“I’m obsessive about music so I am excited to have partnered with Spotify and created a character playlist: What the characters from Superman listen to,” Gunn said. “I probably had more fun doing this than anything else I’ve done in the past couple of years… I had to really think about who they were as people and imagine what kind of music they’d be into.”

Clark Kent’s playlist has songs like “Don’t Stop Believin'” by Journey, “The Middle” by Jimmy Eat World, and “Shake It Out” by Florence + The Machine. Lex Luthor’s playlist includes “Fame” by David Bowie, “This Town Ain’t Big Enough for Both of Us” by Sparks, and “Controversy” by Prince.

Eve’s playlist has “Blank Space” by Taylor Swift, “Manchild” by Sabrina Carpenter, and “…Baby One More Time” by Britney Spears. Metamorpho’s playlist has songs like “Digging Your Scene” by The Blow Monkeys, “I Was Never a Normal Boy” by Nightmare of You, and “Rise” by Public Image Ltd. The Engineer’s playlist includes “La Mer” by Nine Inch Nails, “Archangel” by Burial, and “Feral Love” by Chelsea Wolfe.

The playlists of the film’s other characters, Lois Lane and Jimmy Olsen drop on July 8, followed by Mister Terrific, Hawkgirl, and Green Lantern on July 11.
