The cover pictured is not the CD reviewed. I have informed Amazon of this through their give feedback on images button but they cannot verify it because they are "unable to recreate the problem." Really? Because all you should have to do is point both eyeballs at the picture at the same time and then read the first review to know they are two different CD's. If you are looking for the Neal Hefti CD this ain't it. Don't you think a little knowledge about CD's should be required to be on the "verification squad?"

Tim Burton had successfully worked with Danny Elfman on the music for Pee-wee's Big Adventure and Beetlejuice. But those projects were like hitting a couple of home runs in a minor-league ballpark and then being asked to smack a grand slam out of Yankee Stadium when Burton pencilled Elfman into the starting lineup for this highly-anticipated film that was in the making for nearly a decade.
And Elfman delivered in the clutch.
The titles to the 21 tracks - clocking in at 54:45 - aptly depict the emotions that are conveyed by the music, which was arranged by Elfman, Steve Bartek and Shirley Walker and co-produced by Elfman and Bartek. The score is equally brooding and powerful, with the colors meticulously splashed on a gothic canvas, and remains a gem in the iconic franchise for the Caped Crusader.

Danny Elfman gave an award winning composition for this film and rightfully so. To me the score for the film is as important as the film itself. I was raised watching the movie and have always loved Batman and the score for the 89 film just brings up feelings of time forgotten. So if you like the movie or Danny Elfman's style of Composing than is a definite buy, as for others is you enjoy classical music this also a very compelling score, with many highs, lows and the always powerful that Elfman brings. So dont buy if you didnt like the movie, or dont like Elfman.

The Batman soundtrack by Danny Elfman is one of the best soundtracks to any movie, ever. There is not a weak track on the whole album. Anybody who has seen the movie remembers the familiar soundtrack. This music is powerful, haunting and gothic at the same time. This music really portrays the darkness of this great movie. This is Danny Elfman's best work, in my opinion. My favorite tracks are 1. The Batman Theme (a classic), 2. Kitchen, Surgery, Face-Off, 3. Flowers (eerie and emotional),
4. Clown Attack, 5. Descent Into Mystery, 6. Attack Of The Batwing (dramatic), and 7. Up The Cathedral (really dramatic).
This soundtrack is far superior to The Dark Knight soundtrack, which is repetitive. I highly recommend this soundtrack for fans of this great 1989 movie and for fans of dark classical music. For people who have never even seen the movie, you'll still enjoy this soundtrack.

To tell you the truth, I'm a fan of three Batman scores: Danny Elfman's Batman and Batman Returns, Shirley Walker's Batman TAS and Mask of the Phantasm, and Hans Zimmer/James Newton Howard's Batman Begins and the Dark Knight. And when it comes to the classic gothic Batman, I go for Danny Elfman's score.
"Batman" is one of my favorite scores. It has a rugged edge and mystical cosmos. The action sequences are the finest I've ever heard. "Batman to the Rescue," "Attack of the Batwing," and "The Final Confrontation" are the best ones yet. The famous "Descent into Mystery" shows that director Tim Burton's gothic style is a great accomplishment.
And thank God there are no Prince songs here: If U2 and Seal made their "Batman Forever" songs back in 1989, then it would've been a perfect combination. But anyway, I love Elfman's music.
