I'm not sure how I missed out on this (as this is something I've been wanting since childhood), but I unfortunately did: La-La Land Records has released an official soundtrack for "Batman the Animated Series" in the form of a 2-disc limited edition. It features the music from 11 different episodes, plus a few bonus tracks, totaling around 2.5 hours of quality Shirley Walker (and Lolita Ritmanis and Michael McCuistion) music, and is conveniently sold-out.
No matter.
No matter?!?!?! Missing out on one of your most anticipated soundtrack releases is no matter?!!? Reason being, that fact that it sold out so quickly (released Dec. 16th, 2008, sold out by end of January 2009) is a sure sign that either a future version will be released, or we may even luck out and get a re-release. Maybe we'll even get soundtracks for Superman: Animated, Justice League, or JLU eventually. (Just be sure to contact La-La Land by sending them an email or two requesting these titles.)
In any case, glad to see the series and its music finally getting the treatment it deserves. It's a shame that composer Walker never got recognition from the Academy Awards when she sadly passed away two years ago.
