First vote to 8 wins. 12 hour time limit.

You would judge this not according to how much you like the movie or tv show itself, but how good you think the musical theme is. So a crappy comic book movie could have a cracking theme, and a fantastic movie could have a crappy or extremely generic theme.

I'll try to provide YouTube links to the music as much as possible so you can listen.

 

[Human Torch]

Sounds like fun.t:

To be honest,I don't know that 16 truly memorable SH themes exist.

 

[DarkSovereignty]

Are Television and movies combined or are they separate categories?

 

[Dark Raven]

Well some are more memorable than others, but some are still pretty good even if they haven't achieved iconic status and are instantly recognisable when you hear them.

And if people don't PM me, then I'm just going to make up the brackets from the 70+ themes I already have and seed them as I see fit.

Are Television and movies combined or are they separate categories?

I think it will be all combined because eventually when the brackets are whittled down to the final, you could end up with a movie vs TV show anyway. So it's just seeing which is the favourite theme overall.

 

[Kahran Ramsus]

John Williams. Superman. End topic.

 

[the last son]

John Williams. Superman. End topic.

+1. Followed closely by BTAS theme.

 

[StarLord]

Elliot Goldenthal's 'Main Title & Fanfare' - Batman Forever Theme!

Underrated.

[redmarvel]

In no particular order:

Original Spider-Man Cartoon


Original Batman T.V. Series


Radioactive Spider-Man Cartoon 1994


I Am Iron Man 1990's


X-Men 1990's


Wonder Woman T.V. Series 1970's

 

[redmarvel]

Incredible Hulk live action T.V. Series


Gargoyles


Hero - Spider-Man movie


My Immortal - Daredevil

 

[redmarvel]

Scooby Doo - Original T.V. Series



and

Scooby Doo Movie theme

 

[Blitzkrieg Bop]

1990's X-Men

 

[Dark Raven]

Scooby Doo - Original T.V. Series



and

Scooby Doo Movie theme

Those two won't qualify because they're not based on a comic book. They're just a Hanna Barbera cartoon. And they're both the same song, just two different versions (one a cover of the original) and not two distinct themes.

And are all these suggestions your list which you wish to submit or are you just randomly listing your favourites like these other threads which aren't tournaments where people list things?

 

[MrMaooz]

Arcade by Hans Zimmer

 

[DCW]

Danny Elfman's Batman theme.

 

[DarkSovereignty]

John Williams- superman
Carlo stilloto- the punisher
Bryan Tyler- iron man 3
Jerry goldsmith- the shadow
Eliot goldenthal- batman forever
Danny elfman- batman
Marco beltrami- hellboy/ the wolverine
Bear mcreery- the walking dead

Can we include this, even though it technically wasn't in the movie?

[YT]0pNY2Krf3Rw[/YT]

 

[Dark Raven]

Ok people have until Monday to get their lists together, after which time I'll be putting together the brackets. Then the tournament should begin next week.

 

[RetrogradeOrbit]

All of the music in Star Trek: The Motion Picture.

That is not a comic. This tournament is for Movies and TV Shows based on Comic Books.

Arcade by Hans Zimmer

Is that a "theme"?

 

[slumcat]

In MOS, General Zod, This is Madness! and Arcade were co-written by Tom Holkenborg (Junkie XL).

 

[James]

I'd like to nominate the Duck Tales theme. (based off Uncle Scrooge comics)

Those theme-writers at Disney knew what they were doing back then.

 

[Quasimod0]

The main theme from Captain America:TFA
The Batman theme ( the wb kids one with the joker who had dreads. )

 

[DarkSovereignty]
