Used to creepy effect in 'Identity Crisis' with The Reveal of Bizarro, whose leitmotif has the first three notes in reverse order, and adds instruments to 'darken' it.

In Superman the Animated Series, the first line of the theme music serves as Superman's Leitmotif.

It gets slowed and 'darkened' to show that Supes is Not Himself.

As this goes on, his theme plays in the background, but there is something wrong about it, somehow.

Yet another one in the episode 'The Call', a brainwashed Superman ends up fighting Terry, and then follows him when he gets on the Batplane and goes to Mach 3.

Another notable - and very effective - callback to the original BtAS score occurs in the episode 'Disappearing Inque,' when the aged Bruce Wayne appears in a suit of Batman Powered Armor to come to Terry's rescue.

The very first time this callback happened in Batman Beyond was in the first episode during the last time Bruce appeared wearing the batsuit Terry would wear years later.

Batman Beyond mostly had its own music, but would occasionally do a callback to leitmotifs for the previous series, and in the episode 'Out of the Past,' when Bruce Wayne is temporarily restored to youth and vigor, he and Terry take out the trash to a rock-anthem treatment of the BTAS main theme.

In the origin story for Harley Quinn, the Joker is whistling his theme the first time they meet.

Discerning viewers get to notice this, figure out the twist, and feel happy.

As Wayne races to the top of a church belltower the Mad Hatter's theme is being played by heavy brass (as opposed to light, cheerful flutes as per norm) despite the fact he's doesn't appear to be involved in Bruce Wayne's current plight.

This idea was used expertly in 'Perchance to Dream'.

THIS video even has a subtle almost fourth-wall breaking nod to the theme of the animated Joker at the end.

The Joker, whose theme never played in a title card, had a whimsical but subtly creepy theme (plays at the end) that had a different version of it played (ofttimes with completely different instruments) for every episode he appeared in.

Two-Face, for example, had a short but haunting two/three tone melody motif that would play every time he was onscreen (whereas most had their motifs simply played in larger scenes), even if the episode had nothing to do with him (IE, if a character was passing by his cell in Arkham).

Batman's theme himself is quite possibly one of the most memorable ever conceived for the character, arguably moreso than Danny Elfman's from the 1989 movie (which Shirley Walker's enterpretation has many themes in common with).

Nearly every leitmotif, with the exception of the Joker's, originated in the title card for their premiere episode, and thus was featured strongly in the soundtracks of the episodes they appear in.

In Batman the Animated Series, nearly every character, and every villain, had a leitmotif that was associated with them.In the Peanuts specials, almost every character has their own theme (with Linus and Lucy sharing one that went on to represent the entire 'Peanuts' universe).Stalling was addicted to the used of Leitmotif, to the point that Warners animators joked, 'Now, don't draw anything with a red pencil, or Stalling will give us ' The Lady in Red'!'.He made an appearance in the George Pal Paramount Puppetoon 'Jasper Goes Hunting,' and the accompanying music was an ersatz variation of the Merrie Melodies theme. Whenever Bugs made a cameo appearance in another WB cartoon, the Merrie Melodies theme would cue up.The cartoon of the same title even gives it a set of lyrics.

Carl Stalling's piece 'What's Up, Doc?', which opened most of Bugs Bunny's shorts from the late '40s onward.

PAGES WILL BE DELETED OTHERWISE IF THEY ARE MISSING BASIC MARKUP. DON'T MAKE PAGES MANUALLY UNLESS A TEMPLATE IS BROKEN, AND REPORT IT THAT IS THE CASE. THIS SHOULD BE WORKING NOW, REPORT ANY ISSUES TO Janna2000, SelfCloak or RRabbit42. The Trope workshop specific templates can then be removed and it will be regarded as a regular trope page after being moved to the Main namespace.

All new trope pages will be made with the 'Trope Workshop' found on the 'Troper Tools' menu and worked on until they have at least three examples.

Pages that don't do this will be subject to deletion, with or without explanation. All new pages should use the preloadable templates feature on the edit page to add the appropriate basic page markup.

All images MUST now have proper attribution, those who neglect to assign at least the 'fair use' licensing to an image may have it deleted.

Failure to do so may result in deletion of contributions and blocks of users who refuse to learn to do so.
