  1. Great discussion! But I think Danny Elfman did a great score for Spider-Man. It captures the sensation of swinging from building to building and spider crawling.

    I love the Tim Burton Batman film just for its unique take. I agree that the Joker stole the film but overall it was one of the more fun, strong Batman films.

  3. I think the two Tim burton movies were better than the three Nolan Movies…..the best being Batman Returns.
