[@karimali9699]

What I liked about this batman, is that he realized at the end of the movie that he needed to be more then just a nightmare for criminals. Especially through the beginning we saw how that man he saved was also afraid of him. At the end realized that while the criminals have to fear him at the same the civilians have to see him as a Symbole of hope, that one day gotham will be saved

One thing I've always liked about Giacchino is that he's someone who grew before our eyes. He's not from a previous generation, like John Williams, Danny Elfman, Mark Isham or many others that were already established by the time my generation - 90's kids, 2000's teens - started paying attention to names in the credits. In the 2000's, he gradually started to grow, with "The Incredibles" being his first big mark. And look at him now, look at him go, making themes for Batman.

Bruce transforms from the businessman persona into a determined crusader for justice. He's a man with a mission. He comes down to the cave, puts on his suit. His objective? Cleanse Gotham from all of the criminals and that is the only thing that matters, nothing else occupies his mind. Man, I can't wait for March.

[@Kendog282]

I have a feeling it’ll play when Bruce and Selina are on screen together… The softness indicating something romantic or at least a definite connection but then as the theme starts to become darker, they turn away as they can’t have that kind of relationship right now. Then becoming epic again as it leads into Batman doing what he does best, the mission. Just a theory but pretty much what I saw listening to this. It’s a great theme.

[@-adarathecat-9011]

I realized something about this theme: In the official trailer, the riddler asks the question "It can be cruel, poetic or blind. But when it's denied, it's your violence you may find..." The three most sensible answers would be justice, love, or vengeance. And this theme shows all three. The first half begins with a solemn theme of a hero (that is also seen in other superhero scores), which would symbolize justice. Then it slowly fades into a more beautiful and romantic theme, which symbolizes love. Then there is a bout of silence, as the percussion builds up and the rest of the orchestra builds into a much darker theme, which would represent vengeance. Notice how the "vengeance" part takes longer to build, which probably symbolizes that behind the idea of love or justice, what really fuels Batman is vengeance.

I swear the Batman always gets the best music. Great job Mr Giacchino!

Spider-Man does too.

This movie is just beautiful especially the scene where he's like holding a torch with the people of Gotham behind him in the middle of darkness. He's not a hero, he's a crusader that serves as a light for the people lost in the dark.

Seriously, this film is a work of art. Best Batman movie ever made.

[@rol286]

How else do you be a hero?

[@person906]

The Crusader was what he was. At the beginning of the movie he isn't a hero. He becomes a hero in the torch scene you speak of.

@@person906 well said! 👏

[@Gadget-Walkmen]

He IS a hero and a Fantastic one at that! This ENTIRE movie is a 10/10 MASTERPIECE! We have a batman movie where the best character in the film IS Batman/Bruce Wayne! Robert Pattinson is the BEST batman I've seen and he's PHENOMENAL as Batman AND Bruce Wayne entirely while still given him a new stylized look that's FANTASTIC to see! Love this movie to death as it's the BEST batman movie, felt like batman: the animated series BEAUTIFULLY brought to life with it's gorgeous Art Direction and aesthetics! MASTERPIECE of a film throughout!

What you guys said... modern day Classic.

4:30 this part played during the moment when Batman approached and beat up the skull gang and it was genius. It made you see this situation from the gang’s perspective as it felt like a villain was approaching, rather than the actual hero. I knew that he won’t show any mercy to them and I also knew that they deserve it but I was still feeling a little anxious and had goosebumps
