know I had, playing Lego Batman with my dad and grandma in the house, my mom too, i cannot express how much i miss that kind of joy. Would kill to go back to those kind of times 😞 now I’m going into highschool, my grandmother unfortunately has Alzheimer’s, I don’t want to but soon we’ll all be adults, its crazy how time files by so quickly.
    I thought every soundtrack on LB1 on the levels were different but it turns out its all on the same theme basically, and i only found that out just a few months eariler 😭
