Christopher Drake
Christopher Drake is an American film, television and video game composer.[1] He has composed music for several DC Comics projects, including the animated films Batman: Under the Red Hood, Batman: Year One, and Batman: The Dark Knight Returns, as well as the video games Injustice: Gods Among Us and Batman: Arkham Origins.[2]
According to Drake, he first broke into the music business in 2002, when director Guillermo del Toro heard some music that Drake had composed for props collector Bob Burns.[3][4] He collaborated with del Toro to re-score the director's unfinished 1987 short film Geometria for a 2010 release.[5][6]
