Today’s “Soundcheck” program featured clips from HELLBOY II and BATMAN ’89! They even included my comment on why no themes in superhero music.

They typically have mp3s up within the hour of the program. Enjoy!

“Summer of Heroes”
http://www.wnyc.org/shows/soundcheck/episodes/2008/07/31/segments/104633“Hans Zimmer” (Interview)
http://www.wnyc.org/shows/soundcheck/episodes/2008/07/31/segments/104634The first has several comments on Elfman and the clips I mentioned. There’s an ingenious exemplary moment where they play snippets of Batman themes from the 60s, 80s and 00s back-to-back. The second clip has Zimmer discussing how he let go of the musical “baggage” of the previous films and how he ingeniously decided not to give Joker a theme, which was Elfman’s approach for the 89 film, if anyone has read DANNY ELFMAN’S BATMAN: A FILM SCORE GUIDE by Janet K. Halfyard, or, I don’t know, seen the movie.
