I've always felt BB's weakest aspect was its score. It's practically non-existent, and that two-note Batman theme just doesn't cut it. Ever since it came out I've wanted to suggest an edit replacing the music with approptiate selections from Danny Elfman's Batman and Batman Returns soundtracks. Edward Scissorhands and Sleepy Hollow might also come in handy in filling out a new score. I know many people will say, "The music is perfect, the old stuff wouldn't fit!" Many of my friends have told me that very thing, and maybe they have a point. But imagine the end of BB after Batman says, "And you'll never have to," and jumps off the roof accompanied by "Batman Theme Reprise" from the B89 soundtrack. Goosebumps. Anyway, this is a dream project of mine that's on my to-do list when one day I have the time and resources to make fan edits myself. Of course if anyone would like to try their hand at it in the meantime they'd get no complaints from me.

WHAT?!?! That film has an AMAZING score. I own the soundtrack cd, and it is anything but weak. It's quite spooky. The best part is that it doesn't rely so much on blaring themes as it does in subtle backgrounds and undertones, resulting in a much more effective score.
