Justice League Soundtrack Features Classic Batman and Superman Themes

Danny Elfman has composed a heroic score for Justice League that incorporates classic Superman and Batman motifs.

So far, the soundtracking of the DCEU has belonged to Hans Zimmer (who delivered the incredible Man of Steel score) and Rupert Gregson-Williams (who turned serious heads with Wonder Woman, notably the "No Man's Land" track). But for Justice League, they've gone back to a composer who is already well known for delivering iconic superhero themes: Danny Elfman.

A few tracks from Elfman's Justice League score have begun to make their way online, and I've gotta say, it's some of his most interesting, fun work in years. But one neat component is that he's not afraid to play around with other iconic superhero themes, something that makes sense for Justice League. It's a team-up after all, so why shouldn't the score hint at that, too, right?

Starting at around 1:10 in the "Hero's Theme" you can hear Elfman quote from his classic 1989 Batman theme pretty clearly. There are hints of the John Williams Superman theme here and there, as well...
