Music of DC Comics to be complied on CD

DC Comics and WaterTower Music have announced a CD titled The Music Of DC Comics: 75th Anniversary Collection.

Released to tie in with the publisher's milestone anniversary, the album features 31 tracks spanning the history of DC film and television adaptations.

"The initial idea I had before this all came together was to make ring tones out of the old Super Friends themes," executive producer Peter Axelrad told CBR.

"From Super Friends to The All-New Super Friends Hour, everybody remembers those. 'Here in the Hall of Justice!' and all that. I thought, 'I would buy ten of those ring tones!' Then it came to the idea that there was so much more out there. Those are so iconic, and there's just more to be had."

The disc includes everything from the theme tune to the 1960s Batman television series to film scores from acclaimed composers John Williams and Danny Elfman. A total of 21 of the tracks on its playlist have never been heard before.

The Music Of DC Comics: 75th Anniversary Collection will be released later this year. A full playlist is available on DC's The Source blog.

My initial reaction to this piece is that anyone who volunteers the information that he was planning to sell Super Friends theme ring tones should not be "Executive Producing" anything. That said, this is actually pretty cool and the Danny Elfman Batman Animated theme alone makes it worth the price of admission.
