Music of the Knight: Analyzing Danny Elfman's Score for Batman (1989)

[BatmAngelus]

I like a lot of superhero scores and James Bond scores.  Elfman's work on Batman, of course.  Jerry Goldsmith had a great, underrated theme for The Shadow.  And I love John Barry's stuff for Bond.  One of his themes for A View to a Kill was great, even though I really don't like the film. 

Elmer Bernstein's Magnificent Seven is great.

Georges Delerue's beautiful Camille theme basically made Godard's Le Mepris worth the first viewing.
I also love Ennio Morricone's themes off of a CD I have.  I need to watch more of the films with his scores, though.  Some beautiful stuff.

About screenplays, how long does it take to do a draft for a typical writer?

[BatmAngelus]

It depends.  Last year, I had a class that took pretty much the whole school year to finish a draft.

Then this semester, I had to write a draft in six weeks.
I'd say usually a month or two.

Didn't know that. I guess you're the one to go to for script questions!

BatMangelus, you are one smart guy if I do say so myself! I hope your career works out for you!

[Gotham Knight]

Jerry Goldsmith had a great, underrated theme for The Shadow. 

Agreed

Thanks.

I am another person that truly adores the score for The Shadow, I feel it is truly overlooked in the comic book/superhero film world completly. Well I feel that film is also greatly overlooked as it is one of my favorites and made me realize Baldwin could've been a great Bruce Wayne and Batman if ever considered for the role.
