Batman & Robin: Music from and Inspired by the "Batman & Robin" Motion Picture is the soundtrack album to the motion picture Batman & Robin (1997).
Despite the overwhelming negative reception of the film itself, the soundtrack album for Batman & Robin was well-received, and became a sales success, being certified platinum by the RIAA. [8] The soundtrack included songs by R. Kelly, Arkarna, Jewel, Goo Goo Dolls, R.E.M., Bone Thugs-n-Harmony, and The Smashing Pumpkins. The Smashing Pumpkins song "The End Is the Beginning Is the End", which played over the film’s closing credits, won the 1998 Grammy Award for Best Hard Rock Performance. Three songs from the soundtrack became top-ten hits in the United States: Jewel's contribution, a radio-mix version of "Foolish Games" (US number two), Bone Thugs-n-Harmony's "Look into My Eyes" (US number four), and R. Kelly's "Gotham City" (US number nine). In addition, the track "Fun for Me" by relative newcomers Moloko reached number four on the US Dance Play Chart, and introduced the Irish-English act to a new American audience.

Batman Forever: Original Motion Picture Score Album is a 1995 Grammy-nominated film score album for Batman Forever, composed by Elliot Goldenthal. It was released in conjunction with its soundtrack counterpart. Despite Goldenthal having recorded over 2 hours of music, the soundtrack only had 45 minutes before La-La Land Records released an expanded version in 2012. The score features big brass, strings and discordant noises while maintaining an anthemic sound. Regarding the villainous leitmotifs, Goldenthal said Two-Face features paired notes and doubled beats while being inspired by Russian composers such as Sergei Prokofiev and Dmitri Shostakovich, and Riddler has a sound reminiscent of old science fiction B-movies with a theremin. On the U2 single "Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me, Kill Me", there is a track titled "Themes from Batman Forever" composed by Goldenthal; this can also be found on the expanded release issued in 2012.
