I kept thinking and talking to Chris [Nolan] about what I thought the Batman character was. If there was an arc to be had, it was that he sees his parents getting killed – that’s the defining moment of his life – and he feels guilty for it. The theme is interrupted at essentially two notes: it’s never completed, because he never gets past this point. I spent three weeks removing notes from the main Batman theme until I got it down to just two notes. I am very proud of it. It’s always the beginning of a theme. It promises that he can become a hero or a complete man, but none of that ever happens, because he can’t get past that moment.

Two notes.
Just two notes… and as soon as you hear them (or, more precisely, the interval between them in context) you know exactly what’s up.
Amazing.
