Not.

[Danny Burton]

Good lord. What was THAT? My head hurts.

I know what you’re talking about, but no, Danny didn’t take that. If anything it [Mars Attacks theme] was a motif started in the main titles of Nightbreed and Batman Returns.

Haha, I think I get it… Plagiarize a strong and inaccurate word to use. To plagiarize, you have to take someone else’s work and try and pass it off as your own. If something similar pops up in your own works, that’s simply called your style, which is what Elfman is hired for.

Actually, the Mars Attacks theme isn’t in the Nightbreed Main Titles, but it’s in the MFADT1 suite. And to be more accurate, it’s found in “Birth of a Penguin” on Batman Returns. The times are 6:12 and 6:43 for Nightbreed and 2:34 for Batman Returns.

He doesn’t plagiarize, he is influenced by other composers and he steals ideas. All good artists do it; there’s nothing wrong with it.

Stealing ideas from Goldenthal who took over Batman, refusing to use Danny’s powerful theme? Sounds weird.

Hey, you have to admit that Goldenthal’s Batman Forever score was 1000 times more entertaining than the movie.

Although I should point out that crib death is also 1000 times more entertaining than Batman Forever.

[Nin_Cherry]

I didn’t say I didn’t like the score.

I think that Goldenthal Score for Batman Forever was the most exciting wonderful and entartaining score of All Time.

And i think what happenned with films like Batman, Batman Returns, Batman Forever and Batman & Robin, If all exciting composers like Elliot Goldenthal, Danny Elfman, Bernard Herrmann, Alan Silvestri, Hans Zimmer and others would compose music for Batman Films. I think it woud the most powerful score of all time.
