The Dark Knight Let's just say...

Before I really listened to it, I wasn't impressed with the Begins score, but now I don't think anything bad about it. But let's just say that Howard and Zimmer do not return for the second film (they aren't available, or aren't asked back or something.) Who would you want to take their place for composers on the sequel?

I would love for Shirley Walker (B:TAS) to compose it. Come up with a brand new theme. One that doesn't sound anything like the Elfman theme, but one that becomes just as popular. The type of theme that stays in your head for days after each time you watch the film. And she can do it.

If not her, here are some choices that I wouldn't mind: Michael Giacchino, John Debey, Christopher Young, Marco Beltrami, or Alan Silvestri.

What do you guys think?


Batman: Continuum

Starring Christian Bale (Batman), Heath Ledger (The Joker), Billy Crudup (Dent), Scarlett Johansson (Catwoman), Tim Roth (Black Mask), Victor Garber (Maroni), Gary Oldman (Jim Gordon), Michael Caine (Alfred), and Morgan Freeman (Lucius Fox).

Personally I very much enjoyed BBs score, and want it to stay mostly the same. They can improve upon it, but keep the same theme at least.

I'm not saying that they shouldn't. I'm just asking who would you like to replace the two IF they didn't come back.

 

[The Shape]

they're coming back. they have to. it's annoying when a movie series changes the music.

CONSISTENCY DAMMIT!

The Zimmer and Howard score was awesome. It's not superhero-esq but very spiritual.

I would like them to play Batman's main theme in full force this time, not just for the car chases.

Shirley Walker would be a good replacement however..

You do know that the theme from TAS is Elfman's right?

Only the opening titles/end credits music of the first series, which was rarely used in the show itself.

Someone who can pick up where Zimmer and Howard left off and work off their existing score.

 

[Ronny Shade]

I liked the score.

My other fav composers are Howrad Shore and John Williams.

Williams isn't right for Batman

Shore? Maybe.

I hope Hanz Zimmer and James Newton Howard return I dig their music with new Batman movie franchise.

I hope they return
