Benjamin Wallfisch – The Flash (Original Soundtrack) – CD

“The Flash,” directed by Andy Muschietti, is the DC Super Hero’s first-ever standalone feature film. Worlds collide when Barry Allen uses his superpowers to travel back in time in order to change the events of the past. But when his attempt to save his family inadvertently alters the future, Barry becomes trapped in a reality in which General Zod has returned, threatening annihilation, and there are no Super Heroes to turn to. That is, unless Barry can coax a very different Batman out of retirement and rescue an imprisoned Kryptonian… albeit not the one he’s looking for. Ultimately, to save the world that he is in and return to the future that he knows, Barry’s only hope is to race for his life. But will making the ultimate sacrifice be enough to reset the universe?

The film’s score was composed by lauded two-time GRAMMY- and BAFTA-nominated composer Benjamin Wallfisch.

Included on the Soundtrack are “Worlds Collide,” which features a new theme representing the meshing/coming together of DC eras past and present; “Run,” a restless, searching piano figure, representing Barry’s crisis after losing his mother; and two Batman-related themes—“I Am Batman” and “Sounds About Right, Bruce.” Fans may find familiarity upon hearing “I Am Batman,” and for good reason. “The Flash” composer Benjamin Wallfisch explains: “As a DC fan for as long as I can remember, I’ve loved Danny Elfman’s ‘The Batman Theme’ from the moment it hit me as a 10 year old back in 1989. It’s of course one of the most iconic themes of all time, and so beloved by fans around the world, it was my job to pull all the stops out and celebrate it in “The Flash” when Keaton is on screen, whilst also finding a way to completely reinvent it for our movie.
