Academy-award winning composer Michael Giacchino has revealed that if the opportunity presented itself, he would be interested in scoring The Batman.
While in attendance at the premiere at the world premiere for Guardians of the Galaxy Vol.2 in Los Angeles, Giacchino was asked by Variant’s Arris Quinones whether or not he would be interested in scoring a Batman film when he opened up that he would love to score a film led by the caped crusader:
“Yeah, it depends on who’s making it and who’s involved, but yeah I would love to. I love Batman.”
The last we heard, the film was reportedly undergoing a complete rewrite so it will be a while before the studio begins to consider composers but earlier tonight Heroic Hollywood Founder and editor-in-chief Umberto Gonzalez revealed that Bruce Wayne himself, Ben Affleck has begun training for his third outing as the Dark Knight on Heroic Rebirth, the second season premiere of Heroic Insider.
It’s also possible that War for the Planet of the Apes producer Dylan Clark will be joining director Matt Reeves as a fellow producer on The Batman. Reeves was confirmed back in February to have signed on for the film but it is unlikely production will begin before 2018 as the director is currently busy finishing the third installment 20th Century Fox’s rebooted Planet of the Apes franchise.
It’s also unclear whether or not the reported rewrite still features Deathstroke as the villain, however, Deathstroke co-creator Marv Wolfman recently shared his confidence for Joe Manganiello in the role, giving up that there is still a chance the supervillain will appear in the film.
As for Giacchino, he has become one of the most sought after and busiest composers in the entertainment industry so it would seem likely that his name will come into the mix when Warner Bros. begins to eye composers for the job but what do you think? Do you think Giacchino would be a good fit for The Batman? Let us know in the comments below.
The Batman which stars Ben Affleck as Bruce Wayne/Batman, Joe Manganiello as Slade Wilson/Deathstroke, J.K. Simmons as Commissioner James Gordon and Jeremy Irons as Alfred Pennyworth. The film does not currently have a release date.
