Hans Zimmer Might Come Out Of Retirement

 

It’s going on 12 months since Hans Zimmer formally announced his retirement from the superhero genre but it seems the German composer has left the door open for a possible return.

Chatting to The West Australian, Zimmer touched base on his time spent in the genre of costumed heroes, which also spans Zack Snyder’s Man of Steel and The Dark Knight trilogy, before noting that he’d consider another superhero gig providing “somebody comes along with a great idea.”

He said “It’s true, until somebody comes along with a great idea. “How many people have to go write two Batman themes in their lifetime? I needed a break from it. And I needed to categorically say ‘I need a break’.”

Beyond the superhero genre, Zimmer’s other credits include The Lion King, Inception, Gladiator, Pirates of the Caribbean and the second season of the BBC’s Planet Earth series.
