Batman Begins Soundtrack Thread

[TheShadow]

Well, I bought this off of iTunes.

I must say that I love the music. Very moody, epic, and atmospherical. I won't go too in depth because I have a big test tomorrow, but there is one thing I'd like to point out...

People seem to think that the main theme was the one featured in the U.S. trailer (right at 1:45 "THIS SUMMER") and it was also played towards the end of the Smallville promo. However, if you're planning on get this, keep in mind that that is not the theme that occurs frequently in the soundtrack. In fact, it's mainly featured for a bit on the tenth track.

The melody that repeats the most on the soundtrack...is actually only two notes long (and yes you can make a theme out of just two notes. example: Jaws). These are mainly two big brass swells. If you are able to rewatch the Smallville promo, check out the part where Bruce Wayne encounters the bats in the cave. That two note tune is what is played most frequently on the soundtrack. I'm not saying that it's the main theme because I honestly would have to see it fit in context.

Does nobody have the soundtrack to this great movie?

[Tragic Past]

I have the soundtrack

[TheShadow]

So, um...do you like it? lol

I found it weird how it was all edited together. For example, "Macrotus" contains all of the music played in the following scenes:
- Thomas Wayne rescues Bruce
- Thomas talks to Bruce in the bedroom
- Thomas talks to Bruce on the monorail
- Older Bruce being tested by fear gas in the monastery
- Bruce talks to Rachel before Joe Chill's trial
- Joe Chill's hearing in which Bruce walks out.

Talk about out of order...

Does anyone know which track is from the end of the film and during the credits?

[TheShadow]

The very last scenes (from Rachel visiting Bruce to Batman jumping off the GCPD rooftop) are in Corynorhinus (see if you can catch the subtle cue played when the Joker card is revealed).

The end credits music is not on the soundtrack, although it has sections from "Epstesicus" and "Corynorhinus." It also contains music from Batman's escape from Arkham, Alfred's rescue of Bruce in Wayne Manor, and a full blown out version of the Batman themes, both unused (the cue played in the trailer after "A legend, Mr. Wayne) and used.

[UrbanLegend]

Yeah, that was the only downside of the soundtrack was it wasn't in the same order as the movie was.

i like the soundtrack, its very well done, i just wish they included the end credits. batman escaping arkham moment is not on the sountrack and i was upset, so i had to go on SSH and ask someone if they had the end credits somewhere, and they did! this one guy had all 10 minutes of the end credits for d/l and its awsome! better then probably most of the actual soundtrack, lol. anyways, i dont have a link to it, but ill see what i can find. i still prefer elfmans awsome batman theme to this one, but this ones alright. next movie, they MUST have a theme.

[TheShadow]

Yeah, I got the end credits music from lurking there. Great stuff.

I added it to my Batman Begins playlist and burned the soundtrack on a CD so my soundtrack could feel more complete.

The soundtrack was very good,and I must say that the song titles(named after bat species) was brilliant.Now comes the part everyone suspected.Can anyone give me the address to the site from which you downloaded the end credits music???

[TheShadow]

I found it through browsing the SHH boards. You can lurk over there and search for it...


....or PM me your e-mail address.

[gianakin]

I got it from SHH.Thank you,the track rules,the album is poorer without it.I wonder why the let out such a good track!Although rumors are around about a 2-disc BB Soundtrack...
