He adds, “That’s the quality world music has for me. That’s the philosophy, so the music needed to it breathes for thousands of years, forwards and backwards at the same time.” And it’s such a strong clan and it has such an old quality to it they’ve always been here and they always will be here. There’s a lot of Amazon clan tribe in there, where she comes from. Says Holkenborg, “I made the music very tough for her at times, and way more emotional than the original was, because I infused her theme with a lot of world music elements. With obvious eastern and Mediterranean influences, it might better resemble the music in Ridley Scott’s Gladiator than it does traditional superhero movies. In fact, a more regal and ethereal leitmotif plays just as often for Diana and the rest of the Amazons-it’s a piece of music that relies on choral chants and lamentations. It also is not the only Wonder Woman theme in the movie.

Hence when you hear the “Wonder Woman Theme” in the Snyder Cut next week, it will be familiar but more guttural, as if it’s consumed by a drive to cut straight for the throat. It’s like why are we softening up her music? If anything it should be the roughest of all of them.” My answer is, ‘Have you actually seen how she kicks ass?’ She takes a whole army out by herself.

“But what was missing, potentially, in an earlier approach is that everything Diana does is covered with a blanket of being feminine and being respectful that she’s a woman. “It does use that riff,” Holkenborg says when we sit down for a Zoom roundtable interview. Yet this time around, the Dutch composer, who is also known as Junkie XL, was looking to bring out a different side of Wonder Woman’s personality, not to mention Zack Snyder’s decidedly more ancient interpretation of the Amazons. To be sure, the famous electric cello theme composed by Hans Zimmer, whom Holkenborg collaborated with on the score to Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (2016), still appears in Zack Snyder’s Justice League. Tom Holkenborg wants to take an entirely different spin on the music we associate with Diana Prince, aka Wonder Woman.
