The Batman

Composer

MODERATED BY LAURA KARPMAN (Composer)

Please be mindful of the SCL’s Code of Conduct.

Two years of stalking the crime-riddled streets as The Batman, striking fear into the hearts of criminals, have turned Bruce Wayne into a nocturnal animal, driving him deep into the shadows of Gotham. Amidst the city’s corrupt network of officials and high-profile figures, he has established himself as the sole embodiment of vengeance. When a sadistic killer leaves behind clues addressed to the lone vigilante, the revelations shock him to his core. And as the evidence begins to lead closer to home and the scale of the perpetrator’s plans becomes clear, he must overcome his scars to become the hope Gotham needs. 

PG-13 | 177mins

Michael Giacchino has credits that feature some of the most popular and acclaimed film projects in recent history, including The Incredibles, Coco, Jojo Rabbit, Ratatouille, Star Trek, Jurassic World, Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, Spider-Man: Homecoming, and War for the Planet of the Apes. Giacchino’s 2009 score for the Pixar hit Up earned him an Oscar, a Golden Globe, the BAFTA, the Broadcast Film Critics’ Choice Award, and two Grammy Awards. Early in his career, he was asked to score the temp track for the video game adaptation of The Lost World: Jurassic Park. Subsequently, Steven Spielberg hired him as the composer and it became the first PlayStation game to have a live orchestral score, recorded with members of the Seattle Symphony. Giacchino went on to score numerous video games, including Spielberg’s Medal of Honor series. Giacchino’s work in video games sparked the interest of J.J. Abrams, and thus began their long-standing relationship that would lead to scores for the hit television series Alias and Lost, and the feature films Mission: Impossible III, Star Trek, Super 8, and Star Trek: Into Darkness.

His additional projects include collaborations with Disney Imagineering on music for Space Mountain, Star Tours (with John Williams), the Ratatouille ride in Disneyland Paris, and the Incredicoaster on Pixar Pier at California Adventure. Giacchino was the musical director of the 81st Annual Academy Awards. His music can be heard in concert halls internationally with all three Star Trek films, Ratatouille, Jurassic World, Up, and Coco being performed live-to- picture with a full orchestra. In June 2018, Giacchino premiered his first work for symphony orchestra, Voyage. Commissioned by the National Symphony Orchestra and the Cincinnati Pops Orchestra, the piece celebrates the 60th anniversary of the founding of NASA. In July 2019, a third movement, Advent, was added for the 50th Anniversary of the Moon Landing. In 2019, Giacchino’s first LP of original music, Travelogue Vol 1, featuring his Nouvelle Modernica orchestra, described as a story in song, was released on Mondo Records. The holiday song “Christmas Number One,” written with Elyssa Samsel and Kate Anderson, was recorded and performed by UK-based band Itchy Teeth and released as a specialty single with Death Waltz Records.

His recent work includes Jurassic World: Dominion and Spider-Man: No Way Home.
