Hans Zimmer Promises Epic The Dark Knight Rises Score

Can he top The Dark Knight and Inception?

Though everyone working on Christopher Nolan's The Dark Knight Rises has attempted to stay as tightlipped as possible when it comes to leaking information about the film, every now and then some juicy bits make their way to the press. Talking to MTV, composer Hans Zimmer teased about his work on the upcoming movie's score. Zimmer claims fans can expect a "a lot more epic" soundtrack.

"The one thing I can tell you is that it's going to be a lot more epic. Extraordinarily epic."

When questioned about what that comment meant, he said:

"I don't know, it's like, 'What's epic these days?' I think there's something in the core of the story that allows you to get the music much bigger and much more sort of, iconic."

Epic and iconic? That's certainly a big promise.

Many felt the composer had created one of his best works with Inception, yet didn't receive as much recognition as he rightfully deserved. Could The Dark Knight Rises prove to be his most acclaimed work yet?
