Music from the soundtrack was performed by the Hollywood Studio Symphony. The orchestra was conducted by Nick Glennie-Smith and Junkie XL, while the choir, the Eric Whitacre Singers, was conducted by Gavin Greenaway. Additional music was provided by Andrew Kawczynski, Steve Mazzaro, and Benjamin Wallfisch.
The soundtrack received majorly favorable reviews from critics. Zanobard Reviews praised the score, stating that "Hans Zimmer and Junkie XL’s Batman V Superman: Dawn Of Justice is a truly fantastic score, with the exquisite use of themes (both old and new) being the absolute highlight"[22]. In AllMusic, Marcy Donelson characterized the score as "pulsing and ominous", stating that the entry features "clamorous orchestral fare boosted by occasional choir and electronics, altogether providing near operatic accompaniment as the two superheroes are forced to do battle".[23] In Sputnikmusic, it was stated that Batman v Superman score "isn’t quite an epic standalone soundtrack, but when paired with its accompanying film, it elevates certain scenes into the stratosphere with its healthy balance of renovated MoS motifs integrated into fresh ones to illustrate that this is indeed a turning point in the DCEU."[24]
