With sequel Batman V Superman: Dawn Of Justice he was joined by fellow film composer Junkie XL (a.k.a Tom Holkenborg), and together they expanded considerably on Zimmer’s new superhero world with new takes on his Superman theme as well as introducing a few new ones for iconic heroes Batman and Wonder Woman.Ī Beautiful Lie starts off the score in a decidedly melancholic fashion, opening with a dramatic, brassy burst of the new theme for Batman before the music then slows right back down with mournful piano notes and saddened strings as the solemn origin of the aforementioned character plays out in the film. With Man Of Steel, Hans Zimmer successfully revamped the sound of Superman with a new and powerfully heroic musical take on the character – one complete with hopeful atmosphere, bold brass and some exquisitely dramatic backing percussion. Hans Zimmer and Junkie XL’s score for Batman V Superman: Dawn Of Justice is a strong continuation of the epic musical world established in Man Of Steel one complete with several bombastic new themes and many a thunderous action setpiece.
