Batman by Original Score (CD, Aug-1989, Warner Bros. Records Record Label)

Great product.Please send me more ads of items like this one since I am a batman collector of any kind of items batman.

Sometimes when we watch a movie, we miss a lot of subtleties within the soundtrack . This was discovered by me after a friend bought a soundtrack of one of my favorite movies as a gift . Since receiving that gift , I have been buying soundtracks to some of my favorite movies , and all the while discovering musical treasures I simply overlooked while watching the movies . This is one of those soundtracks that gives both soothing moments, and excited ones as well . I suggest everyone explore the world of soundtracks, you will be amazed at the moments of music you may not have even noticed when watching the film itself . The original score in this case has given me many moments of musical pleasure I never quite experienced watching the film, I heard the music, but missed many subtle moments the soundtrack allows me to explore without distraction . On a scale of 1-10 , this one weighs in at a heavy 9.0 , with music I really enjoy with, or without the film which it was made for , Enjoy !

If you consider Tim Burton's Batman a great movie, you should have both soundtracks. I am more into the score rather than the songs used in the film. So it may sound a little bias.

This is not the uber awesome-ist score you'll ever hear, but it does have enough for me to say it's very good. After having watched the movie at least 10 times, (I had the VHS and it was on tv several times), the score doesn't sound as powerful alone as it does on screen. Some score albums are powerful enough to stand listening to on its own; this one doesn't quite make it for me. Don't get me wrong, I still love listening to it and I am a Batman fan. This one is still one to get.

My favorite tracks, besides the main theme, are:
7. Batman to the Rescue
13. Childhood Remembered
15. Charge of the Batmobile
16. Attack of the Batwing
18. Waltz to the Death
19. Final Confrontation, The

Overall, I'm not sure how much more they could have added to make this a better album, it's already crammed with most of the movie, but it doesn't matter, it's Batman, it's Elfman, it was part of a very good movie. As a Batman fan, it's a must have.

In case you're wondering, I would want to have given this a 4.5/5 rating, and the soundtrack with the Prince songs a 3.5/5.

If you're looking for a batman soundtrack this is likely the one. This score from the first film has the original danny elfman batman theme as well as the joker's theme, which might actually be better. If you are looking for any of the Prince tunes (Batdance anyone?), this is not what you want. Essentially all the music from the recent "Lego Batman" video game can be found on this disc. The new films starring Christian Bale have an entirely different score and theme than is found on this famous Elfman album. If you like movie scores, and the batman films then give it a shot. Otherwise, just play it safe and stick to John Williams.

I saw Batman the movie. I wasn't paying attention to the music much but when I saw this cheap from a favorite seller I figured I'd get it. It's OK. Most people probably lauded it but it falls short for me. Much better scores out there that have more electronic influences which I love.

This is a nice compilation which includes the intro movie score. Theres another cd out there that contains the soundtrack produced by Prince. This one only has the tracks used behind the movie parts like the chemical factory, the batmobile scene where it blows up the factory, the part where joker asks for a mirror, the fight scene i the tower bell, etc etc...
Great for listening while working or you can use it if your producing home grown movie scenarios.

Wonderful Music for an epic movie. The compositions are amazing and powerful giving life to the batman.

This cd is NOT the original issue of the Batman soundtrack. The original issue provided 9 tracks and the Batman logo covered the entire face of the cd, tape and movie.
