The Death of the Superhero

Matthew Sweet's weekly look at music for the screen

As new 'Superman' and 'Fantastic Four' films are released, Matthew Sweet asks if the Superhero cycle, having dominated cinema so long, has reached its end; and what role do superhero movies have when the post world war order that the superhero embodied is breaking apart?

Matthew's chosen soundtracks include music from the new Superman film, Batman, The Avengers, Spiderman and Thor.
