>"Hans Zimmer appeared this morning on the BBC current affairs & arts programme Hard Talk & while chatting to the presenter about his views on whether or not the current state of the the Hollywood machine with the superhero genre is running out of steam, he officially announced he is retiring from the scoring superhero movies. Talking quite candidly, he revealed he found Batman v Superman very difficult to score, citing he was relieved that he his collaborator JUNKIE XL on board."
Everyone is jumping ship!

>DCucks BTFO!!!! >HAHAHAHHAHAHhahahahahaha
>no more BRRRRRRRRRRMMMMMMMMMMM
such a tragedy
Zimmer makes the same soundtrack for every movie. On this day my ears are happy.
>>67625269
No wonder the soundtrack sucked gigantic dicks.
>>67625312
But MoS score was better than his score for the Nolan films
>>67625269
I mean, Zimmer is capable, but there is only so much variety in his capeshit work.
>>67625269
It's official, here is the video.

What if they got Elfman?
>>67625269
In previous interviews he already said he was tired of it. "I've given these movies 11 years of my life."
Why do you think he asked to bring in Junkie XL?
I don't blame him wanting to do something else.
>>67625386
Fuck, I meant to write Nolan Batman films, MoS was better than those.
Lol people jumping off the sinking ship already
I'm sure he'll have a job working on dunkirk anyways
He did two stinkers in a fucking row.
TASM2 and now BVS. If they were good he probably would have scored Justice League.

Jesse Eisenberg Still Doesn’t Know If Lex Luthor Will Return For ‘Justice League’
>Jesse Eisenberg, the actor who brought Lex Luthor to life with mixed reactions across the internet, says he has no idea if Lex will return for the Justice League movies, odd considering they start filming in just two weeks. Even worse, he indicates that even director Zack Snyder isn’t really sure what’s going on with Lex Luthor.
>“I don’t know if they are so settled on where my character goes,” Eisenberg told Business Insider when asked if he’ll be returning for Justice League. Eisenberg did add that he hopes to “have another opportunity to work with these wonderful people” and that he would be “thrilled” to return if he was asked.
>>67625269
GEE THANKS DC
even if Zimmer is overused sometimes, he is at least reliable.
>BvS is actually great

The Luthor theme in BVS is better than any track of any Marvel movie score. Just think about that for a second. All the Marvel movies and not one memorable que.
>>67625269
It's great. This means the soundtracks will have variety.
>>67625757

This is the cost for being capekino.
People abandon you. They become scared of change. They become scared of a genre that can transcend capeshit.
So they leave you. They try to tear you down. They try to call you a "hack" and a "fraud".
But you don't listen to them. Because you know what's best for them. You take it all in stride, because you're the hero capekino needs.
They'll understand in the end. They'll apologize. They'll ask for forgiveness.
And you'll be there, because it's your duty. You'll save them, enlighten them. This..is all part of the plan. This..is capekino.
>>67626244
>proving me right
Thanks. Couldn't have illustrated it better myself.
>>67626116
I still remember the main theme from "The Avengers" and "Captain America: The First Avenger", so Alan Silvestri was alright. Same for "Iron Man" and "The Winter Soldier". So basically everything you posted about memorability comes down to "muh opinions".
>>67626116
>Look up luthor theme
>first 30 seconds is supes' theme in reverse set differently.
Nice touch.
I don't really think much of Zimmerman, and I don't think that you necessarily need "iconic" music for it to be good in a movie. But that's certainly a good level of depth to include.
>>67625269
I guess Tyler Bates will do Justice League now.
>>67625269
Oh no how will hollywood ever recover.
>>67626317

The sherlock Holmes soundtrack is music to my ears. Fits the movie beautifully.
I'll defend this opinion to the death
I wish you autistic fucks would go away, I'm so tired of capeshit, its like western anime and the fanbase is equally as trash
>>67625269
who cares. james horner is the goat
>>67626303
Really? Cause that's pretty fucking hackneyed.
>>67626317
I think Snyder ditched him after he got caught stealing music from Titus.
>>67625269
Good. Zimmer deserves better than Snydertrash.

Winter Soldier's soundtrack was too good for Marvel capeshit. Can't believe critics trashed it.
>no more hack zimmers
Oh no
>>67626538
It's good within the context of the film (and this is what film scores mostly should aspire to be) but it's so ambient and textural that outside of the film, most of the tracks don't really work
>>67626511
You never considered that Marvel didn't waste their time asking him to do a score.
>>67625269
to be honest the only moment i noticed the music was WW theme, and it fucking sucked. It was like an asian teen made the OST with some J-pop rock garbage
maybe now I can hear the goddamn batman or superman theme
capeshit should get Philip Glass to do their scores.
It's my time to shine.
>>67626364
Thanks for reminding me nigger now I feel sad
>>67626116
His OST for BVS was perfect.
Such a shame he's gone now.
>>67626244
>winter soldier: generic call of duty sounds
>daredevil: bland synth/drum video game shit
Most of Zimmer's stuff in the last 10 years has felt pretty contrived and forced. He's repeating lot of old ideas and using his in-house composers to do the heavy lifting.
Occasionally he seems to find inspiration and put out something good, Batman Begins and The Dark Knight had genuinely good scores, The Dark Knight Rises was kind of shitty though. Inception was great, probably his best score since Gladiator.
Interestingly he works a lot, he does like 5 movies a year, which is a lot for a composer, even acknowledging that he farms out lot of the work to his in-house composers.
Interestellar was somewhat interesting as well. His work on the Pirates movies was largely unforgettable (and the famous main theme everyone talks about, Klaus Badelt composed that, not Zimmer).
>>67625790
The guy who made music for Deadpool and Fury Road, two movies much better than BvS :))))))
BvS kills careers.
>>67625269
>it's the beginning of the end for capeshit
>>67626488
I'm so happy that I'm not the only one that thought of this, thanks /tv/
One for fuck up and I bet Ben jumps off this ride
>>67626824
The Pirates theme is literally the same thing as the Gladiator theme, just faster.
He's a meme composer like John Williams. Producers just get the biggest name they can find to score their movie.
I think the state of contemporary scores is in terrible shape. They're utterly cliche and far too heavily percussion-based.
Zimmer in particular is obsessed with loud, dissonant chords. The last 10 years of his composing has basically been a percussion-beat with crescendoing dissonant chords over and over again.
>>67626488
Can you link the track?
The one thing I liked about MoS was his score
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EngKxF3Cqh4
Poor mans John Williams anyway.
>>67627294
https://youtu.be/JbXVNKtmWnc?t=808
Good. For the solo Batman movie they should hire Christopher Young instead.
>>67625269
>dccucks praise the score prior this
>zimmer jumps ship
> b-but his score was boring anyways
dcucks everyone
>>67625269
What a relief. MoS score sounded like a cubscout desperately rubbing two sticks together to start a campfire.
>>67627381

Same. I know some people were like "NOT MUH SUPERMAN MARCH" but "Flight" and "What are you going to do when you're not saving the world?" are perfect fits for Superman and really drive home, at least what should be, the hope and determination that Superman as a character stands for.
Should replace him with John Powell
>>67627961
It's a shame Snyder was the director. They had a great composer and picked out a really solid cast, and then they fucked it all up with badly paced, hackneyed storytelling and a plot that had almost no structure or sense.
desu he's meme tier, his scores are mediocre at best
>>67625305
Been saying this since Inception/TDK.
Fucking Hans hasn't made anything worth an original damn since then. Nolan made him have a stroke or something.
>>67628072
what? give john powell some terrible grim piece of shit movies to score instead of producing exciting uplifting music for actually good movies?
fuck off for trying to denigrate powell like that.
https://youtu.be/7PnltVxofI4?t=42
>>67625506
I'll be honest I don't hear the Final Fantasy in there, all I can here is The Lion King.
>>67627877
this is what my friend said, I checked the score and he's not credited for doing that arrangement whatsoever, it was one of the lackeys at remote control.

If I had to guess, that sounds more like Junkie XL.
they will just throw more money at him now, than he comes back rehashes more old stuff steals more from other poeple and get richer.
Pretty good score tbqh
Don't know what more they could ask of him for a CGI fest capeshit.

Say whatever you want about DC, but you can't deny their movies have better scores.
Quick, without Google, name one piece of music from an MCU flick that's better, or at least more memorable, than Elfman's Batman theme, Zimmer's main theme from The Dark Knight, or Wonder Woman's theme in BvS.Hard mode: something other than the Alan Menken song from Captain America
>>67626765
That's ironic since his best score was literally from Call of Duty.

I didn't hear it either. Good music, though. Zimmer is a gifted man.
I can imagine Bale, Nolan and Zimmer returning to Batman 20 years from now just to teach these fucking hacks how to make proper capeshit.
>>67628340
How does someone even write music like this.It's just so god damn good.
All the previous themes from the last movie being re-introduced in such a clever way. Pretty sure he's the best composer in Hollywood right now.

>memorable que
The only memorable soundtracks in movies and TV that surface to my mind are
Troy,
Equilibrium,
Star Wars,
Star Trek,
Starship Troopers,
Battlestar Galactica,
Inside Man,
Flash Gordon,
Predator movies,
Con Air,
Megas XLR,
some of the old Transformers themes,
Courage The Cowardly Dog.
Though if i think about the best decade for movie soundtracks, it's the 80s followed by a good part of the 90s, since there was a lot of creative utilization of orchestral music and hybrids utilizing it.
>>67633973
Oh, and i forgot the Terminator theme.
That's pretty much where i end my line of memorable stuff.
>>67633973
No Apollo 13? That's breddy gud Zimm stuff.
>>67633997
Indiana Jones, Batman, Back to the Future, Jurassic Park, Robocop, Conan the Barbarian, Rambo, Rocky, John Barry James Bond movies...
>>67625333
Ben Affleck shouldn't be allowed to make movies that don't take place in Boston. It's Gigli all over again.
>>67634164
Didn't come to mind so i have to shamefully leave them out.
Though i do remember the Indiana Jones, Batman cartoon, Rocky and James Bond movies.
Forgot the Jurassic Park theme even though i watched the new turd, forgot Robocop, forgot even Conan the Barbarian.
I do remember the Ghostbusters Theme vividly though, but not because of the new movie.
For some reason, i also remember Total Recall.
But i lost memory of a lot of movies.

>>67625424
>Why do you think he asked to bring in Junkie XL?
Because he didn't know what to do with the Batman/Bruce Wayne score that he hadn't done for Nolanbats. That's why Junkie XL handles all the Batman bits but Zimmer still does the rest of the film.
>Pairing Zimmer with someone called JUNKIEXL
really?
>>67633973
You aren't wrong but you are missing so many.
Lion King, Leon the Professional, and about a billion others.
Good.
Some of the zimmer's soundtracks are fucking masterpieces. But a big part of them are very mediocre. Plus he realizes that there are only so many combinations of BRRRRRR you can put together before the songs sound all the same.
He is quitting while on the top as is right.
>>67625312
