Hit: 5 Stars
When "Batman Beyond" premiered in 1999, the creators' intention was to reject the iconography and conventions that defined both Batman and the successful "Batman: The Animated Series". No where was this more evident than in the musical style. The pilot episode opened with Bruce Wayne's last night out as Batman and used the familiar orchestral score that had been a foundation of BTAS. However when the jump to the future occurred, the music shifted to a techno-driven, hard rock style. It could have backfired along with the show itself, but viewers embraced it as a defining element of the Tomorrow Knight.
Series composer Kristopher Carter handles the musical chores for the series first (and only) direct-to-video film, "Batman Beyond: Return of the Joker". Carter injects the same techno-rock combination that defined the world of Terry McGinnis and Neo-Gotham. However, the film's premise -- and larger budget -- provided a unique opportunity for the composer. The film focuses on the Joker's reappearance in future Gotham and chronicles the fates of familiar BTAS characters. The story is thus half "Batman Beyond" and half "BTAS" and the music reflects this.
In addition to the rock elements, Carter returns to the traditional orchestral style of BTAS, even using Shirley Walker's distinct Batman leitmotif. The result is an expert melding of two different styles that give the film an epic scale and magnificent score. In a way, it serves as a musical bridge between these two eras of the DC Animated Universe and makes me hope that future releases are forthcoming.
