The Batman: Michael Giacchino's Score Deserves An Oscar Nomination
Before composing the score for The Batman, Michael Giacchino had scored Matt Reeves’ previous films Cloverfield, Let Me In, Dawn of the Planet of the Apes, and War for the Planet of the Apes, so he was probably a shoo-in for The Batman job no matter what. But Giacchino has a track record for producing memorable superhero themes in an era where they’re hard to come by. Whereas John Williams’ Superman theme and Danny Elfman’s Batman theme can be hummed on a moment’s notice, superhero fans are hard-pressed to remember how any recent comic book movie theme goes (except, at a push, Alan Silvestri’s Avengers theme).
