The Flash (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack)

Description

"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… though 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 score was composed by celebrated two-time GRAMMY and BAFTA Award-nominated composer Benjamin Wallfisch. The soundtrack includes "Worlds Collide," which features a new theme representing the mesh/coming together of DC's past and present eras; "Run," a restless, searching piano figure, representing Barry's crisis after the loss of his mother; and two Batman-related themes: "I Am Batman" and "Sounds About Right, Bruce." Fans can familiarize themselves by 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 adored Danny Elfman's 'The Batman Theme' from the moment it hit me at age 10 in 1989. It is, of course, one of the most iconic themes of all time, and so beloved by fans globally, it was my job to go all out and celebrate it in "The Flash" when Keaton is on screen, whilst also finding a way to completely reinvent it for our film." The vinyl and CD configurations of the soundtrack feature 42 tracks with over 80 minutes of music. The triple gatefold packaging is decorated with album artwork featuring The Flash, Batman, and Supergirl. The "A Side / B Side" style discs are inspired by The Flash’s iconic red and yellow costume. "A Side / B Side" color variations and patterns may vary.
