So who is it? Which superhero movie (or franchise I should say) had the best music? I really don't wanna list all the music from every CBM, but infact the more memorable ones. These are the main titles, not the entire soundtrack So if you want to list more, let me know.
John Williams, Superman
In my opinion, the best Composer in Hollywood, John Williams has always been there to conduct famous soundtracks including the unforgettable Superman Theme.
Elliot Goldenthal, Batman Forever/Batman and Robin
Yeah the movies were weak, but you gotta admit, The Dark Knight Detective's theme music was pretty epic.
Danny Elfman, Batman/Batman Returns
No doubt that Tim Burton's Batman is a classic. But also Danny Elfman's score is beautiful and memorable nonetheless.
Ramin Djawdi, Iron Man
Iron Man is a one of the best CBMs around. While it might not have the best score, I still adored it. Ramin brought a new style to the table and it blended in perfectly o the mix of RDJ's brilliant superhero. And its one of the many theme songs where if you listen to it while doing work, your time will go by a lot quicker :)
Hanz Zimmer, Nolan's Batman
Dark, mysterious, and thrilling, Hanz Zimmer's soundtrack of Batman is just as good-if not better-than Eflman or Goldenthal's attempts.
John Ottoman, X-men
This music supports the word, 'Heroic'. Even though he did not do the score to Nightcrawler's unforgettable White House rampage, Ottoman still did awesome. Its a shame Ottoman had to do Superman Returns.
Danny Elfman, Spider-man
First a great score of Batman, and a marvelous one of Spidey. This music makes you wanna climb buildings, don't it?
James Newton Howard, Green Lantern
Don't get me wrong, there is a LOT of people that enjoyed the Green Lantern score. It may not messure up to Newton's other brilliant themes, but this is much better than Thor's. Thor's was an awesome movie, but its Soundtrack could have been better. We won't look back at the movie and go, 'Oh god, the score was fantastic! Best ive ever heard!' GL's is much better. (in my opinion)
Now I haven't heard Alan Silvestri's score to Captain America yet, but I can almost bet you that it will be epic. Have your doubts?
From his famous predator main title, Silvestri brings a heroic, commanding, and thrilling theme to his score.
In the end, John Williams' Score is my favorite. But the choice is yours.
