No disrespect to Hanz Zimmer, he did a great job composing the Dark Knight films. But Batman has a theme song and THIS is it right here. The hype it would generate in my child self at the beginning of every episode of Batman: The Animated Series and then hearing it again as an adult... chills
@@brfjno1 I know it's the theme from the Tim Burton films and yes they DID use the same theme for Batman: The Animated Series. It's the same score and the same notes, what are you talking about? They just adapted a shorter version for the animated show
@@Ethan-wr2os Just play them at the same time, they're pretty similar, almost identical (they hired Elfman to compose the theme for TAS precisely for that reason, to make it as close as possible to the Burton's version) but they are slightly different, and again, there is absolutely nothing wrong with that, i love both and they are my childhood and part of the reason why Batman is my favorite superhero : )
@@brfjno1 what I am saying is it's still that Batman theme, the same one they used in the new Flash trailer. Even tho it's a different instrumental and has been adapted yet again in a new way, it's the theme I identify more closely with Batman than say the Dark Knight theme or the new Pattinson one. Good as they are, this is Batman's song
A major shout-out to the late, great Shirley Walker. The woman who not only helped Danny Elfman give life to this beautiful theme. She was also responsible for giving BATMAN: THE ANIMATED SERIES its great music!
I just bought the blu ray complete set from a pawn shop and finally finished it three months ago. Only watched a few episodes growing up as I didn’t grow up with cable.
My dad is 51 years old this is his favorite Batman movie the story of when he got to see it is forever in his memory he just finished moving into his college dorm and the building was doing a movie night and it was the 1989 film of Batman when it first came out
Love this! Keatons Batman is having another much deserved retourn! My altime favorite Batman! And Danny Elfmans theme fot him is legendary and unbeatable!
The theme that started it. The hulk Spider-Man and X-men are heavy influenced. You can tell Mr. Elfman pulled from this for Spider-Man and it’s awesome
Still the best. I like what Hans Zimmer and James Newton Howard did to differentiate the dark knight trilogy. Giaccinos work on batman 2022 is truly amazing as well, and a shoutout to the Mask of the Phantasm theme from Shirley Walker!!!
I wonder (and really hope) a version like this is included in the score for The Flash movie. There are a few subtle changes but it's still absolutely identifiable as the original theme
@@1873cb Yeah, since I will not fall for nostalgia bait to go see a patchwork mess thats supposed to be about The Flash. If you were excited about a new solo Keaton Batman film, now that I would get
@rikardandersson5582 Unfortunately this is as close to a solo Keaton movie as we will get, so I'll enjoy it. I'll admit I'm not fussed about any other facets of the story, if Keaton wasn't in it I doubt I would care. Hopefully, as the great man said in Batman Returns "things change" and Keaton gets maybe a Batman Beyond movie (allegedly there was one cancelled but maybe if The Flash is a success it could be resurrected)
@@1873cb False dilemma, this is not a Batman film and hardly a The Flash movie either, its a patchwork mess lacking direction. Why would it be any better than Black Adam just cause Keaton is crammed in there? Where you one of those who geeked out over cramming in Palpatine into The Rise of Skywalker while ignoring lore and context? Since when has Batman been an important part of The Flash's history enough to warrant a part in the first The Flash film? Stop being a consoomer and constantly fall in the trap
apparently from different rumor that was supposed be the batman 3 unused theme maybe one day if Burton decide to make his batman 3 or beyond project that will be used but that will happen only if WB give the green light to Burton!
I have to say thanks for the studios being greedy to catch money on our nostalgia, because now I will hear this music on the theater(The Flash) together with the same version of the Batman on it(Michael Keaton)
This is not bad, too sweeping though. The original theme is perfect as is. I don't expect it to sound exactly like The Sinfonia of London, but still the original is miles better. It's like trying to redo the James Bond Theme. It sounds good, but definitely lacking something.
If Danny Elfman suddenly came to my house and brought his orchestra and belted this out, I am going to enjoy it and appreciate that it even happened. Sometimes it is good to hear a different version instead of the same thing. I agree the original is best, but if he has got a different idea 20+ years later, why not put it into practice?
To the OP - Here's the deal: musicians get tired of playing the same thing over and over and over, night after night after night, so they do things to keep the music fresh for them, such as alternate versions for live performances. As said by others, it's DANNY ELFMAN. Just enjoy the piece and not be too critical. Otherwise, write your own music. 🤷♂️
The definitive Batman theme. Forever and Always. It is P E R F E C T
This and Shirley Walker's Theme
@@jogymogy3691Shirley walkers was PERFECTION. But the 1989 is the true Batman theme
Absoluty agreed!!!!🤟🏼🎸🍻
Batman......Forever

This is the theme from Tim Burton's Batman, NOT from Batman: TAS, they are not the same but they do sound pretty similar and both are awesome.

No matter how many themes of any subsequent Batman films they make, this one will always be THE theme for Batman.
I would’ve cried. Absolutely majestic.
This Batman theme will forever be iconic.

Shirley Walker also composed the Superman TAS theme.😊
@@planet_aldrain224 thanks for the life story!
In my opinion Michael Keaton is Batman and the music score by Danny Elfman just epic one of my favorites from my childhood
I agree 💯%
Better be excited for the flash
@Officer Dibble keaton is back dipshit?
Same, 100% 👍
this should be recorded as an anniversarry exetended version!!
John Williams and Danny Elfman best soundtrack artist of all time.
God this score is so beautiful.
This live version is sublime!
would have had chills hearing and seeing this played out live.
Goosebumps
The Batman theme is brilliant but can’t beat perfection
Rest In Peace, Adam West & Kevin Conroy.
🦇 ❤️
Fantastic theme 👏
Batman Fan 4 ever in life
🤟
My dad is 51 years old this is his favorite Batman movie the story of when he got to see it is forever in his memory he just finished moving into his college dorm and the building was doing a movie night and it was the 1989 film of Batman when it first came out
Nothing in the history of cinema compares to this epic
El himno de Batman. Larga vida a este tema 🦇🦇🦇
I bet this was intense to see in person.
It was one of my favorite moments of the night
From an 80's band (which was awesome) to a huge movie music composer....this guy is one of my favorites!
Gives me goosebumps every time.
This is like Star wars in concert, soooo freaking cool
Wow danny really made a whole new arrangement, almost a rewrite , I can only hope this is his version for the flash
Hearing this feels like having a new Batman movie with Keaton, Burton and Elfman.
Love this! Keatons Batman is having another much deserved retourn! My altime favorite Batman! And Danny Elfmans theme fot him is legendary and unbeatable!
OUTSTANDING
Its really just so beautiful
Best theme, best Batman
You canť beat this original, so perfect.
The theme that started it. The hulk Spider-Man and X-men are heavy influenced. You can tell Mr. Elfman pulled from this for Spider-Man and it’s awesome
Great medley, loved up the cathedral at 3:15
Awesome video, and that’s still an awesome theme music👏🏻💯.
Was there! Was so cold but wrapped one of Danny's t-shirts around my face. Kept me warm!
Who was the conductor?
Still as powerful as ever
It's a fucking EPIC Soundtrack and never equalled.
Fantastic Show.
Well that put a tear in my eye and a giant grin on my face. Masterpiece
Still the best. I like what Hans Zimmer and James Newton Howard did to differentiate the dark knight trilogy. Giaccinos work on batman 2022 is truly amazing as well, and a shoutout to the Mask of the Phantasm theme from Shirley Walker!!!
Man, that gives me goosebumps!!!
I love hearing the little bits of the Spider-Man theme.
In my opinion I think Michael Keaton was and is the best Batman there ever was and will be
the Spidey Theme fits perfectly in this :D
In my mind, this is the intro and theme to the 3rd Burton Batman movie.
How the hell did I miss this?!?!😫
We were there and it was great.
I always appreciate this score, especially considering how Batman TAS samples parts of it to make its own theme.
What a genius he is!
Best soun best bat all heart
Man i'd have passed out if i was there.
3:39 God Bless Danny Elfman. 👍
I would have lost it if I saw this live
My Batman’s theme from my childhood .god can’t wait to fully see Keaton back in the suit
2:29 now, this is the extended version of Batman theme song 🎶
What a masterpiece, unaged.
best BATMAN theme forever.
I was kinda hoping the rest of Danny's Oingo Boingo band mates would make a surprise appearance and they'd all jam to "Weird Science"
Thank you for sharing. Shit like this rarely reach outside of the US...
Good, now Elfman can score Keaton's next Batman project.
legendary
This theme is to Batman what Monty Norman was to James Bond.
The best batman the best batman theme
beautiful

keaton is batman cant wait to see him as batman again (:
There is a spiderman vibe in every Danny Elfman's score. ❤️❤️❤️
Not really. Besides Batman came out in 1989, Spider-Man in 2002.
*Vibe* get it ?
I mean...I guess that tracks.
The dark knight score was great, but this is the definitive batman theme.
Chills
Got to admit this is the definitive batman theme
C H I L L S 🦇
Amazing to see how the music was made for batman in person on CZcams
3:15 Gotham City Cathedral. Transportation for two.
What an interesting arrangement!
This is the best Superman theme. Rip Christopher Reeve
What were you listening to?
apparently from different rumor that was supposed be the batman 3 unused theme maybe one day if Burton decide to make his batman 3 or beyond project that will be used but that will happen only if WB give the green light to Burton!

If Tim Burton made HIS Batman 3 or a Batman Beyond Michael Keaton , this is the theme ❤
Espetacular
Soy Batman
Amazing 😍

It's Danny Elfman. The man never wrote a sour note.

@@josephjester4917 Here's the deal, it's opinion. Move on.
Did anyone else notice The Flash type colors in the video.....
Batman: Tell Gordon I need to talk to him.
Bullock: He’s already expecting you.
Batman: No, not Gordon..”Him.”
(The Joker)
(Batman: The killing joke)
Anyone else stoked for Keatons return as the bat in The Flash? Throw me a like if you are.
😍❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
The only batman I forever 💛🖤💛🖤🦇 know that exists on this earth 🌎 💯‼️
Is this a tease for the Flash movie?
I think this might be for the new Flash movie.
AUDITIONS: "Are you good at planting evidence?" "Do you have a talent for lying, stealing, assaulting?"
HOPEFULS: "Yes"
CASTING: "You got the job"
Don't mess this up FLASH movie.
Where can I get the actual version of this?
Michael Keaton is very much batman, just like Christopher Reeve will always be superman
This is great but Gotham City looked a lot like St. Canard at the very beginning. Not a bad thing.
The DEFINITIVE Batman theme.
vencgence
WOW! I mean what else can I say?
Is BATMAN
I’m not gonna kill you; I want you to do me a favor. I want you to tell all your friends about me.
