Junkie XL even released a quick “THANK YOU” for the soundtrack’s success: In an announcement from WaterTower Music, it stated that “Holkenborg’s soundtrack for Justice League: The Snyder Cut debuted at #1 on the iTunes chart.” In addition to debuting at number 1, the soundtrack “has amassed over 1 million streams on Spotify in just 24 hours,” which WaterTower Music highlighted as “a remarkable feat for a soundtrack and confirmation that his “Mount Everest of Scores” has been warmly received by the DC Universe.” The announcement also touches on the meaning behind the project for Holkenborg, calling it a “massive and deeply personal undertaking for him” due to his years of working with Snyder. The new score, which is led by the official Justice League theme, “The Crew at Warpower,” has proven to be a much better fit for the film, and judging by its iTunes success, fans are clearly enjoying the long-awaited soundtrack. In what the composer has called his Mount Everest project, he even added brand new themes for Ben Affleck’s Batman, aptly titled “Batman, a Duty to Fight / To See” and “Batman, an Invocation to Heal / To Be Seen,” to better represent the character’s evolution and motivation in the story. So when the Snyder Cut became a reality, Junkie XL revealed that he ended up scrapping his previous score for Justice League and wrote a whole new one to better represent the four-hour-long film. Of course, like much else in the theatrical release, fans were not pleased with Junkie XL’s soundtrack not supporting the DC film. Once Snyder departed from the Justice League in 2017, many aspects of the film were changed, including replacing Junkie XL with Danny Elfman. Fans of the Snyderverse have celebrated finally seeing the missing pieces from Synder's DC ensemble film, such as Darkseid’s larger presence, Superman’s fully detailed return, and also the return of Junkie XL's soundtrack. Although it received mixed reviews from critics, the majority have added that it’s a significant improvement from Joss Whedon’s theatrical version. After almost four years of build-up, Zack Snyder’s original vision for Justice League was finally unveiled to audiences around the world this past Thursday. The Justice League Snyder Cut soundtrack by Tom Holkenberg (Junkie XL) has hit number 1 on iTunes.
