7. Even the score is grating
Gone is the menacing, orchestral score of the Dark Knight, and instead it is replaced by a synthesized rock mix that couldn’t be further from the classic sounds of the best films. It’s loud, brash and lacks any subtlety or nuance.
Every time Wonder Woman comes on screen there is a loud electric guitar that accompanies her. It is not heroic in the least bit. It is jarring and cheesy. It’s hard to believe Hans Zimmer did this after scoring The Dark Knight, but much of the blame for the terrible music in Batman v Superman can be attributed to Junkie XL.
