Batman & Robin (soundtrack)

Batman & Robin: Music from and Inspired by the 'Batman & Robin' Motion Picture is the soundtrack album to the motion picture Batman & Robin (1997).

Background

Despite the overwhelming negative publicity the film received, its soundtrack became very popular and was well received, being certified platinum by the RIAA. The soundtrack included songs by R. Kelly, Arkarna, Jewel, Goo Goo Dolls, R.E.M., Bone Thugs-n-Harmony, and The Smashing Pumpkins, whose song "The End is the Beginning is the End" won the 1998 Grammy Award for Best Hard Rock Performance, which was played during the movie's closing credits. Three songs from the soundtrack became top-ten hits in the United States; Jewel's contribution, a radio-mix version of "Foolish Games" (U.S. number two), as well as Bone Thugs-n-Harmony's "Look into My Eyes" (U.S. number four) and R. Kelly's "Gotham City" (U.S. number nine).

A track by The Smashing Pumpkins, "The Beginning Is the End Is the Beginning", would become more notable due to its usage in the trailer for another superhero movie released by Warner Bros.: the 2009 film Watchmen.

There was never an official release of Elliot Goldenthal's score to the film, aside from the brief suite on the song album. A reason for this is the negative reception that the score for Batman Forever received. soundtrack review at Filmtracks.com
