The Dark Knight Song ideas for a TDK music video

[gqxsensazn]

I've been thinking about creating a music video for the movie. I did two for Batman Begins and it was pretty fun. I'm having trouble searching for songs that would fit the overall tone of the film. Do you have any suggestions?
I've thought about using "Citizen Soldiers" by 3 Doors Down or something from Breaking Benjamin.

No chav music or Linkin Park please.

 

[Terminator]

Weird, but I had an idea using this...

I wanted to do a Joker one using Radiohead's Nobody Does it better/Spy Who Loved Me cover thingy.

 

[Darkness Falls]

Funny you should mention citizen soldiers

i used that song in my first tdk vid

for my second one i used "these Days" also by 3 doors down,, cause i felt it captured the overall concept and themes of the movie

Mogwai - We're No Here is an awesome "song"... a pretty badass vid could be made using that track.

"Send in the Clowns" by Cold is an awesome/chaotic number and fits well with the Joker

Yeah, just don't use anything that even sounds like "Nu-Metal".

I remember when they were promoting Begins they had one commercial that had a Nickleback song over it. My heart sank at the time, but luckily none of the crap featured in the film. Nolan knew much better.

Yep Katie Holmes even confirmed on TRL that Green Day were gonna make songs for Batman Begins, they even used level's "living inside of me" in one of the tvspots.

Nine Inch Nails

Nine Inch Nails

Seconded. There's a lot of instrumental stuff that would fit brilliantly and before anyone jumps in with "oh noes not more metal crap" it's not. The style of some of his instrumentals are borderline classical orchestral score with a slightly dirty edge. (Zimmer's joker theme has been compared to NIN in style).
Snyder used "just like you imagined" for the 300 trailer and it was pretty awesome IMO.

i always thought mr self destruct would fit really well with the joker . i kinda wanna make a vid with that .

I kinda wanna see that! t:

There's a lot of nin stuff that would fit perfectly lyrically if you focus on the Joker/Batman relationship - The Wretched springs to mind, and with The Frail instrumental as a lead-in would give a good long piece to work a video up to. The Great Destroyer could work too, and at a stretch, My Violent Heart. Demon Seed lyrics would fit, but I'm not so sure the sound is not a bit too poppy-industrial for a DK vid.

Earlier instrumental pieces such as "the mark has been made" would be a good fit, and the aforementioned "just like you imagined" and there's a bucket load of stuff from Ghosts too, seing as it's pretty much purely instrumental.

Can you tell I'm a bit of a NIN fan

i definitely agree. nine inch nails is awesome .

i think " the four of us are dying " would be a great choice if you wanna talk about instrumentals . or " help me i am in hell " . " pinion " or " 31 ghosts IV " or " 19 ghosts III " or " pilgrimage " would work well with the joker . damn , now i'm giving out all these ideas i've had for making some vids and now someone might take them !!!

massive attack..... Angel.

 

[titan101]

what about excess by tricky ?

 

[gqxsensazn]

I definitely wanted to stay away from Nu-Metal but I guess Breaking Benjamin is included lol.

I felt a dark, mellow song fit Batman. Something within the genre of trip-hop might work. In my first MV, I used "Darkness" by Darren Hayes. I wanted scenes that fit with the lyrics.

Mogwai is a great idea. No lyrics, just awesome. Try "Batcat," by Mogwai. Here's the link for a listen...

bump, for the **** of it .

There is only ONE song I can think of that can do justice for a Dark Knight themed Music video.

3 words... "Knights... of... Cydonia..." by Muse.

It would be PERFECT for the Dark Knight. If I had the software, I'd make the video already. I'm surprised somebody hasn't put them together.
