The Batman (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) accompanies the 2022 action superhero film The Batman, directed by Matt Reeves and starring Robert Pattinson. The original score was composed by Michael Giacchino, known for Up, Star Trek, and Jurassic World. Giacchino’s music blends dark orchestral tones and brooding thematic material, reflecting Gotham’s noir atmosphere and Batman’s psychological tension.
The soundtrack album was released February 25, 2022, via WaterTower Music, containing 29 original score tracks with a runtime of approximately 1 hour 56 minutes, available on Apple Music, Spotify, and CD.
Giacchino’s score emphasizes low strings, ominous percussion, and leitmotifs that underscore both the detective narrative and emotional arcs, supporting the film’s suspenseful and dark tone.
The film also includes licensed music — such as Nirvana’s Something in the Way — used in key scenes but not part of the official album.
