“But Nolan has a more subversive agenda. He wants viewers to stick their hands down the rat hole of evil and see if they get bitten. With little humor to break the tension, The Dark Knight is beyond dark. It’s as black — and teeming and toxic — as the mind of the Joker. Batman Begins, the 2005 film that launched Nolan’s series, was a mere five-finger exercise. This is the full symphony.”

And the last track of the soundtrack really sounds a lot like Chevaliers du Sangreal from The Da Vinci Code.
Coincidence? I think not. ;)
