The score is great, but the mix and selection of the cues could have been better. Maybe I am wrong. Maybe it is not the Goldenthals selection...I hope so. You could hear some alternate takes in French version on B&R SE. The Robin's first intro. at the museum (alternate theme, the original is better). Another one is the 'villains' theme which you hear during the Arkham scene when Ivy says 'his name is Bane' and there's another one...can't remember. I think this is actually a cut-down version of the 2-CD version. Same bad sound, same bad channel.

I wouldn't be nearly as interested in this score as much as "Forever", due primarily to the handling of the main theme. What was a elegant, yet gleefully flamboyant performance of that great variation on Elfman's theme in "Forever", was turned into a cheap Saturday-morning cartoon parody of itself for this movie. Now, clearly the movie itself is indeed a Saturday-morning cartoon parody in and of itself, not to mention a huge, flash-frozen pile of dog feces, and therefore the difference in the main theme's approach and performance was rightfully adjusted to fit the tone, but it's still a terrible arrangement compared to "Forever" as a listening experience. Now I am only talking about the main Batman theme itself, not the rest of the score or the other themes used in both movies.

As you may have already surmised, I am a HUGE fan of the Bat (although, I do LOATHE some incarnations). That said, I would still love to release everything Batman music related. Perhaps one day I will do so. Only time will tell. MV What I really hope is that La La Land release both Goldenthal's "Batman & Robin" score and the upcoming "Batman: Under the Red Hood" score by Christopher Drake. Any plans to see released soon on CD at least the last one, MV??
