Christopher Nolan's caped crusader trilogy-Batman Begins, The Dark
Knight, and The Dark Knight Rises-is considered by many to be one
of the finest translations of comic book characters to the big
screen. The second film in the series, The Dark Knight, was both a
critical and commercial success, featuring an Oscar-winning
performance by Heath Ledger as the Joker. The score-by Academy
Award winner Hans Zimmer and eight-time Oscar nominee James Newton
Howard-also received accolades, including a Grammy. Intricately
interwoven with the sound design-and incorporating Mel Wesson's
ground-breaking ambient music design, -Zimmer's and Howard's music
gives the film an added layer of ominous tones that makes palpable
the menace facing Gotham City. In Hans Zimmer and James Newton
Howard's The Dark Knight: A Film Score Guide, Vasco Hexel delves
into the composers' backgrounds to reveal the many facets of
meaning in the highs and lows of the score. This book also
highlights the working methods of Zimmer and Howard and how they
collaborated with each other and the filmmaking team to create such
a memorable soundtrack. By drawing on unprecedented access to some
of the key creators of the film, the author provides unique
insights into the score's composition. Hans Zimmer and James Newton
Howard's The Dark Knight: A Film Score Guide will be of interest to
cinema and music scholars, as well as fans of both composers.
