Hit: 5 Stars
Brooding, sinister and violent soundtrack, with lots of quotations from Wagner and other romantic composers, produced in an electronic environment.
Zimmer's music for The Thin Red Line stands out as one of the most gripping scores ever to feature in a movie; the music for "Batman Begins" equals that in intensity, imaginative power and sheer scariness.
Part of the reason this recording works so well separated from the movie is that it comes over as a coherent collection of musical essays (on the theme of monstrous bats, full of flapping, leathery wings, the pounding of strained hearts and the headlong rush of predator and prey).
Great fun to listen to if you need to write a dark novel (as I do) and highly recommended to almost everybody.

Too many people have tried to compare both the movie, Batman Begins, and its soundtrack to previous efforts. The problem is that Nolan's Batman is so much more real than those of the past. And that's probably the best way to describe Zimmer and Howard's score. It's not overdone. It isn't cheap or childish. It doesn't feel like fantasy. The essence of the music tells the story of flesh and blood, of a man who has been wounded and refuses to let that destroy him. You can feel the desire to do good coupled with the pull towards an inner darkness in the throbbing strings throughout the score. It perfectly carries the dark mood of a mind possessed with the conflict between justice and revenge. From the first moments, where a rhythmic thumping like great bat wings hovers on the periphery, to the repeating chant-like fanfare rising near the end, it speaks of darkness and loss. This is music for black, abandoned alleyways, for the deepest and most enigmatic wells of the psyche. There a moments where it descends to almost disturbing levels and here the hallucinatory sound effects of the Scarecrow are well-placed. Artibeus, particularly, communicates fear and confusion. On the other side of the coin, the tender piano and cello moments in Eptesicus and Corynorhinus remind us that underneath the black suit, the Dark Knight is just a man who bleeds like everyone else.Free Music Review: Exquisite

This is an excellent soundtrack - no ands, or, buts about it. I am not familiar with Elfman's score, but whether people think this soundtrack reaches those expectations or not, there's nothing to complain about here. It is a very rare thing when it comes to sountracks that I can listen to every single song. I never skip anything, this CD is that good, and I listen to it constantly.
As far as I'm concerned, that's easily enough to earn a 5 star rating. Elfman may have a great score for all I know, but this music couldn't have been better. It fit the movie beautifully. Many of the songs consist of variations of the main theme, but I happen to like the main theme a lot, so it doesn't bother me in the slightest.
I loved it. Some people won't love it as much as I do, but regardless, this is very well composed.
Free Music Review: Elfman score still a classic, Zimmer/Newton Howard do a fine job too!
Hit: 5 Stars
Nice balance of action cue music and lighter mood/motifs exploring the emotional/psychological side of the Dark Knights origins. I'm still a huge fan of Tim Burton's Batman but still thoroughly enjoyed Chris Nolan's new vision. One of the few scores this year I've enjoyed repeated listening too as I find film music of late (as with recent Hollywood movies) uninspired.
