His Batman score is laughably rudimentary


Let’s start off with crude musical score. If you’ve ever listened to Danny Elfman’s Batman score, you know that it’s an exciting feast of exploration and character. Nolan’s Batman score, however, is comprised of two notes. Two. You know the theme I’m talking about. And it never changes. They simply change the pitch and tempo of it. This is rudimentary and lazy composure. Got an action sequence? Here, take this two-note sound byte. What’s that, you need something more dramatic? Hold on there, let me alternate it slightly, sounds a bit different now. Congratulations.

John Williams' Jaws Theme isn't much more complicated, but look how it turned out...

I like Zimmer's work on Batmans and Man of Steel, he was wise enough not to compete against Elfman's and Williams' compositions and went his own way. Sadly after Man of Steel, Amazing Spider-Man 2 and Interstellar he hasn't composed anything particularly interesting, though. That's ten years of almost nothing.

I stopped reading right there.

This is one of the dumbest comments of the decade. Laughable!
