Memo to Hans Zimmer:

[nenena]

The main heroic theme on your Dark Knight soundtrack should really, really not sound so eerily similar to the ending credits theme from The Da Vinci Code.

(For anybody who has both soundtracks: Final track on Dark Knight = Final track on The Da Vinci Code. I'm not kidding. They really do sound scarily similar.)

Having said that, though, excellent soundtrack overall. I can't even actually listen to "Why So Serious?" all the way through, because the music is so intense that it actually makes me physically uncomfortable. I guess, for a theme song for the Joker, that's kid of the reaction you'd want to get, right? Well played.

Oh boy, if you think Hans Zimmer is bad, you should listen to something by James Horner (Titanic, A Beautiful Mind, The Mask of Zorro etc). I've been a fan of him for years and years, and not a day goes by when some angry fanboy of another composer accuses him of "self-plagiarism". Apparently, it's not too different from the Zimmer case you mentioned.
But I still like him anyway. :)

"Why so serious?"

'Cause that's what I'm like. (Aims laser)

:D
