Movie Morsels: BATMAN V SUPERMAN Gives Wonder Woman a Theme Song

Well, it’s about bloody time… Wonder Woman‘s got herself some new theme music in today’s Movie Morsels, and you can hear for yourself if Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice does the Amazon princess proud. Plus, we have more shenanigans from Deadpool, the latest from Alien: Covenant and Allegiant, and more!

Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice

If, like me, you grew up watching Lynda Carter’s 1970s Wonder Woman series, then you no doubt have fond memories of the show’s wah-wah-peddle-driven music and its iconic theme song (wholly but delightfully incongruous with the World War II setting in which its first season took place). Well, it’s been a long time since we’ve had a new live-action theme for the Princess of Paradise, but Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice is taking some tentative first steps toward rectifying that. A cut from the film’s soundtrack by Hans Zimmer and Junkie XL—titled “Is She With You?”—has just arrived online.

The Hateful Eight star Demian Bichir, who joins newcomers Katherine Waterston and Danny McBride, as well as the returning Michael Fassbender. Shooting on the film begins soon in Australia.

A Wrinkle in Time

A Wrinkle in Time

Few young adult novels have quite the reputation of Madeleine L’Engle’s classic A Wrinkle in Time. So it’s heartening to hear that Disney has signed no less a filmmaker than Ava DuVernay, who directed the outstanding Selma, to helm the studio’s adaptation.
