New York, NY (Top40 Charts) WaterTower
Music is proud to announce the November 10 release of the Original Motion Picture
Soundtrack to Warner Bros. Pictures' epic action adventure
Justice League. The album features one of the industry's most versatile and accomplished film composers,
Danny Elfman, who is returning to score a DC Super Hero film for the first time since 1992's Batman Returns.
While bringing his celebrated and unique approach to the
Justice League score, Elfman also gives DC fans some special familiar moments. Utilizing memorable character themes to tell the musical story, he incorporates and re-interprets iconic music from past films, including John Williams' Superman theme, Hans Zimmer's Wonder Woman theme, and his own Batman theme. "I'm using the same thematic material that I used back then," Elfman told Billboard Magazine. "It never actually went away. We've got these iconic bits from our past and that's part of us, that's part of our heritage. It just was great fun."
The soundtrack also features a blistering version of The Beatles' "
Come Together" by electrifying virtuoso guitarist
Gary Clark Jr. and Grammy-nominated and multiplatinum producer, musician, and composer Junkie XL; along with Norwegian pop singer/ songwriter Sigrid's haunting and powerful take on Leonard Cohen's "Everybody Knows," and The
White Stripes classic "Icky Thump."

ABOUT DANNY ELFMAN

Danny Elfman has established himself as one of the most versatile and accomplished film composers in the industry. He has collaborated with such directors as Tim Burton,
David O. Russell, Gus Van Sant, Sam Raimi, Joss Whedon, Paul Haggis, Ang Lee, Rob Marshall, Guillermo del Toro, Barry Sonnenfeld, Brian De Palma, and
Peter Jackson. Beginning with his first score on Tim Burton's Pee-wee's Big Adventure, Elfman has scored a broad range of films, including: Milk (Oscar nominated), Good Will Hunting (Oscar nominated), Big Fish (Oscar nominated), Men in

A native of Los Angeles, Elfman grew up loving film music. He travelled the world as a young man, absorbing its musical diversity. He helped found the band Oingo Boingo, and came to the attention of a young Tim Burton, who asked him to write the score for Pee-wee's Big Adventure. 30 years later, the two have forged one of the most fruitful composer-director collaborations in film history. In addition to his film work, Elfman wrote the iconic theme music for
The Simpsons and Desperate Housewives. He also composed a ballet, Rabbit and Rogue, choreographed by Twyla Tharp; the symphony Serenada Schizophrana for Carnegie Hall; an overture The Overeager Overture for the Hollywood Bowl; Iris, a Cirque du Soleil show at Hollywood's Dolby Theatre; and most recently his first Violin Concerto, "Eleven, Eleven", for soloist
Sandy Cameron, which had its world premiere in Prague with the Czech
National Symphony Orchestra and its second performance at the Elbphilharmonie in Hamburg.
Danny Elfman's "Music From the Films of Tim Burton" had its concert premiere in 2014 at London's Royal Albert Hall and has continued on with over 60 concert performances in over 12 countries.
