Batman Begins, which was so successful for Hans and I, I think, because we were either going to succeed or not speak to each other any more and we ended up becoming better friends that we were -- now the combination of the two of us has become the voice of the score in a way.

Batman Begins. So we were all so geographically next to each other and with each other for 6 or 8 weeks. It did become very much – there never was a defensive moment really, it was like, if we have a problem Hans will know how to fix it or someone will know how to fix it.
