The BATMAN Suite by Danny Elfman [Hollywood in Vienna 2017] 

Best Batman theme ever!!!

If you heard this batman theme when you were young, then your childhood was AWESOME and EPIC!

31 years later & i still get goosebumps.

I am Vengeance. I am the Night. I am Batman.

For me the definitive BATMAN theme

1:21 Every time you beat a LEGO Batman level

The great thing about Elfman's Batman theme is it incorporates all the elements of Batman.... the sadness (at his parents' death), the heroic, and scaring the absolute crap out of the bad guys.

3:55 "Jack? Jack is dead my friend. But you can call me, JOKER. And as you can see...im a lot HAPPIER!" -Jack Nicholson (Batman 1989)

This IS Batman's theme. No matter what anyone says

I am a 37 year old woman and this gives me goosebumps. Here is my entire childhood in a musical piece. And, yes, girls LOVE Batman the most! 🦇💖💖💖💖💖

Magnificent , the main conductor looks like Alfred

I was 4 when Batman 1989 was rolled out.....this will always be Batman’s theme for me. To this day just hearing this gives me chills, I feel unstoppable when I listen to this.

-I'm not going to kill you, I just want you tell your friends about me -What are you...!?! I'M BATMAN

THE NOSTALGIA IS KILLING ME!!!!!

0:00 Main Titles 2:59 Descent into Mystery 3:55 Waltz to the Death 5:05 Birth of the Penguin 5:55 Finale

The 90s was the best era to be a kid 🙌🏾

I don't care how many movies with different composers they do, this will always be the definitive theme to my ears.

Gives me chills whenever I hear it but still my favorite.

How the hell did that not receive a standing ovation??? That was the most EPIC & LEGENDARY performance ever!!! Long live Danny Elfman and Batman!

Every time a new Batman soundtrack comes out I say to myself "this is definitively the best batman song I ever heard" ...and then I get to hear this track again and I immediately think to myself..."what was I thinking about?!"

The finale song in the end at 6:20 gave me goosebumps. Danny Elfman is the man.

I AM VENGEANCE! I AM THE KNIGHT! I.. AM.. BATMAN!!!

You see, the Joker's waltz part DOES put a smile on everyone's face.

The best batman theme for me

I like how everyone on stage can't help but smile when they start playing the joker theme. Me too, I don't know what it is, it just makes you smile.

This will forever be the main theme to Batman

im 35 and saw this movie when i was a kid. and still my favorite part starts at. 6:20 it always makes me tear up and idk why but it’s beautiful

Danny Elfman is a pure musical genius

That transition at 2:59.....just phenomenal

This theme really brings out a Batman Hidden inside us.

Nothing will beat this Batman theme. There have been 4 live action scores and nothing even compares to this one.

Danny Elfman has such a unique take on writing musical scores.

0:57 One of the most satisfying theme drops

Ah, so glad The Waltz of Death is in this as well as The Penguin's Theme/Birth of a Penguin/Death of The Penguin. It wouldn't be a Burton Batman Melody without those great tracks

I feel they should use this for every batman production. It resonates with The Batman.

Elfman kicks as as a composer and frontman. This orchestra nailed it too.

Danny Elfman work on the first two movies soundtracks was so damn strong no one's come close to topping it.

watch Keaton in the Flash yesterday, my childhood hero 😢😢😢

Back when movie scores where larger than life and not just there to enhance the scene they are being played on.

Keaton, Nicholson and this magnificent score. How could you not love Tim Burton's Batman? Arguably the one that birthed the era of big budget superhero movies. Not perfect, just awesome.

This is the BATMAN Anthem. Nothing else.

This Batman score is as iconic as Williams, Superman . Never again a superheroe film has a soundtrack of this quality and so representative of the main character it goes with.

Danny Elfman's 89 Batman music has gave me goosebumps for the last 32 years. Lol

When I heard the first notes of this song, I instantly visualised the Warner Bros logo morphing into a police blimp with twin spotlights, like some inescapable Pavlovian reflex. Was that just me? Anyone else?

WOW! This took me back to sitting in a theatre in Denver, Colorado in 1989. When that theme came up and hit the audience full on, we all stood and applauded! THIS was the Batman we'd been waiting for all our lives!

Shut up kids, this is the best Batman Theme so far Batman = Darkness. 0:58 he's coming #goosebumps

Long before Nolan Zimmer breathe a new life into Batmanverse there's Burton Elfman that set definitive Batman.

3:00 is EPIC

Best of the best Batman theme. Definitive.

After 31 years old, this is THE Batman theme forever and ever!!!

I'm glad to see that the conductor makes faces as he's going, because I feel like I would too.

The moment at 06:22 give me chills and gets me emotional everytime. It came from dark ambience to a glorius epic happy notes, much closer to Superman than Batman. Love it.

That chorus at the end, my god the goosebumps!

Even in 2022....this will be THE Batman theme forever. Has anyone noticed the chorus also used in the Batman Animated Series?

Batman will ALWAYS b the number 1 hero out of all heroes from DC and Marvel. Period!!!!!

3:00 Descent into Mystery- the definition of making an entire scene with just a track

Even putting aside my Batman 1989 nostalgia, this is just a stunning score.

Tan sólo está obra maestra, es mejor que todos los Avengers.

The intro is so good. You can tell he took a lot of inspiration from John William's Superman theme

John Mauceri conducting at his best!! 😊

best theme, best batman (keaton) ever !!!

I can’t wait until we can all go see orchestras perform amazing compositions like this again. I miss live music so much

Hearing this gives me goosebumps, watched Batman on VHS as a kid all the time

Mr. Michael Keaton is My # 1 BATMAN OF All Time. Plus He Has the Best BATMAN Theme. Music by Danny Elfman Theme Song Batman 1989 and Batman Return 1992 Michael Keaton as Bruce Wayne/ Batman is Legendary Number 1 in 2024 and 2025

Privilegiados los de nuestra época, que vimos a Batman en estreno y con semejante banda sonora!!! Por Dios, eso creo que no se vuelve a vivir... Viva Batman por siempre ...🦇

Things change...Keaton the best Batman of all times

Absolutely the best Batman theme from all the Batman movies

i am 45 years old and i stillhave the main theme in my mobile calling tune

I still can't fathom how Danny Elfman went from being the singer in a mediocre 80's band, writing about dead man's parties, and weird science, to a couple years later writing one of the most epic jaw dropping scores in the history of cinema.

I think what impresses me most about this soundtrack is that I remember the exact moment, day and time I first heard/watched Batman. The epic music echoes like some of the great music by John Williams for the original trilogy of Star Wars; to the opening track of of building excitement to the deep melancholy to the masquerade ball to the intense impact of sudden clash of musical brutality as the score reaches its climax-ending with an inspirational score like the original Superman leaving one with anticipation and hope for the future. This soundtrack is one of the greatest of all time; not just for super hero genre but to me it is a musical masterpiece-- Mr. Elfman music still inspires us to this day.

I still get goosebumps to this piece and seeing danny elfman play this piece live had me tears because it was a childhood dream come true.

This Is The Most Nestolgic Batman Theme Ever

3:55 As though we were made for each other... Beauty and the Beast. Of course, if anyone else calls you beast, I'll rip their lungs out.

Freaking beautiful! Almost cried

1989 - Batman ... 1992 - Batman Returns. Son los dos unicos batman que me agradaron

I cry every time listening to this. It reminds me of how much I use to absolutely love batman and I would play lego bat man ALL the time and watched the animated series too.

Hearing this brings me back to my childhood. Seeing Batman in theaters in the 80's when I was 8 years old.

Entire performance is great. The Brass Section in particular are magnificent. ✌🏾🤟🏾

My all time favorite Batman movie to this day.

Of course Viennese LOVE their waltz, the musicians' smile was divine! 😁

Elfman's Batman and Spider-Man themes will stand the test of time.

3:00 The song in the Batimovile when go to the Batcave and light Vicky Vale.

Este tema me recuerda cuando yo tenia 9 años, en aquel entonces Batman de Keaton vs el Pinguino estaba en los cines, me da nostalguia, porque esas peliculas era lo máximo en temas de superheroes a inicios de los 90's, y con ello una epoca de muchas cosas que extraño y que ya no volveran.Batman Return Forever

From watching Tim burtons movie as a kid what most resonates in my head is this song and seeing the batmobile in real life.

I can imagine Michael Keaton's appearence in Flash movie with this song O GOD YES!!

6:46 I don't know why, but I love this part.

Thank the lord for Danny Elfman

Elfman will never be topped. PERFECTION.

The definitive Batman theme for me, goosebumps everytime I listen to it.

What a masterpiece! I am so lucky that the first time I heard this one I was a kid in 1990s.

Gave a 10 minute standing ovation at the end in my own apartment. Absolutely marvelous

You can see so many of the people in the early 40's and under really loving it. You know it's nostalgia for them as well.

3:55 You can call me joker. And as you can see. I'm a lot happier. Best entrance ever!!

always loved this soundtrack and it sounds even better live

1989, a drive in theatre in Slippery Rock, PA. I was two. I was in the back seat of a 1976 Chevy Malibu, painted an ugly shade of battleship grey, spotted with rust. My parents were in the front. My mother glanced back at me, expecting a sleeping baby. No. I was awake, eyes big as dinner plates, staring at the screen as this music filled our senses. They didn't close til the movie's finale. That's my first memory.

I get the chills... This theme is a masterpiece.

Just as iconic as the superman theme to me!!

First thing first: This is a beautiful arrangement that includes some of the best parts of the score, and a fantastic performance! I love how Opening Theme meshes smoothly right into Descent Into Mystery. That being honestly said, I was a little caught off guard at how the music editor left out my favourite part of Decent Into Mystery. It could have blended nicely right into the ending part they kept. Also would have been sweet if they could have included a couple piano/cello phrases from Childhood Remembered and the same with the pipe organ part of Up the Cathedral. Such great treats of those pieces. But watching this more closely, I'm so dissappointed to notice a perfectly good gong and its glorifying opportunity being neglected! LOL Beautiful work, you all. Wish I could have been there. Actually, I wish I could be on that stage with you all. Cheers for sharing.

i listen to this at least once a day, sometimes more

Danny Elfman is the Man for this !! 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
