[@kyransawhill6650]

@@tonyt.r.5313 - He was a little indirectly insulting to Hans Zimmer and Junkie XL in an interview in 2017, saying that making a new theme for iconic characters instead of using the classic ones is to stroke the ego of the composer (lacking self-awareness for the fact that he used his own theme for Batman, who'd previously had the 1960s theme).

Mr Holkenborg, this is a dream come true, the series of videos where you break down your process. 10 years ago I had to search the corners of the earth (mostly extra features of dvds) to find behind the scenes videos like these. They wouldn’t be half as detailed. You sitting down in your creative space, letting us in and explaining to us how to create your music, it’s a blessing. It’s moments like this where I am grateful to KZbin and to successful people like you who give back even though they don’t have to. Thank you ♥️

[@faysalmullaire2263]

Ameen brother

[@prateexen]

Even though this theme is Epic af, I really don't think this exact theme will be used in the following "The Flash" film/films coz:- 1. Warner Bros being Warner Bros. 2. It will take away the exclusivity and epicness from the moment in ZSJL, with a world ending stake that it had. So probably a variation of this will carry on, if the studio even allow it in the first place. Smh Also #restorethesnyderverse

"Sounds immediately like Quentin Tarantino." This man is a genius

[@dinitha11]

Your music is what pushed this scene to become what I think to be the greatest moment in any comic book movie. Me and my brother watched the theatrical cut back in 2017 and it wasn't the Justice League movie what we were hoping it to be. Seeing ZSJL together after almost 4 years later was amazing. This specific moment moved both of us. We were bobbing our heads in unison to your music as Flash ran back in time to save the world. Incredible work, Tom. You killed it. Thank you.

[@GenEXReviews]

I couldn't have said it better myself. I'm a 43 year old man and this scene along with his score brought me to tears. Such an amazing scene.

[@tthomson1]

I've rewatched it so many times, as well as reaction videos because I wanted to see if everybody else found that moment as powerful as I had. I watched it alone, but it's nice to see I'm not the only one that thought it was such an epic moment, I think in any superhero movie I've seen. I love Flashpoint so this was such a welcome change to JL. I want me some more flash now.

[@SynthMusicWorld]

@@GenEXReviews hell, I'm a 52-year-old man and it also brought to me to tears. I'm also on the autism spectrum and I rarely react emotionally to music, so that's saying something for this score.

[@luinnoc]

I'm not a DC fan, neither a Marvel one. I haven't watched JL 2017. I wasn't even planning on watching ZSJL, but I did watch it. I've seen my share of superhero movies. But I 100% agree. The scene of Flash reversing time (+ the score!) is in my opinion the best moment a superhero had by himself in the big screen in any comic book movie.

[@prateexen]

Love this!

[@TheArticulatingAnoraksPodcast]

That scene with The Flash is undoubtedly one of the most incredible scenes ever put in a comic book movie. Everything from the fantastic CGI, the moving dialogue, Ezra’s perfect line delivery and of course Junkie’s score

[@crobeastness]

his running style is also very unique and wildly misunderstood

[@adamtownshend3719]

"Am I a good musician? By no means." This, sir, is called impostor syndrome. You singlehandedly created a track that was adored by every single person that watched the movie and stayed in fans' heads for weeks after. That certainly qualifies as being a good musician.

[@iaMk69]

ehh saying he has imposter syndrome is a bit too much. In comparison to many others in the industry, Tom is a humble musician, that's what makes listening to him as well as his compositions so fun. I'd say he's extremely humble (unlike some who have also scored JL), recognizing his abilities and limitations as a musician. Making him one of the greats in the industry

[@adamtownshend3719]

@@iaMk69 True, although I think imposter syndrome probably exists to some degree in every humble creator. It seems only natural to compare ourselves to others and for some reason always find ourselves wanting. That said, he seems more than confident enough in his abilities to create some amazing pieces.

[@iaMk69]

@@adamtownshend3719 Agreed. I guess people do have an innate tendency to make either up or downward comparisons. Even so, I'd say those that are humble are so because they have the urge to always learn and acquire new information regarding something specific. I personally think It's more to do with wanting to achieve the highest possible goal in an area because of the adoration you have for the said area, rather than having the thought that your achievement was due to the kindness of others and not based on your own personal merits.
