The Dark Knight Original Motion Picture Soundtrack — the haunting score to the hotly anticipated feature film The Dark Knight — is available now, in advance of the movie opening nationwide July 18th.

Composers Hans Zimmer and James Newton Howard, who collaborated on the score for the 2005 blockbuster Batman Begins, were asked by director Christopher Nolan to work together again, scoring its follow-up, The Dark Knight. The duo recorded the orchestral soundtrack for the film in London this April.

Warner Bros. Records will release four different physical configurations of The Dark Knight soundtrack: a jewel case CD, a 2 LP set of heavyweight 180 gram vinyl , a special edition digipack, and a collector’s edition with special artwork to come after release - all available at TheDarkKnightScore.com.
