The Dark Knight is a soundtrack that makes you fear and admire at the same time. Hans Zimmer's music for "The Dark Knight" is not just the soundtrack to the film, it is his living soul. Every sound, every motif, every melody is imbued with dark beauty and tension. Music makes you feel: Heaviness and hopelessness: Thundering drums, low strings, and hoarse voices create an atmosphere of constant threat and hopelessness, emphasizing the dark sides of Gotham. Heroism and self-sacrifice: When Batman enters battle, the music is filled with heroic power, but with a touch of melancholy, emphasizing his loneliness and the price he pays for his mission. The madness of the Joker: The unpredictability and randomness of the music reflect the madness and chaos that the Joker sows. I would especially like to note: "Why So Serious?" - a melody that has become synonymous with the Joker, embodying his insane humor and danger. "The Joker" - this composition is a real demonstration of chaos and madness, it makes you nervous and does not take your eyes off the screen. "Rise" is the final theme, which symbolizes heroic self-sacrifice and hope for a bright future. The soundtrack of "The Dark Knight" is not just music, it is a work of art that makes you think, feel and experience together with the characters. He emphasizes the drama and atmosphere of the film, making it deeper and more memorable. I recommend it to anyone who appreciates high-quality music and loves superhero movies!

[@janesgems7]

It's odd but... Although the Joker is meant to be as a 'force for evil' in this movie, I can't help but think he, like Wayne and Dent, were victims. Wayne lost his childhood when he lost his parents, Dent was turned into a monster by grief. We don't know what made the Joker what he was. But when he said to Batman, 'I took Gotham's White Knight and brought him down to our level' all I could think was 'he knows he's a monster'. Which meant that once upon a time he was something else. If a good man like Dent could 'fall' then maybe the Joker was once a good man. And that was the real horror. At the end of this film I feltlike weeping, not just for Batman but also Dent, and whoever the Joker once was. What an amazing piece of filmmaking. And what amazing acting, from all of them. Bless you Heath.

[@jjoegr]

+janesgems7 ''If I'm going to have a past, I'd prefer it to be MULTIPLE choice! Hahahhahah!'' But seriously though that comment is deep. It's rare to find something profound and clear like that in the comments of a KZbin video. Good on you!

[@ChuyR.]

the archetype of the joker is of a person that never got a chance to be good, a person that has hated the world since childhold, it happens a lot to some rich kids which get everything from a material standpoint but nothing from an emotinal stanpoint (i.e. a hug from dad) that they dont enjoy the very little details of life, when a kid like this sees people in his sourrandings enjoying the little things in life that sickens him, the first thing is to reject happy moments enjoyed by others, with time such rejection is not enough and he will start to want the rest to live his own misery and then he will start enjoying when people fail on things. I am not saying that's the joker's background and the one that he was once a good man is very romantic, but i prefer that background for darth vader, i like the background of the joker being a bad person all his life better.

[@TheBlackLodger]

Just like in The Killing Joke, the point of him telling people that the scars on his face drove him insane, even though he didn't have scars in TKJ, was to tell people that "one bad day" made him who he is.

[@janesgems7]

+BODDENERGON You can really see the influence of TKJ in this film - the Joker wanted to prove 'just one bad day' could turn someone's life upside down. And chillingly he was proved right: Harvey Dent.

@Ryan Dunham Film-makers attempting to humanize monsters end up making bad people look like heroes. But they're not fooling me. Tom Cruise asked Hollywood, "What are we doing? What are we doing" at the 2002 Oscars. Well, nearly two decades later, they're recognizing and rewarding movies that promote violence between people who disagree with each other. That's what they're doing. That's what they're doing.

[@leroidespirateszoro5985]

Rigel Bellatrix Did you even watch the Joker? The movie shows that a poor person left by the society with no help can become a monster. This only taught me that you shouldn't leave anybody behind ,stop bullying (i'm not a bully tho) and help people with difficulties because you don't know what they're going through. It's absolutely not about riot against society and use violence more frequently. You should try to separate fiction and reality too. Children can't do that much and that's why it is said to avoid showing this film to a child but here you're completely acting like one. And didn't this trilogy do the same as Joker? Look at Harvey Dent he was a good man but becomes evil. If you are criticizing Joker then you'll have to maintain your point for the trilogy too. I always was interested by the Joker's past and how he became who he is and that's why I loved the film Joker. You may not be interested by his story, fine but don't say things like "what are we doing?" like if the film was never meant to exist, that's some childish behavior.

The Dark Knight trilogy is a perfect example of what movies can look like when they have actual care put into them. Christopher Nolan directed, wrote, and produced the trilogy. They are his vision, and they are made exactly to his designs. And for all their flaws and problems, they’re easily some of the best superhero movies of all time. The Dark Knight is even my personal favorite superhero movie ever. Why? Because it’s not some studio product made solely to make money. Nolan cared about what he was making, and it shows. The cinematography, the screenplay, the acting (even Bale’s Batman voice has its charm), the set designs, the use of practical effects, the music (though in all fairness, has Hans Zimmer ever let us down?). These movies aren’t products like Suicide Squad and Justice League, and even some Marvel films like Age of Ultron. The Dark Knight trilogy is flawed, but its successes greatly outweigh them. Nolan had a vision, and what emerged from it was what is, in my opinion, not only the best DC movie, but the best superhero movie ever made, as well as one of the best trilogies. Nolan, Bale and Zimmer made something special, and it shines as an example of what the current DCEU can only dream of surpassing.

This score is written in D minor, which is referred to as the saddest and dark key signature, even by man classical composers. Hans and James Newton also change the key signature from natural D minor to Harmonic D minor which makes it sound darker and scarier. This key signature is my personal favourite. It makes it sound as heroic as Batman and at the same time gives you the chills from Joker's character. Truly beautiful.

[@danettte]

The news of Kevin Conroy's passing is devastating. To help cope with my personal fan-born grief, I instinctually began to listen to this track at full volume. Such is the enduring power of the Batman as a pop culture icon. At his best, his exploits in both print and on screen help us to confront grief and sorrow. The best of his stories can inspire us to meet the moment with our heads held high, even in the dark. And for 30 years, Conroy exemplified this, contributing so very much to this legacy. Both "Batman: The Animated Series" and "The Dark Knight Trilogy" are works equally worthy of the cape and cowl. And this track remains my favorite piece of music in the character's 80 plus year legacy... So far. It's mournful moments like these that remind us why we need Batman.

Well, DC pretty much dominates every area (Games, TV, Cartoons, Comics) EXCEPT movies lol. But until they can do a Justice League movie that doesn't feel too Avengers-ish, the general audience would still go with Marvel. And the only way that I think DC can do that is make a Nolanized Justice League, and use Bat vs Supes to integrate Batman into a more fantasy-ish world. I mean, what's the f*cking point of squeezing Wonder Woman and Aquaman in when this is the prefect time to integrate Nolan's Bat in (set it between Begins and TDK), and then have a Wonder and Aqua solo film later.

It's because of the special teams who had been helping him. Interesting enough, when Hollywood's new king entered the Twilight Zone the next year, many on his team who helped on his not-so-special segment, segment 2, also helped George Miller make that sensational magic in the last segment, segment 4.

But breaking down what you said about 'deranged, frightening man in history'. In The Dark Knight's Joker's case, he makes his intentions known (with the use of violence and fear) to prove his point to Batman and perhaps a jab at democracy that; "... when the chips are down, these civilized people, they'll eat each other. See I'm not a monster, I'm just ahead of the curb". -Joker to Batman. "...upset the established order, and everything becomes chaos...and you know the thing about chaos? It's fair". -Joker to Dent. Unlike some REAL-LIFE historical deranged frightening men; who initiates a philosophy of utopian propaganda and once achieve superiority demands the segregation, capture and execution of thousands of people in concentration camps or killing fields. Or the act of violence on terrorism will bring peace and resolution. Note that I DO NOT CONDONE any form of violence and terrorism at all. Neither would I smile at those real-life deranged frightening men. This was purely a tribute to Ledger's portrayal.

It's kind of disrespectful that they're trying to sweep TDK trilogy under the rug like that so soon. Bale is still the definitive for an entire generation , just relax and wait a while before introducing the character again. Although it was a similar thing when they replaced Keaton with Kilmer. And now there are talks of a Spider-Man reboot when I was warming up to Andrew Garfield. I hate hollywood.

[@kaligasm1947]

Agreed. It would have been unmissable.

[@Tanfo77]

This upcoming batman is not a reboot, it's bats in his older self so it's not a reboot. Don't know the plot but if it's based on Miller's TDKR, he might have already retired and had to come back.

[@Shrek2ForDVD]

I'm still curious to see what Ben Affleck could bring to the table. Like before no one said a good batman game could be made, and now we have the arkham series. The Christopher Nolan trilogy will always have a place in my heart, but we should also move on and see what other villians they could bring in. Even if it does go to shit, at least we still have one trilogy that did well :)

[@arlind530d]

Tdk 2 is a masterpiece, the other 2 are not bad

[@bilalrauf9777]

This sound track has helped me through the toughest of times i listen to it whenever i am down on hope. It "literally" picks me up......... Surely one of the best works of Hans..... although bob kane created batman but it was frank miller who made him ......" THE DARK KNIGHT"

[@wolfiedude14]

bilal rauf couldn't agree more

[@lambymakesnogoodcontentthe8832]

This film completely changed the batman genre for me.

[@mo-em6bb]

bilal rauf Neither frank miller nor bob kane created batman, it was bill finger who created batman but due to the lack of approach, he sold the rights to bob kane. We miss you bill.

Christian Bale will always be my Batman/Bruce Wayne. The Dark Knight Trilogy will always be my definitive Batman/Bruce Wayne story. I do like Ben Affleck as Batman, but nothing the DCEU will ever do will ever compare or eclipse what we saw during TDKT. Especially The Dark Knight. Nothing. This was the definitive Batman/Bruce Wayne story. No matter how many new film versions of Batman may come along, nothing will ever change that. Nothing.

[@mcgyverb1664]

Karen Catizone I agree, this trilogy still rules over everything Snyder did, I like man of steel, but it’s not like the dark knight.

[@Johnlindsey289]

Bah not my favorite version as i will take the animated series/animated films/Burton films over the Nolan films despite the first 2 Nolan films were good but the third was a disappointing film

Drive through Chicago's downtown loop playing this song, you'll feel like you're in Gotham City, and it is real. Zimmer's best work here.

Gotham is based off of NY I thought

@Ryan Dunham Gotham City = Based on NYC, but the TDK series was filmed mostly in Chicago

[@Baghdadmylove]

Everyone who worked on this trilogy should be proud of this perfect beauty they made.

[@ko7577]

It wasn't about pride. It was about getting monkeys into the theater and throwing enough shit at them until they were satisfied and threw it back.

[@kynas4966]

Everything about the Batman trilogy by Christopher Nolan is legendary. I'm an MCU fan but even though after combining all those twenty or so movies including Endgame, they can and NEVER will reach this level of AWESOME.

[@vinibiza2176]

Hans Zimmer. A man who can reach to the core of human emotion and perseverance. A man who can tell the story of any human great or small by the simple notion that inspiration & hope play hand in hand with robust fortes. A true Mozart of our time and we don't know it. Yet.

[@TheScrunt]

That's why he made the music for boss baby

[@ko7577]

Mozart would not have done the soundtrack to a Batman movie.

[@andyng5321]

Tom Chang is also a Mozart of our time. He can compose and sing pitches even higher than women with his natural voice. kzbin.info/www/bejne/kGPWkKFvfN9mlbs

[@whitejames01]

Simply the best movie and score ever

[@gabrielaj.p3045]

8:00 This part really hit me!!!!! Thank you so much Mr. Zimmer

[@thelostdinosaur4333]

Why most comment talk about Hans Zimmer? Do you forget Jame Newton Howard? He help Hans Zimmer composed this soundtrack

[@KidArkx]

Mitchell Kyler Martin Probably won't ever work like that. There are many shadow writers who make songs for celebrities that get a paltry cut and no recognition. The bigger name always gets the most credit , sadly.

[@Linkmitch]

This piece was solely composed by Hans Zimmer. As for the rest of the soundtrack we won't be able to know how much each person actually contributed.

[@rigelbellatrix8410]

I've listened to both James Newton Howard and Hans Zimmer over the years. I know the difference between the two. The great music in this movie is all composed by Zimmer. The average music in this movie is composed b Howard.

[@danilovato284]

sexonthebeach well, that's a lie, cause JAMES NEWTON HOWARD is also VERY famous. They composed it TOGETHER (Batman Begins and TDK soundtrack). In the album you can see the Two names together, and you can search it if you want. You can see it for yourself in Spotify also. Hans Zimmer also said in a video that they composed it *together*

[@rigelbellatrix8410]

Well, like I said before. Zimmer composed the great music in this particular movie. Howard composed the mediocre music in this particular movie. I've listened to both composers over the years, and there is a difference between the two. The two didn't work on the same pieces of music together. They may have worked on the same movie together, but not the same scenes. It's pretty straight-forward, especially if you know and can recognize the different styles and different sounds from each of the film composers.

[@Gofy1983]

...a true masterpiece

[@en.mohdzamribinismail9282]

Zimmer on his best..the glorious, the darkness, the coldness. This gonna be a timeless masterpiece.
