@@thevaden2024 i don't think it's the fact that people don't like an angry batman. it's that he killed people which goes against what makes batman batman.
Was really hoping this theme would kick in during that shot of the bat signal kicking on, but I also like that they kept it subdued and focused on The Penguin. "Nothing can stop you now, Gotham is yours" and then that Bat signal kicks on... chills.
One thing I've always liked about Giacchino is that he's someone who grew before our eyes. He's not from a previous generation, like John Williams, Danny Elfman, Mark Isham or many others that were already established by the time my generation - 90's kids, 2000's teens - started paying attention to names in the credits. In the 2000's, he gradually started to grow, with "The Incredibles" being his first big mark. And look at him now, look at him go, making themes for Batman.
Something I really enjoyed about this movie is that they focused on the batman as the greatest detective. I’m honestly surprised it took them this long to make an actual mystery movie for the batman.
Even though he wasn’t the “World’s Greatest Detective” at that point in his career, it was awesome to see Bats do that kind of work on top of his crime fighting. A truly well-rounded performance from R Patt :)
@@brandonthomas6602 It felt like that was the point. Like that Batman strong arming every situation and being angry and impatient kept him constantly 1 step behind the Riddler.
@@donalddarko5807 It’s really shown by each club scene. First he forces his way in as batman, then he walks in as Bruce. Each time he goes to angry or too peaceful. Before he sneaks in, silent without being noticed, he uses his skills and brains than brute force or passive walk.
0:46 through 2:24 is so beautiful, gives this feeling of loneliness, darkness, but somewhere in all of that darkness theres hope. It fits so well to Robert’s batman
@@julien_mglhs Don't need to watch the movie to tell it has a feeling of loneliness, darkness etc. You can also tell from the trailers that the music fits Robs Batman so well
That orchestral part reminded me of a James Gray film, especially The Yards. Maybe it's a tune inspired by Gustav Holst as well? Howard Shore who did the score for The Yards used a Holst piece as the theme for the film.
I have a feeling it’ll play when Bruce and Selina are on screen together… The softness indicating something romantic or at least a definite connection but then as the theme starts to become darker, they turn away as they can’t have that kind of relationship right now. Then becoming epic again as it leads into Batman doing what he does best, the mission. Just a theory but pretty much what I saw listening to this. It’s a great theme.
I had no doubts as I KNEW it was going to be an absolute MASTERPIECE of a movie and it became EXACTLY that completely which IS a masterpiece of a movie!
@@ISleepAndIKnowThings Yeah he killed it with the Lost score, he earned my respect after watching that and most of the time, when I see he's the composer I know we're gonna get a great score (apart from doctor strange, though I don't think that's his fault, the mcu wasn't really doing much with their scores at that point anyway)
Batman and Spider-Man have always been similar in that regard. Often times they try to find happiness only for that to be yanked away. I vividly remember the scene in Mask of the Phantasm where he is begging his dead parents to let him have a normal life because “things are different now”, and the lightning that crackles in objection. He has a responsibility greater than himself to fulfill, and that is what truly makes a hero a hero. Also want to note that both tend to have villains that are victims just as much as they are perpetrators.
REST IN PEACE VICTOR OZ THINKS THAT NO ONE IS STANDING IN HIS WAY BUT THERE WILL ALWAYS BE ON MAN STANDING IN HIS WAY AND THAT IS THAT ONE VIGILANTE KNOWN AS THE BATMAN ❤
The melodic part at the beginning is severely underrated. Absolutely beautiful orchestration and playing. Really encapsulates the heroism of Batman and how he realizes he has to be more than just fear, but hope too. Brilliant composing
@@kaletovhangar I can see why you think that entirely. Masterpiece of a theme inside a MASTERPIECE of a Batman movie entirely! love this movie completely!
This song really captures the tragedy that is the Batman. A hero born of darkness that struggles to escape it for his entire life. If he can’t free himself, then maybe all the people he saves can.
I think he sees himself in every villian, especially the Joker. Gotham city is one whole big Arkham Asylum, so he tries his best to save everybody as they are all victims of the world
The Batman is the best movie I've witnessed in superhero genre since the ending of Raimi and Nolan trilogies. You can tell the amount of love poured into this movie the very moment the movie begins. From its cinematography to soundtrack, everything is just perfect. Nothing to complain. Robert Pattinson is definitely our Batman.
This is just beautiful, the whole arrangement, the violins, the percussions, the horns, everything! This reminds me so much of the theme from Batman The Animated Series. Michael Giacchino if you are reading this, you have truly outdone yourself sir.
RIP Kevin Conroy. Thank you for all the memories especially the arkham games. As a Batfan I cannot thank you enough for what you did for this character.
real talk, the ending with the bat symbol lighting up in the sky again gave me absolute chills…but what i wanna know is where batman was during the whole time with “the penguin” events, i mean even with no appearance or anything theres no way he definitely didn’t hear about what was going on, i mean there was an explosion and it was crazy and the news was blaring too and theres just now a bat symbol in the sky??? somethings weird, i hope theres explanation in the batman part 2, i mean maybe batman was investigating into it but never really wanted to step into it and was just lurking behind the scenes the whole time but idk
I fell in love with Giacchino’s work ever since the Incredibles, Ratatouille, and of course, Up, and the man just keeps on delivering across all genres.
1:37 to 3:35 is criminally underrated. It’s captures the tragedy but also undying determination and heroism that defines Batman as a character. Brilliant score!
To this day, this batman theme, moves me in a way no other before it has. I listened to it for the first time a few days before i saw the movie, and just by the music, i knew i was about be thrown for a loop and my whole idea of what a batman movie should be, was flipped upside down. Matt Reeves, Giacchino are the GOATS!!!!
The movie was a 10/10 for me. The music, the acting, the atmosphere and they really did justice to the riddler. I loved it so much and as my very first batman movie i ever saw in my life, it will have a place in my heart
@@Forza_Italia7 exactly, The Dark Knight was the best superhero movie but The Batman is the best Batman movie, This movie just cemented that matt Reeves can make any movie and it will be a blockbuster 🎉🎉
When he redeemed himself at the end while this was in the background made me cry just like nwh I love movies like theses redemption arks of your favorite character are the best
@@Cybertron1256 He didn't redeemed himself at the end. He did nothing that required redemption. He simply realized that Batman needed to be a symbol of hope for the average citizen just as much as he is a symbol of fear for the criminals. He needed to strike a balance between both to generate a positive change
One thing DC have almost always been consistent on are their scores. Animated, live-action, and video games. And now Michael Giacchino (who's been on a streak lately) is on that list with The Batman scores. Can’t wait to hear the rest of the scores, and I can’t wait until the movie comes out. It’s almost here.
4:30 this part played during the moment when Batman approached and beat up the skull gang and it was genius. It made you see this situation from the gang’s perspective as it felt like a villain was approaching, rather than the actual hero. I knew that he won’t show any mercy to them and I also knew that they deserve it but I was still feeling a little anxious and had goosebumps
Just saw this tonight, had to listen to this masterpiece of a theme again. I can’t even properly describe just how much I enjoyed this movie. It’s easily one of the best Batman movies ever.
@Gadget-Walkmen It’s my favorite DC movie period. If only DC produced bangers like this all of the time, Marvel would actually have competition. All jokes aside, I love this movie and it’s probably in my top 5 superhero films. I think it’s definitely the best portrayal of Batman, especially in a realistic perspective
Its really amazing how he went from the Twilight guy to someone who makes really cool stuff. I've never been more happy to see people succeed, especially when they make something I enjoy.
Robert Pattinson is the BEST batman I've seen and he's PHENOMENAL as Batman AND Bruce Wayne entirely while still given him a new stylized look that's FANTASTIC to see! Love this movie to death as it's the BEST batman movie, It never stopped feeling like a comic book throughout it’s runtime and felt like watching Batman: The Animated Series BEAUTIFULLY brought to life in Live-action with it's gorgeous Art Direction and aesthetics! MASTERPIECE of a film throughout!
In this movie, Batman felt like a force of nature. Utterly unstoppable. Vengeance personified. Im not that much of a Batman fan, but this movie and this theme blew me away.
As a Batman fan, this movie was everything I needed! This ENTIRE movie is a 10/10 MASTERPIECE! We have a batman movie where the best character in the film IS Batman/Bruce Wayne!

To think this movie was getting crapped on too. Then it came out and all of a sudden everyone loved it lol. This is my 2nd favorite batman movie behind Dark Knight
@@tedwan0275 I one hundred percent agree, that’s why it’s my best Batman movie, because it’s about Batman not the villain and they did a really great job with it
Without music, a superhero is incomplete. When we imagine ourselves in the cape, we dont hear huge wind sounds or sounds of the traffic, we imagine music, our very own theme song playing while we take off in the sky. In this world full of chaos, we make our own small worlds, which make sense to us. We are the 'Superheroes' of those small worlds. This is not just a Batman or a Bruce Wayne theme to me, it is a theme about any one of us, struggling from our own griefs, trying to get up, be better and get out in this cruel world to fight for what is right. This theme is our superhero theme. Micheal Giacchino, you are a genius!!!
💯, you can see yourself with the begging part which is light, happy, and hopeful. Or you can see yourself in the middle to end, the dark and gritty part but trying to maintain your values and who you really are
That 'imperial-march' style 1-m6 progression will never get old. It definitely gives off the menacing character Batman and Vader both share. Well done again, Giacchino.
It's the same interval (distance between notes) - as Something in the Way as well. 4th fret and open string, so to say. Thats why it's used throughout the film
Same. That opening scene of Batman beating up those thugs. Straight chills. The whole theater could feel the weight of his punches. This one of the few Batman that intimidate me
@@kingslayerx1716 and the sounds of him smashing their heads in is just so surreal and dark but satisfying at the same time!! Really gave me chills watching it
Exactly and the sound his boots made as he slowly appeared out of the darkness, makes for some spine chilling moment regardless you're a criminal or innocent civilian.
Isupport studied English with this I restarted English after 10 years I am a beginner studying English with asmr. Please come and take a look and Oh thank you
This song perfectly imbodies Batman. For 90% of the theme, it was relatively quiet (cuz batman doesn't really take action immediately, rather plans) until the end when nobody expects it 5:52 where it suddenly rises (when he takes action when nobody expects it) and ends quickly at 6:25, where it returns to the normal level (when he leaves without a trace).
Batman is the the symbol of not giving up. Getting up when you don't feel like it and to keep fighting. The movie and this song portrays that. And when Batman fuels it from hatred to hope, you can feel that in the song and progression of change.
@@Mr.WorldWide42069 Me too, but this soundtrack is my third best movie soundtrack ever, and the best Batman soundtrack, I really hope at least it wins the best movie score
great theme but batman returns theme is just better , to me i wish they could just keep the old theme just like 007 movies but one thing for sure it is the second best theme they ever did for any batman movie , i can see y this movie is a 10 outa 10
The Batman theme is a masterpiece, just like the film. I am going to leave a comment here so after a week, a month or maybe a year when someone likes it or leaves a reply, I get reminded of this brilliant piece of music. ; )
This sounds so unlike anything Giacchino has done before, but let's be honest, he's constantly doing that with his music. Can't wait to hear the full score.
Isupport studied English with this I restarted English after 10 years I am a beginner studying English with asmr. Please come and take a look and Oh thank you
I’m still watching this movie till this day. One of the best Batman Films I’ve ever seen. This song was so perfect for the more into the detective side of Batman, but still clearly showing his relatively new at this and still needs training.
This movie is just beautiful especially the scene where he's like holding a torch with the people of Gotham behind him in the middle of darkness. He's not a hero, he's a crusader that serves as a light for the people lost in the dark.
He IS a hero and a Fantastic one at that! This ENTIRE movie is a 10/10 MASTERPIECE! We have a batman movie where the best character in the film IS Batman/Bruce Wayne! Robert Pattinson is the BEST batman I've seen and he's PHENOMENAL as Batman AND Bruce Wayne entirely while still given him a new stylized look that's FANTASTIC to see!

MASTERPIECE of a film throughout!
I realized something about this theme: In the official trailer, the riddler asks the question "It can be cruel, poetic or blind. But when it's denied, it's your violence you may find..." The three most sensible answers would be justice, love, or vengeance. And this theme shows all three. The first half begins with a solemn theme of a hero (that is also seen in other superhero scores), which would symbolize justice. Then it slowly fades into a more beautiful and romantic theme, which symbolizes love. Then there is a bout of silence, as the percussion builds up and the rest of the orchestra builds into a much darker theme, which would represent vengeance. Notice how the "vengeance" part takes longer to build, which probably symbolizes that behind the idea of love or justice, what really fuels Batman is vengeance.
Bravo. Very interesting. I heard growth. A child who is blind to the world, then his innocence is slowly taken and the harsh reality inches it way in. Finally acceptance, and the "dark knight" is the final stages of growth with the bell tolls.
Doubt you can find love through violence ... and vengeance is never poetic ... its pretty straight forward ... justice is the only answer to the riddle. Waste your time not ours.
This is incredible! Michael Giacchino has said he loved Shirley Walker’s music (she composed all the individual Batman: The Animated Series scores for each episode and Mask of the Phantasm) and I think that definitely influenced him with this in some ways while also doing his own thing too. Amazing! Everything about this film is shaping up to be the definitive Batman film.
Little bit of Lord Of The Rings Little bit of Ennio Morricone Little bit of Star Wars (Imperial March) Little bit of Batman: The Animated Series But completely unique
Ouch! There is nothing from LOTR.. even a bit similar, absolutely not. I know it is rare to hear orchestra and classic style of composing in nowadays movies, but do not be mistaken, it is still very far from LOTR! Giacchino, Beltrami, Shore are using classic style of composing, no synths and experiments at best...
I'm glad we're finally getting actual soundtracks to movies again. So many movies have generic soundtracks that don't make you feel anything. I want the music to be as much of a journey as the actual film, they should compliment each other, and this definitely does.
I'm not really understanding this comment. A century of movie soundtracks and we're only just now getting actual soundtracks? That's kind of insulting to a lot of great composers.
That opening scene with the criminals looking up to the sky and seeing the bat signal in absolute fear and terror is one of the greatest moments I’ve seen in a superhero movie, period.

It's funny how Hans Zimmer, Danny Elfman and Michael Giacchino have all done themes for both Batman and Spider-Man... and they're all awesome!
Bruh i didn't realize that
And also in the same sequence number
Danny did the first definitive Batman and Spiderman, Hans did second of both and Michael did third.
They are the most popular properties of their respected owners.
@@dude1473 Michal Giacchino also scored Star Trek 2009 Kelvin Timeline Films.
Not sure about Giacchinos Spider-Man theme, but this is great.
The legacy of never having a bad Batman theme lives on.
From Elfman's iconic them to Zimmer's scores in both TDK and BVS and now this.......just awesome.
even the video games too. Arkham origins and Arkham city theme sound phenomenal
Elfman, Walker, Goldenthal, Zimmer, Holkenborg, Giacchino.

One thing I've always liked about Giacchino is that he's someone who grew before our eyes. He's not from a previous generation, like John Williams, Danny Elfman, Mark Isham or many others that were already established by the time my generation - 90's kids, 2000's teens - started paying attention to names in the credits. In the 2000's, he gradually started to grow, with "The Incredibles" being his first big mark. And look at him now, look at him go, making themes for Batman.
Yep
Medal of Honor still has some of the best music ever composed for a videogame. I'm glad he's getting the limelight he deserves.
Michael Giacchino is our Generation's John Williams. That's how I put it.
Also call of duty 1 with the red square theme
Don't sleep on his work on LOST. The Lost OST is ICONIC. That came before Incredibles. He also did Alias as well.

I need to see batman hitting him with a deadly combo
@@Cloudz_34like Arkham City
Something I really enjoyed about this movie is that they focused on the batman as the greatest detective. I’m honestly surprised it took them this long to make an actual mystery movie for the batman.
Even though he wasn’t the “World’s Greatest Detective” at that point in his career, it was awesome to see Bats do that kind of work on top of his crime fighting. A truly well-rounded performance from R Patt :)
yeah, and some mystery it was. i could have written that
He didn’t do any detective work, everyone solved the crimes for him
@@brandonthomas6602 It felt like that was the point. Like that Batman strong arming every situation and being angry and impatient kept him constantly 1 step behind the Riddler.
@@donalddarko5807
It’s really shown by each club scene. First he forces his way in as batman, then he walks in as Bruce. Each time he goes to angry or too peaceful. Before he sneaks in, silent without being noticed, he uses his skills and brains than brute force or passive walk.
0:46 through 2:24 is so beautiful, gives this feeling of loneliness, darkness, but somewhere in all of that darkness theres hope. It fits so well to Robert’s batman
movie hasn't even come out. Know something pal?
@@julien_mglhs evidently you are musically illiterate. All of what the post above you said is true and can be felt just by listening to this theme
@@julien_mglhs Don't need to watch the movie to tell it has a feeling of loneliness, darkness etc. You can also tell from the trailers that the music fits Robs Batman so well
Then 4:40 the bat signal and its time to go back to being The night, The Vengeance, THE BATMAN.
That orchestral part reminded me of a James Gray film, especially The Yards. Maybe it's a tune inspired by Gustav Holst as well? Howard Shore who did the score for The Yards used a Holst piece as the theme for the film.
The part that begins at 4:00 stucks your mind whole day after watching the movie.And it’s outstanding
Yesss, is perfect
True
I was mumbling the theme all day along. LOL
Thank you for this
Day ? I still have it in my mind
He is more than vengeance. He is a protector.
A dark knight 👀
A silent guardian.
Was not expecting that first half to be so uplifting
Idk what it means yet
Same. Kinda pleasant surprise
I'm sensing a Wayne suite somewhere in it.
I have a feeling it’ll play when Bruce and Selina are on screen together… The softness indicating something romantic or at least a definite connection but then as the theme starts to become darker, they turn away as they can’t have that kind of relationship right now. Then becoming epic again as it leads into Batman doing what he does best, the mission. Just a theory but pretty much what I saw listening to this. It’s a great theme.
@@Kendog282 I was imagining them showing Wayne manor or what it used to be then get to the decay and Bruce alone and his equipment in the cave
It’s sad, emotional and uplifting at the same time that’s Batman.
You forgot angry.
True, but it’s a different vibe from the trailers. It feels more like a dark yet still heroic interpretation of Batman
@@marcussmith9807 Oh a dark but heroic version of Batman? What a take
@@pderham26 eh, maybe more sentimental than heroic
Yes! Melancholy and hopeful. 💞
I like that this version has a jazzy feel to it, and a half noir. It doesn't sound Hans Zimmer-ish. It stands on its own. Well done Michael Giacchino
I agree. Personally i loved zimmer’s work on pretty much every movie he’s done but I like how this feels different and brings something new.
Dude yes those were my thoughts exactly. It's gonna go along perfectly with how they have Gotham set up to look.
@@hdudhehdhd2222 This might be heresy but I though Zimmer’s work on TDK was really weak in comparison to Begins or TDKR

the build up of emotion at 5:20 is phenomenal
Exatamente, é Fenomenal
The part from 0:24 to 4:00 is just so achingly beautiful. Tragic and heroic at the same time.
Legit my favourite part
Strongly agreed, I don't think much people talk about that part.
it’s so hauntingly beautiful, I always have this part on repeat
Listen to his Arhem Knights track from Medal of Honor. This song uses that same theme and that song is a real tear jerker
There's a bit of Nothing Else Matters in it. :)
I’ll admit, I had doubts about this movie

*best

I had no doubts as I KNEW it was going to be an absolute MASTERPIECE of a movie and it became EXACTLY that completely which IS a masterpiece of a movie!

The Incredibles, Doctor Strange, Spider-Man, The Batman, and now even Thor 4, Michael Giacchino is killing it with superhero scores.
Have you heard his work on the show Lost? He kills with any score..
Hope he does the Fantastic Four theme
@@din4219 Same
@@ISleepAndIKnowThings Yeah he killed it with the Lost score, he earned my respect after watching that and most of the time, when I see he's the composer I know we're gonna get a great score (apart from doctor strange, though I don't think that's his fault, the mcu wasn't really doing much with their scores at that point anyway)
Rogue one as well and he did that score with NO TIME at all a month
HE IS COMING ❤
"I am vengeance. I am the night. I am Batman!"
Michael Giacchino killed it. I'm so hyped for this movie.
This truly does capture the feeling that being Batman isn’t a gift or a privilege but a curse.
"This is my gift, this is my curse."
Batman and Spider-Man have always been similar in that regard. Often times they try to find happiness only for that to be yanked away. I vividly remember the scene in Mask of the Phantasm where he is begging his dead parents to let him have a normal life because “things are different now”, and the lightning that crackles in objection. He has a responsibility greater than himself to fulfill, and that is what truly makes a hero a hero.
Also want to note that both tend to have villains that are victims just as much as they are perpetrators.
@@juice2307 Well done comparison. Nuff said, my friend. Nuff said.

How pathetic
It’s basically Arhem Knights
Very well said
This song really captures the tragedy that is the Batman. A hero born of darkness that struggles to escape it for his entire life. If he can’t free himself, then maybe all the people he saves can.
I loved the way you put that 👍You further cemented Batman as my favorite superhero of all time.
Well written 👏
He cannot have peace, but he learned to find some semblance of it, when he sees the people he saves experience it. and that's enough to keep going.
Wow what u said was very profound! 👍🏾
I think he sees himself in every villian, especially the Joker. Gotham city is one whole big Arkham Asylum, so he tries his best to save everybody as they are all victims of the world
The Batman is the best movie I've witnessed in superhero genre since the ending of Raimi and Nolan trilogies. You can tell the amount of love poured into this movie the very moment the movie begins. From its cinematography to soundtrack, everything is just perfect. Nothing to complain. Robert Pattinson is definitely our Batman.

It is spiritually the same tempo as RoboCop but with Emo Bruce Wayne and no satire.
This is just beautiful, the whole arrangement, the violins, the percussions, the horns, everything! This reminds me so much of the theme from Batman The Animated Series. Michael Giacchino if you are reading this, you have truly outdone yourself sir.

After watching the finale of the Penguin, the hype is really on now!
real talk, the ending with the bat symbol lighting up in the sky again gave me absolute chills…but what i wanna know is where batman was during the whole time with “the penguin” events, i mean even with no appearance or anything theres no way he definitely didn’t hear about what was going on, i mean there was an explosion and it was crazy and the news was blaring too and theres just now a bat symbol in the sky??? somethings weird, i hope theres explanation in the batman part 2, i mean maybe batman was investigating into it but never really wanted to step into it and was just lurking behind the scenes the whole time but idk
he is the darkest hero, but someway, he is the warmest too. The scene where gotham followed his light was so so meaningful
yep. really wonderful message there at the end.
I also got emotional when he helps the kid into the evacuation pod. And the kid grabs unto him, a freak, a guy in a batsuit, because he came for them.
A superhero saving people.
Such a brilliant moment
I never expected them to do that to Gotham but it's was so well earned.

I fell in love with Giacchino’s work ever since the Incredibles, Ratatouille, and of course, Up, and the man just keeps on delivering across all genres.
Don't know if you ever watched the show Lost but that was when I first heard his stuff and was blown away.
Up has one of the my favorite soundtracks ever.

I knew him from Lost. Such powerful themes in that show!
His work on planet of the apes is also underrated
1:37 to 3:35 is criminally underrated. It’s captures the tragedy but also undying determination and heroism that defines Batman as a character. Brilliant score!

One thing DC have almost always been consistent on are their scores. Animated, live-action, and video games. And now Michael Giacchino (who's been on a streak lately) is on that list with The Batman scores. Can’t wait to hear the rest of the scores, and I can’t wait until the movie comes out.

@John Doe Allen Tsai
Without music, a superhero is incomplete. When we imagine ourselves in the cape, we dont hear huge wind sounds or sounds of the traffic, we imagine music, our very own theme song playing while we take off in the sky. In this world full of chaos, we make our own small worlds, which make sense to us. We are the 'Superheroes' of those small worlds. This is not just a Batman or a Bruce Wayne theme to me, it is a theme about any one of us, struggling from our own griefs, trying to get up, be better and get out in this cruel world to fight for what is right. This theme is our superhero theme. Micheal Giacchino, you are a genius!!!
💯, you can see yourself with the begging part which is light, happy, and hopeful. Or you can see yourself in the middle to end, the dark and gritty part but trying to maintain your values and who you really are

It's the same interval (distance between notes) - as Something in the Way as well. 4th fret and open string, so to say. Thats why it's used throughout the film
Just the most intense and spine tingling opening in the history of cinema. Man even i was afraid to see the batman appear out of the shadows.
This somehow perfectly portrays Batman as a street criminal's idea of a horror movie monster while still keeping his humanity (the soft violins).

MASTERPIECE of a film throughout!

"Fear is a tool."
Vengeance is coming!
Yeah in two years buddy
I realized something about this theme:
In the official trailer, the riddler asks the question "It can be cruel, poetic or blind. But when it's denied, it's your violence you may find..."
The three most sensible answers would be justice, love, or vengeance. And this theme shows all three. The first half begins with a solemn theme of a hero (that is also seen in other superhero scores), which would symbolize justice. Then it slowly fades into a more beautiful and romantic theme, which symbolizes love. Then there is a bout of silence, as the percussion builds up and the rest of the orchestra builds into a much darker theme, which would represent vengeance.
Notice how the "vengeance" part takes longer to build, which probably symbolizes that behind the idea of love or justice, what really fuels Batman is vengeance.
Wow that’s a really cool way of looking at this
Great analysis
Bravo. Very interesting.
I heard growth. A child who is blind to the world, then his innocence is slowly taken and the harsh reality inches it way in. Finally acceptance, and the "dark knight" is the final stages of growth with the bell tolls.
Dope
Doubt you can find love through violence ... and vengeance is never poetic ... its pretty straight forward ... justice is the only answer to the riddle. Waste your time not ours.
This is incredible! Michael Giacchino has said he loved Shirley Walker’s music (she composed all the individual Batman: The Animated Series scores for each episode and Mask of the Phantasm) and I think that definitely influenced him with this in some ways while also doing his own thing too. Amazing! Everything about this film is shaping up to be the definitive Batman film.
Thats high praise and i agree 100%
No one can do it better than Shirley Walker and that’s facts!
Fun facts.
@@TJUC123 Shirley Walker Batman theme is the benchmark
@@TJUC123Danny Elfman?!
Watched the movie last night I love how his theme is always played when he's coming around. Easily the best movie of this year didn't disappoint
Yep
10/10 MASTERPIECE of a film! Phenomenal movie and one of, if not THE BEST batman film of all time! I can’t wait for more!
Gotham is yours, no one can’t stop you babe…
HE IS COMING
WE NEED VENGENCE!!!
This has the potential to be one of the very best themes. First half has almost a LOTR feel to it.
Little bit of Lord Of The Rings
Little bit of Ennio Morricone
Little bit of Star Wars (Imperial March)
Little bit of Batman: The Animated Series
But completely unique
Yeah I definitely heard a little Howard Shore there as well. It’s great!
more like danny elfman- batman theme
Ouch! There is nothing from LOTR.. even a bit similar, absolutely not. I know it is rare to hear orchestra and classic style of composing in nowadays movies, but do not be mistaken, it is still very far from LOTR! Giacchino, Beltrami, Shore are using classic style of composing, no synths and experiments at best...
😂🤦🏻♂️
So hyped for this film and soundtrack!
2:19 what is that sound?
@@kingrobert7246 clarinet or an accordian?
@@thumn well it sounds bad.
Sooo does this mean you’ll do a cello cover of this song sometime in the future?👀
@@kingrobert7246 I'm guessing you're not a fan of Elman's Batman soundtrack are you?
I'm glad we're finally getting actual soundtracks to movies again. So many movies have generic soundtracks that don't make you feel anything.
I want the music to be as much of a journey as the actual film, they should compliment each other, and this definitely does.
Exactly, this is what we need, especially in superhero films. Inspiring, emotional themes.
I'm not really understanding this comment. A century of movie soundtracks and we're only just now getting actual soundtracks? That's kind of insulting to a lot of great composers.
This is the most beautiful theme I ever heard😍
