KZread's compression really hit this video hard so be sure to watch on the highest possible settings! As mentioned in the video, Warner Bros. made me cut out the last two minutes of the video due to copyright. So I'll just type out what I was going to say in the paragraphs below. My final thoughts were in reference to this scene: kzread.info/dash/bejne/paOrl9KOgpe4hsY.html (Because I guess OTHER KZread channels are allowed to use the footage but not me huh?) *Oddly enough, one of the most important aspects of Micheal Giacchino's Batman theme, is when he chooses NOT to use it. The final time we hear it is when the caped crusader cuts the power line and falls into the water. This is the first time in the movie we seem him saving lives as Batman without punching somebody, and this is why Giacchino's music sounds so dramatic as he performs the act. His life isn't in danger, but he's symbolically killing his 'Vengeance' persona. The same persona that inspired the Riddler, and contributed to Gotham's perpetual problems.* *Once he rises from the water (pretty obviously mirroring a baptism,) we hear nothing that even resembles his motif. Instead the soundtrack becomes gentle and soft as we see him offering help to the people of Gotham. Vengeance is gone and we never hear his theme ever again. Instead, we're now hearing music for this new superhero that has learned to punish crime while also inspiring hope. We're finally hearing the music of The Batman.* Apologies that I had to cut that segment out, but then again it really isn't my fault so... anyway if you want to see more content like this please be sure to like, comment and subscribe! I hope you all enjoyed the video, and I'll see you in the next one ❤ My edit of The Batman's theme: kzread.info/dash/bejne/Z6OGu7JyZa3edJc.html

One line I remember form a obscure comic I cannot even remember the name of. It was a parody of DC comics at the time, about 12 years ago. The gist was a bunch of villains got together to plan a major heist and they were trying to decide where to start it. None of them were big names. One of them said 'Gotham' and everyone 'else' shook their heads. Being a fool, he damned why and everyone turned to him and spoke in unison. 'Do not anger the Batman!" I wish I could find that comic now.

“Does this make you feel safe” is something I never thought to ask myself when listening to this theme, but now that you have asked and I’ve given the song another good listen I can tell you that I truly do feel the fear of vengeance. This theme is incredible for The Batman and fits his darker more revenge-centric approach to “heroism” perfectly. I’m hoping in The Batman 2 we get a theme more in the likes of Danny Elfman’s Batman theme, since that one is really similar to Giachinno’s just a lot more triumphant and heroic in tone. Great video and analysis into an incredible piece of music.

It would make narrative sense as well. Throughout the film, he’s clearly disturbed by the cult-following the Riddler had built up, and Catwoman expresses surprise that he and Riddler aren’t allies, since they both target the guilty. When he finally catches the Riddler, Batman learns that he himself had indirectly inspired him and his followers to become killers, from the Riddler’s surprise at his disapproval of his methods to one of the cultists in the arena quoting his “vengeance” line. By the end of the movie, Batman’s realised where he had been going wrong and decides to focus more on helping the innocent than just punishing the guilty.

We don't deserve how good this movie is

One of the things i find so beautiful with the actual theme for the film is that it introduces us to the track with the main vengeance notes for like a minute but then it stops, introducing us now to the bruce wayne or "hope" theme. It has more notes, more feelings, it grows, it tells a story, it tells us that he is a good person, that he wants to help and make things better. Surely enough that's the theme we end with at the finale of the movie, but in the track it diminishes and transitions back into the vengeance theme for nearly 3 minutes, growing each time, with more intensity and more fear. It tells us that with every blow he throws, deep down, he believes he's helping, he's honoring his parent's legacy, but on the outside we see the truth. We see the results. We see that he is not yet cleansing Gotham the way he wants to, and because of it, he's angry, just as the theme rises and rises until it can't anymore and ends, fading slowly back into the piano again, as if after a fight against some criminals, Bruce is exhaling after expelling all his anger. Giacchino truly gave us the best Batman theme to date.

It's really just four notes, just a simple "dun dun dunn dun dunnnnnnn" and Giacchino made it sound so freaking epic! Gawd Dayum I love this theme, it does make you feel like Batman when you hum it for no reason. Makes everything seem more important and dramatic.

Batman’s theme here is so unique to a superhero. Can we even call him a superhero in this iteration? There’s a strong vibe of villainy and cruelty, it is sinister yet at the same time the guitar riffs that are played occasionally make it sound western, like a sheriff or a rogue vigilante. It perfectly encapsulates a gothic and frightening Batman whilst still keeping a bit of his heroism being the unofficial Sheriff of Gotham.

You guys complain that the music in BvS makes Batman sound like a straight up villain when that’s _the entire point of the movie._ Bruce isn’t in his right mind throughout that whole movie. He’s old, angry, and hopeless. So the music accompanies him as such.

I've recently figured out why I liked the piece so much, and it is because both it and the imperial march were inspired by Chopin's Funeral March

OMG I missed you

The timing between the music and your analysis is absolutely perfect and gave me chills.

These video essays you make are the true masterpieces. Your works are some pleasure to watch; Awesome and amazing stuff.

I always thought the music was a master piece but I didn't realize it could be explained as well as you have here.

Nailed it. I was wondering how Michael giacchino would portray the batman music and themes. He didn't disappoint

not to mention the geniusness behind the riddler's theme! the Ave Maria theme but played in minor key basically epitomises his goal -- to gain purity through his own twisted ways of ridding the corrupt

Because this movie was the worst first date ever and it was (probably) the biggest factor costing me a relationship. That is how I will forever remember this song 🥲

I would occasionally play this video while playing Arkham Knight. That includes trying slowly to walk and punch enemies to the music.

The Batman 2022 music score is a chef's kiss

I also remember seeing someone else comment beautifully, that the theme is the same motif just repeated and getting louder which is perfect for Batman. He's not a ghost or a ghoul or anything hugely complicated. He's just a man with a clear goal walking slowly and getting closer.

Wow this video is so beautifully put. This theme is amazing and what you said makes it click so much more, it’s not a theme song for us to enjoy. It’s for the criminals to fear. This iteration of Batman is possibly the most brutal and real in terms of pacing and combat, this theme is perfect for it.

its really mindblowing that the theme is JUST 2 NOTES at its base! 😳😳

I love how you point out how the main theme sounds like it's meant for the villain, and not the hero! The idea that Batman is like the monster in a horror movie is really unique!

Absolutely loved this review. Always thought that every single note in The Batman's Theme impacted me so much in the cinema. Couldn't sleep that night. Michael Giacchino is an absolute music genius and you have depicted exactly just that.

Great analysis, man. That "Vengeance has ariived" at 2:06 was hard-hitting. But I disagree that there's no other theme of Batman which portrays him as a villain. I don't know what you think about BvS but although Batfleck was its protagonist, but Superman was its hero and Batfleck was one of the villains. That film and Batman's theme intended to show that this character is not THE Batman anymore (like Superman wasn't THE Superman YET). He's not that hero amymore, he's lost his path. And that film was telling us that Batman is actually an entity which is supposed to be feared first.

I swear this movie is the purest distillation of art. And your commentary made it so much better, I knew he was being violent prusuing vengeance, and that in the end he learned that he had not just to punish criminals but save people. But know, thanks to your commentary (I even read the pinned comment), it makes me realize that the reason why the Vengeance approach didn't work was because, yes, he was beating criminals up, but the was fixing the chaos, he was just adding to that chaos, as an opposing force to evil, but what is chaos? Lack of order. With no order, what even is being "an opposing force" aren't all forces opposing each other like wind currents in a tornado for example? So he just added more chaos. But know, he knows that he should not be vengeance, but a symbol of hope to people, to yes, defeat all of the villains but not out of the hatred for them, but out of the kindess and love for the citizens of Gotham, aiding them and showing them that a bright future can be reached, and that he is here to fight for them from the shadows :') 🖤 I love this man, thanks for improving the movie for me (I didn't even think that was possible), and in conjunction with the movie, you even changed my perspective on life a little bit :')

Please never stop doing this videos!!!!!

I like how you tried giving the score a narrative reason as to why it’s so repetitive. That was dope. Maybe the reason why it’s so ingrained in my mind is because of how simple it is.

Damn, just want to point out how good the transitions between songs are that you don't even notice them. As always, the commentaries are a masterclass. Your Electro video basically changed my mind on that theme, though for this one, I already loved it the moment I heard it in cinemas Probably my favourite parts is at 1:55 when we hear a snippet of Bruce Wayne's theme for the first time in the movie. On first viewing, it adds that extra layer of tension and anxiety which makes the theme sound like a contained explosion moments before release. But it gets better, imo. Knowing that’s Bruce’s theme and hearing it throughout the film when he’s portrayed as gentle, vulnerable, or heroic injects a human element into the theme. When we hear the motif again, we're also reminded that he’s a person, a child. A child who has endured unspeakable pain. Which is scarier, because now he's a ruthless freak who will bring that pain down on others Or idk maybe I'm just hearing things

Question: Do you plan on covering Man of Steel some day? Also, fantastic vid as always man👌

Man! You summarized exactly what the movie made me feel. I remember Matt Reeves talked about how the music was made before they started shooting the movie.

Holy shit. Your analysis on his quest being flawed because no matter how much he does the city only gets worse was something i had never noticed. Obviously all the villains say that to him. But they are villains. Their word doesnt carry much weighted truth. And comparing the songs repetition to batmans unwillingness to change his approach is something i had never thought of. Well done. Omg.

Keep doing what you do man this stuff is educational. Personally i never knew these deep meanings behind these soundtracks. Nice job man

That tension in the music building up as the batman came out from shadows was perfectly edited. It felt like they are introducing a monster.

I saw the movie again after seeing this and I appreciate every detail you gave. This explanation was so amazing, thank you!

HELL YEAHHH! This movie was great, the soundtrack was great, and this video was great! Well worth the wait! even if someone doesn't let you post some of it...

I always loved soundtracks and thought I was good at listening to them indepth but you take it to a whole other level, I loved when you asked if I felt safe because it clicked that I most certainly don't feel safe listening to this, infact I feel a little scared. Great video, I hope someday I can analyze music like you.

Nothing much here.... just pure goosebumps

the point about the repetitive motif never finding resolution and batman that cannot accept his vengeance theory is wrong is fantastic. hats off that you pointed out how Giacchino linked such a simple music theory canon and character's line.

It's been a year but still i can't remove this from my head.
