Favorite Super-Hero TV/Movie Theme Songs

[The Toyroom]

My top five:
1) Superman:The Movie (1978)- John Williams opening credits masterpiece
2) Batman (1966)- simple but brilliant
3) Batman (1989)- opening theme NOT the Prince crap
4) Spider-Man (1966)- catchy lyrics..."...does whatever a spider can..."
5) Captain America (1966)- "When Captain America throws his mighty shield"

Worse ever:
Tie: Amazing Spider-Man (1977)-sounds like a discofied porn soundtrack!
If You Could Read My Mind(1978)-Lois Lane's inner monolgue while flying over rooftops with the Man of Steel

[StrangeVisitor]

The Green Hornet theme featuring Al Hirt has to be top ten. "Flight of the Bumblebee" was created independantly of the Hornet but the association has become pretty strong.
The Underdog theme also another simple but catchy one (ba-oo ba-oo..B9)

[Hector]

My top five:
1) Superman:The Movie (1978)- John Williams opening credits masterpiece
2) Batman (1966)- simple but brilliant
3) Batman (1989)- opening theme NOT the Prince crap
4) Spider-Man (1966)- catchy lyrics..."...does whatever a spider can..."
5) Captain America (1966)- "When Captain America throws his mighty shield"

Worse ever:
Tie: Amazing Spider-Man (1977)-sounds like a discofied porn soundtrack!
If You Could Read My Mind(1978)-Lois Lane's inner monolgue while flying over rooftops with the Man of Steel

That's a pretty dead on list.

William's Supes theme has NO equal, the greatest of them all for sure.

Got to go with the one from the 1989 Batman Movie. Was also used in the Animated series too wasn't it? Been awhile since I've seen either so I can't remember off hand.

[Earth 2 Chris]

Worse ever:
Tie: Amazing Spider-Man (1977)-sounds like a discofied porn soundtrack!
If You Could Read My Mind(1978)-Lois Lane's inner monolgue while flying over rooftops with the Man of Steel

Have you ever heard the 70s disco version of "Can You Read My Mind"? It's on the special edition of the Superman Soundtrack. Man, it is grooviliciously bad.

Your list is pretty dead on my picks. I also liked the different theme they used in the 66 Batman movie.

[Mikey]

1. Adventures of Superman (George Reeves)

2. Max/Dave Fleischer Superman theme

3. Chris Reeve's theme

Note:
While I love Adam West's Batman, that theme is such a headache-- I can't see how anyone likes it
