I would buy another volume of Superman: TAS for sure. The first set was magnificent.

I finally got around to listening to Mystery of the Batwoman tonight. It was a joy. I haven't watched the film in years so the quality of the score took me by surprise. The use of synth really sets it apart from BTAS and TNBA musically, but it's used to great effect - for example, in the 'Chase Through Store' cue. Both in the more exciting sequences like that one, and in the more subdued ones like 'Bruce and Kathy', there's a strong Justice League vibe. Not surprising since Lolita Ritmanis worked on both projects, and picking up on the similarities here has made me all the more excited for a possible Justice League release down the road.
This score also boasts some lovely themes - I particularly enjoyed Batwoman's recurring theme, which is given a more badass/bombastic edge later on in the score compared to the jazzy version that we hear in the opening sequence and the opening titles. Speaking of those tracks, I was puzzled that the main theme was first on the CD, before the opening sequence. Very strange, and I can only assume that La La Land were asked to put the main theme at the beginning?
Oh, and Chase Me... So nice to hear that coming out of the CD player's speakers, especially the opening bit set at the gala.
I hope people will pick this one up. It's not the best DCAU score but there are a lot of fun cues like 'The Reason I Called' and some very cool themes like the villainous one featured throughout the score (you can hear it in 'Penguin Gets a Call', for example). Great release!

Thanks for the clarification. I was going for this one but now I'm hesitant. I know the talent of Ritmanis and the few tracks featured by LLL on the website are great from a musical perspective, but generally I find synth instruments trying to emulate an orchestra distracting.
I tend to agree more often than not, but I find this album to work very well, and I'm not distracted by the synthetic instruments, especially given the prominence of acoustic instruments here and there. Some are better at this.
And I'm glad the album kicks off with the main theme, I find it to be a great start to the album.
