I am kinda surprised that nobody wrote an article about this brilliant soundtrack. So I am doing it, late but still better than not at all and btw. I cant stand these images of “Pawly Pets My Animal Hospital in Africa-SKIDROW & BACKLASH” on the main site 
I haven’t been to the cinema yet, but judging from several opinions like my friends’ plus critics’ it must be a good movie. And this soundtrack definitely proves it!
Zimmer originally said the main Batman theme was purposely introduced at the end of Batman Begins, and would be fleshed out in the sequel as the character develops. Zimmer plus Howard both realized that creating a heroic theme that a viewer could hum would ignore the complexity plus darkness of the character. That the heroic theme is audible only twice, early on in the film, creates what Zimmer described as a “red herring”, a kind of musical foreshadowing.
Their nine-minute suite for the Joker is based around two notes. Zimmer compares its style to the band Kraftwerk, who come from his native Germany, as well as his work with bands like The Damned. When Ledger died, Zimmer felt like scrapping plus composing a new theme, but decided that he could not be sentimental and compromise the “evil [performance] projects”. Howard composed Dent’s “elegant and beautiful” themes, which would work as a contrast.
The track names come from lines in the film.
