 A even darker feeling December 24, 2008
Kevin C. Li (Campbell, CA USA)
This CD is a very tremendous one. It has a dark feeling once more after 3 years. But, this is even containing darker feeling for me. In this soundtrack, all tracks are so good and well-made. Some track is very dark more like a dark chocolate. It has a very sad feeling, an intense feeling and exciting feeling. Overall, a great music CD and it's memorable.
Why so serious? December 22, 2008
Mark Prigoff (Huntington, NY USA)
I chose to get the limited edition of The Dark Knight soundtrack and it is certainly a worthy addition to my collection of Hans Zimmer film score recordings. If I were to describe this recording with one word, it would have to be "suspense", as each theme brings you right to the edge of your seat, waiting to hear what comes next, especially during the very first track, which is aptly called, "Why So Serious?" Unlike previous works by Zimmer, The Dark Knight explores thematic development, sometimes with just using one note drawn out with the use of signal processing, detuning, and other elements of tension which eventually develop into more rhythmic structures or the typical "Zimmer pulse" which are trademark elements of his compositions for Pirates of the Caribbean sequels, Gladiator and Crimson Tide. However, in each movie, Zimmer masterfully weaves a predominant motif in the style and flavor of each film. In Crimson Tide, the oscillation of the submarine's sonar became an echo within the score. In Gladiator, the mechanics and timing of the Roman Legion resounded as a musical countdown to the unleashing of hell. And in Pirates, the main theme became a montage mimicking the rocking of a pirate's ship at sea. br / br /For Dark Knight, this is certainly a dark movie with explosive twists and turns throughout, but the main characters have their own dark secret personalities which Zimmer captures in an ambient way. After watching the movie, I listened to the soundtrack with great enthusiam, and then went back to the movie again with focus on the deployment of these themes, whether in part or as a whole. Sometimes, you miss these details when you are first watching a film of this sort because your focus leans towards the visual, and somewhat less as to the background soundtrack. But I suggest getting this soundtrack and enjoying it on its own, then go back and see the film again. It will simply astonish all of your senses. I also was amazed at Heath Ledger's performance as The Joker, but that's another story.
 Hans and James make a great team! November 13, 2008

I love both composers and to have them work together for this soundtrack is great.
Nothing Special October 27, 2008
W. Banis (San Bernardino, CA)
Really the only thing special about this Limited Edition is a VERY small booklet with some concept art. Better to the just the CD. It IS a good CD, though.
a real modern action movie soundtrack October 15, 2008
Sandy K.
When i heard for the first time Batman Begins soundtrack, i said " it's shame, the Danny Elfman theme, from the first Batman 1989, was completely erased". But after listening again entire soundtrack, i said "Wouahh! It's really huge!!!" br /And this soundtrack push even further all Batman theme. It's amazing how much orchestral instruments, percussions elements and electronic sounds mix perfectly together. br /Very impressive on a good Hi-Fi system.
