Top 10 Greatest Batman Themes of all Time
Ойын-сауық
I have limited the list to one theme per franchise (unless the composer changes throughout). For this reason, it's possible you may find only one track from the Dark Knight trilogy (or anything of the sort), whereas for something like the Arkham video game series, possibly more than one (as composers for that series are constantly changing).

I'm not sure if 'Beautiful Lie' counts as a Batman theme, but if it does, I personally prefer that. I feel like 'Men are Still Good' is more of a Superman theme, given how half of it is from Man of Steel.

Kian B i was actually kinda torn between the two, since theyre both quite similar, but i ended up choosing “Men Are Still Good” because certain parts of it just screamed Batman to me, more so than beautiful lie. It had a dark sombre tone to it that “Beautiful Lie” lacked. But still, I love both songs very much, and i do think that Beautiful Lie is a more fitting batman theme for the DC extended universe.

@@eXquisiteGaming110 But...You chose a predominantly SUPERMAN theme for a Batman theme..... Luthor and Superman's themes leave Batman's in the back ground. So it's not really a Batman theme fro that movie. Cut the loud intro to Beautiful Lie and add the first 58 seconds to their war here and you're got a pretty great Batman theme.
