For the last decade, comic book adaptations\u00a0have been gracing our screens large and small, changing the film industry and launching the careers of some of the most famous film stars of this generation. It isn’t just film stars getting their big break in comic book movies, however;\u00a0musicians have been launched into the mainstream by both Marvel and DC, both of whom seem to be holding the torch for a more progressive entertainment industry.<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Soundtracks in both Marvel and DC films have been dominated by an eclectic mix of artists<\/a>. DC’s Suicide Squad featured tracks from dream pop princess Grimes to indie rock band Twenty One Pilots.\u00a0The success of the film\u00a0has propelled these artists into the mainstream, and it has allowed the films to remain relevant in a world in which pop culture is changing more rapidly than ever. Examples of this are rife across a range of unexpected sectors too, with the online casino<\/a>\u00a0provider William Hill even hosting\u00a0a Suicide Squad slot game that\u00a0features an exclusive jackpot. Although the music from the film\u00a0doesn’t feature, Spotify has a number of Suicide Squad related playlists, containing\u00a0the music from all of the DC films.<\/p>\n

The renaissance of the comic book movie came in the late 2000s, after a dark decade of fairly dodgy superhero films\u00a0(who can forget George Clooney in the title role of Batman Forever…). The new age of the comic book\u00a0movie was heralded with Iron Man, starring Robert Downey Jr. The film was much darker than\u00a0comic book films that had come before, and although it was edging in the right direction, it was still scored by a traditional action film composer\u00a0and placed itself comfortably within the action genre.<\/p>\n
