Hans Zimmer Retires From Superhero Movies

Composer Hans Zimmer has announced that he is through scoring superhero movies.

Zimmer, who most recently worked on Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, made his retirement from the genre known during an episode of BBC HARDtalk.

"I did Batman Begins with Chris [Nolan] 12 years ago, so The Dark Knight Trilogy might be three movies to you, to me it was 11 years of my life," he said. "[Batman v Superman] was very hard for me to do, to try to find new language."

Zimmer is an award-winning composer of over 150 films, including Batman v Superman, The Dark Knight trilogy, The Lion King, the Pirates of the Caribbean series, The Thin Red Line, Gladiator, The Last Samurai, Inception, and Interstellar.

Batman v Superman is now playing in theaters.
