    Danny Elfman's JUSTICE LEAGUE (2017)

    The two tracks are not bad. The second is more positive. The first one  looks like something that Brian Tyler would be able to do for JL. But it's still too early to complain. The main themes are still hidden, the same with the tracks of the key scenes. It is possible that there is something good in this score  that justifies they not having published the best tracks in the first instant as they usually do with the other films.

    And also is the Hero's Theme different from the Justice League theme?

     

    I judge it as the theme that will play in the scene where Bruce make the journey in search of Aquaman. This is in the trailers. Because of this the "Hero" in the singular and not "Heroes" as in the theme of the Avengers.

    Although I'm assuming this is the end credits, because it has a kind of trailing off quality that he likes in a lot of his end credits, dating back to that era.

     

    Sounds like an (epic) office scene.

     

    Edit: After listening a few times I have to agree with you. These are the final credits. Or ... The scene in which Bruce sets off in search of the other members of the League. I believe that the Wagner's leitmotiv is related to Batman in some way.

    I'm pleasantly surprised by this. Some parts are very Horner/Elfman-esque

     

    Exact. The way the synthesizers are used in "Thor: Ragnarock" track very much resemble the works of Horner and Silvestri with the same instrument in the 80's. When I heard the first thing that came to my mind was this:

    In Star Wars mythology, thousands of years before the events of the OT, there were Sith Lords who had the power to teleport at will and destroy entire worlds with their minds. 

     

    I like of the EU, but not everything that is in it can be taken 100% seriously. Otherwise, we should expect no less from Luke in these episodes VIII and IX than the master capable of opening a black hole.

    I noticed that when watching Star Wars in NYC with the live orchestra the other week.  When Ben Kenobi is telling Luke about his father Anakin, the story he's telling is significantly more interesting than the story we got in the prequels, and yea, its quite clear that within just SW, Vader and Anakin are absolutely 100% separate characters.

     

    I definitely wish they never made Vader =Anakin, and I wish they never made Luke and Leia siblings too.

     

    Vader = Anakin has exponentially weakened the potential of both characters. It worsened when they made Luke and Leia as twins. This made it difficult to write the script for the prequels, made the story darker and created a hole in the script that a juvenile movie like Star Wars would never be able to respond respecting the age range for which they were written. Making Vader's story like a good-hearted guy who has been corrupted and tempted into the dark side without showing him being selfish, vain and cold from the start is difficult. That's why the prequels were a flop among fans of the previous trilogy. No one can imagine Anakin and Vader as the same person. The friend and good jedi suddenly becomes a mass murderer,  commits a genocide and is capable of blowing up a planet with billions of creatures. It's like defending Kylo Ren after he murdered his own father. There is no forgiveness.

    I think in this case, whoever made the decision to switch, whether it be Denis or Scott or whoever, did a disservice to all three composers involved.

     

    That was my feeling when I finished the album.
    A waste of time, money and potential.
    The music is not bad at all. But it is insipid and totally devoid of identity. 

    There are good passages like the horns that resemble the original and the melody that reminds Interstellar, even the percussion and the male choir, -  the reconstruction of the motorcycle sound is strange, but not is offensive - but everything remains stagnant, the music does not gain development.
