For our two-minute opening, we decided that music was going to be an integral part of it, providing and accentuating the tension that is prevalent. A notable composer, Hans Zimmer, provided much of the stylistic influence, and for the storyboard animatic and the early rough edit of our film opening, we temporarily used a track from Zimmer's score to "The Dark Knight Rises".
"Gotham's Reckoning" can be heard below:
Another piece of music that was a point of inspiration for us was the Danny Elfman composition "Wolf Suite, Part 1" from the soundtrack to the film "The Wolfman", that was used excellently in the trailer to 2011 spy thriller "Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy".
We intend for our dear friend, the long-chinned James Richardson, to compose and record a piece of music in the similar vein as these tracks, capturing the same level of intensity and cinematic flair.
