Released June 23, 1989, Warner Bros. Pictures’ “Batman” was the top-grossing film that year and has remained a fan-favourite for more than three decades. The film was composer Danny Elfman’s first collaboration with director Tim Burton and the score was later nominated for a Grammy award. Elfman’s “Batman Theme” has become an iconic piece, evoking the DC Super Hero for many generations.
