Movie Score Of The Year. August 13, 2008
I was impressed with Hans Zimmer's score for Batman Begins. But I'm even more impressed his score, along with James Newton Howard for The Dark Knight. All the scores in the film are excellent. But the best is "Why So Serious?". That score really is errie and matches for The Joker.
I bought the limited edition CD because it comes with a booklet and 3 two-side cards of Batman, The Joker and Harvey "Two-Face" Dent. If you heard the score in the movie, and love it, get this soundtrack.
 A 5-Star Soundtrack, a Disappointing "Limited Edition" August 12, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
The music and track listing on the "limited edition" are exactly the same as those on the regular CD/iTunes release...so you're paying a couple of dollars more for different packaging, which includes exclusive photos. With the advent of digital music stores and the decrease of CDs, I would have expected more "incentive" to buy the physical CD. Consumers have spoken in droves: They want the music, not the plastic, and voting with their money by buying from Amazon's music store and iTunes. Why the record company decided to release two CD versions for the same music is a mystery.
A Beautifully Dark And Epic Score August 6, 2008
James Newton Howard and Hans Zimmer, already two of my favorite score composers, have laid music on the table that parallels it's film counterpart film in the deep and the dark, the breathtaking and the jaw-droppingness.
Each composer brings their own unique styles to create a score with as much depth as I have ever heard. The CDs opening track, 'Why So Serious?' begins with strange, screeching strings that slowly rise. The rest of the song is a mixture of orchestral genius and strange noises (ticking...) that absolutely capture the dark intrigue of the Joker.
My other favorite tracks are 'Harvey Two Face,' which features a tune familiar to those who know the first score. The song moves through different emotions, all the while hinting at a nobility and tragedy.
'Like a Dog Chasing Cars' also features a familiar tune, but the composers throw us a bone by layering new themes onto it, keeping it fresh, and amazing.
And then, the culmination of the entire score, 'A Dark Knight' is a 16 minute ride through even more of Howard and Zimmer's wonderful music. All you can do is sit back and marvel.
A wonderful score.

The music is definately a major component to the movie being so awesome. Just buy this CD to see for yourself. You can truly appreciate this on any sound system especially with ones that have nice speakers.
Fine The Dark Knight Film Score from Hans Zimmer and James Newton Howard July 30, 2008
5 out of 5 found this review helpful
Two of Hollywood's most respected, most popular, film composers, Hans Zimmer and James Newtown Howard, have joined forces in composing the most exciting film score I have heard this year not composed by John Williams. Theirs for " The Dark Knight" is quite riveting, with a substantial emphasis on a brooding, melancholy quality for much of the film's music. Indeed, I believe they've surpassed Danny Elfman in composing a score which captures so vividly, the many personal demons which beset Bruce Wayne (Batman), while also giving memorable musical motifs too to his long-time lady friend Rachel Dawes and the dashing young Gotham district attorney Harvey Dent, and, of course, the Joker. Fans of contemporary film music will surely want to add this CD to their collections; it is, without question, among the best of this year.
