5.0 out of 5 stars Disturbing and Action Filled, March 21, 2004

By A Customer

The score for Batman Returns is a weird and intriguing piece. The Batman theme is slower and not heard as much. The Penguin's sinister yet childlike theme is playful and dark while Catwoman's is a disturbing piece with violins and drums. Highly recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars Danny Elfman's best score, May 23, 2003

By	Jonathan Kaessner (Aurora, CO USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

The legendary music of Danny Elfman's scores is best exemplified in this dark and beautiful pieced together score. The mood of the film is made only more potently haunting with this music as a guide. It strikes you in the face with tracks like "Birth of a Penguin", while then calming your nerves (sort of) with "Selena Transforms", not to mention the classic Tim Burton-style circus music in "Batman vs. the Circus." But he overdoes himself with what may be the best music from any music score in "The Final Confrontation." If you love Elfman, Burton, and great music, this is an essential soundtrack to behold.

5.0 out of 5 stars EXCELLENT! Danny Elfman is the man!, July 14, 1999

By A Customer

Danny Elfman, at this point in time, is the only person capable of scoring Batman. The dark tones and the chorus make this soundtrack as remarkable as the movie of Batman Returns.

If you want a great soundtrack, get this right away!

Don't bother with Elliot Goldenthal's garbage of Batman Forever. He is nowhere near as good as Elfman
