I'm not sure I can pick a favorite! Obviously the Batman 1989 theme song is a classic. I also love "Descent into Mystery", and "Selina Transforms" from Batman Returns.

  Birth Of A Penguin Part 2 is one of my favorites!

Main Theme, Descent Into Mystery and Finale from Batman '89, Birth of the Penguin and Batman vs. The Circus from Batman Returns and the Animated Series theme.

  Finale is the one that plays as they reveal the Batsignal, then pan up and up and finish on Batman standing on the rooftop, with the signal in the background and the triumphant crescendo, right? I love that most of all.

Saw a live performance of this at Lincoln Center over the summer. Was excellent. Pretty much everyone around me was crying during the Edward Scissorhands suite. The Batman/Batman Returns medley got a ton of applause.

Is that what the CD cover looks like now? Back in the day, the US versions at least used that gold marketing logo on the Prince album, while the Elfman score CD had the shot of the Batwing in silhouette against the moon.

Was this concert shown on PBS America in the UK and Ireland?
It felt like I didn't want to miss it.

Danny Elfman singing in the Nightmare Before Christmas section is a highlight for sure, along with all the batman stuff.
