Telltale’s regular composer Jared Emerson-Johnson never disappoints with his music and it’s no different here; the soundtrack throughout is excellent. There are the obvious upbeat tunes accompanying the action, with their rumbling drums and reverberations provides a heightened sense of pace and thrill, but the quieter tunes shouldn’t be discounted either. When Bruce is sitting across the table from someone, both parties more exposed than they would like, the slow piano background lends the scene a hint of melancholy and intrigue.“ Adventure Gamers on Batman: The Telltale Series

Quant à la partition musicale, elle est signée par Jared Emerson-Johnson, présent depuis Sam & Max saison 1 chez Telltale, et nous propose encore une fois une composition parfaite qui, sans réutiliser les thèmes connus du chevalier noir, arrive a retransmettre l’ambiance pesante de Gotham city ainsi que de sa violence omniprésente.“ Actugaming on Batman—Realm of Shadows
