Talk:The Dark Knight (soundtrack)

homage?

At the 15 second mark of track #2, I'm Not a Hero, there is what appears to be a homage to Danny Elman's Batman score for Tim Burton's film. Is this worth commenting about? Do we need someone to do an analysis of the notes for citation purposes? Is this even encyclopedic? 72.28.80.14 (talk) 15:51, 16 July 2008 (UTC)

I hear it too, I've been trying to find an interview or something to see if either one of the composers comments on it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 143.81.248.53 (talk) 19:54, 27 August 2008 (UTC)

Nine Inch Nails

Dunno if it's even worth putting in the article, but I can't keep silent about it...

"Why So Serious?" is truly, raw, pure Nine Inch Nails sound. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.87.105.8 (talk) 14:57, 23 July 2008 (UTC)

Nope. I's actually a rip-off of Francis Lai score for Edith & Marcel, a 1983 french movie. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 189.55.239.251 (talk) 02:05, 7 January 2012 (UTC)

Added reception section

Sorry, Zimmer fans, I've added a reception section, and one of the sources mentions the score's many drawbacks. It's propperly cited, so there shouldn't be any problem with it staying there. --Surten (talk) 19:52, 29 December 2008 (UTC)Surten

Music details

what about adding when each track is used in the film so people can understand what they are hearing e.g. I'm not a hero was used when Batman goes to Hong Kong?

Found this:

1. Why So Serious? (9:14) - The opening scene (bank robbery), shorter in the movie.

2. I'm Not a Hero (6:34) - The Hong Kong mission, preparing and capturing of Lao.

3. Harvey Two-Face (6:16) - Harvey and Gordon/Fox and Bruce/Gordon captures mob bosses.

4. Aggressive Expansion (4:35) - The very end of the movie/murders of Loeb and the judge Surillo/The Joker crashes the party.

5. Always the Catch (1:39) - The only track I can't place anywhere; it is possible it is not used in the movie (It contains both The Joker's theme and a fragment of Nycteris from Batman Begins).

6. A Little Push (2:42) - Batman interrogates Maroni/Harvey interrogates Thomas Shiff.

7. Blood on My Hands (2:16) - Bruce and Rachel

8. I Am the Batman (1:59) - Harvey publicly "admits" that he is the Batman.

9. Agent of Chaos (6:55) - Batman rushes to save Rachel/Rachel and Harvey talk/The Joker escapes/The explosion (Rachel's death)/Aftermath (Rachel's goodbye letter).

10. And I Thought My Jokes Were Bad (2:28) - Bruce drives Lamborghini/The evacuation of hospitals/Bruce saves Coleman Reese.

11. Like a Dog Chasing Cars (5:02) - First I thought this cue was intended to appear during the Batpod chase but was never used; however, this cue was used, but in another moment. When Batman crashes into the Pruit building to save the hostages (clowns). However, only the first half was used, right before the appearance of the Batman heroic theme.

12. Introduce a Little Anarchy (3:42) - This track picks where the last one left off. It goes during the Batman's fight with the terrorists (doctors) and police, while using his sonar. It ends during Batman's fight with the dogs and The Joker.

13. Watch the World Burn (3:47) - Harvey holds Gordon's family as hostages/Tossing the coin/This track is abrubtly ended as the theme from the end of "I'm Not a Hero" enters.

15. A Dark Knight (16:15) - This track is pretty much divided throughout the final scenes of the movie. First, it appears when Batman shows his sonar gimmick to Fox; then, it appears when police search the bridges; then, during the ferries situation; it ultimately makes its appearance at the end of the movie, while Gordon and Batman discuss how to cover Harvey's crimes; when Batman sits on his Batpod in the final scene, the first blast from the beginning of "Aggressive Expansion" pick up; it is then followed by End Credits intro from Batman Begins.

Adding a chart

I believe that somebody should add an chart to show what part of the movie go with each track.Xwingdude (talk) 23:55, 1 September 2008 (UTC)
