Gotham: Two of a Kind > Building an atmosphere: Music > Songs Filmnoir has almost always had an orchestral dark soundtrack. Jazz and blues are also synonymous with the genre. With this grim gotham story i would like to explore new directions in musical landscapes as well. The original comic obviously does not contain a musical score but im quite sure it was ment to be jazzy funky crime thriller stuff.
In the age of digital animation and neo-noir, what should the musical score be like? What kind of an atmosphere would be cool and engaging?
Movie is set in the modern era +-10 years. Themes contain duality, schitzofrenia, betrayal, hope, salvation and love. Feel free to share your ideas of the musical and ambient sound featured in this production!

I would go with the dark & ambient type of music with this one.
Here's a fine example from the soundtrack of the game Max Payne 2. Composed by Kärtsy Hatakka and Kimmo Kajasto.
I can also provide this kind of music if you are interested?

I think a lot of trip-hop music out there would fit the bill , but also check out this guy http://www.generalfuzz.net/

I'd have to say definitly classical music as a score...dark and uplifting (for example mozart- o fortuna) that and the kind've music from the dark knight (orchestra classicall symphonies that make you feel depressed and can make you feel good
Gotham: Two of a Kind > Visual direction > many diferent ways to go What direction should the production take? Original comic is in new-style batman animated series. If production will be live-action, that obviously can not be used as such. Feel free to also comment on the general idea of the production and shout out thoughts regarding the theme.
Seek out the original if you are interested, it has been released atleast in the Batman: Black&White comic collection.
Visual style in the comic is very classic film-noir and its quite brutal in a batman scale. Blood and even a short sex scene is shown. Visual style in an animated or a film version should be true to the original but be a touch more realistic i think.
Attachements include Bruce Timm version of Two-Face and one femme fatale, could not find the exact one featured in the comic at this time.

many ways would work here
a sin city (very cartoon like cg backgrounds black white film )
cartoony (like said in previous comments like a scanner darkly (which wasa terrible movie but had a good style))
film noir (just ore regular black and white like)
gritty (like film noir but not as...black and white)
but no matter what...two face has to look like he did in the dark knight...cause that was perfect, it was exactly like two face should look

Islandic band Múm has a great sound, but has a way too positive a feel for your film.
But great evil themes are made from something positive turned into some perverse dark form.
Thus try Múm's water-themed album Finally We are No One, and find someone to make an EVIL version of it. That should be haunting enough.

When I was reading your description I was listening to a great song by Portishead, called "Hunter":
I think this song along with many other Portishead songs might have the right atmosphere for fine reference material.

The movies name made me think about that:
Well, maybe it doesn't fit in the film but great music anyway.

I really enjoyed the Bruce Timm piece.
Overall I think it perfectly draws on Harvey's most salient characteristics.
Placing Harvey as the narrator really strengthens the sisters.
I do find some melancholic comedy in the type A personality Marylyn that
would identity Two Face as susceptible to Madeline. I do feel that certain
plot points here weaken Harvey instead of strengthening him through comedy.
(IE. 'I lied...' in lieu of 'So she lied. So had I. I lied...' leading to Harvey emerging from a Reststop or Lavatory rather than staring into a lake.) Similarly, in the next plot point of, 'I tried to fight it, but I could feel my perfectly ordered world unraveling...' I lose the power of Harvey's choice to work the night after shopping with his newly wed. I think Harvey is more than just THE tragic figure. He is the TRAGIC crusader. 'Then... Alone that night, working, I couldn't finish. I wouldn't leave the office. I was scared of what could frighten my own Marylyn. I was scared to forgive...'
Apologies for the long winded comment, but I really enjoyed the comic.
How is it that the Bat would miss Madeline's clumsy acts of wanton aggression?
'Good 'ole Bruce' isn't much of a confidant but he's a great friend.
Gotham: Two of a Kind > Visual direction > Strong graphic animation by: Timo Vuorensola
What I really feel is missing, and could be achieved, is a strong graphic animation style with possibly live action as the basis of movements - like in Sin City & Spirit, but maybe more "live" and "rough".

I would agree. A still camera or camera array designed to catch identity and intention but too slow to catch action would sufficiently present a noir. Grain might interfere in identifying the specifics of action, leaving action more mysterious than the prologues and epilogues of it. Something happens and the viewer is pretty damn sure they know what it is but the filmmaker can not produce evidence. I can attest at least in New York city that there are well documented cases of security cameras with blurry or impaired vision, documenting violence rather than deterring it.
