I’m not really sure what’s left to be said in the great film vs. digital debate, but if nothing else, Christopher Kenneally’s “Side by Side” brings things to a head nicely as it represents the layman’s way into the discussion. These things always reach broader consideration last and no film, to date, has been as thorough and definitive as this.

Christopher Nolan on composer Hans Zimmer's contribution to his 'Dark Knight' saga
Posted by Kristopher Tapley · 9:23 pm · July 23rd, 2012
There is one element of “The Dark Knight Rises” that I think is more accomplished than anything else in the franchise, one thing I thought they got more right here than in either “Batman Begins” or “The Dark Knight.” And that was Hans Zimmer’s magnificent, epic score.

My favorite Oscar win: Anton Furst and Peter Young for 'Batman'
