Here’s a nice tease for those of us looking forward to Hans Zimmer’s score for The Dark Knight Rises. Batman’s been good to our ears in the last 20+ years. Danny Elfman’s Batman Returns score has been on heavy rotation on my Spotify as of late, and Zimmer’s contributions to Nolan’s trilogy cannot be discounted. His Batman Begins was a perfect framing for a reintroduction to the mythos, and The Dark Knight‘s Joker theme is spine tingling.
You can preorder The Dark Knight Rises score from Amazon right here. From this small sampling, I’m really digging on Imagine the Fire and Rise*. What are your favorites?
*There seems to be an overreaching debate about whether or not Batman dies in this film. Consider the fact that Nolan has ended his last two Batfilms on jumpcuts to the title cards.

I can’t help listening to this, the Dark Knight score and the one for Inception, and wonder if Hans Zimmer is a fan of akira ifukube. There’s definitely a monster movie feel to the scores he’s crafter for all these movies.
I try to catch “Inception” every chance I get and I’ve found I no longer watch the movie. I listen to the soundtrack. After the third theater viewing I was struck by how the whole viewing experience is propelled in every scene by the soundtrack. Subtle, quiet moments – check. Pushing the non-stop, escalation of tension and action -check. Pulling at the heartstrings in beautiful, ethereal sweeps (“Time”) – check. Producing a musical tone branding that is recognizable by almost everyone in the country and memed all over the internet – check. Zimmer’s Batman stuff is great but “Inception” is just genius on so many levels.
UnderGround Army sounds like a track from the Metal Gear Solid series
Yeah, I mostly watch Inception for the soundtrack. Take it away, and the movie is just hollow and pretentious twaddle. The music gives it a beating heart.
