I would think, based on previous form, that Zimmer would collaborate with one of his pupils. Hoping for a Zimmer /Powell or Zimmer /Jackman combo. However since Zimmer has worked with the Junk on BvS that could be a real possibility.



I've noticed that the Zimmer I DON'T like has featured XL as a collaborator (the latter's music does even less for me). So I really, really hope that doesn't happen. I realize that he might have been fudging a bit when he didn't credit XL for Man of Steel, but at least nominally he did that by himself, so I'd much rather he stayed solo.

That said, I'm not much into with what Zimmer's done since Interstellar (which I thought was both a decent film and good score). Just me.


Whoever Zimmer works with, it will be interesting. Zimmer/JNH approach is quite different to what we heard TASM 2 and BvS. I'd like to see a JNH/Zimmer combo again. I really enjoyed The Dark Knight Trilogy scores, particularly the first two with JNH.


I'm a total weirdo...I do like the Dark Knight and would also not mind seeing Hans with James again, but Dark Knight Rises was my favorite of the lot. I so love the chorus he wrote, the cool rhythmic synth things, etc. And yeah, I'm REALLY weird, that was my favorite Batman movie (ducks). I only like the fun 60s series better.




Fish, fish! Pasta, Pasta!

You like TDKR best? Why not (re)contribute your thoughts on that film in this thread most fine:

Can we please go back to the days when a variety of composers would score big budget films?

Yes, Zimmer, Desplat, Tyler, Giacchino, Mothersbaugh, Pemberton, Bates, and Elfman are all pretty much the same. No variety in the biggest budgets of 2017, nope.

Some would argue that a few names there are very much under the influence of the Zimmer sound. Just saying.

Also, I think your list should really be really just "Zimmer, Desplat, Giacchino"

Tyler, Mothersbaugh, Pemberton, Bates, and Elfman are kind of anomalies now, sadly.

Clearly, he stuck to his retirement from the genre.

He wants a chance score Jennifer Lawrence with Jessica Chaatain..

Why do you think the list should be shortened? The claim was that there was no variety among big budget films. These were all people who scored some of the biggest-budgeted films of the last year. In what way is that anomalous? Yes, there was also some Jackman and Jablonsky and Zimmer/Wallfisch, but so what?

"It's all the same!"
"No it's not!"
"It is if you ignore half of your data points!"

Interesting interview. Always happy to hear from Zimmer.

Interesting. Trailer looks atrocious, I'd expect they're trying to save it in post. Zimmer lends it a big name and potential gravitas. Based on the tone I'd expect something similar to the gloom and doom of BvS, which imo was NOT Zimmer at his best. What he brought to that franchise was the perfect Smallville sense of wonder that the character needed, I don't foresee there being any opportunity to do that here.

He just got stuck doing bad superhero films and didn't want to ruin his legacy doing those films.

'Enough! No more super-hero movies!' eh? I guess he can't help himself.

I thought the trailer looked great! Can’t wait.
