Editorial Review:
Amazon.com:
It's rare to see two marquee-name composers credited for a score, but perhaps two people were needed to come up with something that would stand up to the memory of Danny Elfman's work on the 1989 Batman. Just as director Christopher Nolan's back-in-black approach is quite different from Tim Burton's phantasmagorical one, Hans Zimmer and James Newton Howard's take doesn't bear much kinship to Elfman's. (You'd be hard-pressed to find any recognizable theme here, for instance.) Mostly the composers remain conservatively subtle, though coming up with the expected pounding on grandiose, action-y selections such as "Myotis" and "Antrozous" (no, the poetic-sounding track names aren't lifted from old Cocteau Twins records but refer to various types of bats). Stand-out track "Tadarida" incorporates some of the distorted vocal effects associated with the Scarecrow's drug-induced nightmarish visions. Atmospheric to the point of evanescence sometime, the individual tracks tend to meld into each other after a while. The sense of stylistic continuity helps establish an overall mood, but sometimes it's hard to distinguish between shades of black. --Elisabeth Vincentelli

I didn't think this score would be fun on CD, after all there is not much of a theme to go with. But it is immense fun.

I couldn't possibly hope to write a review as eloquent as most of the others. I gather that I'm not the typical listener of music of this genre.
There's really not much I can say about this soundtrack. Its artistry is beyond what words can describe, but how "beautiful" and "magnificant" will suffice.
I've been a fan of Hans Zimmer since I bought the Gladiator soundtrack, on a whim. The pure enjoyment I've gotten out of the countless times I've listened to this CD, since ... Read More

I watched this movie twice, and in my opinion it's the best from other batman movies. The music is excellent, but it would be nice to hear some bytes through amazon.
