Episode four of CINEMATIC SOUND RADIO ON WROCK is a Batman/Superman themed program. The show opens up with new music by Hans Zimmer and Tom Holkenborg (Junkie XL) from BATMAN v SUPERMAN: DAWN OF THE JUSTICE. Our John Williams album of the week comes from 1978’s SUPERMAN: THE MOVIE. Our re-recording of the week is Danny Elfman’s BATMAN from the album FANTASTIC JOURNEY featuring conductor Erich Kunzel and the Cincinnati Pops Orchestra. Our video game score of the week is BATMAN: ARKHAM ORIGINS with music by Christopher Drake. And we’ll end the program with three end title pieces from SUPERMAN: THE ANIMATED SERIES by Shirley Walker, BATMAN: THE ANIMATED SERIES by Shirley Walker & Danny Elfman and SON OF BATMAN by Frederik Wiedmann.
We’ll also be playing new music from non-Batman/Superman themed films including Bear McCreary’s brilliant score to 10 CLOVERFIELD LANE and Clint Mansell’s impressive score to HIGH-RISE.

This was a really great show. Loved the part II. Just ordered Fantastic Journeys. Thanks for playing all the great music and keeping film scores alive.
Yeah, I think you are right about the BvS score. It’s too bad, because the “Man of Steel” has grown on me (even if that film has not). I guess this one might, too, but I’ll listen on Spotify a while longer before taking the plunge to buy it for my collection.
Haven’t listened to this whole episode yet, but I am really enjoying your WROCK series. Keep up the grand work!
Thanks Michael. There are some pretty interesting ‘moments’ in the BvS score but not enough to sustain a coherent album listen. Too bad because the two composers clearly tried to give each character their own defining melodic hooks… they just didn’t really know what to do with them once they were written!
Wow, the back-to-back contrast between BvS and Superman ’78 couldn’t be (superhero pun alert!) starker. I wish every executive at Marvel and DC would listen to the first half of this episode and learn from it. Thanks for another great show and an awesome series!
I’m glad my comparison of the two scores came through clear as day! Thanks for listening, Chris!
Hallo Eric!
Wow, now there are so many shows. It´s a time ago, Il last vistit your side. The Wrock Radio Shows are great, because you offer the listner a window to the present and the past. So the listner can compare the old and the new like Superman 1978 (what a masterpiece!!!) with the new mess of music from Hans Zimmer and co (luckily Zimmers last superhero score! 🙂 ). Thanks to your show I will see “Hologram for a king” and thanks to an older show I know the fantastic music and now the movie too “A Tale of the forest – Metsan tarina”. On your shows O can celebrate my all time classics and sometimes I find new fine scores. Wrock Radio 2:
Yes, “The Blue Max – and more” – album is a really treat. I see it like you. A really stunning double CD.
Go on and I listen on your shows. Great!!!
And: The old superhero scores are for me still the very best: Elfmans Batman, Williams Superman 1 (I love the love theme since 25 years I knowm it so much too) and Jerry Goldsmiths The Shadow (1994). Goldsmiths concert suite from Supergirl 1984 is great too.

Incredible post, Andre. Thank you very much to taking the time to write! I’m glad you are enjoying the program and are still enjoying shows from the past! Being on WROCK has truly inspired me. It has made me stick to a schedule and with doing so I’ve found the passion that I seemed to have lost when I left C101.5 FM in Hamilton almost ten years ago. I still enjoyed doing the show, and still love film music but WROCK has injected new energy, and as I said, NEW passion into me and the show! It’s been such a fun ride and I don’t want to stop!
