Justice League

November 24, 2001: Interview with Justice League's Kristopher Carter

ToonZone's Dick Grayson caught up with the animated "Justice League" music composer, Kristopher Carter. Here's a small excerpt from the interview:

Q: How did you come up with certain themes for the characters and villians?

A: Themes on the shows have undergone quite an evolution. On the original "Batman" series, Shirley created the themes for all the characters, and it was standard procedure to use that thematic material as the signature for the characters. In "Superman," Shirley created the main Superman theme, but there were often instances where the first composer to deal with a certain character would create the sound for that individual, and then all of us would use that material. The guitar-driven style we utilized in "Batman Beyond" is not as conducive to the kinds of easily-identifiable melodies used in previous series, and thus the characters were represented in much more subtle ways as sonic "colors"--for instance, I used a particular synth ambience with a hint of wind chimes as the main "theme" for Inque, and that sound is present in much of the music I created for her.
