In my opinion, there are two Batman ‘brands’, if you like. The Elfman brand (dark, disturbing, tragic); and the Goldenthal brand (outrageous, funny, wacky). In my opinion, they are both great. I love the batman films up to the third (the fourth was a disgrace). Now, which score do you prefer? Elfman or Goldenthal? I have a bit of a confession to make… I prefer Goldenthal’s. AAH! Yeah, except for those cheesy references to the original series – that makes for real corny music. I love the extravegance of Goldenthal’s score. Whaddya think?

The JNOOOOOO! TRAITOR!!
hehe…just kidding.
I think I prefer Elfman’s, but I know what you mean. I find myself getting into the “Batman and Robin theme”. It makes me sad, though, because as we all know, Elfman’s style has changed over the years, and we will never hear what a Batman score by Elfman would sound like now.
Not a bad theme on Goldenthal’s, but it’s not consistent. I love the consistent, well-formed theme in Elfman’s score. It also has more majestic points throughout, such as then finale in the first Batman.
>>references to the original series<<
That makes it three Batman ‘brands’ :oP>>we will never hear what a Batman score by Elfman would sound like now<<
Unless he gets to score a new Batman movie?Goldenthal and Elfman were and are very good composers with distinctive styles that somehow penetrate through film music’s chameleon urge. Two composers. One winner. Batman. After 1989 the franchise (and superhero movies in general) was changed forever. :o)

Thanks ever so much for your extremely helpful corrections, Ian (grr). Though, I do agree – and especially now – everyone’s gone CRAZY with superhero movies!
Again, I also agree with Spider-Fan’s point – Elfman’s far more majestic. However, his score doesn’t excite me like Goldenthal’s does – I get all worked up when I hear those amazing tritones!

The JNow if you’d answered http://elfman.filmmusic.com/forum/read.php?f=7&i=11988&t=11988 I’d have been able to berrate a fan your age for expressing sweaty attraction for tritones. Don’t you realise that’s only discussed on special X-rated music message boards? Shame on you! ;o)
Yeah i listened music in Batman and Batman Returns.It’s very moody and tragic music.It’s cool dark.I love tracks from Batman is:Descent Into Mystery,Up the Cathedral,Waltz of Death,and Finale,But Batman Returns i very GOOD! Best Tracks:Birth Of Penguin,Cat Suit,Selina Transforms,The Confrontation Finale,Face To Face,Cemetary,End Titles.But For Best Composers Of All is the Elliot Goldenthal the master of music.Elfman andGoldenthal are both cool.I thought if Elfman and Goldenthal wood be two composers for one of the films of the Batman,Batman Returns,Batman Forever,Batman & Robin it’s very cool.To darkned,too collosal,too gothic,too magestic sounds,too Vagnerian.Do you agree
I love Goldenthal,because when heard music in Batman Forever,i was very shocked.Such a beatiful music i don’t know,i really fall in love into the Batman Theme.Very cool,it so dark and Gothic,Vagnerian and collosal.I love Riddler and Two-Face Theme,It’s really Funny.But when i Saw the Batman & Robin film.I’m begun finding Score for this film.I’m looking for Batman & Robin Score 2-CD for 3 years,but i don’t find this score.anyone know’s where i can purchase this SoundTrack.Yeah i listened music in Batman and Batman Returns.It’s very moody and tragic music.It’s cool dark.I love tracks from Batman is:Descent Into Mystery,Up the Cathedral,Waltz of Death,and Finale,But Batman Returns i very GOOD!
