Okay, I've written and many others have written about what this soundtrack contains in terms of music. Let me tell you what cues are not included in the mix.
The standout cues from the film that are not on the album are:

1) Batman just finished beating up Falcone's men. From the "I'm Batman" moment to when he watches over Gotham is missing. (The song piece of the camera panning around Batman as he views the city is at the very end of the last song on the album release).

2) The very tricky, vibrating strings playing as Wayne rushes out of the mansion during his birthday to get the bat suit cue all the way to Rachel�s arrival at Arkham is missing. This is an awesome string cue.

3) From "Scarecrow gases Rachel" to "I'll get my car" is missing. This is one of the most defining moments of the score as all the music is fast paced, bombastic and dramatic as Batman breaks out of Arkham.

4) WARNING: !!Film spoiler!! The part where Ra's re-emerges at Wayne's house is scattered on the album but not the part when the mansion is set ablaze and Bruce complains out loud that he's failed at what he was trying to accomplish. Very dramatic moment as Wayne is forced to realize not many things will go his way.

5) The music moment from when "panic" is released in the Narrows to when Batman saves Rachel and the small boy" is missing. Between these events is the scene where Batman gears up and all that have seen it will agree that was an awesome lead up as Batman goes to Gotham's desperate need of help.

6) �Batman fires his grapple gun at the Monorail and is pulled through the streets of Gotham.� This is an amazing, adrenaline pumping moment as Batman holds on trying to get aboard the monorail to fight the bad guy. He eventually does, but again, all the music from when Batman latches on to the monorail to when he glides victoriously in front of Wayne Enterprises is missing.

7) End Credits

Most of all the other major moments in the film are included on the album. Don't get the wrong impression here. I flat out love this soundtrack. It�s moody, dark, depressing, scary and at times victorious. I'm just trying to assist on the buying experience. So now when you buy the CD don't go "Awe, man! The music I wanted is not in here!" Consider yourself warned. If you don't mind all those missing cues, then buy the album and buy the movie to enjoy the movie and listen to the end credits.

The scene after the "I'm Batman" moment, where Batman is standing 500 stories high is on track 12 around 6 minutes and 20 seconds into it. I'll try and look into the other ones, but that one just jumped right out at me.

That is another thing that really gets me about this soundtrack. They don't equate any of the cues with scenes. And the material between tracks is so similar, what is the point of giving the tracks different names? *LOL*
