Continuing the second part of his Batman 89 Review, host Alex Robson takes a look at the many scores for the Joker in this movie and the love themes that Vicki Vale has with not just Bruce Wayne, but the Joker as well.
Alex compares the eerie scores of the Joker to another famous deranged killer, as he takes a look at Bernard Herrmann's Psycho score and discovers many similarities between the two.
Alex also takes a look at the bombastic and bouncy waltz that Elfman composes for the Joker and compares it to a very famous waltz that's similar in composition and structure.
The love theme for Joker and Vicki Vale is a song that most will recognise, but maybe not realise is actually in this film, and plays like a lullaby when the two cross paths. Whilst the love theme for Bruce Wayne and Vicki Vale is almost a direct copy of another love theme in an Alfred Hitchcock film, also composed by Bernard Herrmann.
It's another episode full of music, facts, and discoveries that even the biggest Batman fan probably doesn't know. Enjoy!
