This song is dark, it's operatic, it's mysterious. I could go on, but in short:

This song IS the night.

This song IS vengeance.

This. Song. IS. Batman.

Danny Elfman, I love you and all...but damn... Walker's theme blows your's out of the water.

well it's for certain, i was able to watch the hairs on arm stand on end because of how chilling this is.

[loneotaku]

To me, this is and always will be the theme of Batman.

@ILovemylips3 i agree entirely but i think that the movies are trying to show batmans strengths and weaknesses not his villains. but thats my opinions.

[Japheth19]

I just want to blast this song out to the world!

This is some of the most haunting chorus in any song I've heard.

What the best animated Batman films have in common is that the main villains were victimized in some manner by situations relating to Batman himself.Andrea had little choice in the matter.She could not return to Wayne.His destiny was sealed within the mask. She could either have her revenge,or let the murderers live.Jason was brutalized during Batman's absence.He could not understand why Bruce would not feel a moral duty to avenge him for what happened. Tim in ROTJ got the worst of it*chills*.

(Further continued) Dark Knight Rises will probably be phenomenal, but it seems to suffer from what I consider to be live action Batman cliches. Which post-West live action movies didn't have big vehicular chases, a rubber Batsuit, and a large scale threat to Gotham's citizens? Maybe it's just me, but a part of me would rather have a main villain who is a partial victim of circumstances, rather than someone actually choosing that identity.

(continued) because the target of the villains is not Gotham, but the character of Batman himself. TDK fiddled with this, but the Joker seemed to be multitasking. Batman is one of MANY people he attempted to corrupt (some successfully.) In Phantasm and even Red Hood.Batman isn't driven about saving a city, but saving a loved one. This makes his failure all that more personal.He really does not have much of a reason to go on. And yet he does forfeiting a life of happiness for the better good.
