Drake also collaborated with del Toro in rescoring one of his early films Geometría, included in The Criterion Collection edition of del Toro's Cronos.

In 2008, Drake joined composers Robert J. Kral and Kevin Manthei in writing music for Warner Bros.'s Batman: Gotham Knight (2008). Following Gotham Knight, Drake scored the fourth in the line of DC Universe Animated Original Movies, Wonder Woman (2009).
