* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yRP7_FVZJf4 Nygma and Penguin's theme]], a haunting, melancholy, and beautiful score that accompanies many important scenes in these two character's rollercoaster relationship, usually subtly altered in some way to emphasize whatever mood is prevailing.

* Ed Nygma's creepy as hell theme serves to make him suitably unnerving before he's ever the Riddler. Try listening to ''this'' late at night.

* "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c7woNfu-SS0&list=PLTRafrHf5YBaSYI5eraRNOmCs70U53-rw&index=23&t=0s For Gotham]]" - a stirring, heroic piece that sees the main players of the show unite to defend Gotham from the forces of Bane.

* "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MJcZLzJp-Cs&list=PLTRafrHf5YBaSYI5eraRNOmCs70U53-rw&index=20 Batman Comes to Gotham]]", a suitably heroic, dramatic, and uplifting score that emphasizes the characters' (and viewers') awe upon seeing the Caped Crusader watching over his city for the first time.

* "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PtPs2RE5j2s&list=PLTRafrHf5YBaSYI5eraRNOmCs70U53-rw&index=1 Jerome and the Maniax]]", a whimsical yet dark piece that accompanies proto-Joker Jerome Valeska on his crime spree, and is just as unhinged and entertaining as you'd expect music for the Clown Prince of Crime to be. Composer David Russo even mentioned the piece as one of his personal favorites.

* Similarly, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=90WEBnx2Tts&list=PLuvC_f5GjOOmGVhc0chBs3FBeVy0uDwSZ&index=17 Jeremiah Valeska's theme]] is ''incredibly'' creepy and foreboding. Whenever you hear this leitmotif, you know things are about to hit the fan.
