I love my Comic Book Guys. They remove Miller/Ennis-written comics from my pile that they think are shite, they make me buy things I didn't mean to and they mock my clumsiness (small, cluttered shop + me = The Great "DOCTOR WHO" Merchandise Avalanche Disaster of 2008)
Y'know, I love the Batman score, and like Elfmans' work up until about The Nightmare Before Christmas, but after that I kept noticing that the same themes keep repeating, and while they are lovely, it becomes dull. (Plus, his Spiderman music was terribly generic, so I don't know how I feel about him working on yet another superperson movie.)
Hans Zimmer is also guilty of having the same themes repeat in his film scores. But I like the Batman Begins soundtrack. It suited the style of the movie; I don't think a big bombastic "theme" would have done it any favours. Subtle and dark and minimal worked very well, in my opinion.
