"Face to Face" is a song recorded by English rock band Siouxsie and the Banshees. It was composed by the group along with Danny Elfman and was produced by Stephen Hague. The track was featured in the 1992 film Batman Returns and is included on its soundtrack. Film director Tim Burton asked the band to compose the main song of the movie. The track later appeared on the band 1992's compilation album Twice Upon a Time - The Singles and was remastered in 2002 for The Best of Siouxsie and the Banshees. Upon its release in July 1992, the song entered the singles chart in the UK and in Europe.

In the US, tension between people working at the film studio division of Warner Bros. and the executives of Warner Bros. Records label occurred, and the song was ultimately released a few weeks after the film opening date, and only on cassette. Geffen, the band's US record company, didn't get the license to release the song.
