'Batman v Superman' Composer Hans Zimmer Declares “I Have Officially Retired From The Superhero Business”

The composer raised eyebrows when, after delivering a trio of great scores for Christopher Nolan's "The Dark Knight" trilogy, he signed up for 'Batman v Superman.' The word initially was that he'd only work on the Superman based material, as he did fully on "Man On Steel," but eventually the job became a full blown collaboration with Junkie XL. But it seems Zimmer has had one superhero movie too many.
