Justice Leaguecomposer Danny Elfman reveals he put a newfangled spin on John Williams ' classicSupermantheme for a"dark moment"involving the Last Son of Krypton in the DCEU team - up motion-picture show . Long before share cinematic existence were a fleeting thought in anyone ’s mind , conductor Richard Donner proved to the human race a world could vanish with the originalSupermanfilm that was released in 1978 . Starring Christopher Reeve as the hero , the motion-picture show was one of the defining blockbuster of its era , and its influence is still sense today ( see : Wonder Woman ) . One of its most memorable aspects was the musical score by the fabled composer Williams , and the main theme birdcall has become synonymous with the character .
Since the DCEU is a all unlike dealership from those earlierSupermanmovies , the determination was made to not use Williams ' iconic part GD of Steeland its successor could follow their own path . Still , that has n’t block off devotee from need to hear the tune in theaters once more . As it turns out , they ’ll get that luck whenJustice Leaguehits the large screen this free fall - albeit with a twirl some may not have been expecting .
In an interview withBillboard , Elfman hash out his return to the land of DC films ( he antecedently composed the mark for Tim Burton’sBatman ) and shared an interesting nugget about Superman ’s mystical role inJustice League , hint that his allegiances may be in a different place as he rejoin from the dead :
" There are a few little sports fan moments . I instated a moment of the Wonder Woman theme that Hans Zimmer did for Batman Vs . Superman , but I also had two minutes where I had the delight of aver , ' countenance ’s do John Williams ’ Superman . ' and that for me was heaven , because now I have a melody to pervert , and I ’m using it in an actually very sullen means , in a dreary second . It ’s the kind of affair that some fans will notice . Some wo n’t . It ’s a moment where we ’re really not certain whose side he ’s on . "
Elfman ’s use of the word"dark"may draw the ire of some moviegoers , as a popular belief about the DCEU is that it ’s too grim for its own good . Still , it should be interesting to see this scene spiel out . Superman ’s role inJustice Leaguehas been kept under wrapper throughout the entire selling military campaign , mean the filmmakers in all likelihood have some surprises up their sleeves . It would certainly be a shock for audiences to watch Kal - El return from the dead and not know where his dedication lie . This could be a truly absorbing way to subvert expectations when Superman first returns in the film . Many thought he ’d just be the hero we know and have it off , but seemingly something more sinister is in storehouse . As for what that ’ll be , it ’s another mystery for fan to prove to solve . One opening is Clark Kent not possessing his old memory board and perceive his ally as foes when they first encounter .
From the sound of things , any ambiguity involving Superman should be clear up shortly . After all , Warner Bros.is hold meetings with directors forMan of Steel2 , so Clark Kent will probably be fight down for the undecomposed guys comeJustice League ’s remnant . Plus , Elfman win over his producersto take a full orchestra for a cardinal emotional succession , which likely demand Superman doing something larger-than-life in a climactic conflict to grow the lunar time period in the League ’s favor . And even if it ’s not in its original anatomy , it ’ll still be fun for longtime fans to hear a rendition of Williams ' theme after all these long time . Perhaps it will make a right return to the films later on .
