I'm not really sure what you're asking, but as part of Warner Brothers Animation studios commitment to quality in the 90s, as with Tiny Toon Adventures and Animaniacs each episode of Batman: The Animated Series had a fully-composed score. The music team on Batman was led by Shirley Walker, who had conducted and contributed additional orchestrations for Danny Elfman's 1989 Batman score, and she maintained that big, bold and brassy sound while expanding on it with new thematic material significantly for the series.
This release features suites from several scores from first season episodes of Batman: The Animated Series, "On Leather Wings," "The Last Laugh," "It's Never Too Late," "Pretty Poison," "Christmas With the Joker," "Two-Face" (Parts I and II), "Joker's Favor," "Vendetta," "Perchance To Dream" and "Birds of a Feather." There are recurring themes and motives throughout the series (central among them is, of course, Shirley Walker's own Batman theme), but each episode has its own sonic identity.
I am hoping that there will be further releases of music from this series, as it maintained its freshness all the way through its run.
