From The Soundtracks: U2-"Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me, Kill Me"

Batman movies have had an interesting relationship with popular music over the years. Prior to Chris Nolan's entrance in to Gotham City, Batman soundtracks have had a mix of some of the best and most bizarre musical selections for any films, let alone films featuring The Dark Knight.


Over the years, I've collected every single soundtrack for a Batman film, and this week's edition stands out as one of my favorites. From the same era that brought you Zoo TV, U2 put their mark on Gotham City with a strong lead song from Batman Forever. 

From The Soundtracks: "The Riddler"-Method Man

Batman movies have had an interesting relationship with popular music over the years. Chris Nolan's entrance in to Gotham City, Batman soundtracks have had a mix of some of the best and most bizarre musical selections for any films, let alone films featuring The Dark Knight.

In this segment, we here at the Gotham Central Podcast like to take a look and some of the songs that have stood out, and this selection is no exception. Method Man is one of the most respected MCs to grace a mic, and in "The Riddler" he brings a great sound and style that I can only wish translated to the screen for Batman Forever. Method Man provides an incredible mix of New York hip hop and carnival music, so if you haven't heard this, make sure to check out the video below.

Pick Up The Batman Forever Soundtrack or Just The Song

From The Soundtracks: "Kiss From A Rose"-Seal

Batman movies have had an interesting relationship with popular music over the years. Chris Nolan's entrance in to Gotham City, Batman soundtracks have had a mix of some of the best and most bizarre musical selections for any films, let alone films featuring The Dark Knight.

Though this segment focuses mostly on the bizarre, I wanted to take tonight to post and discuss one of my favorite songs from any Batman soundtrack, "Kiss From A Rose" by Seal. I love this song with a fiery passion, but let's be honest.. in a Batman movie? It's definitely a weird choice, but the video and the song are both incredible.

Check out the Batman Forever version of this video below.

From The Soundtracks: "Foolish Games"-Jewel

Batman movies have had an interesting relationship with popular music of the years. Before Chris Nolan's entrance into Gotham City, Batman soundtracks have had some of the most bizarre musical selections for any films, let alone Batman films. Considering what we know about The Caped Crusader, most of the musical selections just seem completely out of place.

Well, I'd like to take this moment to shed some light on some of the more random occurrences in the musical department in a segment I like to call "From The Soundtracks". This week's entrance comes from Alaskan pop/country/folk singer Jewel with her less relevant "Foolish Games" from the Batman & Robin soundtrack.
