Summary: Minimalist Mayhem
Comment: Zimmer and Howard trump their awesome core for 'Batman Begins' with this Minimalsit epic. Dark,
intense and deeply unsettling, the two composers seem to be channeling Philip Glass's psychotic twin
with pounding rhythms and throbbing chords as they obsessively reiterate their simple musical
motifs. The best score of the year so far, and probably Zimmer and Howard's greatest work. />
Bleak, austere and insanely addictive - this is pure musical genius.

Summary: JUST LIKE BATMAN: DARK, CHAOTIC & MAJESTIC
Comment: Ever since THE ROCK and THE LAST SAMURAI had such an impressive soundtrack to be released! Hans
Zimmer and James Newton Howard did an incredible job in not only adding to the action on the screen
but also capturing the essence of this new Batman.

Moving, exciting and ingenious. A
true Masterpiece that can stand on its own as a piece of orchestral art. Strong percussions and
nervous strings; brief melodies that build even higher tensions and the ever present thin black line
of the Batman Theme to tie it all together. It is only deserving that the best movie this summer is
accompanied also by the best Soundtrack.

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

Summary: The Dark Soundtrack
Comment: This soundtrack is a dark but beautiful soundtrack. I heard the soundtrack before I had the pleasure
to see the movie. Before seeing the movie the soundtrack was good, with good tracks, but it seemed
to miss something. Now that I have seen the movie, and know what the emotional feeling of the movie
are, the soundtrack great... For me I now feel the anger, sorrow of the movie, but also feel of
courage and men that are ready to sacrifice them self for the freedom of others.

The
Soundtrack should be heard as one big seventy-five minutes track, there are really no stand out
tracks, that but one. The "Why So Serious" (track number one), also know as the Joker theme. First
times I was listening the track, I felt it was chaotic and strange. But know I understand it
represents the Joker perfectly... He is chaos, but he is also a really intelligent enemy of the Dark
knight also, and The Joker has a master plan, its hard too spot for all the confusion and anarchy.
The same goes the "Why So Serious" track, listen carefully and you will discover that there is more
to it then chaos.

It is a four star soundtrack by it self. But a Five star soundtrack
if you have seen the The Dark Knight.

Summary: Great addition to your Zimmer collection
Comment: Having heard the few audio teaser clips at the Dark Knight Score website, I knew I had to purchase
this CD, and it definitely does not disappoint. There's a lot of electronic sounds in this score
which may irritate purists, but it adds wonderfully to the tone and atmosphere of the music, making
the film menacing.

Those who purchased the Batman Begins CD will recognise a few themes
in this score, but they are not prominent and there is plenty of new material and themes. The tempo
is also increased which puts you on the edge of your seat.

I am really looking forward
to seeing this film, and the quality of the score bodes well!

Summary: They've done it again
Comment: Hans Zimmer and James Newton Howard have done it again. An effortless masterpiece that thrills and
chills with a grace that only they can produce. The film has not been released yet but the score is
so emotional that I am sure that those that loved Batman Begins wil not be disappointed. Love and
tragedy is played out perfectly throughout; the pace of the action sequences and high tension wire
of suspense is so taught and precise that you really can get lost in Gotham and escape. Nolan
credits Zimmer & Newton Howard for one of the reasons as to why he wanted to return to the Batman
films. My only disappointment is that there are no lines from the characters within the soundtrack
itself; but this soundtrack is so amazing it does not need the support of the cast. Some great
orchestral high rise spiraling as Zimmer produced in Hannibal that provide real eerie moments of
hairs on the back of your neck and goosepimples all at once. If this film is as good as its
soundtrack then this will be the film of the year. I cannot wait.
RIP Heath Ledger.
