La-La Land Records continues their history with Gotham City's Caped Crusader on CD today, with the release of the complete score to 1995's Batman Forever.

The third Bat-film sees Batman - the vigilante alter-ego of millionaire playboy Bruce Wayne (Val Kilmer) - square off against not one but two villains: Harvey "Two-Face" Dent (Tommy Lee Jones), the former district attorney whose facial disfiguration leads to a dual personality, and Edward Nygma (Jim Carrey), a disgraced employee of Wayne Enterprises who invents a brain-wave-stealing device as the brain-teaser-obsessed Riddler. But Batman doesn't go it alone this time, after taking in a young rebellious orphan (Chris O'Donnell) who becomes his iconic sidekick, Robin.

After two wildly successful films directed by Tim Burton and starring Michael Keaton as the Dark Knight, Burton moved to the producer's chair, welcoming blockbuster director Joel Schumacher to the fold. This trip to Gotham was far different than previous visits onscreen, owing less to the gritty stories of both early and recent Batman comic books and more to the campy 1960s television show. The garish, neon color palette and loud costumes - best known and laughed over for a Bat-suit with nipples sculpted into the latex armor (reportedly an homage to Greek statues) - was a bold choice that did not sit well with all fans, but the film was a box office smash.

After two Bat-scores by Danny Elfman, Elliot Goldenthal, a student of Aaron Copland fresh off an Oscar nod for Interview with the Vampire and moody action scores for Alien³ and Demolition Man, was given the reins for the picture. His bold march theme was a high point of the film, and merited its own appearance on a score CD in 1995. (Like Burton's 1989 Batman, in which Elfman's score shared the picture with songs by Prince, Forever featured a host of pop songs, including hit singles "Hold Me Thrill Me Kiss Me Kill Me" by U2 and Seal's iconic "Kiss from a Rose.")

LLL's two-disc set, produced by Goldenthal himself and limited to 3,500 copies, features the original score as heard in the film alongside the original soundtrack presentation and two bonus tracks: a suite released as a B-side on U2's CD single and an alternate take. Liner notes by renowned film score writer John Takis round out what is sure to be an excellent package for the Batman enthusiasts out there.
