>"I have officially retired from the superhero business … I did BATMAN BEGINS with Chris [Nolan] 12 years ago, so the DARK KNIGHT TRILOGY might be three movies to you, to me it was 11 years of my life. [BATMAN v SUPERMAN] was very hard for me to do, to try to find new language.”

How much will DC/WB suffer without him? He literally carried their asses on his back with his God-tier music.

BRRRRRRRRRRMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM
they'll be fine
>>67655256
Think about it though. Who can they replace him with to keep the same vibe that he brought to the table?...Nobody
>>67655313
Junkie XL who worked on BvS and worked uncredited on Man of Steel as well
>>67655313
Trent Reznor shits on him from a great height, also Harry Gregson Williams.
>>67655482
This, I also heard the Batman parts of the score (i.e. the best parts) were all Junkie anyway
>>67655127
Watched the HARDtalk interview that this quote is from. He worked with the guy who done the Mad Max score on Batman v superman and it pretty much sounded like he did most the work because hans isnt inspired by capeshit anymore.
>>67655256
But if he leaves, who will give us paranoia, mental torcha, self-destroya, pulse is racing, something something, he lied to me, he hates on me, he using me?
le three chords german man is literally the most overrated composer in the biz
>>67655127
He was shit in this movie anyway
>>67655127
Isn't Larry Sanders dead?
poor man's philip glass
>>67655127
>new composer
>new writer
>new director
>new producers
Hopefully the DCCU can be saved before its too late
Hans Zimmer appreciation thread?
One of my favourites:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RxabLA7UQ9k
DUDE STEADY WORK SUCKS LMAO
>>67655662
every movie he does, he establishes a new mainstream style that other composers copy for the next couple of years
he's a great composer
>>67655127
Thank fuck. He's way too good to be doing this kind of schlock for the rest of his life. Aside from the first two Nolan Batman movies he's utterly wasted on it.
>>67656048
yeah like he fucking needs the money
if anything he ultimately stands to gain by abandoning these movies because he was stagnating and compromising himself
>>67655989

>>67655532
Yea Junkie might be able to save DC when he leaves but who says he might just bounce too?
Good. His capeshit soundtracks were always his least inspired
Batfleck film with Jonny Greenwood score when
>>67656690
Greenwood is too good to make awful capeshit scores.
>>67655970
Yes, lets call a tv tier director, a writer known for some shit comedy and finally a Marvel composer so we can forget the music right after the movie ends.
I watched all the mcu movies several times and I dont know yet what the fuck is the Iron Man theme for example. MCU music is so fucking forgettable.
For all MoS flaws it had at least had an outstanding and unforgettable soundtrack.
>>67656827
Nobody said anything about the MCU you stupid motherfucker.
>>67656752
i would like to see an affleck detective-driven bat film with the riddler & hush scored by greenwood, scarce action more tense mystery
>>67656415
Least inspired? Nigga that's what made him so famous.
>>67655127
How many more careers will Zack Snyder destroy?
>>67657094
Seems like he's leaving everyone at WB no choice but to quit cause of how bad his movies are. I hope I see Snyder replaced with somenone else for the sake of good competition with Marvel.
>>67655127
I really hope that whoever takes over for him (probably Junkie XL) doesn't write a new theme for Superman. The Man of Steel soundtrack is great.
I hate, HATE, H A T E it when a sequel has a different composer from the original, and the new composer totally disregards the soundtrack from the first movie (see: Iron Man 2, Robocop 2).
>>67655127
Good.
For Zimmer, I mean. He can do better- and so can all those other composers working on capeshit. If anything, I feel bad for them.
>>67657190
Agreed. That's Marvel's biggest downfall.
the man of steel soundtrack was by far and away better than anything else from that shit movie
i still listen to it sometimes and imagine a good movie.
i don't blame him btw he has scored some absolutely shit super hero movies since finishing up with nolan movies.
>>67657190
marvel soundtracks fucking suck because they just change every film.
>>67655127
He's quitting capeshit for good.
>>67657447
Nahhh Marvel are just inconsistent with theirs but it's still good. Don't get that wrong.
>>67655256
>BRRRRRRRRRRMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM
It's really funny that people keep mocking Hans Zimmer for this despite the fact that the music for that trailer was done by some other guy.
>>67655256
Pleb confirmed, he did amazing work with The Thin Red Line; Interstellar OST was good as well
>>67655989
My all-time fave: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DR0fl5fgTDg
>>67657726
Really? So does that guy get the money whenever it's used in every single trailer?
>>67657752
>Interstellar OST was good as well
>good
Amazing* Fixed that for ya.
>>67657871
Thanks, I agree
>mfw the only action movie themes or motifs from this entire millenium I can remember are
>Geoff Zanelli's Pirates of the Caribbean theme
>Hans Zimmer/James Newton Howard's Dark Knight stuff
>Ramin Djawadi's Pacific Rim theme
What the hell is up with this complete dearth of memorable themes?
>>67657992
>not including the Avengers theme
Are you okay?
>>67657992
What about LotR?
>>67658157
I wouldn't consider LotR an action movie.
>watch The Weatherman
>pretty good Kino
>like the music
>mfw it was Hans Zimmer
Doesn't really sound like his other more known stuff
>>67656903
Don't talk to DCucks
>>67658244
>Kino
Kill yourself
mostly overrated 2bh but the interstellar ST was GOAT
>>67658338
hello /v/eddit
If you cant handle the power level then you should leave to a safer place. maybe r/movies is more up your speed
>>67655127
>batman begins is 11 years old
WHAT THE FUCK
>>67658572
Feel old yet? Next year and it'll be 10 years since the first Transformers came out.
>>67655482
>>67655532
>>67656177
Man I remember seeing Junkie DJ ages ago. Great to see him become this big. Good for him.
>>67657992
Fury Road's was pretty good
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UIyRXvHmXxo
>>67658618
I've been saying I need to watch transformers for 10 years now
I need to lie down
>>67655127
>BvS was very hard for him
>it was already confirmed that Junkie XL did the entire soundtrack and only Zimmermans name is on it because they're using parts of his songs too
Why is this shitter lying?
>>67658653
Junkie fucking killed it on Mad Max. Hope he makes it big.
>>67658788
He's not lying.
Having my name forever attached to BvS would be really hard for me, too.
>>67658854
But why though? Yea the movie was shit but the OST was a masterpiece.
good. when he created a score that was downright embarrassing compared to Danny Elfman's batman score, i knew it was going to be a rough few years. i just wish this happened 10 years ago.
People who say Hans Zimmer isn't versatile aren't giving him enough credit.
What other composer can make a god tier soundtrack like this
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IxNSNbjjJDI
and total shlock like this
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fRXoRt1k110
only a few months apart?
>>67656084
THIS^^^^^^^^
Trent Reznor
>>67658666
hey satan
>>67655989
Make me cry all the time
>>67655127
Thank you god. Now we can have fun movie scores again like Elfman and Williams. Zimmer is such a bore.
>>67657790
Being completely serious, this was a great track before Baneposting made me laugh whenever I hear it. The bells in the background sound ominous.
>>67655519
I like Reznor's style, but all of his stuff sounds the same. Then again, so does Zimmer's. Reznor is almost all atmospheric and dreamlike/spooky. The sole exception I can think of is In Motion from Social Network. There might be some others, but even it has that tinge of being eerie.
>>67658120
Avengers theme sucked dick anon. Almost all of the Marvel hero themes suck. Cap's is the best but they're all so fucking similar it can be tough to distinguish between all of them.
>>67660160
Fuckkkk I forgot how good the Gladiator OST was
>>67655313
john williams and m83
This legitimately makes me sad. His scores aren't subtle at all and I love them.
Literally the one thing that tied BvS into an enjoyable experience.
>>67655127
>while I'm Literally listening to one of his soundtracks
Just kill me /tv/
>>67657752
lol wat it was basically just BZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZT at 2,000 decibels
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TG9-j3eevL4
Absolute GOAT coming through.
Did this guy the one who shot Trayvon Martin ? How the hell does he still getting works, fucking hack

Just having smashing pumpkins do the next one lol
