James Newton Howard gave a concert over the weekend in Dallas. Though unable to attend myself, I did hear back from someone who did. After playing the Harvey Dent suite with the orchestra, James spoke highly of working with Nolan and Zimmer on the Begins and Dark Knight. He also mentioned that it was his decision to bow out of the next film. He stated that Nolan and Zimmer had established such good chemistry working on Inception, and he didn’t want to be a third wheel.
Aw he doesn't want to be a third wheel...
Bet Nolan used the old, ''Its not you, its me... we're just too musically different''.
Howard really complimented and even added Zimmer's work. Howard's work was apart of the more emotional points in the first two films. Hopefully Zimmer is up to that task. I don't doubt him though. Since The Last Samurai score is very emotional.

To be honest, JNH really didn't have much to do on the Batman films, certainly not enough for him to display his talent. It's probably best he left this one to Hans.
JNH captured the beating heart and emotional core of the music. How can you say he didn't have enough to do?

What spots on BB & TDK is Teddy Blass responsible for?
None. This is a fan made recreation of Zimmer's TDKR's score from the Prologue. Teddy Blass co runs the NolanFans site. Dragon should've been a bit more specific. lol
Nice attempt by Teddy Blass:
