Author: Randy Andrews October 8, 2021 Duration: 1:46:45
The second episode of SOUNDTRACK ALLEY here on CINEMATIC SOUND RADIO is a discussion between Myself and Erik Woods about the film and score to the 1992 Tim Burton film, BATMAN RETURNS, which was a sequel of the smash-hit BATMAN released in 1989. In the film, Batman must prevent the Penguin from killing all of Gotham City’s firstborn sons, while dealing with Catwoman, who seeks vengeance against Max Shreck, a corrupt tycoon who seeks to bring Gotham City under his control. The original score for the film was composed by Danny Elfman, conducted by Jonathan Sheffer and performed by The Hollywood Symphony Orchestra. The expanded release of the score was produced by La La Land Records. We hope you enjoy the discussion, and the music Cinematic Sound Radio Fanfare and Theme by David Coscina | Soundtrack Alley Theme by Alexander Schiebel | Bumper voice artist: Tim Burden
