Reviews[]

In 2014, John Takis reviewed the soundtrack from The Underdwellers as part of the 3rd Volume of Original Soundtracks from Batman: The Animated Series.

Walker's twangy theme for "The Forgotten" embraces the southern colors of steel guitar and harmonica (the latter performed by the great Tommy Morgan, who had worked with Walker since 1979's "The Black Stallion) and frequently plays like a throwback to the action shows of decades past. The same melody, performed at a slower tempo and arranged for strings, emphasizes the plight of Gotham's homeless and downtrodden citizens. The score's other major idea is a contrapuntually intricate line that takes shape in low reeds and pizzicato for Walker's Batman theme in brass. Walker liked the concept enough that she repurposed it as a recap music for use in some of the series' two-parters, like Two-Face Part I and Part II.
