The Dark Knight Rises Favorite Score of the Trilogy?

[georgec]

I agree that some of the themes from BB by JNH are some of the most emotional, touching pieces in the trilogy. I like that Zimmer continued to use them.

In addition, I enjoy Zimmer's solo work on TDK and TDKR, and his synthesized style works for the most part in the movies. But I slightly miss JNH's contribution overall.

Plus, I feel like we never got a real Batman theme. In BB the idea was that Batman didn't earn this theme yet. In TDK I thought his theme might be this tune: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sapgqKLj4cI#t=1m3s

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think that theme showed up in TDKR. Still, I very much liked the cue in "Imagine the Fire" which showed up when the cops were closing in on Batman in the first hour. (at 1:50 in Track 13)

I thought that part of "Imagine the Fire" would play as Batman fights his way to Bane in the war scenes.

Damn "Why Do We Fall" is getting some serious love on here, its my favorite track too but i thought i was the only one haha... I love that theme, its definitely the Bruce Redemption theme as it comes in in very cool places in the movie and builds to the epic pit climb obviously. I think overall TDKR has my favorite score which is incredible as i was pretty underwhelmed by it the first few weeks! Its the most epic and full of the scores!!!

My overall Order would be:


A Dark Knight/Watchful Guardian
2nd half of Wayne Manor
Why Do we Fall
Im not A Hero
Fear Will Find you ("They Know, They Just Dont Care")
Imagine the fire
The Fire Rises
Molossus
Barbastella

 

[AnneFan]

Off the top of my head I like these ones:

Vespertilio
Eptesicus
Barbastella
Artibeus
Tadarida
Atrozous
Nycteris
Molossus

Why So Serious?
I'm Not A Hero
Aggressive Expansion
A Little Push
Like A Dog Chasing Cars
I Am The Batman
And I Thought My Jokes Were Bad
Agent of Chaos
Introduce A Little Anarchy
A Dark Knight
Buyer Beware
A Watchful Guardian

A Storm Is Coming
On Thin Ice
Gotham's Reckoning
Mind If I Cut In?
Nothing Out There
Despair
Fear Will Find You
Why Do We Fall?
Imagine The Fire
Rise
Risen From Darkness
No Stone Unturned
The End

Can someone please PM where to find these extended BB and TDK scores I keep reading about?

I bought the BB extended score a few years back off ebay, it was a promotional score from overseas that had every track from the movie, as it played out in the movie, in the order it played in the movie. Some of the best tracks are the short ones like 'Preparation' as i mentioned before and 'Are you ready to begin?' where Ducard kicks Bruce's tired ass after he makes it up to the LOS lair. Much better than the official one. Just went over on ebay but they don't seem to have it. I have it saved on my iTunes.

Never been a fan of TDK score.TDKR is much superior.

People, is the music that starts at 00:10 from Gotham's Reckoning or some official score at all? It sounds a bit like Gotham's Reckoning but it a bit different as well.

The Dark Knight

TDK RISES

Batman Begins

I'll tell you what it is. It is an absolute absurdity that it wasn't included in the soundtrack!!!!!! (the whole track not just that moment.)

Spoiler

Seriously though it isn't in the soundtrack though it is the the same little moment that plays in Gotham's Reckoning

The moment is played here as well (sounds best here IMO) - 11:33

Absolutely... I hope they will eventually decide to put it on as a bonus track or something It is one of the best!

I won't hold my breath, but indeed, I'd love to see it released. It's not in the movie, but neither is 'Like a Dog Chasing Cars' in TDK.

 

[Shpati]

Is there an extended, expanded, or complete score for the Dark Knight? I know there are some for Batman Begins.

I know the Batman Begins' expanded and extended soundtracks included the scores from their trailers, so maybe the Dark Knight Rises Trailer 4 music will be included in a future special soundtrack.

I managed to find a good quality of the score in trailer 3. No luck for trailer 4 though, all really bad quality.

I won't hold my breath, but indeed, I'd love to see it released. It's not in the movie, but neither is 'Like a Dog Chasing Cars' in TDK.

I am pretty sure "Like Dog Chasing Cars" was in The Dark Knight.

The first half was (start of Prewitt building scene), but I don't think the later half starting at roughly 2:37 was.

 

[Golgo-13]

Of all the 3 soundtracks, TDKR has most of the music from the actually movie. BB is terrible in that department which is why i hunted down and found the extended score.
I never understand why they do that. The only track that is noticeably missing from TDKR is the Selina/Taggert bar shoot out score.

"Like a Dog Chasing Cars" beginning is played in the hospital chaos scene.

 

[Shpati]

I am pretty sure the extended and complete score for Batman Begins is a bootleg soundtrack or a fan made soundtrack. I went all over the internet trying to buy the soundtrack, but no stores sell it. So I am guessing it is not an official soundtrack.

Also, I was reading on other forums about people talking about the extended soundtrack as well as the complete score. And they say things like "it's a bootleg, you can hear the sound effects in the background."

georgec, I've always felt that this is Batman's TDK trilogy theme for me
Especially the intense part at 1:27. I even made it my ringtone
Sadly no one recognizes it

Do you know if the extended score for Batman Begins is an official release or a bootleg?

 

[CJ]

Batman Begins.

I often listen to the credits just for the amazing score.

Edit: Oh, you mean my favorite tracks.

Like A Dog Chasing Cars and Why So Serious? are my favorites.

I bought it some years back off ebay....if memory serves me correctly, it didn't look bootleg at all. It seemed like a promotional copy that they hand out (?) for certain ppl to hear the score. It's sounds great.

You think you can give me the tracklost to yours? I have been looking and there seems to be different tracks for many listings of the soundtrack.

Is yours like this one?

Not in its entirety, which was going to be played during the armoured car chase scene.

It was two disks. I have to find the disks themselves as i took a few of the songs off my BB ITunes playlist after i imported it into iTunes, but these are 99% of them in order:

Batman
Legend
Are you ready to begin
Wayne Empire
The Wayne Tragedy and Training
Revenge
Facing Fear
Bat Cave
Return of Bruce Wayne
Fox Department
Base jump
first attack
Capture
Scarecrow
Preparation
Escape
Chase
Unmasked
Immortal
Invasion
Attack on Gotham
Train Fight
Aftermath
Finale
End Credits

As I remember, I thought "Like Dog Chasing Cars" and "Introduce a Little Anarchy" were both used in the SWAT and Ferry scenes.

I gotta rewatch those scenes and relisten to those tracks to see what I am missing.

Thanks! I am going to try to get my hands on one of these.

Imagine The Fire is the best to me.

The scene its played in is perfect, when Batman is riding in the tunnel and right when the score picks up at about 1:09 he takes out a guy on the dirt bike to make his first appearance back. I think I have listened to it about 100 times now.
