"It is great that they dare to entrust this project to a director like Darren. But unless they give him free reign, I think that the studio will want a composer more accustomed than me to this genre of film. But I would really like to do it."
Clint Mansell was also asked about those Batman: Year One rumors, by a fan on the contact page of his official website, and Clint responded by saying:
There's a lot of excitement in the air regarding Batman Five - rumours everywhere. It's very exciting to be a part of those rumours, I must admit, but I really know nothing at this point so I can't pass comment.
