For this trailer I handled sound design and audio post. The film already had a dark, rainy mood, so instead of filling every second with noise, I pushed the weather in a psychological way. Most scenes are extremely quiet, which means when the violence arrives, it lands like a punch in the stomach. Restraint makes the heavy moments feel heavier.
The music choice helps a lot. Kurt Cobain’s soft vocal sits there almost fragile. No huge drums or brass, no “dark-epic” clichés. Just something wounded and honest. That space gave the sound design room to breathe.
My favorite part was treating Batman’s footsteps as rhythm. When he walks out of the darkness, the steps become the beat. You hear weight, metal, and a body that moves like a tank, not a magician. The impacts are dry and painful, no glossy superhero punches. He hits and it hurts.
Batman’s footsteps are the star here. Instead of making him appear with a dramatic surprise, we made him audible. When you hear those steps coming from a distance, he feels inevitable. No spectacle, no candy. Just a guy in a suit, walking toward you, and you can’t stop him.
