How Spider-Man: Into The Spider-Verse Became The Best Superhero Film Since The Dark Knight

10. The Music

Music can make or break a film, especially a superhero one. While many films opt for a more orchestral soundtrack, Into the Spider-Verse opts for a far more modern soundtrack, enlisting the help of several hip-hop stars like Post Malone and XXXTentacion. The result of this bold move is one of the best soundtracks for any superhero film in recent memory.

Not only are these songs fantastic to listen to outside of the film, but they also work great with the tone of the film. The chilling chorus of Scared of the Dark works so well with the sombre mood following the announcement of Peter Parker's death. The best use of music, however, may have been What's Up Danger which was the icing on the cake of one of the best-animated scenes of all time.

The modern aspect of the album fits well with the theme of a new Spider-Man being brought forward and the execution of it was far better than many could have expected. As a result, the emotional beats of the film are executed to perfection.
