Batman and Returns. Darkman is more or less a quasi-remix of the latter, but it still packs quite the punch thanks to the composer’s contagious signature thematic style. The Main Theme, in particular, is vintage Elfman, what with its undeniably Gothic tone and rambunctious circus-style rhythms that somehow form a fascinating, aggressively dark march that pops up throughout the score in a variety of ways — on organ, strings, brass, etc. Not to be outdone, Elfman goes even darker for tracks such as “Rage,” which utilize choir and wild percussion in a manner that recalls his work on Scrooged. The results are downright freakish at times, but nonetheless entertaining.
