In the meantime, here is a compilation of highlights from the scores/soundtracks of Batman films from 1989's Batman through 2008's Dark Knight (excluding 1997's Batman & Robin, for which no score was released, and including 1993's animated feature Batman: Mask of the Phantasm).
Featured is music by Danny Elfman, Elliot Goldenthal, Shirley Walker, and Hans Zimmer, as well as songs by Prince, Siouxsie and the Banshees, U2, and Seal.

I've made two different covers. I'm sorry that neither is particularly imaginative; I made them using MS Paint. You can probably tell from the first cover image who my favourite Batman was, but I'll save that discussion for later.
As for today, I hope you enjoy this mix. I tried to sequence it such that the varying styles of music would flow from one to the other more or less seamlessly. Sometimes it worked; other times not so much. In any event, I think it makes for quite an entertaining mix.
