I was just musing as to how I'd make a JLA movie and it struck me that if there is a single character that would most need a kick-ass theme, one that would need to be a ear-worm that you could never get fully out of your head, it would be Darkseid, who would, of course, be the villain of the JLA movie.
But what would it sound most like?
The Imperial March? It's the current theme music for evil. Only problem is that Darkseid is so above mere domination of a Galaxy, which would require the composer of a JLA movie to out-do the Imperial March in awesomeness. Don't see that happening, even if they could somehow get John Williams to score a movie with Darkseid in it.
"Roar"? That was the music that played over the credits for "Cloverfield". It is awesome, and even if you haven't seen Cloverfield I heartily recommend getting it off Itunes or a similar service. It's a tribute to the scores of Kaiju movies, especially Godzilla. Only it's even more awesome.
Lux Aeterna? For those of you who don't know what that is, just go and Youtube it. Yeah, it's that song. Personally, sounds a bit too fast for somebody like Darkseid.
Ride of the Valkyries? Personally, same complaint I have with Lux Aeterna, just doesn't sound like the music that would play as Darkseid shows up on Earth. (Parademons is another story)
The Ark Theme (don't think that's the real name)? That's the forboding, power-of-god-is-gonna-melt-your-Nazi-faces-off music that played in several Ark of the Covenant related scenes in Raiders of the Lost Ark.
