Yeah I prefer the original one as well a lot better.Other than that,I will say everything else about Batman Begins was much better though except for the theme music of Batman 89.That was really cool.
The Danny Elfman score is incredible...not only in the 1st 2 films but also in B:TAS and it is still used once in a while under Batman in JLU. It's like the Star Wars theme...ingrained with the character.
Well, the Elfman theme, we must remember, had a lot of exposure.
It not only featured in both of Burtons movies, it was played at the start and end of EVERY cartoon episode.
People should really remember that. I don't think, when 89 Batman came out, everyone was raving about the music. They would have only heard it twice.
We are, in a way, biased. I love the Elfman theme, but I know in my mind it's only because I have heard it at least fifty times, over and over, thanks to the movies and the cartoons.
I'm sure that if the Begins music is kept for the sequel, and used in a cartoon series like Elfmans was, it will become just as recognised.
Actually....people were raving about the music back then. I was 19 when that came out and the theme music was just as big as Star Wars was when the first film came out or Jaws was. My friends and I were always doing the Da da da DA da da da...you know what I mean. In fact, when Batman Forever came out, the first thing most people noticed and complained about was the fact that they changed the theme music and went with the Goldenthal score. It just didn't have the same impact and made the Batman fight scenes or any of the action scenes feel wrong and not as exciting. People were always complaining.

People always do.
If they used Elfmans score, people would complain that they didn't make a new one and start over. They'd complain it lacked originality and come up with all sorts of contrived crap, and, as usual, turn a negative aspect into the main focus of the movie, like everybody does.

Yeah so true. 🙂 My favorite part of Batman 89 is the part where he has Vale in his Batmobile and he is driving her to the batcave.Watching him drive by the trees and then into the batcave and you hear the theme song.That theme song is just too cool in that scene.I have popped that tape in the vcr many times before just so I could watch that scene over and over.That is by far easily my favorite scene in the movie.Doesnt hurt that Kim Basinger-who was the best part of that movie, is in that scene either. 😄
