Has anyone heard the 15 min Cat Suite?
Yes – it’s easy to find online
Are you sure about that?
I think comments mentioning specific websites get deleted here, so I will just say I pulled the Cat Suite from a major bootlegger a while ago and I haven’t noticed it being deleted.
It’s also on YouTube, or at least it was
So, where is it now? Complete Cat suite
I can’t find it on YouTube. Bootlegs links are not allowed here.
@Ian, is it mostly original or is it variations of score cues? Also, post whatever links you want… Stephane doesn’t moderate here anymore
There are some fake “Cat suite” tracks floating around, soulseek definitely has a couple of them…
We are talking about the real thing, where did it surfaced?
Ian, can you name a site?
Tom – It’s an insanely long, repetitive version of the release edit. Take each section in the edit version and imagine it 3-5 minutes longer.
For example, the dark build part at 3:25 in the edit lasts a whopping 7 minutes in the full suite.
@Knight Interesting… Glad to know we’re not missing much.Hans has said he uses the suites like an “idea diary,” so it makes sense they won’t always be polished.
I’d like to know what “154BPM Action Suite v2.17 (6:05)” is. 154BPM is the same tempo as the Transfiguration Suite, so it’s probably another version of that.

What’s going on with the sessions version of Rooftop Fight? It has silence where Batman says, “This isn’t a car.” Obviously the film version has an insert with the credits motif, and the album version does too. Did they ever intend for it to be silent? Or could the team just get lazy and let the music editor add the credits motif later? :P
I think it was because music editor had a few different variations of “End Credits motif”
In fact, in the actual movie it’s still different from album/sessions mix
