Best Superhero Theme Music
 

Which Superhero has the best or most memorable theme music? Is it Danny Elfman's Batman score? Or John Williams' classic theme from Superman? Is this forum biased for John Duprez's theme for TMNT?

What's your fave?

Danny Elfman's Batman theme. Other Batmans don't feel Batmany enough without out it.

I'll admit I really always dug Williams' Superman theme...

I don't know if any are more "memorable" or recognizable that Batman's 60's theme. It's even referenced occasionally, so even some kids might recognize it. But Williams' Superman is my personal favorite.

Next would be Alan Silvestri's Captain America theme.

Danny Elfman's Batman. That score is just so...Batman. Nothing can top it.

I don't know about best, but i think these are classics.

William's Superman theme
60's Batman
Batman TAS
The turtles theme
The Spider-Man song
And now maybe Black Sabbath's iron man

I love the 90's X-Men theme, TMNT 1987 and 2012, Batman TAS, Batman Beyond, Justice League/JLU, Batman/Superman adventures theme, Superman TAS, Williams' Superman, Gargoyles theme. Oh God, the list goes own. It's so tough picking a favorite. I also love the music of Ron Wasserman. That guy made the music of the first 7 or so seasons of Power Rangers walk and talk. Hang on, I think he also did season 10's theme. I'm sure there's a list of all the rock themes he came up with for the show out there somewhere. I almost forgot about the 90's Spidy theme and Spectacular Spider-Man theme. Man, I think I've got a tun of favorites.

^^^ I'm pretty fond of that one myself.

Elfman's Batman.

Richard Donner's Superman!

Can't go wrong with that classic score! Then again, I thought Marvel's The Avengers had pretty damn good music.

This is a personal favorite of mine :

My favorite is the updated Superman Returns version of the John Williams theme. It's got a little more "oomph" to it, it sounds amazing when you really crank it. That whole soundtrack is incredible. I also get serious chills every time I hear John Williams' Krypton theme.

Elfman's Batman score would be right up behind those. And every other super-hero theme is just a rip-off of those two, anyways.

if they ditch it, I'm gonna be pissed. Iron Man 1 and Captain America: The First Avenger had awesome themes, in my opinion. But, so often, themes don't survive a composer change. And neither of those did. Silverstri's not returning for Avengers 2, and if Brian Tyler tries something new, I might cry...



I actually use the intro for my ringtone :D

EDIT____________
I feel like superheroes ought to have themes. Something to get excited about in the opening credits, like Saturday morning cartoons. But they rarely stick. The X2 composer returned for X-Men: Days of Future Past (First X-Men composer to do two movies), and hearing that old theme as the movie opened was a thrill. I just want that for everyone.

The 70's Superman theme and the 1989 Batman theme which was also used in B:TAS.

Nothing else comes close or is anywhere as iconic or memorable.

Not exactly.

This one is the best theme imo.



I don't know if games count but I really love the theme for Batman Arkham Origins too. The game had a really good soundtrack.
