Music can be a vast cue to what a form a film is take aim , and Elfman taking over for Junkie XL clearly suggests Whedon is working on give the pic a more fun , exciting flavour . Elfman , who also made memorable music for The Simpsons , Pee - Wee ’s Big Adventure , Darkman , Men in Black , Beetlejuice , Dick Tracy , and many many more , institute a certain quirky pop quality to his oeuvre . Junkie XL ’s piece of work is undoubtedly amazing ( in addition to Batman v Superman , he crushed the musical score to Mad Max : Fury Road ) but so far it has n’t had the same dignity as Elfman ’s superhero work . This change is correct in line with the new mantra of the DC Universe we saw in Wonder Woman : “ heart , temper , promise , heroics , and optimism , ” harmonize to DC president Geoff Johns .

Justice League , which is currently in reshoots , will open November 17 .
