Famous blockbuster movie scorer, Hans Zimmer, sat down with Collider in a recent interview, addressing the challenges of writing music for the Batman Vs. Superman movie. Obviously he will still use some of the theme music he created for the Man Of Steel, but the real challenge lies in creating a whole new Batman theme, Here is some of what he had to say about it:
It’s creating a bit of a problem in my head right now. Quite honestly, I’ve gotta sit down with Zack and have a chat with him about what he’s trying to do because what I don’t want to do is go back to that well. It’s a different Batman; Christian Bale and what I did with Chris [Nolan], that needs to have its autonomous life. I don’t want to go and now appropriate that and put that into the other Batman.
Zimmer definitely has a huge monkey on his back, and he was reported a month back stating how he was a little nervous about taking the daunting task since he figured he was done with Batman when the Nolan trilogy concluded. But having the chance to work with Snyder again and working on one of the biggest movies of all time, is just something Zimmer could pass up.
Of course I can see myself doing it, first of all because I love working with Zack. I think you can tell from that score we had a lot of fun, and I think it was inventive. Once I got over the whole ‘Oh my God I’m not as good as John Williams’ thing which, I’m different! And it’s different times.
Zimmer then went on to talk about Affleck being cast as Batman, and all the backlash the casting has gotten.
He’ll be a really good Batman. It’s really quite simple, the man isn’t a fool and he’s not gonna set himself up for a fall. He’s a great filmmaker in his own right, he really is… I think he’s become a much more astute actor and I think he’ll make a great Batman, I think he knows exactly what he’s doing. So do I think it’s a good idea? Yes, I think it’s a good idea. I think he’s great casting.
Excellent words from Mr. Zimmer, and I 100% agree with him. Let me know what you guys think about the interview.
