Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) is the soundtrack to the film of the same name composed by Hans Zimmer and Junkie XL. It was released on March 18, 2016, by WaterTower Music. The exclusive deluxe edition of the album contains five bonus tracks, entitled "Blood of My Blood", "Vigilante", "May I Help You, Mr. Wayne?", "They Were Hunters" and "Fight Night".[2] The soundtrack also features the Eric Whitacre Singers.[3]

The style elements from "Is She with You?" were used as the theme music for the subsequent Wonder Woman soundtrack,[4] while a variation of the piece "Beautiful Lie" is used in the film Wonder Woman 1984.[5]
