Justice League opens on November 17th, and today composer Danny Elfman has shared his “Hero’s Theme” from the film’s score. Back in June, director Joss Whedon replaced Junkie XL (aka Tom Holkenborg) with the legendary composer, a move thought by many to be reflective of a desire for a less abrasive and in-your-face D.C. Universe than the one presented in films like Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice, which was scored by Holkenborg. Whedon also utilized Elfman late in the game on his Avengers: Age of Ultron score.
Intriguingly, reports indicate that Elfman will be reprising his classic theme from Tim Burton’s Batman for the film, as well as incorporating John Williams’ legendary theme from the original Superman into the Justice League score. Neither of those pieces show up in “Hero’s Theme”, but if the new musical aim of the D.C. Universe is indeed to sound a bit more uplifting, the legendary Elfman is certainly the man for the job.
The Justice League soundtrack drops digitally on November 10th, will be followed by a two-CD edition on December 8th and a vinyl edition on February 9th, 2018. Check the Justice League OST tracklisting — which also seems to reveal some of the film’s plot points — below.
