Reviewed in the United States on January 3, 2023
The teaming of James-Newton Howard and Hans Zimmer is the perfect synthesis of orchestral and electronic scoring and together they have created a bold, epic masterpiece that was edited and missing several cues on its initial soundtrack album and it was apparent that they were holding out some material for an inevitable expanded release further down the road. Surprisingly, we didn't have to wait very long for it.
While it is marketed as a "Special Edition" (not to be confused with the The Dark Knight Limited Edition digi-pack of the original release") such wording can be misleading by giving the buyer the impression that they are getting the "complete" uncut score and for the price one would expect nothing less than the kind of exemplary release demonstrated by The Lord Of The Rings: Fellowship Of The Ring (The Complete Recordings) with correct arrangements and alternate versions. Some may be disappointed that all of the unreleased cues appear entirely on Disc 2 while Disc 1 is a straight reissue of the original album that most fans probably already have and not in the proper sequential arrangement of the film. For example Bank Robbery (Prologue) is track 1 on Disc 2 and "We Are Tonight's Entertainment" (Disc 2 track 9) should precede "A Little Push" (Disc 1 track 7), etc. I prefer to listen to film scores in their linear film arrangement so if you want to listen to both CDs in their proper film sequencing it will require some daft "re-editing" since several tracks contain cues that were edited together such as "I'm Not A Hero" which follows the Bank Robbery scene but contains music from the Hong Kong scene appearing later in the film.
This is a solid 5-star score and one of the most memorable film scores I have heard in a long time. All of the previously unreleased cues are compiled onto the second disc and the 4 bonus electronica remixes are interesting but just seem more like filler material for the rest of the second disc. I'm surprised they didn't just release these on a separate album entirely marketed as "Music Inspired By The Dark Knight." I would have preferred to hear composers' outtakes or alternate versions of the score instead and most importantly have them completely un-edited and arranged correctly. On the other hand, the hardbound collector's booklet and the slipcase packaging are nice and help to give it "a little push" for collectors to have but it's kind of a tossup. If you haven't already bought the original album, this is the obvious choice to buy but for those who already purchased it it's kind of a sneaky double-dip dilemma worthy of Two-Face himself, but a choice you'll have to make if you're a fan.
This CD deserves a better class of soundtrack.
What I didn't expect was how much I enjoyed each repeated listening. I enjoy good movie soundtracks, and my recent favorites include the entire "Complete Recordings" collection from the Lord of the Rings movies by Howard Shore ( The Lord Of The Rings: Fellowship Of The Ring (The Complete Recordings) remains my favorite of the three). Now that I've had time to listen to this title a few times, and also those other titles, I find myself enjoying this one more and more each time.
Make no mistake, this score is as dark as the movie. You're not going to get anything light and airy here, but if you've seen the movie, you know what to expect.
My wish is that they would release this soundtrack as an alternate audio track on the DVD and Blu-ray release, as I believe that it would provide an even deeper appreciation of what Hans Zimmer and James Newton Howard have accomplished here. I would easily pay the purchase price of this soundtrack again to be able to experience that!
If you enjoyed the movie, and you like music, I think you will enjoy this!

Die neue Vinyl-Auflage ist preislich zu teuer, dennoch sieht diese auf dem Plattenspieler in der Splatter-Optik in Joker-Farben sehr schön aus. Eine Platte ist Lila mit Grünen Punkten und die 2. Platte ist genau umgekehrt. Die Pressung ist sehr gut, es gibt kaum Störungen zu hören, ab uns zu knistert es ganz kurz, aber das stört mich nicht. Leider liegt nur ein Flyer mit den Credits bei.
