I think the transition happened right after The Dark Knight Rises. I think this is why most studios pair him up with people (with James Newton Howard for the first two Batman movies, with John Powell for the first two Kung Fu Panda movies, with that one guy for Blade Runner 2049), as there used to be a time when Zimmer's ear for the quiet emotions was completely out of tune. Before, the best parts of his soundtracks were the loud bombastic ones, and the quiet moments suffered. Hans Zimmer got way better at working solo after The Dark Knight Rises, I think. Hans Zimmer has actually said before in interviews that he thinks Powell is the better composer, and I wouldn't disagree. I still think the Kung Fu Panda 3 soundtrack took a big hit to its soundtrack with the loss of John Powell.
