Title music 'borrowed' for animated JUSTICE LEAGUE


Has anyone noticed how much the main theme to the 2001 Warner Brothers animated series JUSTICE LEAGUE sounds like Harry Robinson's main title music for TWINS OF EVIL? Could the cartoon's composer have been inspired/influenced by Robinson's work in films fantastique?

there have been instances of music sounding similar and being a coincidence. but i must agree this is very close. i didnt notice until i was watching the justice league and all i could think of was peter cushing burning women at the stake (not a usual occurence)

Play the CD of the Hammer soundtrack alongside a DVD of the cartoon...you'd swear you're listening to Surround Sound of the same recording. I see, for JUSTICE LEAGUE UNLIMITED, they've changed the music.

This topic came up elsewhere, recently, and some revelations were made. Apparently one of the Warner Bros staff involved with the JL cartoon was a Hammer horror fan. Not all the details are available, but apparently it is NOT a coincidence that the vampire music was recycled for the first two seasons.
