This theme really does have this sense of a hero's theme, like Superman's or Captain America's, had gotten thrown in a blender. Like, it's undeniably a hero's theme, but it's also dark and twisted, because you need to be sure that you know that it is in fact a vigilante "I fight alone in the dark" theme not a superhero "I fight for truth, justice, and the American way" theme.

As someone who used to play The Lego Batman games, this is so nostalgic Edit: I know it came from the 1989 movie, but Lego Batman was supposed to be similar to Tim Burtons Batman
The same should also be said about John Williams's definitive Superman March, which was reprised in both *Lego Batman 2: DC Super Heroes* and *Lego Batman 3: Beyond Gotham* in addition to Elfman's Batman material.
Danny Elfman was a genius for making such a iconic theme. You can literally picture Batman as you listen to this. The theme itself encapsulates the character more than anything ever could.
Dark, dramatic, heroic.. Almost like blending a military march with opera theme, Danny Elfman really captured the essence of the character and the 1989 film, to this date no other theme has ever had this complexity. A Timeless masterpiece indeed.
"Don't kill me... don't kill me man!!!" "I'm not going to kill you, but I want you to do me a favor: I want you to talk with your friends about me." "Who are you?!!" ... "I'M BATMAN."
He also said" I want you to tell all your friends about me ". not "I want you to talk to your friends about me" but you don't see me correcting him like a now it all
"Batman? Batman? Can somebody tell me What kind of a world we live in, where a Man dressed up as a BAT, get all of my Press/ This town needs an Enema." - Joker, Batman 89.
I wish they would bring this theme back. Update it and make it fit the new Batman and whatnot. It just fucking works man, it's his theme. Even when Bond got rebooted they kept the classic James Bond score, that'll never change. Neither should the themes for Superman or Batman. But that's just me.
***** I count the TAS one as the same because it in a sense was an extension of this film in some minor ways. If BvS had the signature Supes theme and Batman theme in there I would get a helluva lot more pumped than what I have seen so far.
@@nigelproctor Man, you have got to listen to Gustav Holst's The Planets, Op.32, this reminds me very much of that piece (I don't know what movement exactly) I think you might it enjoy it very much as well! :)
@@nigelproctor The Batman theme (Main title) really reminds me of 1. Mars, the Bringer of War. Allegro (first movement) and Up the Cathedral (Cathedral Chase) reminds me of 5. Saturn, the Bringer of Old Age. Adagio (fifth movement). But really, the entire piece is worth giving a listen! 😄
I remember my grandfather taking me to see this in the theater when i was 7 and when this song hit the badass part near the beginning i instantly knew i was in for a wild ride. Here i am at 41 and i still get goosebumps when the drums start getting heavy and the tempo picks up. Such a timeless iconic piece of music.. danny elfman has a midas touch lol.

Danny Elfman was a genius for
making such a iconic theme. You can literally picture Batman as you listen to this. The theme itself encapsulates the character more than anything ever could.
Dark, dramatic, heroic.. Almost like blending a military march with opera theme, Danny Elfman really captured the essence of the character and the 1989 film, to this date no other theme has ever had this complexity. A Timeless masterpiece indeed.
I agree!
*coughs in hans zimmer
yes!

BREAKING NEWS: Michael Keaton is returning as Batman for The Flash movie!!!
Can’t wait to hear this again
@@gbrielmd Fo sho
Batman become vulture and vulture become batman

Im Bardurman
Trailer just dropped!!
"Yeah... I'm Batman". Time to get nuts everybody... he's back.
Yeah I’m man
"I am vengeance... _I am the night..._
*I am BATMAN."*
"Don't kill me... don't kill me man!!!"
"I'm not going to kill you, but I want you to do me a favor: I want you to talk with your friends about me."
"Who are you?!!"
...
"I'M BATMAN."
Damn:)
+Nuno Silva I'm RONNIE PICKERING!
+Victor Martinez
I'M BATMAN............ BEC4US3 I'M BATMAN!
+Nuno Silva He said "What are you" not "who are you". Just sayin'
He also said" I want you to tell all your friends about me ". not "I want you to talk to your friends about me" but you don't see me correcting him like a now it all
"Batman? Batman? Can somebody tell me What kind of a world we live in, where a Man dressed up as a BAT, get all of my Press/ This town needs an Enema." - Joker, Batman 89.
Enema? As in a procedure in which liquid or gas is injected into the rectum, to expel its contents or to introduce drugs or permit X-ray imaging?
@@danielmcguire6687 I think he meant cleaning the crap out of Gotham
Nothing more subtle like a napalm enema at night...
@Jonathan Jennings Waaah, sjws ruined my childhood.
@@kkhines9649 Nope, the joker movie is still merley a spin off of the batman universe. The joker will never outshine batman.
I wanna hear this in the Flash movie
I wish they would bring this theme back. Update it and make it fit the new Batman and whatnot. It just fucking works man, it's his theme. Even when Bond got rebooted they kept the classic James Bond score, that'll never change. Neither should the themes for Superman or Batman. But that's just me.
+Phantom Limb agreed
***** I count the TAS one as the same because it in a sense was an extension of this film in some minor ways. If BvS had the signature Supes theme and Batman theme in there I would get a helluva lot more pumped than what I have seen so far.
+Phantom Limb Same thing with star wars, they never changed the theme for the star wars movies, it was kept the same.
+Phantom Limb FUCK RIGHT MAN, FUCK RIGHT!!!
+Phantom Limb Agreed but Hans Zimmer and James Newton Howard's themes were also great
Newspaper article: "John Willams's Superman score takes film fans affection".
Danny Elfman: "Wait til they get a load of me".
Lol I can imagine Danny elfman was like that while coming up with the Batman theme
@@massimofallani And the "oh shit!' moment when he finally got the main riff down.
Batman 89 as a whole was the “wait‘ll they get a load of me” attitude
More like:Danny Elfman:Hold my beer.....
I feel like a lot of people missed the reference. Well played.
"You're.... You are...?!"
Yeah... I'm Batman.
Yeah I’m man
This theme and movie got me into Batman along with the animated series. R.I.P. Kevin Conroy
Used this theme while playing Batman Arkham Knight, try it. You won't regret it.
The same rule applies to Assassin's Creed 4: Black Flag.
Try playing it with the Pirates of the Carribean theme in the background.
+Satan straight up tho haha
I didn't regret it
same it fits perfectly especially if you have the Keaton outfit
lol, exactly why I'm here. comment made my day
Wait, Danny Elfman did this and Sam Rami's Spider-man's score as well, holy sh*t
He also composed the score for Avengers: Age of Ultron.
and the simpsons theme
Yeap. Danny Elfman is a legend.
Elfman did a lot of amazing osts. Dude is a legend
He is the second coming of music Jesus!
He’s back
I was happy to hear this again.

@@nigelproctor Man, you have got to listen to Gustav Holst's The Planets, Op.32, this reminds me very much of that piece (I don't know what movement exactly)
I think you might it enjoy it very much as well! :)
@@nigelproctor The Batman theme (Main title) really reminds me of 1. Mars, the Bringer of War. Allegro (first movement) and Up the Cathedral (Cathedral Chase) reminds me of 5. Saturn, the Bringer of Old Age. Adagio (fifth movement).
But really, the entire piece is worth giving a listen! 😄
When you get more nostalgia from the Lego game than the actual movies.
When nostalgia is stronger than actual nostalgia
best lego games ever
Yess
Nice profile picture.
AFriendlyBloke You’re goddamn right.
I remember my grandfather taking me to see this in the theater when i was 7 and when this song hit the badass part near the beginning i instantly knew i was in for a wild ride. Here i am at 41 and i still get goosebumps when the drums start getting heavy and the tempo picks up. Such a timeless iconic piece of music.. danny elfman has a midas touch lol. Imo every score he has done in any movie ends up becoming culturaly iconic
Its been a long time
when I think of Batman, this is the first thing that come to mind
Lego Batman brought me here. I Love this game, my childhood was awesome
+PicklePeeple Yeah
So you didn't come because of the movie?
+Callum Nicol the movie too
