Hans Zimmer & James Newton Howard - The Dark Knight Original Motion Picture Soundtrack

Zimmer and Newton Howard bring forward the dark and brooding textures from Batman Begins including: strong orchestral and synthesized percussion, expansive strings and brass, reversed samples, and a variety of other pulsing electronics. This combination in the first film helped to give it a personality like no other superhero film. Now, for The Dark Knight, they take these same elements and force them even further down into deep places.
