This was pretty much a foregone conclusion anyway. Given the people involved in the film, from the writers to the cast and the director, I have little interest in it any more.
All I will say is that it would be nice if we had different composers to handle the various comic book movie scores so we could have some variety.
Nothing against Zimmer. for a while, Elfman was getting all the comic book movie assignments though I still love his opening titles to HULK...

I agree. This particular genre is lacking variety in the music dept. Zimmer is scoring pretty much every DC character and Spidey on the side, while Brian Tyler (nothing against him I liked his Iron Man 3 score) is scoring most of the MCU movies in phase 2. There's isn't much variety these days.
The suits don't want variety. They want a sure fire hit and believe conformity guarantees success. Anything different is a risk to the stock holders and billion dollar investors.
Guys! This is the score that'll take us full circle as far as Batman music goes. Zimmer suggests in the interview that he needs a different sound for Batman. If you extend the chanting voices and more optimistic (and cheesy) tone that Zimmer developed for Spider-man and apply it to a Batman score where does that take you?
Why, right back to na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-BATMAN!

Tyler Bates is doing 'Guardians of the Galaxy.' Steven Price is set for 'Ant-Man.' Tyler did the Thor sequel and IM3 and is doing 'Avengers: Age of Ultron' but Henry Jackman just did 'CA:TWS' while John Ottman is doing the new X-Men movie. Meanwhile, Marco Beltrami scored 'The Wolverine.' Sounds like a fair amount of variety to me, though the results may vary.

Well, some people (like myself want firmly established themes and musical continuity. And then the other folks want variety. What are they to do? You can't please everyone.

Well, variety today means something with themes and musical continuity. It's something we are not going to get either.

I know that and I said MCU films in phase 2. Ottman's DOFP and Beltrami's Wolverine aren't in the same universe as Iron Man, Thor, Cap. etc b/c of different studios.

I like musical continuity in scores also. I would've preferred Horner had returned for TAS-M2 , Doyle scoring T:TDW and Silvestri scoring CA:TWS and A:AOU. I knew Zimmer had BvS in his pocket but did he really have to score TAS-M2, when he had finished scoring a Batman Trilogy and a Superman reboot. I'm just saying they need to share the wealth. And I know it might be TPTB making these decisions on breaking musical continuity in these films but still.
Looking forward to this -- especially if Zimmer is able to juggle the material for the BATMAN films and MAN OF STEEL appropriately. I dig continuity like that.
Since MoS is a masterpiece, and all the Batman trilogy is fantastic, I expect this score - which I already hope it is released in super de luxe edition and vinyl too - to be...
