Batman Forever...original motion picture score...music composed by Elliot Goldenthal


This is the (not complete) score from the 1995 film. Elliot Goldenthal creates a dynamic and gothic score that easily belongs in any Batman fan's top ten list. His music ranges from eerie and sinister to over-the-top and boisterous, while still capturing the emotions on the screen and conveying them in a manner that is superior to the film itself.  Like much of Goldenthal's resume, this score is very experimental. His work is often compared to other Batman movie composers Danny Elfman and Hans Zimmer, but in my opinion this score outshines them and is an underrated achievement.
