Both "Into the Spiderverse" and "Birds of Prey" quickly became some of my favorite comic book movies of all times, not just because of their unique esthetic, fun characters and more authorial voice compared to the MCU, but because both have an incredible album and score accompanying the action on screen. When a movie have a memorable soundtrack attached to it, it not only makes the scenes more dramatic or flashy, it also makes the whole experience of the movie stick with you for a longer time. Every time i hear a music from the Into the Spiderverse soundtrack i immediately remember the scene from the film where it played and suddenly all the feelings i felt when watching it come back to me. Does anybody else also feel emotional when they hear "Whats up danger" play? That's the kind of effect a good soundtrack have on you.
If you want a more in depth analysis about Spiderverse score you can check out Sideways video about it (subscribe to the channel people, it's very good!)
But one of the elements that i love the most about it it's how Pemberton blends both the album music and his score through his compositions, something that movies scores rarely do.
Wich finally bring us to Birds of prey.

And, here's the movie main theme (it plays both during the opening credits sequence and a rearrangement of it plays during the ending):
It's so cool seeing this kind of cohesion in a movie soundtrack, but what really grabbed my attention was the quality of the track. I just love the western vibe that it evokes, showing that we are in for a story with characters that have a reprehensible sense of morality, but also the female vocals are so damn powerful, it helps to set the tone for the feminist vibe of the film. But that's not all, the score cover lots of different genres without losing quality or cohesion
For more info about the soundtrack just check the whole interview he had with Fandom, it's really worth your time: https://www.fandom.com/articles/birds-of-prey-harley-quinn-score-music.
In Conclusion:
I created this thread because just like the movie it was made for, the soundtrack isn't getting the recognition that it deserves. Pemberton's score was released 4 days ago and almost no one seem to care and that's a shame because the score is freaking good. So in conclusion, listen to both birds of prey album and original score, and if haven't listened to Spiderverse soundtrack (album and score) also check it out, both are available on Spotify.
