OMG Mr. Hans The Greatest Composer EVER Just Wrote A Comment On His Site Let Me Tell You Mr. Zimmer That You Have No Idea How Much I Love Your Music You Are AMAZING Really Brilliant I Love Your Music Listening To It Every Day and Minute and Second I Just Want You To Know That I Love Your Music Soooooooooooooooooooooo Much Your Music In Batman Begins Is Incredible it Makes Me Cry Specially At The End Credits Really Really Fit Nolans Batman You Are Angel Mr.Zimmer You Know Why???? Because Your Music Is Always Brilliant You Always Make A Brilliant Scores I Hope You See My Comment Because I Really Meant Every Single Word I Said
What can I say Hans... You are a pioneer in the moviemusic buiz and changed how we see and hear the things up on the screen... A BIG THANK YOU for making it a joy to go to the movies and thanks for almost 30 years of suspence and hope to see atleast 30 more years from you and the boys.
It´s sad that alll your music aren´t available to buy as it is awesome.
does anyone know which specific tracks were created by each composer?cuz i thought hz covered whhy so serious? and it siad that ha & jnh covered that as a 9 minute suite
very addictive better than Begins and ten times better than what that "elf"man can do , all his soundtracks sound the same whether it was batman or spiderman or anything else they all sounded the same
Where is the track that plays when the sound cuts out and Joker is driving in the police car leaning out the window? It's a very bass-driven piece I can't seem to find.
Does the opening bank robbery scene musical score have a title? what is it? It's one of the most intense 5 minutes in film and the music is PERFECT!thank you!
From first listening to this score I have been hooked! I call it music for the soul, for its intensity, depth, power and ability to captivate the listener with all of its complexities. Every time I listen to it I notice something new I had not before. Well done for a truly magnificent score - this one should definitely be an oscar winner!
Excellent score !! Better than the first one !!! My favorite tracks : Like A Dog Chasing Cars / Introduce A Little Anarchy / Watch The World Burn. Thanks Mr Zimmer & Newton Howard !!
i thought that the opening music is a short version of "why so serious?" on the beginning of this track we have the "vacuum-cleaner-sound" and then percussions. just like in the movie. it's only that this vacuum-cleaner-sound ist not that long as on the cd.
The song at the end when the drums kick in (sends shivers down my spine every time I see it) is actually the very end of "Barbastella" from the Begins score.
