There is now less than one month to go until one of the biggest cinematic events of the year - Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. With big names like Zach Snyder and Ben Affleck in the mix, it’s only right that Batman v Superman features yet another A-list star. Hans Zimmer is not an actor or director, but the prolific composer of film scores from Man of Steel, The Dark Knight Rises and Inception has returned with another breathtaking musical score.
Zimmer’s track, titled ‘Their War Here,’ is the first to release from the upcoming superhero film. As expected, it matches the tone and grandeur of Zimmer’s typical style, and should be perfectly suited for Batman v Superman. The four and a half minute track rises and falls accordingly, and it’ll be thrilling to see the music come to life on screen. Listen to Hans Zimmer’s ‘Their War Here’ from the Batman v Superman official soundtrack, below:
‘Their War Here,’ in addition to the rest of the Batman v Superman OST, is composed with the help of Junkie XL. The Dutch multi-instrumentalist has collaborated with Zimmer in the past on The Dark Knight Rises, and has composed a number of film scores on his own, such as Deadpool, Black Mass and Mad Max: Fury Road.
The decision to release the Batman v Superman score appears to be a final marketing push for Warner Bros. and DC. Dawn of Justice has high expectations and will be looking to impress as many audiences as possible. The inclusion of Zimmer and Junkie XL’s work certainly helps out the cause with their haunting soundscapes.
Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice arrives in theaters on March 25.
