Justice League: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack is the soundtrack to the film of the same name composed by Danny Elfman. It was released on November 10, 2017, by WaterTower Music, while the physical edition was released on December 8 by WaterTower.{{Cite news|url=http://filmmusicreporter.com/2017/10/06/watertower-music-to-release-danny-elfmans-justice-league-soundtrack/|title=WaterTower Music to Release Danny Elfman's 'Justice League' Soundtrack|date=October 6, 2017|publisher=Film Music Reporter|access-date=November 14, 2017}} Most of the material used in Elfman's soundtrack was discarded by Tom Holkenborg (whom Elfman replaced as composer for the film's 2017 theatrical cut){{Cite web|url=https://collider.com/tom-holkenborg-interview-snyder-cut-justice-league/|title=Composer Tom Holkenborg on Throwing Out His Original 'Justice League' Score for The Snyder Cut|date=March 16, 2021|publisher=Collider|access-date=March 23, 2021}} when he returned to score the 2021 director's cut of the film.
The score received mixed reception from critics and fans alike. While some praised its orchestral sound{{Cite news|last=Southall|first=James|title=Justice League|url=http://www.movie-wave.net/justice-league/}} and use of Elfman's original Batman theme{{Cite news|last=McLevy|first=Alex|title=The only distinctive thing about Justice League's score is what it lifts from Tim Burton's Batman|url=https://www.avclub.com/the-only-distinctive-thing-about-justice-leagues-score-1820647840|website=The A.V. Club}} others thought the score was derivative of Elfman's previous scores and too much of a departure from previous DCEU scores.{{Cite news|last=McGlynn|first=Anthony|title=Reusing Classic Batman and Superman Scores Didn't Work For Justice League|url=https://screenrant.com/justice-league-soundtrack-original-batman-superman-scores-bad/}}
