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 More from the Batcave:

 Finally! April 27, 2010
Anthony De La Garza
I went to every (music) store in my town (sold out) and even on ebay (where it was WAY OVERPRICED!) but I found it here, and I am thrilled. The shipping was fast, price was great. And the music is fantastic- if you love movie scores then this is a MUST HAVE!
Quiet Pleasure November 8, 2009
Eric J. Reinholt (Pennsylvania, USA)
This is not your usual loud and jarring soundtrack. It is a wonderful listening experience.
Excellent Service May 28, 2009
Marina Rodriguez (Robstown, Texas)
The service was excellent. The CD was in excellent condition. It came on time. I would recommend buying from Amazon.
 Batman has begun March 1, 2009
Steve Emshoff (Austin, Texas United States)
While not quite as iconic as Danny Elfman's score from Tim Burton's Batman film, or any of the recent Batman animated series, this score is well suited to the film.
Nice touch with the first letters of tracks 4-9 spelling out BATMAN.
The Ever Changing Moods of a Superhero January 17, 2009
Mr. Richard D. Coreno (Berea, Ohio USA)
A pair of titans - Hans Zimmer and James Newton Howard - use their incredible artistry to approach separate themes surrounding Bruce Wayne/Batman; Zimmer tackles the action sequences, while Newton Howard delves into the character scenes.
Through electronic music and orchestral pieces, the 12 tracks depict the split personality of the superhero, with song titles that are different genera of bats (with a key word spelled out from the first letter of six titles). Though the composers had an ambitious 2 hours and 20 minutes of music for the film, the album "only" clocks in at 60:26.
A surprisingly difficult album to track down, it is some of the most fascinating work from both composers.
