I'd like a 2-disc complete score, with Goldenthal's original album presentation written in the liner notes.
Indeed. FSM has done it this way a number of times, and it really is the best and most sensible way of doing it.
No, that's a horrible way of doing things.
Hopefully we get ONLY Goldenthal's intended album presentation (should this score ever surface) and nothing else. Why not include the extra material as well, you might ask (if only to please my "enemies", the C&C lovers)? Well, basically because that will up the price of the soundtrack considerably.
PS: Thor, I also enjoyed this quote unquote Q&A session. Downloaded it in 2004 for money on a film music network site, which is gone by now
Yeah, I wish he did more of those. He's very interesting to listen to.

If Elliot Goldenthal himself worked hard to determine that the best representation of his score for an album of Batman & Robin would be a non-C&C program running 46 mins, it would be absolutely disrespectful to undermind his educated-opinion and efforts.
well that would be a 3cd set wouldn't it ? 
First of all, I'm going to ignore that you quoted the guy I was quoting, instead of me. 
Second... the bootleg runs 121 minutes. Roughly 14 minutes of that consist of tracked music, source stuff, etc - so that's 107. But even if we assume the full score runs 120-ish minutes, that's 40-ish left between two CDs. Undoubtedly, Goldenthal left a few cues edited in his assembly, so the program should look like this:
Disc 1: The Complete Score, part one (as close to 80 minutes as possible)
Disc 2: The Complete Score, part two (which would be about 40 minutes or so), followed by the edited album tracks.
The liner notes present a tracklist for the consumer to organize (yeah, we'd have to import them into iTunes, but if you can find a better way to present both programs, do tell), and both camps are happy.
Well, except for Thor. But frankly, who cares?

a single 78 minute cd of B & R would be fine. 2cd is overkill.
an expanded BF - the original program plus 25 or so mintes of extra material would also be nice.
to sum up: single discs of each with 78 minutes of music OR a 2cd set with both discs/films in one package.

The cd of Batman forever is a really good album presentation I think. You can actually sit down and listen to this cd from beginning to end and the music never bores. I would love to have a similar presentation of Batman & Robin. Cut away the fat and you'd have a classic soundtrack cd.

Now, clearly the movie itself is indeed a Saturday-morning cartoon parody in and of itself, not to mention a huge, flash-frozen pile of dog feces, and therefore the difference in the main theme's approach and performance was rightfully adjusted to fit the tone, but it's still a terrible arrangement compared to "Forever" as a listening experience.
While you sit at your computer trashing "Batman & Robin", the fact remains that the director and everyone involved "is far more successful than you." (Just taking the ball you threw out there with your James Horner thread....ANYONE you trash in movies, no matter who, will be more successful than you or mostly anyone else).

I made a homemade version of the 2 disc version- keeping only the best cuts.
It came out to app. 79 minutes!
