* The final trailer starts with the familiar piano notes of "What Are You Going to Do When You Are Not Saving The World?" (Superman's theme) when Lois dreams of Clark, then uses a beautiful cover of Music/DavidBowie's [[Music/HeroesDavidBowieAlbum "Heroes"]] by Gang of Youths to highlight the team's heroism.

* [[https://youtu.be/src1At0Ip0g "The Story of Steppenwolf"]] plays during the "History Lesson" sequence. It starts with very ominous-sounding orchestral music with angelic choir, leading to a bombastic climax before slowing down to a sad ending, very fitting for Steppenwolf's story.

* Who could have guessed that "Beautiful Lie" - a track that's associated with Bruce Wayne - would get a reprise in a Wonder Woman sequel? Extra awesome is that it's played against Diana's heroic speech, in which she points out that while lies can be beautiful, so can truth. It's one-upped by [[https://youtu.be/1IKL8Pf79W0 "The Beauty In What Is"]], with the OneWomanWail at 1:41 dramatically conveying Maxwell Lord's [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone growing realization]] towards the effects of his wish-making; namely, that it's putting his son in danger.

* [[https://youtu.be/f9ydfcm5UTM Black Adam's Theme]] gives off the vibe that your impending doom is fast approaching. When the choir joins in, it's like they're choosing to worship this threat as it's the only way to protect their lives.
* [[https://youtu.be/_Uz9UkyyEp8 The Justice Society Theme]] makes liberal use of string instruments and choir. The end result makes them seem more like heroes from a fantasy film rather than an action film.

* The epic build up then bombastic fanfare of [[https://youtu.be/9Ds9HPjw0fU "What Are You Going To Do When You Are Not Saving The World?"]] awakens the viewer/listener's inner superhero like no other.
* Other highlights include "[[https://youtu.be/ats1VhmOESQ Look to the Stars]]" (played at the start of the film during Kal-El's birth) and "[[https://youtu.be/7kzKJL6TfnM Flight]]" (when Clark flies for the first time) and "[[https://youtu.be/6cCaUhszP4o Terraforming]]".
* "[[https://youtu.be/UJ6uMfqKckw Hans' Original Sketchbook]]", a majestic and epic ''28 minutes-long'' track from the soundtrack's deluxe edition.
* [[https://youtu.be/BflqXfguhMU "Flight",]] the score that plays in the background when [[TheJoyOfFirstFlight Superman uses his flying powers for the first time]], is amazing and completely conveys the sheer epicness of the scene.
* From 7:53 onwards, [[https://youtu.be/NATwqcm7GhU "Terraforming"]] contains one single note that keeps rising in pitch towards the heavens. It perfectly encapsulates the rise of one of the most iconic superheroes and his status as ''the'' protector of Earth.

* The final trailer starts with the familiar piano notes of "What Are You Going to Do When You Are Not Saving The World?" (Superman's theme) when Lois dreams of Clark, then uses a beautiful cover of Music/DavidBowie's [[Music/{{Heroes}} "Heroes"]] by Gang of Youths to highlight the team's heroism.

As the ''Film/GuardiansOfTheGalaxy'' series shows, Creator/JamesGunn is no stranger to great music choices, both licensed-wise and score-wise.

* The epic build up then bombastic fanfare of [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Ds9HPjw0fU "What Are You Going To Do When You Are Not Saving The World?"]] awakens the viewer/listener's inner superhero like no other.

* The Comic-Con trailer used "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7QnLuA2MiEs Journey to the Line]]" from Zimmer's ''Film/TheThinRedLine'' score to majestic effect.
* The increasingly epic [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UUSVANyzg0M music]] from the [[http://youtu.be/T6DJcgm3wNY third trailer]]. It's the cut version of the track [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-3WAAsXfADQ "What Are You Going To Do When You Are Not Saving the World?"]]
%%* "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rtEkqSif5IQ Arcade]]" was first used in the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NlOF03DUoWc "Fate Of Your Planet" trailer]] and the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dwYatpwrs8s Nokia trailer]].

%%* "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8QLj5bC93OY Their War Here]]" plays in the [[ActionPrologue opening action scene]] when Bruce Wayne is driving through a crumbling Metropolis whilst trying to save his employees.
* "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S176AKQhcCk Is She With You]]" serves as Wonder Woman's theme and {{Leitmotif}}. Used brilliantly during her introduction in costume, in which she saves Batman by deflecting a blast from Doomsday with her bracers, showing her in her classic pose.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A3gXlzjxhaw "Do You Bleed?"]] plays over the Batmobile chase scene, and it is ''intense''.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lnNwMiOWDM0 "Day of the Dead"]] beautifully reprises theme from ''Man of Steel'' when Superman uses his powers to help humanity and is perceived as a god/messianic figure, then becomes more of a TearJerker as some journalists and politicians express doubts about his actions and motivations.
* "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z9BL59uiAz8 Beautiful Lie]]", which plays after Bruce holds the girl in the wreckage of the building and through the movie's first flashback to the death of the Waynes and their funeral, captures the loss that Bruce felt as his parents died. It also showcases Batman's {{leitmotif}}: DUUUUN, DUN, DUN, DUN, DUUUUUN, DUUUUUUUN.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rD5wQROo_bs&t=151s "The Red Capes Are Coming"]] definitely captures Lex Luthor's sense of menace. It also happens to be an inversion of Superman's theme.
* "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fZFH4dHvTa0 Black and Blue]]" captures the epicness of the battle between Superman and Batman, and even features a reprise of "Beautiful Lie" during the part where Clark asks Bruce to save his mother and Bruce flashes back to the night his parents died.

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rdc6QjBNOOU "This Is My World"]] is a 6-minute long TearJerker, starting and ending with elegiac and sorrowfully triumphant reminiscences of ''Man of Steel'', as Superman tells Lois she "is his world" and sacrifices himself to kill Doomsday, then lays dead with Wonder Woman, Batman, and a crying Lois surrounding him.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ShTw1x2Lsrc&t=142s "Men Are Still Good]] (The Batman Suite)," which plays over Bruce's monologue at the end, is a beautiful reprise of "Look to the Stars" from ''Man of Steel'', illustrating Bruce's [[CharacterDevelopment change of heart]] and conveying the idea that the ideals that Kal-El strived for live on in the face of his death.

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zFJgCSCtnfk The first teaser's music]] powerfully builds up the tension that will lead to the showdown between Batman and Superman.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7niQ7YI197U "None Shall Live"]] (by Two Steps From Hell) from the Ultimate Edition trailer is a truly epic piece. This was reused for the first trailer for ''Film/Aquaman2018''.

* The first mainstream single from the soundtrack, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-59jGD4WrmE Sucker for Pain]], features a very mood-fitting catchy chorus by Music/ImagineDragons and a great final verse by Music/LilWayne. It also features a pretty solid well-known line-up, with Wiz Khalifa, X Ambassadors, Ty Dolla $ign, and Logic trading verses.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rxwh6rPFpOM Task Force X]] was the first posted on [=WaterTower=] Music's Website/YouTube channel, and it is ''glorious''.
* Music/{{ACDC}}'s [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=26wrvblgGP0 "Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap"]] is very fitting for an AwesomeAussie robbing a bank like Captain Boomerang. Even though he gets his ass handed to him in a matter of seconds by the Flash.

** [[https://youtu.be/UprcpdwuwCg "Heathens"]] by Music/TwentyOnePilots captures how the Squad feels about Belle Reve and their lot in life. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xj2YAfdzHp0 Raon Lee's]] cover of "Heathens" is on par with the original.

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xsDibxZlRhg "No Man's Land"]] gloriously plays when Diana ventures into the No Man's Land and helps liberate a village. It smoothly integrates Wonder Woman's leitmotif to top it all.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9e8d7X90WLE "The God of War"]] is all you need for a classic-sounding villainous presence and an epic FinalBattle.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WzWx9pHSOtA "Lightning Strikes"]]. The calmness of the beginning ramping up into full-blown badassery exemplifies Diana's UnflinchingWalk against her final showdown with Ares, culminating in one intense reiteration of her theme.
* The end credits' art is a treat, and the track that goes with it, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OsOZH0jjU4M&t=35s "Action Reaction,"]] is ''mighty''.
* Original to the movie, Music/{{Sia}}'s [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T84LqClui9A "To Be Human"]] feat. Labrinth is a beautiful song played [[AwardBaitSong over the credits]] that expresses and explores her reluctance to give in to being human and just love, "even when it gets too much."

* The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wdf9nrH0yX0 Comic Con trailer's first music]] is haunting, a perfect fit to accompany a graceful mythical Amazon who's thrown into the death machine that was the first World War.

* Music/ImagineDragons' [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bNCwntA42iE "Warriors"]] is very fitting for Diana's kickassery in the trailers.

* At the beginning of the film, Music/{{Sigrid}}'s cover of the Music/LeonardCohen song [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=siH48ak87kw "Everybody Knows"]] beautifully captures the mood of [[HoldingOutForAHero a world that feels lost without Superman]].
* Elfman didn't reprise most of Hans Zimmer's works. However, the first notes of the familiar theme of Krypton, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ats1VhmOESQ "Look to the Stars"]], can still be heard when the League enters the genesis chamber of the Kryptonian ship to revive Superman. Zimmer's themes are heard in two {{deleted scene}}s, namely the one where Clark comes back to the Kryptonian scout ship and finds two suits there (a Kryptonian space suit and the black Kryptonian skinsuit) and the one where he meets Alfred Pennyworth for the first time. In both scenes, Zimmer's music beautifully harkens back to ''Man of Steel'' to highlight Superman's rebirth and the hope that comes with it.
* Just like the title, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ojyuFzWA0v4 "Hero's Theme"]] is a very heroic-sounding track, fitting for the greatest superhero team in the world.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g8TtCl7N4rE "Justice League United"]] is an epic, triumphant track.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=src1At0Ip0g "The Story of Steppenwolf"]] plays during the "History Lesson" sequence. It starts with very ominous-sounding orchestral music with angelic choir, leading to a bombastic climax before slowing down to a sad ending, very fitting for Steppenwolf's story.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7QtbCmj71B0 "Home"]] is one of the few calmer tracks in the film, with the same vibe as Elfman's ''Big Fish'' theme.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nYiwvjWAtIk "Batman on the Roof"]] is ''awesomely'' ominous, with subtle hints of Hans Zimmer's two-note ''The Dark Knight'' motif and Elfman's own iconic theme.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fLNV2MgNDBw "The Final Battle"]] reprises the 1989 ''Film/{{Batman|1989}}'' theme and seamlessly integrates the Music/JohnWilliams ''Superman'' theme for the big turning point. It also has elements of the themes from ''WesternAnimation/BatmanTheAnimatedSeries'' and ''Series/TheFlash1990'', with even a bit of ''Series/TheFlash2014'' mixed in.
* The intro to [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_a0DJn1eByM "Anti-Hero's Theme"]] sounds VERY similar to the "Launch" cue from ''Man of Steel'', before turning into a best-of suite that compiles a lot of motifs from the film, including Steppenwolf, The Flash, a portion Hero's Theme, and ends with a reprise of Elfman's Batman theme.

* The first full trailer uses a rocking cover of Music/TheBeatles' "Come Together" by Gary Clark Jr. and Music/JunkieXL, to great effect. The SDCC trailer starts with snippets of it, and the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UX7bxe2whlw full song]] was released in September 2017, and it plays over the end credits.

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=91frtrftNJw "Arthur"]] is Aquaman's own leitmotif, with equal parts regal and cool. The horns give way to the main melody, while the synths emulate the waves and, along with the guitar accents, make it clear this version of the character is the epitome of everything Aquaman has ever been over the years.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o4jt40JAsqo "The Black Manta"]] is as ominous and awesome as a villain's DynamicEntry can be.
* Queen Atlanna and Thomas Curry's romance is accompanied by the dreamlike Music/SigurRos track [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vmD-9_ZifB8 "Sæglópur"]]. The [[MeaningfulName song's title]] is roughly translated to "lost at sea".
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9thM5gLs2tg "Everything I Need"]], which plays over the first part of the end credits, mixes Skylar Grey's ethereal vocals with pounding drums to peaceful and oddly calming effect.

* The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V9uCJjNWo8c main theme]] gives off a true superhero vibe, like the classic Music/JohnWilliams ''{{Franchise/Superman}}'' theme. Listen to that brass, those woodwinds. Truly inspiring. When a certain cameo happens at the end of the movie, that very {{leitmotif}} accompanies it, similarly to ''Justice League''.

* Music/CharlotteLawrence's [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S5Byloji-9Q "Joke's On You"]] plays at the beginning of the movie where Harley is blowing up Ace Chemicals and separating herself from the Joker. The lyrics basically tell us all that she is utterly sick of being used and abused by the Joker.
* Music/DojaCat's [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RsW66teC0BQ "Boss Bitch"]] is just plain ol' fun and flows like fire, also matching Harley's overall badassery.
* Music/{{Halsey}}'s [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VY2l7D-eR8w "Experiment on Me"]] is a rocking song that many enjoy, especially when she belts out towards the end.

* Music/MeganTheeStallion and Music/{{Normani}}'s version of [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r1MxCSRWgI0 "Diamonds"]] is an interesting take on the original song that highlights the crazy and childishly fun side of Harley. Bonus points for the gorgeous music video that blends clips from the movie seamlessly with clips of the singers, as well as featuring visually stunning, movie-worthy sets (e.g. Megan Thee Stallion playing whack-a-mole with Joker heads).
* Similar to Diamonds, Saweetie and newcomer GALXARA covers on the melody/cover of Dean Martin's 'Sway' with [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=19pp2jNapL4 "Sway with Me"]] that carries on the Latino Pop elements and highlights the mischief of Harley and Cassandra. The song is enjoyable for GALXARA belting out high vocals.

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WMG_jfu_xAA "Harley Quinn (Danger Danger)"]] is a Music/RageAgainstTheMachine-esque instrumental that plays during her assault on the police station. The instrumental was also used for a song on the album, but by itself? It's ''bad. Ass.''
* If "Danger Danger" is her kickass theme, then [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UELdTyId394 "The Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn"]] is Harley's sad theme for the movie, seemingly a take-off of the "You Don't Own Me" cover from ''Suicide Squad'' that takes up a chunk of the score album.
* The theme for the Birds of Prey themselves is played throughout the movie, with its melody cooed through important moments. It all comes together for their [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xheGZDhCh4k self-titled song,]] which plays as Harley and the Birds work together to fight off Black Mask's army. If you thought bird cooing couldn't be awesome... think again.

* "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o7b3GyGFS-M Open Road]]" is exciting as hell because it's the triumphant return of "Is She With You?".
* Who could have guessed that "Beautiful Lie" - a track that's associated with Bruce Wayne - would get a reprise in a Wonder Woman sequel? Extra awesome is that it's played against Diana's heroic speech, in which she points out that while lies can be beautiful, so can truth. It's one-upped by [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1IKL8Pf79W0 "The Beauty In What Is"]], with the OneWomanWail at 1:41 dramatically conveying Maxwell Lord's [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone growing realization]] towards the effects of his wish-making; namely, that it's putting his son in danger.

* The epicness of [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VUY0_TZ0jdU "The Crew at Warpower"]] is simply off the charts. It even has a ''[[WesternAnimation/JusticeLeague Justice League Unlimited]]'' vibe to it!
* Allison Crowe's version of "Hallelujah" plays [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LLzVvhbKS_4 during the end credits]] as a heartfelt tribute to Zack Snyder's daughter Autumn, whose suicide forced Snyder to back out of the film back in 2017.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FuTgX3M_4lM "A Hunter Gathers"]] plays during the main titles and is the perfect opener to both this score and the film, setting the stage as Superman dies and the Mother Boxes awaken to the sound of his death cries echoing across the planet, leading into Bruce's journey in Iceland to find Arthur Curry.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MXUDP6HP4qk "Superman Rising, Part 2"]] is a triumphant blend of two memorable tracks from ''Film/ManOfSteel'' that accompanies the return in action of the Last Son of Krypton in a way that had been sorely missing for five years straight (and resonates even more with the film's own unexpected resurrection and good reception). Special mention goes to the first notes of "What Are You Going to Do When You Are Not Saving the World?", this time turned into a {{triumphant|Reprise}} {{Fanfare}}.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nMowLKSNQ08 "Wonder Woman, a Call to Stand"]], which plays during Diana's first scene where she fights the terrorists, is essentially a reprise of "Is She With You" from ''Batman v Superman'', only even more awesome!

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hq-DsHsBiqI "We Do This Together"]] accompanies the team during their first fight against Steppenwolf on Stryker's Island. It accentuates every member of the Justice League, showing that while they're not fully united yet, they're well on their way. Plus, it's completely awesome to boot.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cOLZK1zd1lU "Middle Mass"]] gives the appropriate menace to the New Gods of Apokolips.
* While not as glamorous as these other entries, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h7XjqPJM5Hs "Human All Too Human"]] reflects much of the emotional depth left out of the theatrical cut, and ultimately coveys how Snyder had intended for Cyborg to be the heart of the film.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B87Y3MdOtqM "The Will to Power"]] is an apocalyptically bombastic and sinister track befitting Darkseid.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rIxZAD9COWk "Monument Destroyer"]] underscores the uncertainty of the resurrected Superman, then blossoms into full-on menace as Superman goes ballistic and the Justice League struggles to contain him. The later portion of the track uses a part of "Arcade" from ''Film/ManOfSteel'', serving to illustrate how Superman is (temporarily) acting more like Zod.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CBkulheMv_Y "The Foundation Theme"]] is an uplifting and inspirational piece that is guaranteed to elicit happy tears. Never before has victory been so beautifully encapsulated.

* Music/LeonardCohen's "Hallelujah" is beautifully appropriate for the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oTXrl8H6luI first trailer]] of this long-awaited film, and the lyrics are especially meaningful for fans who campaigned to have it released.
* When the film was planned to release on HBO as a mini-series, a title sequence involving the Mother Boxes set to Tom Wait's "Time" was prepared, but later scrapped for a film release. It can be seen [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3ca0JalDpjE here]].

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=59zs16-G7ZM "Oh No!!!"]] by Music/{{Grandson}} captures the DenserAndWackier nature of ''Film/TheSuicideSquad'' well, a rap rock song that captures the aggression of the new and improved Suicide Squad with a loud and gritty instrumental that is both bombastic and catchy.

* The final trailer features and reveals the theme song made for the movie; [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1fzpQzuA7UE "Rain"]] by grandson and Jessie Reyez which captures the melancholy of the Suicide Squad.

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=51kMlM6YcH4 "So This Is the Famous Suicide Squad"]], John Murphy's theme for the film, is a grungy and badass introduction to the new and improved Task Force X.

* The scene of Harley rampaging through the presidential mansion, [[MookHorrorShow massacring dozens of Corto Maltese soldiers in the process]], is soundtracked by [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mukQYm-O-AY "Just A Gigolo/I Ain't Got Nobody" by Louis Prima]], [[SoundtrackDissonance a perky mid-tempo swing jazz standard about being lonely and lovesick]].
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O7SrCdDZ8-k "Ratism"]], which plays during the scene when Ratcatcher unleashes an army of rats against Starro, manages to flow between being solemn and touching, to being an appropriately rousing piece of music for the final battle of a superhero film.

* While not used entirely in the film, the remix of [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A3GUGTm0Xvw "Oh No"]] featuring Vic Mensa and Masked Wolf is as badass as the original song.

* "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5cdOL2z5vQQ Do Ya Wanna Taste It]]" by Wig Wam accompanies the opening musical sequence, which should tell you exactly what kind of show you'll be in for with all the characters dancing with completely straight faces. It culminates in the final battle playing the entire song, with the fight choreography perfectly synced to every big beat.

* Right before the ending of episode 6, Peacemaker sits down at a piano and performs a haunting melody ([[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ye-MwxuXfeo "Home Sweet Home"]] by Music/MotleyCrue, to be exact) that embodies the sadness and anger he's struggling with. And John Cena [[TheCastShowOff played it himself.]]
* Episode 6 concludes with [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wQvEItnEG-8 Reckless Love's "Monster"]] over the montage of Goff-as-Sophie taking over the entire police station and jail with butterflies as Auggie suits up as the White Dragon.

* The infamous [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xhfnTs0RZLs Pitbull remix]] of "Africa" by Toto may be one of the most bizarre and inexplicable choices for any song ever put into a superhero movie, yet much like the film itself, the song (with its oddly catchy Pitbull rap verses, pumping [=80s=] synth backup, and Rhea's heartfelt vocals) goes so beyond purely ridiculous [[NarmCharm that it loops back into being awesome again.]]

* [[https://youtu.be/f9ydfcm5UTM Black Adam's Theme]] gives off the vibe that your impending doom is fast approaching. When the choir singers join in, it's like they're choosing to worship this threat as it's the only way to protect their lives.
* [[https://youtu.be/_Uz9UkyyEp8 The Justice Society Theme]] makes liberal use of string instruments and choir singers. The end result makes them seem more like heroes from a fantasy film rather than an action film.

* "Men Are Still Good (The Batman Suite)," which plays over Bruce's monologue at the end, is a beautiful reprise of "Look to the Stars" from ''Man of Steel'', illustrating Bruce's [[CharacterDevelopment change of heart]] and conveying the idea that the ideals that Kal-El strived for live on in the face of his death.

* "Monument Destroyer" underscores the uncertainty of the resurrected Superman, then blossoms into full-on menace as Superman goes ballistic and the Justice League struggles to contain him. The later portion of the track uses a part of "Arcade" from ''Film/ManOfSteel'', serving to illustrate how Superman is (temporarily) acting more like Zod.

* "The Red Capes Are Coming" definitely captures Lex Luthor's sense of menace. It also happens to be an inversion of Superman's theme.

* Right before the ending of episode 6, Peacemaker sits down at a piano and performs a haunting melody ([[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ye-MwxuXfeo "Home Sweet Home"]] by Motley Crue, to be exact) that embodies the sadness and anger he's struggling with.

* Ghostwriter Music's "Sidewinder", used in the final trailer. It perfectly embraces the premise of an epic and splashy underwater adventure, and the epic choir part in the last 20 seconds send shivers down the spine.

* Who could have guessed that "Beautiful Lie" - a track that's associated with Bruce Wayne - would get a reprise in a Wonder Woman sequel? Extra awesome is that it's played against Diana's heroic speech, in which she points out that while lies can be beautiful, so can truth.

* The second episode's credits feature a [[https://youtu.be/JaZyBnsu1wc hair-metal cover]] of Music/FosterThePeople's "Pumped Up Kicks", which is both an awesome cover of the song but also a hilarious CallBack to the argument earlier in the episode about the merits of hair metal vs. pop.

* "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S176AKQhcCk Is She With You]]" serves as Wonder Woman's theme and {{Leitmotif}}. Used brilliantly during her introduction in costume, in which [[spoiler:she saves Batman by deflecting a blast from Doomsday with her bracers, showing her in her classic pose]].

* [[https://youtu.be/f8z42YoFhlQ "Fight Night"]], which plays during Batman's assault on Anatoly Knyazev's warehouse to [[spoiler: rescue Martha Kent from Luthor's clutches.]] It perfectly underscores the violence, bruality and action of the fight.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rdc6QjBNOOU "This Is My World"]] is a 6-minute long TearJerker, starting and ending with elegiac and sorrowfully triumphant reminiscences of ''Man of Steel'', as Superman tells Lois she "is his world" [[spoiler:and sacrifices himself to kill Doomsday, then lays dead with Wonder Woman, Batman, and a crying Lois surrounding him]].
* "Men Are Still Good (The Batman Suite)," which plays over [[spoiler:Bruce's monologue at the end]], is a beautiful reprise of "Look to the Stars" from ''Man of Steel'', perfectly illustrating [[spoiler:Bruce's [[CharacterDevelopment change of heart]] and conveying the idea that the ideals that Kal-El strived for live on in the face of his death]].

* Music/{{ACDC}}'s [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=26wrvblgGP0 "Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap"]] is very fitting for an AwesomeAussie robbing a bank like Captain Boomerang. Even though he gets his ass handed to him in a matter of seconds by [[spoiler:the Flash]].

* Elfman didn't reprise most of Hans Zimmer's works. However, the first notes of the familiar theme of Krypton, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ats1VhmOESQ "Look to the Stars"]], can still be heard when the League enters the genesis chamber of the Kryptonian ship [[spoiler:to revive Superman.]] Zimmer's themes are heard in two {{deleted scene}}s, namely the one where Clark comes back to the Kryptonian scout ship and finds two suits there (a Kryptonian space suit and the black Kryptonian skinsuit) and the one where he meets Alfred Pennyworth for the first time. In both scenes, Zimmer's music beautifully harkens back to ''Man of Steel'' to highlight Superman's rebirth and the hope that comes with it.

* Who could have guessed that "Beautiful Lie" - a track that's associated with Bruce Wayne - would get a reprise in a Wonder Woman sequel? Extra awesome is that it's played against Diana's heroic speech, in which she points out that while lies can be beautiful, so can truth. It's one-upped by [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1IKL8Pf79W0 "The Beauty In What Is"]], with the OneWomanWail at 1:41 perfectly and dramatically conveying [[spoiler:Maxwell Lord's [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone growing realization]] towards the effects of his wish-making; namely, that it's putting his son in danger]].
* "Already Gone" is a beautiful, heartbreaking piece underscoring [[spoiler:Diana's recanting of her wish and Steve's second death]], which then (in the film) leads into Hans Zimmer's remix of John Murphy's "[[{{Film/Sunshine}} Adagio in D Minor]]" [[spoiler: as Diana takes flight for the first time]].

* [[https://youtu.be/juiULmf-AZ8 "At the Speed of Force"]] perfectly captures the moment when the Flash taps into the Speedforce [[spoiler:to travel in time and save the League from the detonation of the Unity]].

* "Monument Destroyer" underscores the uncertainty of [[spoiler:the resurrected Superman]], then blossoms into full-on menace as [[spoiler:Superman goes ballistic and the Justice League struggles to contain him]]. The later portion of the track uses a part of "Arcade" from ''Film/ManOfSteel'', serving to illustrate how [[spoiler:Superman is (temporarily) acting more like Zod]].

* The bright and colorful opening credits have some hilariously major SoundtrackDissonance as they roll over [[spoiler:[[BlackComedy the mangled corpses of the false A-team Waller sent as a distraction]]]] set to The Jim Carroll Band's "People Who Died".

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O7SrCdDZ8-k "Ratism"]], which plays during [[spoiler: the scene when Ratcatcher unleashes an army of rats against Starro]], manages to flow between being solemn and touching, to being an appropriately rousing piece of music for the final battle of a superhero film.
* The use of "So Busted" by Culture Abuse [[spoiler:at the end of the film with the surviving members being flown out of Corto Maltese]].

* The second episode's credits feature a [[https://youtu.be/JaZyBnsu1wc hair-metal cover]] of Music/FosterThePeople's "Pumped-Up Kicks".
