Batman Begins (soundtrack): History and Key Facts

Batman Begins: Music from the Motion Picture is the soundtrack album to Christopher Nolan's 2005 film Batman Begins. It was released on June 15, 2005. The soundtrack drew from the film score, composed and arranged by Hans Zimmer and James Newton Howard, as well as contributions by Ramin Djawadi, Lorne Balfe and Mel Wesson.

The main motif of the film (and later of the whole trilogy) consists of just two notes, played by horns and accompanied by strings, representing Batman's pain and guilt.

Batman's main action theme of the film (and later of the whole trilogy) is heard in the track "Molossus".

The score won an award at the ASCAP Film and Television Music Awards and it was nominated in the category "Best Score" at the Saturn Awards.
