UPDATED AND EXPANDED VERSION: kzread.info/dash/bejne/nXdms7qgZ7Coc9Y.html (Yes, Dark Knight Returns and The Batman (2004) are included) This video's popular again. Some tidbits: - This was made pre Snyder cut. The new Justice League theme isn't included because of this. - Left out a lot of the animated adaptations outside of the Animated Series since there is a ton. If I update this, I'll probably include more of them. - Was going to include Lego Batman, but didn't know what part of the score to include, so I left it out. - Batman and Robin was left out due to poor audio quality. If I update this, I'd probably change a few things + add some more Batman themes.

Small recommendation if you do wanna add the Batman & Robin music, you could buy the soundtrack off Ebay as a DVD for like 4 dollars and then rip the song off the disk. Check the law to make sure it's legal first lol. It's probably under Fair Use, but who knows.

You can argue with me, but to me, this is proof that Batman has almost never had a bad theme. Of course, some really good Batman themes were left out, but that's okay. Each theme is very fitting to each respective Batman and movie; however, you cannot give one Batman the theme of another Batman. Joss Whedon made that mistake in my opinion.

I find it interesting how you can see how batman has evolved through his themes, the 1960's theme is very campy and upbeat while as you go down the line it shifts to a more kind of heroic theme and then to modern day with the slower and grittier theme

The fact that so many musicians incorporate the 89 theme in to their Batman projects tells us everything we need to know about that movie.

Danny elfman 1989 will be always the most memorable batman theme

Danny Elfman's theme from Burton's 89 Batman film is the theme that I associate with Batman. Hearing it referenced in Batman Returns and Forever AND even in JL is top notch, plus its the theme for the OG Lego Batman game and the 2nd one too if I'm not mistaken. Sure, its more heroic rather than gritty in nature like Batman's character, but none can deny, Elfman was given simple directions and the man delivered tenfold what was asked. Some people have managed to remix it into some of the more modern themes and it still fits well.

LEGO Batman and The Dark Knight are what truly made me a Batman fan and were my first introduction to the franchise. That’s why the Batman ‘89 and The Dark Knight themes always hit the home run for me. Edit: Arkham City has got to be one of my favorite video games of all time, so I would have to say that theme is also AMAZING.

1989 and the animated series theme will still be the most iconic for me.

The Batman theme is my favorite but I always will love the 1989 theme.

Matt Reeves Batman theme is the BEST one!

Let’s be honest…1989, BTAS, and batman beyond. these at least for me, hold a special place in my heart

The "The Batman" theme is my favorite now. The others might be more complicated but this can be so iconic and yet so simple. It was so good to hear it on the movie theater. I really love the animated series/ mask of the phantasm and Batman Beyond too. The Beyond one really gets on my weak spot for rock music lol

Arkham City sounds like it took inspiration from all previous theme's to make the perfect Batman theme. I'm also a huge fan of the Dark Knight Returns theme.

To anyone paying attention to the Batman symbol, watch closely how the "head" of the Batman symbol slowly disappears through every symbol progressively getting smaller and smaller until it is non-existent 🤣

Nothing beats the trumpets themselves shouting “Batman!”

As much as I love the 1989 theme, I have to say the 1966 theme is pretty awesome!

Man, the transitions are gold, sometimes it felt like you were listening to one song, bravo!
