"Batman! Batman! Why is he running, Dad?" "Because we have to chase him." "He didn't do anything wrong." "Because he's the hero Gotham deserves, but not the one it needs right now. So we'll hunt him.

best ending in the trilogy. It gives you some regretness, sadness, bitterness. The first ending in Batman Begin is find, and the third one is the worst.
Watched THE BATMAN, Liked pattinson as the young bruce wayne. But, I'd still say, Bale was the perfect bruce wayne❤️The perfect DARK KNIGHT. TDK is still the best batman movie so far❤️
Don't score a movie like you're one of them. You're not!... You see, their key changes, their harmonies, it's a bad joke. Dropped at the first sign of a paycheck. They're only as good as the movie allows them to be. I'll show you. When the chips are down, these... these civilized composers, they'll eat each other. See, I'm not a songwriter, I'm just ahead of the curve.
@@Blueshamrock1 I'm 63. I was born in 1961. A different world then. God inspires the artists that make films like this, This is the classical music of our age. These are desperate times for so many.

TooCoolForYou so the police have to chase him because they think he is bad, but when he says 'because he can take it' it means batman can handle the fact that hes being chase :)
@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.
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.
@@leroidespirateszoro5985 Though I appreciate your comment that seems somewhat thoughtful, I'll have to disagree with you that my quoting Tom Cruise from the 2002 Oscars is childish behavior. Perhaps I will respond to your comment in greater detail here in the near future. Until then, I commend you on your civilized response. There are plenty of folks here at TH-cam who are anything but civilized, and they go uncensored by the TH-cam administrators. Administrators who have me in their cross-hairs.
A hero can be anyone. Even a man doing something as simple and reassuring as putting a coat around a young boy's shoulders to let him know that the world hadn't ended.
Back when I was homeless in the summer going into 9th grade with my drug addicted father going from hotel to hotel sleeping in the car this is what I listened to weirdly enough. It gave me a lot of strength in those scary times. And now listening to it I’m reminded of the loneliness and pain I felt. It’s like a bittersweet feeling
15 years later, I come back to this song time and time again. Dark, beautiful, painful, and hopeful all wrapped in 16 minutes. This is a masterpiece at its finest and has left an indelible mark in my ears.
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.
+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 TH-cam video. Good on you!
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.
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.
+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.
@noobtommy4739 Thank you! Finally someone else is saying that The Dark Knight Trilogy isn't just your run of the mill piece of sh!t MCU, jargon. The adults go see The Dark Knight Trilogy while the kids can go watch those colorful MCU superhero bullshit excuse for a movie series! 😆😅🤣😂
He's the hero Gotham deserves, but not the one it needs right now. So we'll hunt him. Because he can take it. Because he's not our hero. He's a silent guardian, a watchful protector. A dark knight
I loved the way this triology was produced, but Bale was not may favorite Batman. I have to go with Ben Affleck, as he looks EXACTLY like Bruce Wayne from the comics (Check out the Wikipedia Batman page for a pic of Bruce), and he's the most physical Batman we've ever seen, just like in the comics.
For all the DC vs Marvel thing. Marvel may have a better average of their movies. But a DC movie, when done right, will always be better, just like this movie. When done wrong, we have Green Lantern lol.
literally the dark knight series is DC's best movies lol whereas marvel are huge within the movies genre but hey looks like DC is doing well in the tv series genre with arrow and soon the flash.
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.
@@denijovanovic9935 I think he also did a great job in Brokeback Mountain, but I agree that this is his best role. Also the way he transcends into the character is just incredible.
*James Gordon:* Why is he running, Dad? *Commissioner Gordon:* Because we have to chase him. *James Gordon:* He didn't do anything wrong. *Commissioner Gordon:* Because he's the hero Gotham deserves, but not the one it needs right now. So, we'll hunt him, because he can take it. Because he's not our hero: He's a silent guardian, a watchful protector... a _Dark Knight._
@Ryan Dunham my favourite one, liam neeson as Ra's al Ghul is best, I also love the wohle Training aspect of the film and the little screentime We see Bruce in his Suite, it make's everything more impactful
I love batman because he's a human being like us ,he has no other superpower except for his will and determination and although he's rich ,he isn't arrogant of his wealth,no other superhero can come as realistic as him
When all the stars align....we have a masterpiece Heath Ledger - The Joker. . Christian Bale- Batman Hans Zimmer- Background music Christopher Nolan- Director
..wonderful words for (probably!!!) the biggest film director !! He had made 2 impressive things for this world: The Batman trilogy and Interstellar!!!
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.
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
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.
the harmonic minor isn't always used to be scarier, as most baroque and classical music in minor keys is also in the harmonic minor as it means that the V7 is not a dominant chord, and creates more pleasing sounds, at least to bach ears.
@@danettte this, like all things with art, is about perspective and emotional dialect within. D minor, d major, it makes no difference, the listener translates the tone.
while i have no education in the keys you speak of I can only presume you're correct simply because this music makes me feel the way you said it should. I humbly give you kudos. Very well said!!
He kinda did, there’s an animated Batman movie that takes place in the Nolanverse (between Batman Begins and The Dark Knight) and Kevin Conroy voices Batman in it
@@MN-mn3qv You're correct, he's the best actor so far to play Batman in *any* movie. Go rewatch the series if you disagree with me. He perfectly portrays what Batman is, what Batman is supposed to be. In my eyes, he brought this character more to life than any other person ever has, or ever will.
Yeah he doesn't have powers yet he has the balls to save everyone all the time and step up to the most powerful beings in the universe.. not a hero at all, you're 100% right.
I think this works better with bane instead of joker, as joker really just wanted to prove that everyone is just the same as him, he made harvey fall gotham's "white knight" into two-face Whereas bane is as he said "gotham's reckoning." Good phrase nonetheless
@@casmsfrought9956 I feel if Ledger was alive there would've been a story line better suited which definitely could've made this comment more applicable
Because he's the hero that Gotham deserves, but not the one it needs right now...and so we'll hunt him...because he can take it...because he's not a hero...he's a silent guardian, a watchful protector...a Dark Knight
Barrosy Gaming You can see the Nolan trilogy: -Batman Begins(2005) -The Dark Knight(2008) -The Dark Knight Returns(2012) The Tim Burton´s classic Batman(1989) Batman Returns(1992) (Pls don´t see the Joel Schumacher movies)
Tom Chang is also a Mozart of our time. He can compose and sing pitches even higher than women with his natural voice. th-cam.com/video/Z2s_n9Gz3_Y/w-d-xo.html
11:10 Joker: and here... we... *go* 11:15 Joker looks up and realizes that his plans have been foiled... "what were you trying to prove? that deep down, everyone's just as ugly as you?" the dramatic pitch change at 11:21 made this scene so memorable for me. Thank you Zimmer and all those involved for such a phenomenal soundtrack! Really made the movie what it is.
Natascha: But this is a democracy, Harvey. Harvey Dent: When their enemies were at the gates, the Romans would suspend democracy and appoint one man to protect the city, and it wasn't considered an honor it was considered a public service. Rachel Dawes: Harvey, the last man that they appointed to protect the republic was named Caesar and he never gave up his power. Harvey Dent: Okay fine...you either die a hero, or you live long enough to see yourself become the villain.
I was a guy who was never sure of watching this trilogy ..I never understood why everyone liked it so much until i actually watched it....And it was one of the best decisions i ever made, one i will never regret...Bought tears to my eyes...Hats off to Christopher Nolan, Christan Bale and of course Heath Ledger for this amazing film and franchise!!
Got to say, I'm not a fan of either DC or Marvel, but at one point I was extremely interested in all this ordeal. However, things change and at some points interests change as well. I sometimes look back at the times when I enjoyed Marvel Cinematic Universe, first times I watched Dark Knight's trilogy. Looking at this now, majority of Marvel's films are ultimately just a popcorn flick at best for me, having little of value now. But the "Dark Knight"... Every time I rewatch it I feel just as mesmerized as the first time I watched it, as it leaves such an intellectual impact upon viewing. In short, the film is timeless.
+Ken Catus I agree completely with you! Same story as mine. When someone recomended a superhero movie cus they loved i was always like "meeh, sure, they are good to pass some popcorn along" and that was it. Then i went to see The Dark Knight to the cinema , without any knowledge of Batman whatsoever. I was blown away :´). Iv taken this trilogy so seriously, its burried so deep inside me now. I dont think ill ever watch a movie that makes me feel this way again :(
I love this track, because it isn't triumphant. The Joker won. He totally won. Evil prevailed in the movie - and this whole track is about Batman picking himself back up and fighting on anyway. It's downbeat and tragic, but still shakes you to your bones. Just an amazing piece of music.
That's why it's one of the best films of all time. A superhero film where the Villain survived and actually won in the end. Marvel could never reach this level
I think it was a big mistake by DC to reboot the Batman franchise again. TDK trilogy is probably the best superhero trilogy ever made. I know the DC universe is to unreal for Nolan's Batman, but I think it could work. When rebooting, people get's confused. Nolan already established a very popular Batman that most people can relate to. Imagine seeing Christian Bale's Batman vs Henry Cavill Superman. That would be awesome.
A reboot was bound to happen but I hate how it's so soon. Really? an announcement one year after TDKR? It sounded like they were taking the piss. 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.
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.
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 :)
Hey guys, I just uploaded a video on my channel on the real meaning behind the Dark Knight. It’s an incredible video that I spent a lot of time making and I would appreciate it if you guys checked it out! It really would mean a lot to me and I’m sure everyone would enjoy it! Thank you so much in advance! I hope everyone stays safe and stays well! Link: th-cam.com/video/uRl8FUDRBT/w-d-xo.html
"And here we go!".......(Tough civilian puts the trigger/detonator away)..."What were you trying to prove??? That deep down, everyone's as ugly as you? You're alone!"
"The hero that we deserve, but not the one we need right now" "A watchful protector, a guardian ......... The Dark Knight but he definetly isn't light" ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ "You've given them everything Bruce, save yourself, come with me" "No not everything, not yet" "Free them when the fighting begins, we need to save this city"
" I see a beautyfull city, and brilliant people rising from this abyss. I see the lives for which i lay my life, peacefull, usefull, prosperous, and happy. I see that i hold a sanctuary in their hearts, and in the hearts of their descendants, generations hence. It is far, far better thing that i do, than i have ever done, and far, far better rest that i go to, than i have ever known"
This quote stuck in my mind since i watched it and with time it feels to understand that it has more meanings "Why do we fall Bruce. "So we can learn to pick ourselves up" ♥️♥️
I saw this movie at midnight on opening day in summer 2008. I did not sleep that night. I did my morning run after the sun came up. It was a hot, beautiful summer day in the South. Still, this music kept playing in my head. It stayed with me. I thought about this movie the rest of the next day before going to see it again a few days later. It overwhelmed me so much I didn't even have an opinion on it. After seeing it a second time, I decided it was a masterpiece and that I was witnessing the greatest cinematic experience of our generation. And the music still kept playing in my head. Bravo, Hans, Chris, Christian, and Heath.
It overwhelmed me too when I first saw it, also at midnight on opening. But I knew as soon as the credits rolled I had something special. I revisited it 4 times in the theater that summer. And subsequent viewings at home, I have since determined it is my favorite movie of all-time, and my pick for the best movie of alltime when I'm asked.
I had the privilege of watching The Dark Knight being filmed and thought it would be an interesting and hopefully good sequel to Batman Begins. I wasn't able to see the film on opening night but the next evening and it was one of the best entertainment experience of a lifetime. The audience gave the film a standing ovation.
@@TheJoker-fg4es The scenes of transferring Dent to the County jail was filmed at night on downtown Chicago streets. I was in Chicago for business for about three weeks and staying in the area.
I've never watched any marvel movie 3 times till date. But this.... THIS TRIOLOGY IS AN ART No matter how many times I see it, I find something new every time. Nolan is one of the greatest director of this generation
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!
@@parkourhamster4405 Oh that's interesting. While I appreciate your concern, I find it fascinating that it is *a matter of concern* in the context of fictional entertainment and a TRIBUTE to an actor who met an untimely death. 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.
All this fuss about actors seems to be to entirely miss the point. Christian Bale and Ben Affleck were both fine Batman's. The difference is that Christopher Nolan makes good movies, and Zack Schneider makes Sucker Punch.
Snyder should just be a VFX and cinematography consultant for DC. That's where he shines, and as much as I hate the prick, he is good at creating beautiful imagery.
From a purely intellectual standpoint of orchestration, Hans Zimmer is decent at it. But it's not in his orchestral complexity that I find the most enjoyment in his music. It's in the sheer, raw POWER of his compositions that gets me coming back again and again to hear his works. He may not be a John Williams, but he is, indeed, a definitive film score composer of our time. Hans Zimmer: as much a sound designer as a composer, and innovator of epic film score music as a whole. There's a reason he's one of my top influences. Just listen, and you'll hear it for yourselves.
I suppose I'm not the only person with a penchant for great music and interesting writing. You are right that Hans isn't John Williams but he is setting his own school of pulse driven percussion explosive soundtracks
Howard is also a great composer, and it also bugs me when he's not noted in the score. He contributed a lot of the more melodic thematic material for the trilogy (though, if I'm not mistaken, he want a part of the final installment? Could be wrong).
Epicus Magnus Howard wasn't in Rises. Also, While I agree that people don't give enough credit for Howard, all he did was mainly add on Zimmer's composition. In an interview they stated that they created the soundtrack by Zimmer making a track and then passing it to Howard, who adds to it and polishes it. Howard's only actual creation for this soundtrack is Dent's theme (Which happens to be my third favorite track).
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.
2 minutes silence for those,who haven't watched "The Dark Knight Trilogy". And thinks that "Avengers" series is the best out there. 🦇
As an Avengers fan, I could say, THAT´S TRUE !!!!!

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.
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.
@@leroidespirateszoro5985 Though I appreciate your comment that seems somewhat thoughtful, I'll have to disagree with you that my quoting Tom Cruise from the 2002 Oscars is childish behavior. Perhaps I will respond to your comment in greater detail here in the near future. Until then, I commend you on your civilized response. There are plenty of folks here at TH-cam who are anything but civilized, and they go uncensored by the TH-cam administrators. Administrators who have me in their cross-hairs.
A hero can be anyone. Even a man doing something as simple and reassuring as putting a coat around a young boy's shoulders to let him know that the world hadn't ended.

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.
+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 TH-cam video. Good on you!
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.
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.
+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.
+BODDENERGON I belive he was talking about the scars of life.

For all the DC vs Marvel thing.
Marvel may have a better average of their movies.
But a DC movie, when done right, will always be better, just like this movie. When done wrong, we have Green Lantern lol.
literally the dark knight series is DC's best movies lol whereas marvel are huge within the movies genre but hey looks like DC is doing well in the tv series genre with arrow and soon the flash.
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.
At the moment, i don't know if DC is really beating Marvel with comics because of everyone thinking the New 52 sucks. So IMO Marvel is winning.
we'll have to see how this superman vs batman movie will do. Sounds interesting with wonder woman in it.

Si es el mejor por mucho
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.
the harmonic minor isn't always used to be scarier, as most baroque and classical music in minor keys is also in the harmonic minor as it means that the V7 is not a dominant chord, and creates more pleasing sounds, at least to bach ears.
@@danettte this, like all things with art, is about perspective and emotional dialect within. D minor, d major, it makes no difference, the listener translates the tone.
Its Hans's number 1 key signature. Overrated and overused key imo...
while i have no education in the keys you speak of I can only presume you're correct simply because this music makes me feel the way you said it should. I humbly give you kudos. Very well said!!
Thanks for letting us know. I am not familiar with keys of instruments but I am enthusiastic about them as I love the music.

Got to say, I'm not a fan of either DC or Marvel, but at one point I was extremely interested in all this ordeal. However, things change and at some points interests change as well.
I sometimes look back at the times when I enjoyed Marvel Cinematic Universe, first times I watched Dark Knight's trilogy.
Looking at this now, majority of Marvel's films are ultimately just a popcorn flick at best for me, having little of value now. But the "Dark Knight"... Every time I rewatch it I feel just as mesmerized as the first time I watched it, as it leaves such an intellectual impact upon viewing. In short, the film is timeless.
Ken Catus Nolan is Amazing hahaha. Avengers and etc are great but nothing can top this Trilogy.

I love this track, because it isn't triumphant. The Joker won. He totally won. Evil prevailed in the movie - and this whole track is about Batman picking himself back up and fighting on anyway. It's downbeat and tragic, but still shakes you to your bones. Just an amazing piece of music.
It's very sad and tragic to listen but still feels heroic and noble, that's who Batman is.
That's why it's one of the best films of all time. A superhero film where the Villain survived and actually won in the end.
Marvel could never reach this level
He didn't win, because Batman could take it, so they chased him, because that's what needed to happen
I wouldn't say he really won, the people didn't blow up the boat like he wanted them too, but he did turn Harvey evil so its like a half victory.
@@fforfreedom8893 Thanos won in Infinity War. But then again, I didn't really see Thanos as a villain.
I think it was a big mistake by DC to reboot the Batman franchise again. TDK trilogy is probably the best superhero trilogy ever made. I know the DC universe is to unreal for Nolan's Batman, but I think it could work. When rebooting, people get's confused. Nolan already established a very popular Batman that most people can relate to. Imagine seeing Christian Bale's Batman vs Henry Cavill Superman. That would be awesome.
A reboot was bound to happen but I hate how it's so soon. Really? an announcement one year after TDKR? It sounded like they were taking the piss. 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.
Agreed. It would have been unmissable.
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.
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 :)

The Dark Knight is more than a superhero movie. Is incredible.
I saw this movie at midnight on opening day in summer 2008. I did not sleep that night. I did my morning run after the sun came up. It was a hot, beautiful summer day in the South. Still, this music kept playing in my head. It stayed with me. I thought about this movie the rest of the next day before going to see it again a few days later. It overwhelmed me so much I didn't even have an opinion on it. After seeing it a second time, I decided it was a masterpiece and that I was witnessing the greatest cinematic experience of our generation. And the music still kept playing in my head. Bravo, Hans, Chris, Christian, and Heath.
Don't forget Eckhart!🎉
It overwhelmed me too when I first saw it, also at midnight on opening. But I knew as soon as the credits rolled I had something special. I revisited it 4 times in the theater that summer. And subsequent viewings at home, I have since determined it is my favorite movie of all-time, and my pick for the best movie of alltime when I'm asked.

Hans Zimmer is a genius who creates beautiful music that grips and moves your Soul and Batman trilogy is the greats comic movie ever made period
Yes

Delete the comic and it's still right
The music for the bank robbery is stress inducing. Brilliant!
Completely agree!
Listen to all his scores…. he encapsulates them PERFECTLY!!
It tells the story without having to tell it
16 years later. Still the best Batman movie ever made.
The dark Knight trilogy is still an epic masterpiece. All 3 movies were art.
Yo I'm trying to watch then all. What are the 3 movies? I've just watched this one
@@bizon1271 Batman Begins, The Dark Knight, and The Dark Knights Rises.

@@hristijandimitrovski8664 I've seen them all and the dark knight was my fav
@@bizon1271 yeah, me too

This is what he addresses in TDKR.
Selina: "You don't owe these people anymore. You have given them everything."
Batman: "Not everything. Not yet."
@@watchpointoh3354 That was beautiful. Great analysis and as a Christian myself, I really appreciated it.

7:09 - 8:29 is my fav part of the song. it embodies the dark mood of the movie but also the heroic mantle placed upon Batman perfectly
Its from the animated series batman theme music...
@@gklsvadpm sure? It sounds similar but not quite the same
The Dark Knight is the best superhero movie of all time and it's a masterpiece.
In my opinion, the greatest movie of all time. Glad I was alive to see it.
I had the privilege of watching The Dark Knight being filmed and thought it would be an interesting and hopefully good sequel to Batman Begins. I wasn't able to see the film on opening night but the next evening and it was one of the best entertainment experience of a lifetime. The audience gave the film a standing ovation.
Awesome how did you watch it being filmed?
@@TheJoker-fg4es
The scenes of transferring Dent to the County jail was filmed at night on downtown Chicago streets. I was in Chicago for business for about three weeks and staying in the area.
Amazing! You were part of history in the making of a classic masterpiece.
Everyone who worked on this trilogy should be proud of this perfect beauty they made.
Begin in fear, fall in chaos, rise in pain

@@SaurianStudios1207 speaking of which do you know how I got these scars?
I've never watched any marvel movie 3 times till date. But this....
THIS TRIOLOGY IS AN ART
No matter how many times I see it, I find something new every time.
Nolan is one of the greatest director of this generation
Totally agree
I agree with you and i think that the actors who there are in this Trilogy are fantastic
I'm putting my comment here, so one day in the future I'll see this, and feel proud for how long I've been listening to this.
It has been 11 years and legends are still listening to this masterpiece.
SO POWERFUL AND LEGENDARY!!! FROM THE BEGINNING TO THE END!
My favorite for sure :)
+Mitchell Martin This is a true Batman everything!!!!
I don't know how to spell.
Nolan Trilogy is one of the best set of movies ever made.
LET'S PUT A SMILE ON THAT FACE!
Why so serious...
Ahmad Yousef Pourquoi cet air si sérieux...
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!
truly accepted
11 years later and still gold!
Didn't watch the new 2019 Joker movie, there's only one Joker that put a smile on my face- Heathcliff Andrew Ledger.
As an act of tribute for Heath u can watch the joker in my opinion plzz I assure u won't be disappointed.
Im concerned you’re smiling at the most deranged, frightening man in history. Heath ledger’s joker, while well played, was down right terrifying
@@parkourhamster4405 Oh that's interesting. While I appreciate your concern, I find it fascinating that it is *a matter of concern* in the context of fictional entertainment and a TRIBUTE to an actor who met an untimely death.
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.
@@shizzibowden3064 Will give it a try.
@@Anna-sd4zl Will give it a try.
This music really knows how to build the suspense especially at the 10:40 mark when you're not sure if either ship will blow the other one up.
Where did her name come from hummm
madness is like gravity all it takes is a little push !
TheJoker why so serious?
Let's put a smile on your face :/
KY JeLLY
I’m a dog chasing dog
@mario on a cross jst stfu
Do i look like a guy with a plan ?
Because he’s not a hero.
He’s a silent guardian.
A watchful protecter.
A Dark Knight.
All this fuss about actors seems to be to entirely miss the point.
Christian Bale and Ben Affleck were both fine Batman's. The difference is that Christopher Nolan makes good movies, and Zack Schneider makes Sucker Punch.
I think Snyder should just be a consultant/visual director for DC movies.
300
Alex Bernal not all his fault the screenwriting for bvs was terrible
Snyder should just be a VFX and cinematography consultant for DC. That's where he shines, and as much as I hate the prick, he is good at creating beautiful imagery.
TonyDracon Nope. Watchmen was good and 300 was...fine.
This soundtrack led me to watch the entire trilogy and I became the biggest fan of it!!
you didnt watch till now? better late then never i guess
Yesterday I have seen the dark knight. And I love it ❤️
@@wicking- yes better late than never!!
@@olivererdmann3624 because it's the best!!!
From a purely intellectual standpoint of orchestration, Hans Zimmer is decent at it. But it's not in his orchestral complexity that I find the most enjoyment in his music. It's in the sheer, raw POWER of his compositions that gets me coming back again and again to hear his works. He may not be a John Williams, but he is, indeed, a definitive film score composer of our time. Hans Zimmer: as much a sound designer as a composer, and innovator of epic film score music as a whole. There's a reason he's one of my top influences. Just listen, and you'll hear it for yourselves.
I suppose I'm not the only person with a penchant for great music and interesting writing.
You are right that Hans isn't John Williams but he is setting his own school of pulse driven percussion explosive soundtracks
People tend to sometime forget that simplicity is not always a bad thing.
AND JAMES NEWTON HOWARD!!!!!
It infuriates me when people credit Zimmer with composing the entire score.
Howard is also a great composer, and it also bugs me when he's not noted in the score. He contributed a lot of the more melodic thematic material for the trilogy (though, if I'm not mistaken, he want a part of the final installment? Could be wrong).
Epicus Magnus Howard wasn't in Rises. Also, While I agree that people don't give enough credit for Howard, all he did was mainly add on Zimmer's composition. In an interview they stated that they created the soundtrack by Zimmer making a track and then passing it to Howard, who adds to it and polishes it. Howard's only actual creation for this soundtrack is Dent's theme (Which happens to be my third favorite track).
When the hero is still carrying the studio it means he is not just a normal super hero he is the caped crusader, a watchful protector, dark knight
I am so happy to have grown up with a movie like this, this will be a batman that i will never forget
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.
This OST really is freaking amazing.
Not many movies can I watch again and again. But this trilogy is the best Batman ever.
