Getting closer and closer to the release for The Dark Knight Rises and now there is a sample of Hans Zimmer's music for the film to tide us over. Quite a few tracks harken back to Batman Begins, perhaps not a coincidence given that the Dark Knight will come full-circle.

Apparently it is possible for Viggo Mortensen to be more awesome. Mr. Mortensen is pulling double-duty in Everyone Has A Plan or Todos Tenemos un Plan, by playing twins in the film.
