Composers Hans Zimmer and James Newton Howard used an orchestral score remarkable for its scope and its epic sense. Perfectly suited to the action, it is a driving force of the film. Glissendos of dissonant strings, backed by percussion deaf perfectly measured and panting, as in "Like a dog chasing cars, give a rate unparalleled in the dramatic progression. Pizzicati supported by deep bass, as in "I'm not a hero " refers to the galloping horses in a twilight atmosphere, not unlike Schubert who excelled in his songs. Strident beats accelerated in the image of those of the heart, muffled drums which arise from sudden strokes, as in "Why so serious . The entire partition follows the main principles of this type of progression and rhythmic dynamics, using the repetition of themes in orgasmic crescendos as Bolero by Maurice Ravel was an apotheosis in the 20th century. Rich instrumental daring and an infinite variety of tone deaf, peppered with electronic intrusions within a set using a quasi-classical orchestral base, the score is not without lyrical content and could serve as an opera. Overall dark, it adds to the darkness of the film thanks to a pulsating, a chase without limitation, a pulse disheveled, gasping breath. Without invasive it will freeze the blood willingly. In this sense it serves admirably the intentions of the filmmaker and often creates a dark world without hope. She deserves to be listened to alone, even if the images invariably come back easily, as the incredible reversal of the truck upside down in the exact axis of the street at night, when the pursuit of Batman and Joker's in the mythical city ... or like the lips and grimacing sadistic Joker due to the incarnation hallucinatory book that Heath Ledger. How we love what hadst incarnation extreme desire to not lead the actor to l’ultime fatalité.
