Edmilson 6,118 Posted August 29, 2022 Share Posted August 29, 2022 Someone posted on Reddit a video from the recording sessions: It sounds a little generic, but I won't judge the score yet based on a 13-second video. Also, it is interesting that even now, post-Covid, they're still recording the orchestra separately (first strings, then brass, etc.) JTWfan77 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought a lot of composers record in sections so they can adjust the music during edit easier? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaaaackified 70 Posted August 29, 2022 Share Posted August 29, 2022 found the source of this vid, this is actually Benjamin Wallfisch conducting the string section to perform a Happy Birthday to the director, the actual Happy Birthday part is after this intro I believe the video was first posted by the director's sister, Barbara (who is also the producer of Flash) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But chances are, they are striping the orchestra for mixing purposes. They’ll probably make it sound much less like an orchestra in post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fargo 283 Posted May 12 Share Posted May 12 World’s Collide was… not much of anything. Run was slightly better I guess. If the point of releasing the singles is to get hyped for the movie/full score, not sure why they’d pick such generic set piece tracks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DangerMotif 985 Posted May 23 Share Posted May 23 Really great movie. The score is good but more heavier on color rather than melodies. Outside of Keaton’s theme which is used very well there isn’t really anything memorable theme wise. The two track already released are cover the 2 biggest scenes in the film.

There really isn’t a theme for him or supergirl, just drums. The usage of themes in this film is odd. The score works but they even use Elfman’s theme in the strings in scenes that don’t relate to his batman at all The score in this shot in particular was awesome. This album can be really fun if they include the Elfman theme. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thestat 310 Posted May 24 Share Posted May 24 Wallfisch has all the ability in the world to make this as great as can be. I worry about the WB influence. Now that Gunn is in charge, I expect that they will allow for more creativity in the score department. But it does sound like a lot of this was done well in advance of the Gunn takeover......I just hope they do not process the shit out of the orchestra. The 'theme' in the clip is not great. Pedantic. I hope Wallfisch can do better - he composed the score for my ringtone with this magnificent track 0:59-1:20, amazing work: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saulocf 72 Posted May 29 Share Posted May 29 I’ve watched the movie yesterday in an advance screening here in Toronto, and Elfmans Batman theme gets a lot of play time (it kind of becomes the movies main theme once he enters the picture). A lot of direct quotes from the 89 score but also some cue arrangements. The movie is fine but nothing special unfortunately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edmilson 6,118 Posted May 31 Share Posted May 31 "I am Batman" is okay, a decently re-orchestrated version of Elfman's Bat-material. But "Sounds About Right Bruce" is really bad, sounds like Wallfisch was forced to stay as close to the Fury Road temp track as possible. It got the same uninspired string writing and the insufferable drums from hell from that score. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thestat 310 Posted May 31 Share Posted May 31 That actually sounds amazing - very very glad that the mix is right and the orchestra comes through and it does not sound like 'junkie xl brass' or whatever ridiculous thing he was trying to copyright.
