Disapointing Whilst I really enjoyed the music that Zimmer and Howard produced for the film itself, I am a little disapointed that the album appears to be the "highlights" of the score, rather than a definitive reproduction of it. For example, you only get literally about 4-5 seconds of the opening scene (where the window is blown out and the robbers get onto the roof) (the tracks are blended together). The same goes for the scene where Batman is beating the drug dealers in the car park, but here it seems to be totally... more info
Listen to a new era of Batman!!!! Wow, great soundtrack!! A new era of Batman deserves a new era in music and sound to show just how much it has evoloved since the cartoon style films of the 80's and 90's!

Overall the scores represents a dark,... more info
A superior soundtrack Those who remember the Danny Elfman epics from the the Tim Burton films may well be surprised at how different this score is.

Minimalist Mayhem 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.
