In a post - show interview withVarietyhe speak about the experience . “ I do n’t call back anybody ’s tried that before , mixing up these kinds of elements in this kind of insane melodic mashup , ” Elfman said . “ When you ’re trying a conceptual musical theme , you do n’t know what ’s going to bump . But in the end , not having a safety net is also passing exhilarating . ”

He also ended up brave out a monstrosity sandstorm during the ambitious exploit . “ I was joking to a friend before the show , ‘ Look , we have 30 minutes to set up a show that ’s never been performed before with 50 musicians on stage . What can maybe go wrong ? ’ ” Elfman said . “ And then I ’m sit down there before we went on , thinking , ‘ Fuck , adult male . That was a jest , but it ’s no jocularity . ’ There were a hundred things to go improper . But in the goal , the one matter that I really was n’t plan on was a dust storm , an actual duster , in my face . Everything else arrive together really well . ”

There have been what , like , seven Batman films since the Burton celluloid , but Danny Elfman ’s Batman theme is the one I still associate with the character to this 24-hour interval .
