Matt Reeve’s “The Batman“ was a phenomenal take on Gotham’s protector. The tone, the visuals, the casting, the story, all were perfect and that includes Michael Giacchino’s gripping, mesmerizing score. It cast the perfect atmosphere for Robert Pattinson and Zoe Kravitz to take the viewer into Gotham like never before. Personally, we feel that Warner Bros should just give Reeve’s the keys to Gotham and say, “It’s yours, do as you please.” because it is beyond evident that Reeves and Pattinson “get it” when it comes to all things Batman.
Mondo released a wonderful colored vinyl for the score and since we are suckers for Batman AND colored vinyl, we had to get it. Check it out below and use the link to grab yours before darkness creeps in from the corners of your home, suffocating you with silence and the wonder of… what’s out there.
Mondo, in partnership with WaterTower Music, is proud to present Michael Giacchino’s absolutely brilliant score to Matt Reeves’ highly anticipated THE BATMAN. Featuring the music of Academy, Emmy and Grammy Award-winning composer Michael Giacchino, whose credits feature some of the most popular and acclaimed film projects in recent history, including “The Incredibles,” “Coco,” “Jojo Rabbit,” “Ratatouille,” “Star Trek,” “Jurassic World,” “Rogue One: A Star Wars Story,” “Spider-Man: Homecoming” and “War for the Planet of the Apes.” It’s the fifth film Reeves and Giacchino have collaborated on.
Giacchino proves himself once more as one of the greatest living composers by introducing a powerful and instantly canonized new theme to one of the most musically iconic superheroes. When director Matt Reeves heard the theme for the first time, he was with film producer Dylan Clark. “I was blown away!” He exclaimed. “It was so emotional. The two of us literally cried…it was amazing.”
Though it’s not only the world’s greatest detective who emerges with a new theme – Selina Kyle / Catwoman’s new string heavy theme is slinky and haunted like that of a classic noir’s femme fatale. And Giacchino’s take on The Riddler is far more haunted, accompanied by the Tiffin Boys choir, a truly terrifying and dread-inducing motif for one of the scariest takes on a Gotham villain to date.
With nearly two hours of score, housed on three discs, featuring all new artwork by Henry Abrams, and pressed on 180 gram vinyl (color exclusive to the Mondo webstore, also available on 180 gram solid color vinyl)
