I'd venture as far as superhero music goes, Elfman's Batman theme is almost as well knows as the Superman March. I'd disagree. Elliot Goldenthal got it right when he said that no matter what he wrote for Batman Forever - no matter how epic or perfect he could write it - if you asked a guy on the street what the theme is to Batman, they'd whistle Neal Hefti Very very good point For some context, not as many people in the world outside of film music know the Superman theme as we might think. When I saw Superman Returns with my friends, they rolled their eyes over the opening credits and muttered, "Oh look, it's Superman versus the Rebel Alliance." I had to explain to them that this was John Williams' Superman theme from the original movie, and not something from a new person ripping off Star Wars. As for Elfman and Batman, I'd argue that while the theme might not have lingered as long in the public consciousness, the impact of Batman was far greater on the genre than Superman. Williams essentially only confirmed the approach to scoring action/fantasy that he introduced with Star Wars when he scored Superman - it was phenomenal, but it didn't radically change the way people scored films, because Star Wars had already done that. Batman's gothic and brooding romance, however, seemed to come out of nowhere - people had written "dark" action/fantasy scores before this, but never in this manner. The idea of treating the action hero as a symbol of terror rather than heroism was unheard of in a mainstream movie. Action and superhero scores to this today use Batman as the template, (and yes, that includes the scores not composed by Danny Elfman). Pedestrian Wolf

I suspect a Batman set would sell. The Superman set isn't selling just to score collectors; there are lots of people who will buy anything "Superman" and the sames goes for Batman.

Database entry?! My vote goes to Ron Pulliam for "geek of the year" It's not geeky, it's a sensible way to keep track of things. These days of course it is very easy with gracenote et al. Thinking of getting myself a barcode reader to save even the hassle of putting discs in the drive (except club releases don't have barcodes!).

Hey, it's our hobby and we can play if we want to. It's another way to have fun with your collection. And isn't that the point?
