Lex Luthor’s theme, The Red Capes Are Coming, in Batman v Superman, is actually a perversion and corruption of Hans Zimmer’s Superman theme, which can be heard in An Ideal of Hope and other soundtracks from Man of Steel, as well as in the Batman v Superman OST. Using the same two note structure but at different tones and speed, and slightly flipped, Lex’s theme is a warped, backwards perversion of Superman’s.
