What songs would fit DC Comics?

Jethro Tull, "Thick as a Brick"

(for those that don't know: it's basically two continuous songs each about 20 minutes long, so will only post the most pertinent verse)

So, come on ye childhood heroes!
Won't you rise up from the pages
Of your comic-books, your super crooks
And show us all the way
Well! Make your will and testament
Won't you join your local government?
We'll have Superman for president
Let Robin save the day

For me, it's all about Moloko. Ever since "Fun For Me," I've been loving that group so much. And if you know me (from my earliest posts on this board or just recently), you know I'm mad they didn't show Atomica inside Scorch in Justice League Vol 2 #27. So if they showed inside, I know that THIS song would fit.

It's trippy, creepy as hell, and would honestly fit the dark interior. Just give it a listen, it's so good.

Now, if you've ever seen Season 2 of Krypton, you know that Seg-El at one point was possessed by Brainiac, but managed to fight back. I, of course, speculated what would happen if he didn't, and the result would be him turning against the council and slaughtering many. And I know the perfect song for it, STRAIGHT off the Batman & Robin soundtrack!!

It gives off that "evil" vibe, just like in the movie with the bike racers. And some of the lyrics actually fit the predicament ("I dream that I am sittin' in the devil's company.") If you've never heard this song, you MUST give it a listen!! It's AWESOME!!

"Kryptonite" by 3 Doors Down is literally Injustice in a song, and I sing it on Superman: Ultimate Flight at Six Flags Great Adventure.

That's quite it for me. I hope I get to hear your music picks!

When I originally read James Robinson's Starman, I would listen to a lot of Leonard Cohen and Chris Isaak (along with a smattering of actual film scores). It really enhanced my enjoyment of an already masterful series and I always had a hunch that Jack Knight was a huge Cohen fan.
