When La-La Land posted a link to the new Batman Beyond short on their face book page the other day, I think a few fans may have momentarily got their hopes up that the BB scores were being released. With that in mind, which scores from the show do people want to see released? LLL may well release some of its music after they're done with Batman and Superman, and before/after they get to Justice League. Some that I'd like to own would be:
Earth Mover Meltdown (without the choir that was strangely inserted on the Rhino release) Shriek Hooked Up Blood Sport The Call parts 1 & 2 King's Ransom Out of the Past Black Out Dead Man's Hand Ascension Mind Games Sneak Peek
I'm fairly sure LLL has this show on their radar but they're busy working on Batman and Superman stuff first. They could definitely bang out four discs of music from this program, which would be great to have finally.
Thanks for posting that fun flashback video. It recreates the tone and animation style of the original remarkably well. I like the different incarnations of the Batman look at the end as a celebration of the 75th anniversary. LLL did likely post the short out of their love for all things DC animated (and particularly Batman) and not necessarily as an indication that a Batman Beyond set is coming anytime soon.
The music of Batman Beyond is definitely high on my grails list, however. The oftentimes atmosphere-rich synthesizer-rock music was as perfect for Batman Beyond's cyberpunk near-future Gotham as the more classic orchestral approach was for B:TAS. I would have to revisit the show to identify particular favorite episode scores, but off the top of my head I definitely concur that the music of "Meltdown" is a standout.
Hopefully this comes from LLL at some point. I'm an ardent fan of B:TAS and believe it to be the best version of the Bat hands down, but I've also been blissfully enjoying their Brave and the Bold release (Volume 2 please).
