It’s sadly too late for your summer jam mix-tapes, but DC Comics has announced that it’s releasing a compilation of nearly every single DC-based movie, cartoon, live-action TV show theme song later this year. Along with stuff that’s been kicking around forever like John Williams’ Superman theme and the familiar opening to the 1960s Batman TV show, DC’s The Music Of DC Comics: 75th Anniversary Collection also contains many previously unreleased rarities like the long-lost soundtracks to the Aquaman, Green Lantern, and Hawkman cartoons, dating back to the music from Max Fleischer’s Superman. As Topless Robot says, just about the only glaring omission is the theme from the new Teen Titans (though we're sure you'll point out more), but at 31 tracks, you’ll still have plenty of mood music. Here’s the complete track list.
