"When the new Justice League trailer dropped it came with a soundtrack with The Beatles' classic 'Come Together'... [which] amped up the original track with a gush of adrenaline and a metallic sheen. The talent behind that rendition is none other than Justice League composer Junkie XL (aka Tom Holkenborg) and modern guitar hero Gary Clark Jr." - Consequence Of Sound
