After that, I don't care that much. I found Kamen's score always to be a bit too lacking in character and too fragmented for its own good. Also the lack of a memorable theme is a detriment.

Jay 37,355 Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 13 hours ago, Matt C said: Batman - Danny Elfman The OST still sounds really vibrant (gives Spider-Man 2 a run for its money), and Sinfonia of London's performance on the score is second to none. It's such an enjoyable listen, especially "Batman to the Rescue", "Descent Into Mystery" and "Finale" (one of Elfman's best pieces ever written). For it being one of Elfman's earlier scores, he hits a home run for his first comic-book film. Just a wonderful score. Agreed, Finale from that score is one of my favorite film score pieces ever! 11 hours ago, Koray Savas said: ? Koray, I don't understand your question. Can you elaborate?

You're going to get a kick out of this: both those cues were officially released digitally in 2013 for the 20th anniversary of the film. 22 hours ago, Incanus said: He just repurposed his music from Mr. Holland's Opus for that Logan and Rogue theme! Well, what do you know? I'm going to have to seek out a copy of Mr. Holland's Opus now. The Logan & Rogue theme has always been my favorite part of Kamen's X-Men score. It's the kind of scoring too many films lack these days! Particularly the (superhero) blockbusters. Where have all the properly romantic love themes gone?!
