It ’s only for the self-importance of the director of the composer . ”
He went on to say that these creators “ need to see the incredible lesson that Star Wars and James Bond have known for years , which is that keeping these musical connecter animated is incredibly cheering for the people who see these cinema . ”
Elfman , of course , is well known for writing a few of these classical theme : he indite the music for the first Batman in 1989 , and the opening night theme for Sam Raimi ’s Spider - Man films in the nil . He also wrote music for Avengers : Age of Ultron , also at Whedon ’s behest .
