In «Howard», elements from each of the previous two
tracks combine but there's an added element now, after some misleading initial warmth comes a
real sense of fear, a distant female
vocal adding to the effect; then there's the calm before the storm in «A Bright Red Flash» before the storm itself arrives in «At the Door», powerful and door - rattling brass and percussion opening things up before more psychological terror comes from the strings.
There are a number of interesting sonic elements in the film — the propulsive bass, the blanketing textures of Hans Zimmer and James Newton Howard's score, the crispness of artillery fire, and the supple sounds of Batman's cape — but the
vocal track stands out as a
real accomplishment for reasons that you probably did not even consider.
