47. Batman (1989)
Danny Elfman is a veritable giant of cinematic music, and one of his greatest scores can be heard throughout Tim Burton’s 1989 Batman. ‘The Batman Theme’ has become synonymous with the Caped Crusader over the years. Elfman managed to tap into the crazy world of Burton and the darkness of Batman beautifully with this score, and he also did an amazing job creating music to match up with the Joker’s obscure antics and outlandish personality.

Elfman was worried as he never worked on a production this large in both budget and scale. Also, producer Jon Peters was skeptical of hiring him for the score, he was later convinced that he made the right decision when he heard the opening number.
