When Every Song On The Superman Soundtrack Plays In The Movie

Superman Has An Original Score And Some Classic Pop Songs

Superman Theme by John Williams – Superman opens with a stirring reimagining of John Williams’ iconic Superman theme. This version begins with a subdued, electric guitar-driven melody as Superman’s limp body is revealed in the icy wilderness. From there, the theme is adapted throughout the score, sometimes quiet and melancholic, other times booming with full orchestration as Superman rises again.

Bring Me Sunshine by Sophie Madeleine – This lighthearted, retro cover plays briefly on a radio inside Lex Luthor’s desert base as Superman arrives in captivity. The irony of the lyrics is stark, foreshadowing Superman’s looming entrapment in a sunless pocket universe where his powers will fail and healing becomes impossible. It’s a fleeting moment, but deeply thematic.

5 Years Time by Noah & The Whale – As Mister Terrific and Lois Lane infiltrate Luthor’s desert base, this upbeat indie track plays on a nearby radio. It transitions into score as Mister Terrific battles Luthor’s security forces with effortless precision. The juxtaposition of whimsical music and high-octane action creates one of the film’s most memorable and stylistic sequences.

Punkrocker by Teddybears feat. Iggy Pop – This track begins at the end of Superman, just after Supergirl is introduced in the Fortress of Solitude and Superman is reviewing old family videos. “Punkrocker” continues through the start of the end credits. It gives the finale an unexpectedly cool, rebellious vibe that reflects the new generation of heroes taking the spotlight.

The Mighty Crabjoys Theme by The Mighty Crabjoys – Heard in the second half of the end credits, this is a fictional track by a fake band. Originally introduced in Creature Commandos, it adds a tongue-in-cheek touch to the movie’s close. It serves as a wink to DC viewers paying attention across projects and provides a connection to the wider DCU.
