Composers Michael McCuistion, Kristopher Carter & Lolita Ritmanis release Justice League vs. The Fatal Five Complete Original Score Soundtrack Album

Los Angeles, Jan. 15, 2021,

Emmy-winning composers Michael McCuistion, Kristopher Carter & Lolita Ritmanis have just released an album of the complete score to the Warner Bros./DC Universe movie, Justice League vs. The Fatal Five through their label, Dynamic Soundtrack Records, on all major digital and streaming platforms.

Featuring a massive live ensemble of 12 French Horns and a wall of electric guitars, the 72-minute score expands upon the epic rock-orchestral hybrid scores the trio composed for the original hit Warner Bros. animated series Justice League Unlimited.

Says legendary producer Bruce Timm (Batman: The Animated Series, Justice League Unlimited, Batman: The Killing Joke), “The score is AMAZING—thrilling and scary and emotional, hits all the right beats, hits ‘em all out of the freaking park… I can’t get over how rich and meaty it sounds—and yeah, those French horns are tremendous…and of course, I loved the return of the JLU guitars!”
