Danny Elfman Uses String Orchestra for Emotional Scene

Danny Elfman - DC Comics News

When Joss Whedon took over directing duties after Zack Snyder’s departure, Whedon also brought with him a new musical composer. Replacing Junkie XL was Danny Elfman, one of the superhero genre’s most experienced composers. His work includes, Tim Burton’s Batman and Batman Returns, The Flash television series from the 90’s, and most recently he’s even worked on the animated series Justice League Action.

But it was Elfman’s collaboration with Whedon on Avengers: Age of Ultron that led Whedon to bring him aboard Justice League.

In a recent interview, Elfman revealed he finished recording the soundtrack for Justice League last week in London. But after doing mock-ups, Elfman explained that one specific scene did not receive the justice it deserved. He then persuaded the producers on the film to hire a full string orchestra to enhance that particular scene’s music.

It’s anyone’s guess what that scene could be, but it certainly has my curiosity piqued.

Cameron Tevis

Hi, I'm Cameron Tevis and I've been a comic book, anime and film fan my entire life. While I like Marvel and anime my true love is DC Comics. My father, who was a fan himself, introduced me at a very young age to the amazing characters in DC (especially Hal Jordan Green Lantern). I think it's a fantastic time to be a comic book fan and I'm happy I get to write about the company that I love so much. Besides being a DC fan, I am a designer and I recently started a comic book series of my own called Event Cycle 6 published through Aporian Comics. I recently wrote and directed a short film "The Misadventures of Harley Quinn". And most importantly I am now a father to my beautiful daughter Arya Jade!
