To each of us falls a task, and all the emperor requires of us guardsmen is that we stand in line and die fighting. It is what we do best, We die standing.
If you make yourself more than just a man, if you devote yourself to an ideal and if they can't stop you, you become something else entirely – a legend, Mister Wayne.
Christopher Nolan's depiction of the darker, moodier, melancholic Batman along with Hans Zimmer's and James Newton Howard's soundtrack is just absolutely amazing.
I grew up watching those older, shitty-ass popcorn flicks like Batman and Robin and I found nothing but cheap-one-liners and pathetic bubble-gum soundtracks.
This track and Corynorhinus are just absolute master-pieces as they really capture the beautiful essence of Christopher Nolan's Dark Knight.
They told me there was nothing out there, nothing to fear. But the night my parents were murdered I caught a glimpse of something. I've looked for it ever since. I went around the world, searched in all the shadows. And there is something out there in the darkness, something terrifying, something that will not stop until it gets revenge... Me.
At around 5 minutes in you can't help but think of the tragedy that Bruce has endured, then it gets to 6:25, he rose above it all, becoming more than just a better man, but a legend, a silent guardian, a watchful protector, a Dark Knight.
The last section at 6:20 with Batman standing atop the statue watching over the city like a gargoyle after hanging Falcone on the searchlight was just possibly one of the most epic Batman moments ever.
from 2:58 to the end they can use this song as an ending theme to batman 3...It would be a great theme...and why not they used one of the other tracks(barbastella) from this soundtrack as an ending theme for the dark knight...
Does anyone know what the theme is that plays from 2:58 all the way to the end? I mean to say, which character/place/thing does it represent in the movie? If I recall correctly it wasn't even in the movie at all, it was only on the soundtrack. Thanks!
@kingronan89 Its Bruce Wayne's theme by James Newton Howard, and from 1:35 to 2:56 is Henri Ducard's theme by Hans Zimmer, which is the most brilliant theme I've ever heard in my life, if you ask me.
@MurmaiderII Thank you so much for answering! Yeah, I was kind of hoping it was either Batman's or Bruce's main theme, since it has such a noble quality to it. I wish they had used this theme in The Dark Knight, it would have made the movie even better than it already was (which is really saying something)!
I love Twilight, have loved it since Jr. High, hence my stupid youtube name, but i can also appreciate GOOD movies and music like so. I mean quit stereotyping shit ! It IS possible to like both.
Not to sound dumb or anything, but why couldn't they have had awesome music like this in such a popular movie as Twilight? Seriously.. Hans can make better music than Muse any freak'n day of the week
@Harbltron While true, this was indeed a good movie. Even though it seemed like it was shot out of sequence, it was still a very engaging story with a great set of characters played by the correct actors.
@popshopgirly because twilight doesn't deserve such an awesome soundtrack...this instrumental for example: the pain and doom that this music inspires is based on batman's tragic persona and heroic nature... twilight is an idiotic wannabe romantic wannabe vampire shit movie... in my opinion...
This kind of music is ideal for emotional uplifting and inwards search...It's the descendant of classic music like beethoven,wagner etc. Why give it to a pop corn eye raping movie for teenage girls?
@WTAWWR08 It's hard no to take this music seriously i remember the old batman movies, Batman Forever and Batman And Robin, they just didn't feel right they felt silly. When Batman Begins came out with beautiful music and a wonderfully crafted story it was possible to take a batman movie serious. This is probably one of the most beautiful scores ever made and surprisingly enough it's for a batman movie lol Christopher Nolan made it possible for batman to have a meaning again.
@WTAWWR08 erm you can't call Twilight a vampire film, the supposed vampire glows. GLOWS for goodness sake.
Batman is way out of twilights league, even mentioning the two in the same sentence is a travesty unless your saying something along the lines, "Twilight has nothing on Batman."
@Leondias656 I am a Twilightfan, but everybody knows that Batman is a masterpiece within the superhero genre wether it is the comic books, the animation series/movies, and now the great movie masterpieces, which brought in most money (referring to The Dark Knight). You can go to google and compare which movie brought in most money and you´ll see that Batman actually tops all movies. It is no doubt,and no question about that Batman is a historical and huge masterpiece within filmmaking in general
@popshopgirly Muse and Hans make completely different types of music. Twilight is a terrible movie that is created only for the sake of pop culture. So obviously it doesn't need a good soundtrack.
Either you know good content and avoid Twilight, or you've been sucked into the story and they'll get your money, good music or not.
Hans Zimmer, has class. Epic movies like Batman and Tears of the sun, transformers. Big movies, not like Twilight, romantic and boring. He need something more powerful, dark and often some mystic. You see?
You mean to say you want to have your parents killed, have a phobia of bats, become a prisoner in a chinese prisoner, join a terrorist organisation full of ninjas, go under intense training, see the man you wanted to kill your whole life get shot, get your father insulted by a mob boss, go missing for 7 years, blow up the ninja place, and devote yourself to a large responsibility that would likely get you and your loved ones killed?
Sometime bad things that happen in your life are a means to stay alive for the good things in your life, no matter how dangerous they are. That's why batman is alive.
