JUSTICE LEAGUE, bringing heroes Batman, Wonder Woman, The Flash, Aquaman, and Cyborg from the DC Cinematic Universe together as an official team, opens on November 17th. In addition to an exciting score by Danny Elfman (listen to a sample of it here), you’ll also hear music from award-winning Turkish-American film composer Pinar Toprak (THE LIGHTKEEPERS, THE WIND GODS, THE RIVER MURDERS), who was called in (along with composers Geoff Zanelli and T.J. Lindgren), to write additional music for the JUSTICE LEAGUE score.

“It’s been a dream come true to write additional music for JUSTICE LEAGUE and to work with the legendary Danny Elfman,” Pinar commented on her instagram page. “On a personal note, it was extra fun to work on scenes that may or may not have had Wonder Woman in it. I’m so grateful.”

Congrats to Pinar for being part of this major studio picture, and contributing in a credited role to Danny’s latest major super hero score!  Elfman’s soundtrack will be released digitally on November 10,  with a double-CD set coming on December 8 from Water Tower Music.
