With it’s premiere coming at this weekend’s San Diego Comic-Con, the soundtrack for the hugely anticipated adaptation of Alan Moore’s The Killing Joke has been announced. Featuring the track ‘I Go Looney’, sung by Mark Hamill’s Joker, the soundtrack has 35 tracks altogether and was composed by Lolita Ritmanis, Kristopher Carter and Michael McCuistion.
Speaking of featuring a live orchestra, for the first time since the Batman Beyond series, McCuistion said, “We knew right off the bat we were going to hire live musicians for this score—we wanted the level of nuance and expression that only live performance provides. We were especially excited to be able to reunite with many of the finest Los Angeles studio musicians who originally played our scores for BATMAN: THE ANIMATED SERIES to record THE KILLING JOKE. The legacy that we all shared became a catalyst for some truly unforgettable recording sessions!”
