Line #12 AwesomeMusic/Gotham


1	With David Russo at the helm, ''Series/{{Gotham}}'' had five seasons full of awesome music, paying homage to past Batman composers like Music/DannyElfman and Music/HansZimmer, as well as crafting creative pieces of its own.
2	----
3	* First off, there's the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qb5nHTCLJrU main theme of the series]], a dark yet heroic piece that is perfect for the WretchedHive that is Gotham City.
4	* "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c7woNfu-SS0 For Gotham]]" - a stirring, heroic piece that sees the main players of the show unite to defend Gotham from the forces of Bane.
5	* "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MJcZLzJp-Cs 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.
6	* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mixu4xpBaWk Penguin's leitmotif]], a dark yet bumbling mandolin tune that is perfect for the oddball but threatening villain.
7	* "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PtPs2RE5j2s 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.
8	* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=90WEBnx2Tts Jeremiah Valeska's theme]] is ''incredibly'' creepy and foreboding. Whenever you hear this leitmotif, you know things are about to hit the fan.
9	* "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mghsu0dz4o8 Bruce Finds His Path]]", a Zimmer-esque score that accompanies Bruce's first foray into vigilantism. This is the music playing for the page image on Gotham's Awesome page.
10	* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yRP7_FVZJf4 This]] haunting and melancholy score for some of Penguin's more emotional scenes.
11	* "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5dl9TrQBu5A Ra's al Ghul Reborn]]", a foreboding and majestic theme for the dignified, MagnificentBastard villain.
12	* "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3pFLBZwiGTQ Bruce's Doppelganger]]", an eerie, Danny Elfman-esque piece that accompanies the unnerving and childlike clone of Bruce.
13	* "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wmLjSnB6oTU The Unfortunate Demise of Kristen Kringle]]", an absolutely gorgeous orchestral piece that is almost cinematic in its swelling capture of Nygma's grief and horror at his tragic mistake.
14	* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lzZeaMiqvz8 Jervis Tetch's theme]], which helps to make the series' DarkerAndEdgier version of the Mad Hatter absolutely ''terrifying.''
15	* "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-nNxqTEl9lw Jim and Lee Marry]]", a sweet, gentle remix of the series' main theme that accompanies one of the happiest scenes in the show.
16	* "Nygma's Transformation to Riddler", a slight reworking of one of Ed's themes that ends in the Riddler's creepy as hell leitmotif, heralding the arrival of one of Batman's most infamous rogues.
