My 5 year old loves everything Batman. I never watch an entire Batman movie with him but when he showed interest in movie scores I naturally purchased this one. We all love it. I've listened to it several times while my boy's at school. It's got me completely turned on to Danny Elfman, hence I'll soon be broke... PS... Reduces the "are we almost there yet"s by 95% on hour car ride to grandma's. Partly because Dad pretends he's driving the bat-mobile and I think he drives faster.....

What we get here is a mix of the dark and creepy Danny Elfman scores of Batman and Batman Returns and the much more different yet wonderful score of Elliot Goldenthal from Batman Forever. All three of these films contain great scores! Its nice to see them put together in a trilogy where they belong! A nice job by both composers. A must buy for any Batman fan!

5.0 out of 5 stars Impressive, August 19, 1999

A re-recording? Yes. But in every way as good as the original soundtracks. McNeely's cunducting is little different than Elfman's and in many ways, is better. For instance, track 10: Birth of a Penguin uses louder vocals which, in my opinion enhances the music. I'm impressed.
