The Music Of DC Comics

From The Source, here's the scoop on The Music Of DC Comics!

It starts in 1941, with the theme to the classic Fleischer Superman cartoons and moves through the years, including shows and movies like BATMAN, THE NEW ADVENTURES OF SUPERMAN, LOIS & CLARK, BATMAN BEYOND, SMALLVILLE, THE BATMAN and a ton more, all on one compact disc – with 21 of the 31 tracks available for the first time ever.

The collection, which hits stores later this year, is a must-buy for any fan of DC Comics and it's various television, film and cartoon interpretations. Scroll down for the track listing and album art. I know I'll be popping my copy in once it arrives.

Of major interest to Hawkfans are the following tracks:

28. Hawkman - John Gart (1967)
- Previously unavailable. Digitally remastered. From the Filmation cartoon "Hawkman."

Let me just inject and say: WOW!  Never thought we'd see this theme song released!

15. Justice League of America - John Gart (1967)
- Previously unavailable. Digitally remastered. From the Filmation cartoon "Justice League of America."

16. Super Friends - Hoyt Curtin (1973)
- Previously unavailable. Digitally remastered. From the Hanna-Barbera cartoon "SuperFriends."

17. The All New Super Friends Hour - Hoyt Curtin (1977)
- Previously unavailable. Digitally remastered. From the Hanna-Barbera cartoon "The All-New SuperFriends Hour."

18. Justice League Unlimited - Michael McCuistion (2004)
- Previously unavailable. Digitally remastered. From the cartoon "Justice League Unlimited."

You have to love all the team-ups!  I have always dug the bombastically corny Superfriends music.

27. The Atom - John Gart (1967)
- Previously unavailable. Digitally remastered. From the Filmation cartoon "The Atom."

Friends of Hawkman: also welcomed!

There's a great variety of tunes on this album, which looks like a must for a DC Comics fan.  I'll be on the lookout for this one.
