Junkie XL Talks Scoring Batman
While Hans Zimmer is handling the overall music for the upcoming Batman vs. Superman film, he specifically asked Junkie XL (who has worked on Dark Knight Rises, Megamind & Inception just to name a few) to handle the score for the Caped Crusader himself. Junkie XL talked with Collider about his general love for superheroes and how he felt when Zimmer asked him to score Batman in the upcoming film.

"I shouldn’t say this, but I would do those movies for free. What’s interesting is that Hans and I met Zack last week and he said something in general about these superheroes, which I can very much relate to based on Man of Steel. All these heroes – Tarzan, Peter Pan, Cinderella, Batman, Spider-Man, Superman, Aquaman, Wonder Woman, all the Marvel comics – all these characters are bigger than all the directors that ever dealt with them, are bigger than all the cartoonists that ever drew them, are bigger than any composer that would ever work on them. Batman will still be around in 100 years. Superman will still be around in 150 years. Spider-Man would still be around, in some form, in 200 years. It’s such a cultural thing"
As to how he felt when Zimmer asked him to score the Dark Knight? “It was great to hear it. I got chills through my spine. I’ll leave it at that.”
We’ll be able to hear Junkie XL’s work on Batman vs. Superman when the movie comes out next March, but he’s also worked on the upcoming Mad Max film & the upcoming Point Break remake. See him talks about all these topics and more in the video below:
