Overview: The initial ideas came together in October '04 including the batflaps, atmospheres and the blueprints for the action sequences. By December we'd established our palette and themes from Hans and James were being uploaded. The team gathered in later February in London and somewhere between Hans's world of adventures and James's hive of organisation the score came together.

Highlights: The batflaps set the scene with opening titles and beyond. There's the ambience surrounding the mountain climb and the ensuing meeting with R'as Al Ghul. Other key moments include the parents' murder, the scarecrow scenes, the action cues, plus anything else dark.....but then it's a dark world.
