The Batman (2022) - Soundtrack Collection

Michael Giacchino's score for The Batman captures and embodies the film's brooding gothic-noir vibe perfectly. There are, at least, three separate themes at play in his score. First is the dark and brooding theme for Batman himself. Second is the creepy and almost lullaby like theme for the Riddler. Third is the slinking, slithering theme for Catwoman.

One might not have left the theater whistling or humming any of those themes, but hearing them on the soundtrack returns you to the dark and borderline spooky world of The Batman.

Then there's the action cue Highway to the Anger Zone, which underplays the almost monster movie style reveal of the batmobile, followed by an almost apocalyptic car chase with the Penguin. Great stuff.

Now I want to watch The Batman again, go figure.
