For those who also saw the prologue...

Anyone else get a classic horror vibe? It reminded me of something like Psycho or The Shining. I'm guessing this movie really is going to compliment the fact that Nolan presents Bane as a "classic movie monster" type character.

Definitely. The high-pitched, quick strings are very chilling/tense.

What Zimmer did with the score in the prologue is just as striking and tonally appropriate as what he did with TDK.

"Deshay basarah" has been in my head for the last three hours. The chanting, the percussion, the powerful strings, and as mentioned above, the classic horror film-like themes were just perfect. It feels even more epic than the TDK score.

I'd like to hear TDK score base with an all-new synthetic depth to it, almost like mixing TDK, Inception and Tron Legacy music. An electronic grain added to already established violin melody that simply goes dark with Bane onscreen. For Zimmer, combining these elements wouldn't be a problem, not to mention it would be something completely new, we're talking about Hans.
But thematically, TDKR is a lot more serious and heavy than TDK, not to mention BB. Dark, thrilling, synth-induced score would be a neat approach, I think. :think:

For those of you show saw only the bootlegs, trust me when I say that they do not do the soundtrack any kind of justice, except for maybe the parts that have chanting or higher sounds. The music is much, much better in the theater

The score for the prologue is very bassy with lots of deep percussion; it has a certain force and heaviness to it that works very well with the scale of the action. I detected some elements of Inception's electronic score (just a bit) plus some new and very engaging themes by Zimmer.

It sounds exactly like what I imagined Bane's background music to sound like long before the prologue released and it's just perfect. Like when you look at Bane and his menacing appearance, the music that may come to mind is pretty much exactly what Zimmer did. It's representative of the character, just as the track "Why So Serious?" was representative of the Joker.

Agreed. This is what makes Nolan's films so interesting. There's always a complex psychological layer to all of the action in his films. It's not action just for the sake of it.

From what I heard in the prologue I'm confident to say that the music in the first scene is BRILLIANTLY AWESOME.
