Composers Hans Zimmer and Junkie XL will write the score for Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice after an exclusive viewing tomorrow.
Having composed the score for Zack Snyder's 2013 film Man of Steel, Hans Zimmer returns with musician and sound engineer Tom Holkenborg, better known as Junkie XL, for the follow-up. With the Dark Knight Trilogy already under his belt, it is thought that the German composer enlisted Holkenborg for the Batman sections of the new film, while he will build on his work from Man of Steel with more Superman-themed composition.

The first trailer of the film will include music from the pair and is confirmed for screening along with the release of Mad Max: Fury Road, for which Holkenborg also composed the score, in cinemas this May.
Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice will arrive on the big screen on 25 March 2016.
