View Full Version : My soundtrack to Knightfall (kind of off topic)

So, I'm kind of a composer, been writing music (mostly just for fun) for a while.

This is a six minute piece for the first part of Knightfall, how I experience it emotionally. It takes a different approach than the traditional Burton sound for Batman, it's a bit more focused on the tragic/messiah complex facets of Batman than the dark, from the shadows sound. The reason for that is that, as a reader, I felt Bane was that in this story, not Batman. We were with Batman, but Bane was the unknown. So, Bane's theme is much more dark and threatening.

Bruce/Batman's theme, then, is a self-sacrificing, tragic and doomed sound.

I'll eventually be putting together a little music video together with some images from the comics to compliment the music and show where I was coming from, but I figured I'd post this here. It's the first track that plays.

(The quality isn't optimal, just because of the length; it's a bit compressed.)

The end is very "un-Batman", because it's his total and complete defeat, something we've never seen on the screen.

I will be doing a piece or two for Azrael, and Bruce's return. Thanks for listening!

Actually, I'm working on a CD with my wife (not all tracks like this), and I'll be including this and the other two tracks for Knightfall that I'm going to do on it. Though, I'll have to give it a different title, a more generic one, like "fallen hero" or something like that, due to copyright.

Fortunately, all the themes are original, so I can do whatever I want with 'em. :)

Actually, I'm kind of looking to score a high quality Batman fan film, so if anybody knows of one, lemme know. I'd love to help out.

As far as sending it through e-mail, I'm kind of protective of this piece right now, as it's not completed. Just wanted to give folks a taste of it.
