Batman (Suite Part 2) - Danny Elfman

[@tinselPixie]

There is a depth to Danny Elfman's score that is breathtaking. I love Hans Zimmerman's scores but Danny's is top for me. The film caught the reality/fantasy mix that is comics just right for me. Danny's music and Keaton's performance made Batman live for me. :)

[@NicholasWingoldenkiwi2095]

This score is perfect for Batman the musical and the batman films

[@5590ERS]

Best underscore of all time.

[@Varnyo]

I was listening while doing my homework. Most epic Algebra ever.

[@bobthegrinch]

I saw the BBC philharmonic playing this last night and it blew me away. It's so powerful and I've loved it since I was a kid watching Burtons Batman and the cartoon series. Nolan's films are, for me, superior in every way to Burtons Batman except when it comes to the music. Danny Elfman kicks Hans Zimmer's arse.

[@BarbaraGordonBurnside]

AMAZING! If only Batman begins and The Dark Knight had such strong music....

[@The90slim90]

People should just be glad that there are so many different takes on the material. The fact that the Nolan trilogy exist doesn't take away the Burton films from people. Don't hate.

[@JenTA102]

Classic

[@jchavez11487]

2:12 - ending. favorite part!

[@GrilloJ123]

I feel so empowered at the end there...Wow, Batman is the fucking best.

[@libazael1]

QUE HERMOSA MUSICA GRACIAS BATMAN ,GRACIAS ELFMAN

[@BarbaraGordonBurnside]

@vintagevice Batman IS fantasy. Batman himself is just not a realistic concept to begin with, no matter how much you may dream it is. That Tim Burton went overboard with his gothic style doesn't change the fact that this is a story about a man dressed up in a dark theatric Bat-costume to fight crime, is nicknamed The Dark Knight, and fights creepy clowns and Catwomen. Even without Burton, the Batman world has enough gothic elements on it's own. The city is called GOTHam City, not AverigeCity.

@jackJoker89 yer i don't buy bale as bruce, he doesn't sell the whole i'm an outcast and a loner. I love the opening bruce scene in batman returns where he's just sitting there brooding until the signal shines on him *shivers* that's the batman/bruce...

[@JoeBird76]

Amazing. Simply amazing.

[@BarbaraGordonBurnside]

@haibane13 What are you high? Batman 89' is one of the most succesful Batman movies ever made. This film, not Nolan's films, was the one that brought Batman back to life. It layed the foundation for BTAS. This film took Batman out of the campy 60's and brought back the dark gritty Batman. Burton gave us the first mature and serious Batman movie. Before this film, Batman was a happy chum in colorful spandex from a dusty old comicbook, after, he was the dark knight in black armor.

[@BarbaraGordonBurnside]

@vintagevice What you have without it is a more true Batman incarnation. Look at Arkham Asylum. Look at what Bob Kane did when he created all these characters. Kane made his villains to physically be what the symbolism of their name implies. Taking these things away for realism means you take away the intention with which these characters were designed. The Joker's accident means he's a mad clown inside and outside. What Nolan does may be more realistic, but that doesn't make it better.

[@15jbullock]

@Joelaroc7 true bout that that is a good way to put it like that

[@Mornin_Joe]

Only if Batman has kryptonite, if he does not have that then Superman wins every time. But yeah I do agree Batman is one of the best heroes ever made! My two favorite from DC is Batman and Superman. Two great stories and two great heroes that made the DC franchise what it is today.

[@ColorsBright]

90s Batman > 00 Batman

[@georgeentertainment7185]

0:00 Waltz to the Death (This version was recorded without the introduction.) 1:00 ????

[@5kouji7]

When i was watching the dark knight i was so bored i almost left at the middle part of the movie. the only thing that kept me from leaving was Heath Ledger's performance as the Joker.

[@edddy360rock]

THANKS

[@BarbaraGordonBurnside]

@vintagevice Batman The animated series also understood the mythos better then the Nolan films. At least they weren't too shy when it comes to using all of the characters from the mythos instead of acting like realism is more important then anything or anyone. Wouldn't it be nice to see a live-action ManBat, Croc, or Clayface in the films at some point? I think BTAS shows it CAN be done in a serious fashion. Realism is not THAT important as long as the story is dark, gritty, and serious.

[@ElladanKenet]

Actually, the ending theme, particularly in the movie, reminded me of Zarathustra, by Strauss.

[@ericintohistory]

@DrummerGuy2409 tim Burton's Batman was DC Batman, While Nolan's The Dark Knight is from Darkhorse.

[@vitezjura]

@wolfman8796 That sounds like a good plan to me.

[@tcb5677]

@MrBilde Ha thats funny it does remind me of that

[@Bedster2005]

A....M....A.....Z.....I.....N.....G!!!!

[@edddy360rock]

I NEED THE MP3 OF THIS SONG

[@080Cobra]

Epic music starts @2:06

[@NealX]

What??? A fan who knows they don't have to lose contact with reality in order to enjoy a fantasy? How refreshing.

[@vitezjura]

@wolfman8796 I am just joking. But I do think Burton's movies will age better than Nolans and can be watched more times without them getting boring. I have watched Burton's 2 Batmans many times and even when I know what will happen they are still interesting.

[@pinky0926]

I wonder if Elfman was aiming for a twisted take on Tchaikovsky's Waltz of the Flowers. Look it up, the main theme is remarkably similar, atlhough thi sone is a little more disturbing :D

[@AndresDrakulAlcaide]

nice :).

[@dawnofwho]

00:02 till 01:00 would be a great song to dance to at a wedding! t-minus 14 years lol XD

[@JRS1982]

What's the last minute of this called?

[@HarbingerofHyol940]

@jackJoker89 Perfect! Although I'd put The Dark Knight between Batman forever & Batman & Robin. Although it was nice to see the Joker again and although Heath Ledger did an excellent performance, I hate Christopher Nolan's take on Batman.

[@RedGecco100]

2:10 onwards!!! :D EARGASM!!

[@AndresDrakulAlcaide]

Totally agreed. I don't like zimmer's work compared to elfman's

[@HarbingerofHyol940]

@Rousalaine Hell Yeah I agree with you! FUCK Nolan's movies, Tim Burton's is one I will NEVER forget!

[@5kouji7]

Michael Keaton is Batman

[@Silmacar]

@Rousalaine Well... 99% agreed: Batman was more like a happy chum in a BORING GREY pijiamas. :D

[@radiootoo]

S Y M P H O N I C !!

[@JRS1982]

@MmeDeficit Probably not. She's not one of the more popular villians.

[@UnitingMilk]

Hah! I love Waltz to the Death.

[@GonzaloFrometa]

batman 1989 suite 1= definitive batman theme batman 1989 suite 2= definitive joker theme

[@seanboy97]

batman is the greatest hero ever he has no powers but he can still kick supermans ass

[@jesuslol]

@ZyxthePest I forgive you

[@Mathiastro]

I'd just like to point out that the name "Gotham City" doesn't come from the word "Gothic". It's an old name for New York that roughly means "goat shed". Gotham was meant to be New York City.

[@Donnymac]

I did research. Gotham City is in New Jersey.

[@ZyxthePest]

You wouldn't hit a guy with glasses would you?!

[@rekrings]

I never watched Batman Return after Burton killed the Joker I had a ban on the batman movies and it took a friend of mine to spoil the end of batman begins before I got into batman again

[@rocky5000100]

2:13 to 3:07 the new national anthem

[@scottg4520]

@29kalel Agreed, and Twilight is a hundred times more amazing than Gone with the Wind.

[@libazael1]

" SOLAMENTE SUBE EL VOLUMEN Y DEJATE LLEVAR EN EL MUNDO DEL MURCIELAGO" PD; AHORA ENTIENDO POR QUE "TIM BURTON" NUNCA LO SOLTO PARA SUS DEMAS PELICULAS.

[@seanboy97]

who cares nolan vs burton all i got to say is batman is the best

[@deadlocked1000]

EPIC 2:10 - 3:07

[@RedGecco100]

then 2:32!!!

[@NERFgunWARLORD]

use "KZbinrobot" download it and then just copy and past the link and it will download it. then move that file into your ipod library. free.

[@bonjovi1984]

this is the real batman bruce wayne = michael keanton

[@BarbaraGordonBurnside]

@vintagevice Why don't you skip the first part and go to 3:05 All you 'Christopher Nolan = God' people need to grow up and accept that Batman has existed since 1939, and while BB and TDK are certainly top Bat-films, Nolan's take on the franchise is nothing more then just that. Another take on Batman. Not the first and not the last. Burton's Batman was as big a hit as TDK, so this 'Nolan rocks, now Burton sucks' attitude is stupid. Batman 89' rebooted a dead franchise just like Begins did.

[@bfarrellmcbeth]

@DrummerGuy2409 at least they both were way better than joel schumaker

[@JRS1982]

@youngthundercat The critics and viewers would disagree with you. Burton's films are weighed down by the goofiness.

[@jdlaw001]

@scottg4520 hehehehe and Katy Perry outsings Mariah Carey.

[@29kalel]

@Rousalaine those two batman movies had the best music. batman of old was too comic. batman begins soundtrack was the best

[@laynekeefe8993]

lol Super Mario is so cool..... mostly Underwater levels

[@15jbullock]

@youngthundercat well those movies we good but Nolans made Batman better and realistic

[@MrBilde]

Haha, Super Mario Underwater theme anyone? :-))

[@jackJoker89]

My rating over the Batman movies. Batman1989:10/10,damn epic! Batman Returns:9/10,dark and moving! Batman Forever:3/10,lame and dull Batman And Robin:1/10,gotta be kidding with me Batman Begins;4/10,dissapointing

[@marcelofaviodesigner]

hmm I agree with you in the sense that the acting has become impossible when it comes to "get it real".. but it's not that important. Burton did a good thing in setting the frame but he also went on flicking stuff here and there and did a stupid 2nd film.. really very stupid. but also darker.. so stupid + darker = ??? no fucking idea.. maybe the beggining for the childish dark (stupid) follow films..

[@29kalel]

batman begins rapes batman of 1989.
