Although it is not my fav Batman movie, I do feel like Gotham is most accurately represented in this movie. The city, its people, and the leaders behind it.
Batman had a decent score, but Batman Returns was infinitely better and I also like Batman Returns better as a movie (even though I liked Nicholson's Joker better than Danny DeVito's Penguin). Sure, it's pretty far off the character of Batman, but I like to think of Burton's Batman as Elseworlds where Batman has absolutely zero problems with killing, Penguin is physically deformed instead of just short and fat, Catwoman is a metahuman and Gordon is completely ineffective.
Totally agree. In my opionion Batman Returns have propably the best soundtrack of all things with Batman. With Catwoman theme you hear her lament, and the ending music was... not in all optimistic.
@Lucy Logan Wtf? I love Batman(1989) and Christopher Nolan's movies equally, but for EXTREMELY different reasons, and I don't really like Batman Returns at all. The only thing it has going for it are the fun, campy villain performances, but it's chock-full of continuity errors, a nonsensical plot, and barely any actual batman-ing. Not to mention the over-the-top Gothic imagery.
@@sandymcneish7820 Nolan's Gotham was the dullest thing I saw in my whole life. Bale's Batman is ugly and sounds weird. It's all about Rachel instead of Bruce's parents. Two-Face is ruined and there's no batcave, just a white penthouse. Batman Returns's Gotham is beautiful (if you're into German expressionism, sure). It was a poetic horror movie about crazy people in a crazy world with no happy ending. I didn't think Hollywood was still able to do such movies before Joker went out. Selina Kyle is a far most interesting character than Rachel and Pinguin was the true protagonist of this movie. And the costume is better in Returns than 1989 or any other movies so far... yeah I'm looking at you Pattinson.
I really like this soundtrack, it had such iconic themes. It is such a shame that Elfman's score for Justice League was so lackluster in quality compared to this.
I mean, he scores to the film. Better films naturally necessitate better soundtracks. Elfman's music has never been stood up by a better film. Too bad he hasn't been given much good material as of late. His work on Batman and Spider-Man is truly legendary!
In his defense, I believe the JL score was extremely rushed and that movie was a horrendous reshoot of an infinitely better movie that was released on HBO max.
@@TheDylandProductions Most definitely not the case. There are bad films with great soundtracks, and good films with average soundtracks out there. In JL's case, the music was rushed, with Danny only given a week to produce the soundtracks for the movie. Naturally his will sound average.
This was the first Batman film I ever saw. And I saw it when I was 9. As a kid, it was so cool being able to see a film so dark and twisted while being centered around a superhero. It left a big impact on me as a kid, especially as a musician from the genius that is Danny Elfman. Merry Christmas everyone. And yes, THIS IS A CHRISTMAS MOVIE!!! CAN’T CHANGE MY MIND 🎄🎅🏻
By far my favorite Batman movie and soundtrack, the tone of the tracks and film were so dark yet so beautiful that I find myself rewatching this movie sometimes
the main theme is obviously awesome, and they need to bring it back to the films. i also love the strong gothic motifs present in this era of batman onscreen, you need to do a suite or medley form the the original animated series, or mask of the Phantasm.
Venom Geek Media 98 The music and aesthetic of the first two films is amazing too bad they completely missed the point of Batman and Bruce Wayne as characters and also lacked any understanding of the Joker/Batman dynamic.
i agree with you on the joker, while Jack Nicholson put in a great performance, the story and writing of the joker was comparatively underwhelming. but i would say that Keaton gives us a more interesting Bruce Wayne, normally he's portrayed as having this suave and sophisticated facade like with affleck or bale. by contrast Keaton gives us a socially awkward introverted Bruce Wayne which is more believable.
Elfman's score for the original "Batman" (along with Alan Silvestri's score for "Who Framed Roger Rabbit"*) was one of the first scores that made me realize the orchestra was more then just background noise. So, while I wouldn't say the entire score is superior to "Batman Returns", there's certain pieces of music ("Descent into Mystery", "Charge of the Batmobile") that just aren't going be topped for me. *Far be it from me to tell you how to program your channel Jorah, but (just for the record) if you did a "Sound of Cinema" for "Who Framed Roger Rabbit", it wouldn't make me mad. Having said that, one of the things I've always admired about "Batman Returns" (and a lot of Elfman's sequel work) is that (speaking as a layman) it never seemed like he just plugged in successful arrangements from the first film. He actually took the time to go back to the drawing board and rework a lot of things, making them unique to the current movie he was working on, which is not something I can say about every successful composer I've listened to. And there's still some wonderful stuff. I'd like to give an honorable mention to "The Cemetery", which didn't make the cut here. There's this small Xylophone/Harp/Guitar/violin** transition from the intro to the main body of the piece that just gives me chills every time I hear it. **I could be miss-identifying the instruments. If I am, please be kind. Like I said up top I'm a layman.
God damn this movie is so much more emotionally effective than the first one... except for Corpse Shreck's googly eyes. I don't understand that decision.
Hot take danny devito's penguin is the best version of the character. He maintians the classic character traits, like the trick umbrellas and penguin army. But burtonized to be actually interesting. Like whats more interesting a thief whose vaguely penguin themed, or a deformed penguin-man misfit
This soundtrack is like the Batman and Army of Darkness soundtracks had a baby. Yes, I am aware that they’re all by the same person, so thanks in advance captain obvious.

Danny Elfman defined how Batman souds, grate job.
"grate"
Batman Returns is my favorite Batman movie of all time and I'm proud of it.
Same here bro and people look at me weird every time I say its my favorite
Same here. It’s my favorite DC movie period.
That’s my favorite movie of all the time ! With the greatest music ever !!!
It feels good that I'm not the only one who Loves this movie and the score and always will
Although it is not my fav Batman movie, I do feel like Gotham is most accurately represented in this movie. The city, its people, and the leaders behind it.
This is easily one of the most amazing movie soundtracks out there. Danny Elfman nailed it. This is the quintessential Batman music.
Batman Returns is my absolute favorite Batman movie of all time and the music really delivers some Bats, Cats, and Penguins.
That's such a weird cool interesting favorite!

Batman returns was bad guys.
I'm sorry. It was.
This is a great score, though...

Aaaand Batman has a batave instead of a white penthouse a weird way of talking.

If ever need someone to score my superhero movie (based on a character I've created) I'll go to Danny Elfman

Danny Elfman: my favorite composer of all
I love the sound of all of Elfmans scores. The little brass attacks with mutes and the english horn, contrabass clarinet, and uniuqe sounds.
Batman returns is fantastic 3tempo combination
1. Tim Burton’s artistical color
2. Actors fantastic efforts
3. Danny Elfman fantastic sound
Whatever happened to Danny in Justice League, I think his scores in the 90's til mid 2000's were the best
He was probably like anyone who found out they have a deadline next week and barely started studying
@@Nicholas_Chen_ I've heard that he had to write the most parts over storyboards and not the actual scenes or anything
@@Divadfilm That's what most composers have tondo nowadays and that's BS!
JL is packed with elite talent all doing a horrible job. I blame the producers but maybe it's really Whedon's rushed directorial effort.
Producers and directors don't allow composers to go all in, and push them to stick current corporate conventions.
I Remember This From Batman Returns
Awesome, this is probably the best score from any superhero movie imo. It's just done so masterfully.
This theme is beautiful.
Danny Elfman super musique je ne me lasse jamais de les écouter... Danny Elfman great music I never stop listening to them
This is the most Batman sounding Batman soundtrack of them all.

Beautiful job. I enjoy this score more than the one from '89 myself, and I LOVE that score.
Masterpiece..
Beautiful
Just beautiful
Great you Jorah the andal! classic and marvelous theme
I love how it begins a full tone down. It gives a more "deep" sound.
3:06 sounds epic!
Divisive though it may be, hopefully everyone can agree Danny Elfman is the best part of this movie :)
Any movie that has the protagonist fighting a deadly clown army is already A+ to me
1992: Batman Returns - Rated PG-13
Directed By Tim Burton
Music Composed By Danny Elfman
love this film. I still play the snes game at times because it has a lot of the film score.
14:55 that theme really makes me cry when I hear it.
2:30 Mars Attacks!
A great soundtrack and good movie before the downfall into the shit ones
9:46 these 4 bass notes are also a masterpiece
Beautiful
This movie, and soundtrack was my childhood. Best Batman movie next to The Dark Knight imo :)
God damn this movie is so much more emotionally effective than the first one... except for Corpse Shreck's googly eyes. I don't understand that decision.
Jared Williams I like to think he survived somehow and became the Nolanverse version of Black Mask.
Batman Returns' score is an epic masterpiece
Hot take DeVito gives the best batman villain performance ever
Back when Danny Elfman was good
back when Batman was good
Elfman in Corpse Bride is good too
Superb. Yet again.
Até o momento da sua vida Alpha
This and Spider-Man 2 are the greatest Comic-Book movies ever to this day
You've been brought up well my friend
@8:25......Yikes! I get chills!
Excelente tema
Eu quero saber quem foi que tirou um tiro de chocolate de mim
