I’m a little torn here. On the one hand, I am thrilled that this music got a release. Shirley Walker and her team wrote some wonderful themes for this awesome show, and until this album, you could only hear some of them on the ST for Batman: Mask of the Phantasm. On the other hand, this is a TV show album, which means the cues are short and here at SST you can only hear one at a time. Mayhap it would have been better to rip them as long suites, but there are legal reasons that didn’t happen and honestly, it may not have helped that much. If you want really satisfying arrangements of Walker’s music, you may want to stick with Phantasm. But this is still a good album, and here are some reasons why.
You will not want for awesome Batman themes here. Danny Elfman’s theme is represented in the “Main Title,” complete with thunderclap! The theme is played again in the “End Titles.” Even better is the “Alternate Main Title,” which displays Walker’s Batman theme — my favorite. It is this theme that dominates the album; almost any track will play it at least once. (They mesh, briefly, in Track 15 on Disc 1.)
The whole album gives us the wonderfully old-fashioned, swashbuckling signature sound for the series. Here are some highlights, by episode:
“Christmas with the Joker” is pretty much what you’d expect. The tracks alternate crazy Christmas music with more serious action. Good holiday stuff here.
“Two-Face” I have to recommend for Walker’s eerie, eight-note Two-Face theme. There’s some good emotional writing, too.
“Joker’s Favor” contains not just the Joker’s theme, but a bouncy, sad/funny theme for Charlie, the poor schlimazel who winds up the Joker’s victim in the episode and eventually turns the tables. It’s a lot of fun.
“Perchance to Dream” was a favorite episode of mine, and the music has elements of sinister fantasy that remind me of The Twilight Zone in places. Recommended, especially Track 27, which contains the climactic battle.
“Birds of a Feather” featured the Penguin, and I recommend the score here for its operatic style. No vocals, I promise.
Request: In addition to the stuff mentioned above, try “Gotham City Overture.” I don’t normally like long tracks, but almost every theme from the show is represented here. My only qualm is that it doesn’t end so much as peter out.
Avoid: The music for “The Last Laugh” is all weird strings and accordion. It doesn't fit with the rest of the album, and just rubs me the wrong way.
