If there’s one composer to whom the super-hero film genre owes a lot, it’s Danny Elfman, who produced the soundtrack of Tim Burton’s Batman. 28 years after the cult movie, the composer is back working in the genre to compose the music of a film about the adventures of not one, but three super-heroes: Superman, Wonder Woman and Batman. The production requested a very specific work from him: in addition to his own Batman theme, Elfman had the mission to reuse John Williams’ theme from Richard Donner’s Superman as well as Hans Zimmer’s theme from Zack Snyder’s Batman v Superman (in which Wonder Woman featured). But because Elfman isn’t a simple drudge, his direct references to previous films are not as much plagiarism as they are a true work of rearrangements and variations. It’s the case for the title Friends And Foe, in which John Williams’ music has been so much fiddled with by Elfman that it’s almost impossible to recognise the original song. In other words, Elfman created a sort of Freudian score for The Justice League, which keeps appealing to our cinematic subconscious! Although the past is at the heart of this project, its music isn’t at all dull nor nostalgic. On the contrary, life, strength and fizzle are what defines his inventive and virtuosic arrangements: to see for yourself, just listen to the twirling chords of Mother Russia or the orchestral generosity of The Final Battle. This original soundtrack also includes a surprising cover of Leonard Cohen’s song Everybody Knows by Norwegian singer Sigrid, known for her hit Don’t Kill My Vibe. © NM/Qobuz
