| Abstract | This book examines Elfman's scoring technique and provides a detailed analysis and commentary on the Batman score. The film is discussed in the context of its comic-book origins and the fantasy-action genre, setting it and its score against late 1970s and early 1980s equivalents such as Star Wars and Superman, and revealing how Burton and Elfman changed the cinematic idea of a superhero. The book also explores Elfman's musical background, his place within the film music industry, and the controversy following the release of Batman. |
