For anyone who hasn't heard the score to Batman Live then here is almost 6 minutes of it as a mp3

I think it is phenomenal. What are your thoughts?

I like it but it seems like it would be more in place in a Harry Potter-type film. Or a sequel to Van Helsing.

It's a bit generic, it sounds like your typical Hollywood score, maybe some John Williams influences in places. Not bad by any means (and I think there are very subtle references to more "Batmany" music between 1:20 - 1:50), but it doesn't do it for me. To tell you the truth, this pleasing to the ear but all too generic score illustrates why I am very happy with Hans Zimmer doing most of the music in the films.

BUT...I'll wait to listen to the whole thing before I pass judgment, and it might work great with the visuals.

I agree on the John Williams influence...probably why I love it. It's very much like late 80's Williams.
