I don't know what's wrong with people. I think this is a great CD. The Goo Goo Dolls song Lazy Eye is the best song on the album.

For those who are interested in Elliot Goldenthal's score from Batman & Robin, there was an EXTREMELY LIMITED release of the complete score for collectors. I've seen asking prices as low as $57.00 up to $80.00 for a copy of the 2-disk CD. I happen to own one of the copies so I can tell you a thing or two about it; first of all, Goldenthal borrows a number of cues from his previous work on Batman Forever so you will hear some recycled material. There are some tracks that are worth playing over and over again (such as "Costume Ball") and then there are others that you'll skip every time you play it.....but with 28 tracks total, you'll have plenty to listen to! I personally enjoy Danny Elfman's work best of all (Batman, Batman Returns) but Goldenthal takes the music in new directions.

Phew! That was a lot to type! Good luck tracking down a copy!

I liked the Batman & Robin soundtrack even though I didn't like the movie. It has some good songs from a lot of the popular artists from today such as Goo Goo Dolls, R. Kelly, and Smashing Pumpkins. Most of the songs are upbeat songs, and most of them are pretty good if you ask me. My favorites were "The End Is The Beginning Is The End," "House On Fire," and "Lazy Eye." The song, "Moaner" by Underground has one of the best beats I've ever heard in a song, and it's my favorite. The soundtrack also has some good softer songs such as "Gotham City." There's even a "Batman Overture" which is pretty much the Batman theme from the movie.

It's hard for me to believe that this isn't one of the most popular soundtracks because it is a good one. If you like good soundtracks with great heavy songs and even some good soft ones, I recommend getting the Batman & Robin soundtrack.

i'm sorry but 90% of movie soundtracks made are crap and the other 10% are pretty damn good...this ...is one of them! my profession is making soundtracks..so honestly..i know what i'm talking about.

There were songs on there that had nothing to do with the movie, but, I liked it just the same.

I bought this CD mainly to get the two smashing pumpkins songs, which were amazing and worth the CD purchase by themself. There were also some other songs on here that I found surprisingly good however. It was Certainly worth the money.

This is a very good Soundtrack, i espicialy like how they made a theme for Poison ivy, but i also think they should of made one for Mr. Freeze since hw was the most toughest one, poison ivy didn't even get a scratch on any of theme.. well the sound track is very good, i espicailly like soundtracks because i'm a movie buff, plus you can get an idea of the various artist on the disc. i mean For Example why buy a jwele cd, and find out that you don't like it, when you can buy this soundtrack and like all the others. If you liked this one, get "Batman, Batman Returns & Batman Forever" the Soundtracks.

My favorite songs on the soundtrack are The End Is The Beginning Is The End, Look In To My Eyes, and Fun For Me. While the music is good, the movie totally blowed! The first two Batman movies starring Michael Keaton were so good because the public saw Batman in a whole new light, or lack thereof (bats are nocturnal). Batman Forever was the best because it explained how Bruce Wayne became a hero. Batman & Robin was too predicable. There was no real insight into the Batman character. If Joel Schumacher was going to make this movie, he should have cast Keaton or Kilmer, not the almighty quitter George Clooney.

The End is the Beginning is the End is awesome! Bu the CD just for that song!

the song "The End is The Beggining"By Smashing Pumpkins is enough alone to by the cd
