After working with
Hans Zimmer in the music department of a handful of prior films, including as a member of
Hans Zimmer & the Magnificent Six on the
Amazing Spider-Man 2 soundtrack,
Junkie XL (aka
Tom Holkenborg) receives a co-composer credit for the pair's score to
Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. Pulsing and ominous, the DC Comics franchise entry features clamorous orchestral fare boosted by occasional choir and electronics, altogether providing near operatic accompaniment as the two superheroes are forced to do battle. The score recording offers over 70 minutes of music, with a deluxe edition adding 20 minutes to the playing time.
