Trainspotting used a plodding Blur song from the Essex group’s unexceptional baggy period ("Sing"), not to mention a farty-horned Damon Albarn solo piece. The soundtracks to Trainspotting and Batman Forever could not be more different. I am talking, dear reader, about Batman Forever. I am talking about the Brit Award winner of Best Soundtrack in 1996. But sandwiched between those two giants stood a soundtrack that has been historically eclipsed by both and criminally underrated by all. Prior to that, Pulp Fiction had won it in 1995, and Trainspotting won it in 1997. The once mighty Brit Awards used to have an award for 'Best Soundtrack', but it stopped in 2001, when it was presumably decreed that nobody would ever beat American Beauty.

Before the premiere of the 2017 film, the hype in seeing all the six DC heroes together was at an all-time high, but the dismal outing of the team on the big screen derailed that momentum. No doubt, these latest posters provide a fascinating look at DC's greatest superheroes. Batman is notably front and center, joined by Superman and Wonder Woman on his left and right, and Cyborg, Aquaman, and The Flash behind them.īATMAN LEADS THE WAY FOR THE JUSTICE LEAGUE
