I can't believe this is on youtube. Absolute gold

[@junkiexlmusic]

Thank you!

[@philippepaquet1041]

No problem :)

[@tor-1793]

Junkie XL Awesome job on the soundtrack i loved it. Did you also compose the soundtrack for the first ever teaser of Bvs which they showed at SDCC 2014? if so,is there a tittle to it beacuse that theme/music blew my mind. Iv been looking everywhere but i cant find it. thank you and good luck

[@ghostrecon29]

awesome! Still can't believe that Tom takes time off from his busy schedule to make tutorial vids, really solid!

[@junkiexlofficial]

Thank you so much!!

[@JanKowalski-lx9ch]

Your videos are just amazing. I am always looking forward to a new episode. Often in your videos you can see in the background the ms 20 mini synthesizer. I have it myself, and I would like to find out in a clear way how and in what productions you use it.

[@bobfrode]

agree.. thanx for sharing this amazing score Tom :)

[@Camolismo]

me too. Thank you Tom!

[@BlenderUnreal]

OMG i am thinking the same. i cant belive this! A triple A Composer is sharing his knowledge with us on youtube.

4:21 Batman theme from Zack Snyder's Justice League!!!

19:22 ahhh those drums 😍

[@bryansuminski7543]

Is it weird that I can tell where they are in the fight just by listening to the song?

[@joshallanfilmandmusic]

That's completely normal and a sign that the composer was successful in creating something distinctive and dynamic that ties well into the story and action.

[@hyggen7613]

of course not

[@DerezzedMan]

Me too

[@guicaldo7164]

Bryan Suminski I can do the same thing with many soundtracks (not this one, though).

[@TiagoNugentComposer]

That means Tom did his job well :)

[@TMNT_2003]

i love the fact in the track when supes is foghting back you can hear the "arcade theme"

[@Ultimateazahakzyy]

love that theme

I can't believe we're finally going to hear the amazing score for JUSTICE LEAGUE in 2021!!!

IDK if this is on purpose (i hope it is) Trippy Piano stuff at 20:28 sounds like a distorted version of the cues from both Krypton's Last and Launch on the Man of Steel OST

[@junkiexlofficial]

smart man

[@mynor8657]

That is you JunkieXL...that is you.

[@olaokolaok]

i thought it was pretty obvious, but again, in the scene you can't hear it clearly. Still adds to the scene obviously. Is kinda a "ghosts of the past haunt Superman again" sound. Tom, if in the future you can make this very same thing but with the track in Mad Max called "brothers to arms" it would be great! That track has an "epic" uprising part that is just so good!!! And would be interesting to check out.

[@DerezzedMan]

actually it is, I didn´t realize that before

[@aysfire]

The one thing that was never criticized in the DC movies was the music. It was awesome and memorable. The replacement in JL was so cringe worthy :(

[@ryanfoley123]

One of the best scores ever produced for film!!!!!

[@HenroTee]

In an earlier video you talked about why there are no memorable themes anymore in films, but I'd love to hear how the work process is like with directors who DO want memorable scores. Like Zack Snyder and the score in this video has fantastic reoccuring themes from earlier in the film. I am interested to hear how the director approaches you for that and how you execute it. Because these scores are fantastic!

[@stevet9308]

You have no idea how awesome this is to me! :)

[@MaxIronsThird]

44:15 this is great!!!! Really good variation. Man of Steel's soundtrack by Hanns is amazing.

[@rdru2ner82]

I like that both Hans and Junkie have similar styles of writing so if you watching and appreciating what JXL is sharing, he is giving huge secrets on film scoring.

[@IsaacTorres]

What is crazy is every note, every moment played here - I can tell you exactly what part of the BvS fight it is at. I was in band as a kid, so grew up loving music and making it...love this stuff, you earned a new sub!

[@soultansyah4823]

This really stepped up my appreciation of soundtrack making, holy crap that's a lot of layers. Amazing film with an amazing soundtrack

[@angelocast]

31:00 my favorite part. Here you can see how subtle details and combination of what you have and new sounds can bring in an emotional part. IS GORGEOUS!

[@MaxIronsThird]

Dude, I missed you in Justice League.

[@JoshLeonard2]

Tom, I just wanted to thank you for all your effort. This channel is a gold mine for the present and future producers/composers, which is absolutely amazing.

[@jalsiddharth]

Tom I just wanted to thank you for this. BvS is hands down my favorite score of all time. And I just dreamed of being able to listen to how this was composed and put together, and this is no longer a dream as of this minute. This will help me in my orchestration/ composing education a LOT! Thanks again. Really appreciate these videos. I'm ready with my Oxygen 49. :)

[@JashandeepReehalMusic]

I want him to do one for his justice League Snyder cut theme when it comes out in 2021

[@itsalwayssomething7490]

This movie has one of the best scores I've ever heard in a film. So glad to have you back on ZSJL, it makes every scene much more impactful.

[@TheChiversBeatCompany]

KZbin is such an amazing place. THANKS JUNKIE XL .Can't believe I got to watch this.

[@SOULFORESAKER]

So Many references to culture in these character's soundtracks for Man of Steel and Batman v Superman: classical music, spiritual, military, alien, country, spy, greek warrior, gothic, apocalyptic, hopeful. Thankyou for Bringing DC's universe to life. Maybe I'll look for you when I bring my franchise to life.

[@rodericogarcia]

[@asmrbully6980]

oh yesss

[@Compositeur100]

Tom, beyond your great talent and human qualities, your private libraries are amazing ! As a composer, when we can not afford to produce libraries of this quality, we are not in the game and we are naturally excluded from these big productions. However, thank you for sharing these videos in addition to your work, you have a good philosophy.

[@runcis182]

Thank you very much for this episode, sir! I love BvS score so much so this is absolute pleasure to watch! And i have feeling that You had much greater contribution to this score than you want us to think, i can hear your signature all over and i love it! Sir, you can't imagine how eager i'm to hear your Justice League score! Counting days...

[@Mandy-Lane]

thanks for these video junkie.. very thanks

[@comicedits6619]

[@Lishkabro]

Incredible. The amount of detail that goes into making these sound scores is mind boggling.

[@miguelmedel5298]

Junkie thank you so much for this video! I listen to your BvS soundtrack almost everyday! The songs really speak to me and it is beyond amazing! And to see you show us the amount of layers and dedication this soundtrack has is entirely jaw dropping! I would like to let you know that the DC fans really need you right now. Your talent to score Justice League for the extended edition for Blu-ray release is highly demanded. We deeply miss you and your imagination with how you designed the DCEU musical scores with Hans Zimmer. We were sadly unsatisfied with Danny Elfman's score. As much as we respect his past musical creations, this one in particular (Justice League) was a disappointment. We completely disagree to the decision Joss Whedon had made and it was a giant mistake. I'm literally speaking from the bottom of my heart and I cannot filter my feelings of how much I am deeply saddened with you not being able to score the Justice League film. It was a giant moment in cinematic history that was completely diminished over changes that was highly unacceptable. We need you Junkie XL! Thank you! #justiceforjunkie

[@itsalwayssomething7490]

A wish just came true. His score was fantastic for ZSJL.

[@ccfanatics3577]

[@mustardpower7123]

I disagree completely.

[@Filo_Red]

I can understand, but it's how the world works, you confront with people that disagree with you... And thats cool man :)

[@mustardpower7123]

Okay. But i'm curious, why do you think it's a bad movie, though?

[@Filo_Red]

The photography, the exaggerate extremely epileptic camera movements, the dialogues, the editing and the "bad" vfx (they are not that bad but the photography and the style of the movie have made those look awful) The first shots of Gotham were very good indeed, but the main problem with the "whole" is that every shot is made to be more cool as it can be, loosing the narrative part of the story. For me it could be a good movie, but it missed the opportunity. But this is only my opinion, don't take it as a Spielberg's masterclass ;)

[@geofftunes]

[@tomassimon4323]

Hi Tom! First of all thanks a lot for making these awesome videos! I have a question that hopefully you could answer in a future episode. In the Batman v Superman movie, there is a scene where a bunch of bad guys are waiting in a parking lot, in front of an elevator, waiting for Batman to come out of the elevator to ambush him, but he comes through the floor. The music in this scene really caught my attention, at first it sound like a synth pad but it starts turning into a choir of screaming voices (?) Very hard to tell what it is actually. Please could you tell us something about this cue? I would love to know more about it!! Thanks!!!

[@InLightTone]

[@opgam3r482]

@JunikieXL I see what you did there @5:07. Absolutely amazing @5:07 - 5:10 and forward. (those who watched MoS or know it deeply) That's the Cue to Zod's otherwise menacing "WWwunwawawawawa" (world engine sound almost) entrance in the "You are not alone" Trailer after the drums/ deep brass "DUN-dun-dun, DunDunDunDun Dunnn-Wunanananna..." except it quickly feeds into (alternatively) Batman's representation as an enemy, almost attaching him as "an enemy of Superman" with that one little 4 second transition... That's what I see when I close my eyes and think of the 2 (soon to be 3) movie arch... Love it, Huge fan...!

[@markmurphy5486]

This is unbelievable helpful, sincere thanks Tom! Man that Eurorack stuff sounds incredible, hearing it there it reminds me of a sound that was used throughout the Donnie Darko score.
