I was thinking about my favourite superhero related soundtracks. I realized how closely it's related to what I like anyway, which I don't think is a coincidence...
1. Superman (Christopher Reeve) I to III (I can't watch IIII) - I always loved John Williams/Ken Thorne amazing scores to these films, and it has a strong nostalgia for me. Although, when I was a kid, I did use to say it was a Star Wars rip-off.
2. Batman / Returns (Michael Keaton) - I never thought they would get more epic than the catchy sixties theme, but this was just brilliant. The last iconic superhero music for me.
3. Wonder Woman TV series (Season 3). I felt the title music was the best in the third season.
4. Supergirl (Helen Slater) - John Goldsmith did a fantastic job to simultaneously compose an original score that keeps in with the style of Superman, so, it sounds related like cousins!
5. Wonder Woman (Gal Gadot) - While still not quite outdoing the TV theme, I expect this to become a modern classic.
What are yours?
Favourite Superhero/ine Music
I found Danny Elfman's soundtrack for the original Spider-Man film from 2002 to be rather stirring. It fit the larger-than-life 60s comic book atmosphere of the story.
I loved the Kickass theme.
Not sure if it was original but I thought it was brilliant

Okay, this is a bit of a stretch but stay with me. If we can accept the proposition that Maximus was a superhero (had a battle suit, a secret identity, wore a mask, had seemingly superhuman fighting skills, sacrificed for good), then I nominate the theme from Gladiator. Best movie theme ever.
I can only assume you don't get out much
Bit of a dirge if you ask me with a good bit in the middle
(PLUS, what about all the great James Bond themes? )

I did think about that, like, Spiderman had a good tune didn't it? It's been too long since I watched it. I can't remember now.Damselbinder wrote: ↑3 years agoI found Danny Elfman's soundtrack for the original Spider-Man film from 2002 to be rather stirring.

I was going to disparage your "Kickass" choice in return for the vicious mauling you delivered to my pick, but I had a listen first because I'd forgotten it. Dang it, it's really good! Not as good as Gladiator though!
It's gets a bit standard Danny Elfman at time ("teetely-teetely-teetely-teetely-BOM-BOM-BOM-BOM"), but it's one of his better ones, methinks.Deceiver wrote: ↑3 years agoI did think about that, like, Spiderman had a good tune didn't it?
