Following Zack Snyder's departure from the director's chair and Whedon joining as his replacement, it was surprising to hear that composer Junkie XL, who previously worked on both Man of Steel and Batman v Superman, was also being replaced with the legendary Danny Elfman.

Totally scrapping the original score and starting anew has caused many fans to suspect that Whedon's creative involvement is much more pronounced than Warner Bros. is claiming, and that he perhaps wanted a more whimsical, classical composer to create a soundscape more in tune with his lighter and more optimistic sensibilities.

There's little doubting that Elfman's going to turn in some fantastic results, and if he can create a memorable theme for the League, it'll be another major win for the DCEU moving forward.
