JWFans got their hands on track listing, cover art, and release date details for The Dark Knight Rises soundtrack by returning composer Hans Zimmer.
Zimmer previously collaborated with James Newton Howard on the scores for both Batman Begins and The Dark Knight, but Howard decided against returning as he thought Zimmer and director Christopher Nolan “had established such good chemistry working on Inception, and he didn’t want to be a third wheel”.
Check out the full track listing below, along with the soundtrack cover.
