Composer Pinar Toprak’s Smashing Score For STARGIRL Available Now & Online Store at DC FanDome: Hall of Heroes Saturday, August 22

By  | 

One of the best DC Comics TV shows has just finished its super and terrific first season. Fans of DC Universe’s “Stargirl” were treated to an exciting Season One Finale filled with a Justice League vs the Injustice Society battle, as well as a little cliffhanger for Season 2.

The surprises in season finale gave us so many cool twists and turns, and of course, deep comic book Easter eggs. Plus we got to meet the Seven Soldiers of Victory, a team of Golden Age lawmen, along with team member, “Shining Knight”. And even though the Seven Soldiers never got the name recognition the Justice Society had, they still hold their own special place in the history of the DC Universe.

WaterTower Music has announced fan-favorite DC/Warner Bros. Television series: DC’s Stargirl: Season 1 (Original Television Score) by Emmy-nominated composer Pinar Toprak is available on all platforms now, as well as the online store at DC FanDome: Hall of Heroes on Saturday, August 22.

I love Toprak’s scores – her sounds and music palette in the TV show Superman prequel KRYPTON as well the film CAPTAIN MARVEL are emotionally rich, vibrant and add so much character to the stories of these superheroes.

DC’s Stargirl: Season 1 (Original Television Score) features 22 tracks from the debut season of the hit series. Recently wrapping its first season on both The CW and DC UNIVERSE, DC’s Stargirl was recently renewed for a second season exclusively on The CW. Based on the character created by Geoff Johns, DC’s Stargirl features an epic score by the award-winning film and television composer Pinar Toprak, who received her first Primetime Emmy® nomination this year for her work on HBO’s McMillions.

“I’m a huge fan of show creator Geoff Johns and everything he’s done,” remarked Toprak. “When we met, the way he talked about Courtney, the character, and his vision for DC’s Stargirl really touched my heart. Obviously, I love this genre to begin with, so it was a no-brainer to compose the score. Working with Geoff was just one of the best experiences of my career, to be honest.”

The new Super Hero series DC’s STARGIRL follows high school sophomore Courtney Whitmore (Brec Bassinger) as she inspires an unlikely group of young heroes to stop the villains of the past. This new drama reimagines Stargirl and the very first superhero team, the Justice Society of America, in an unpredictable series that focuses on the character that started creator Geoff Johns’ career as a comic book writer when he created her in 1999, lovingly inspired by his late sister who was killed in a 1996 plane explosion. Also starring Yvette Monreal, Anjelika Washington, Cameron Gellman, Trae Romano, Jake Austin Walker, Hunter Sansone, Meg DeLacy, Neil Jackson, Christopher James Baker, with Amy Smart and Luke Wilson, the first season of DC’s Stargirl was executive produced by Geoff Johns, Greg Berlanti, Melissa Carter, Greg Beeman and Sarah Schechter. Created for television by Johns, the series is produced by Berlanti Productions and Mad Ghost Productions in association with Warner Bros. Television.

Toprak has written music for Epic Games’ massively popular online video game Fortnite. Away from the big screen, Toprak crafted the new main theme for Walt Disney World’s iconic EPCOT theme park and wrote music for Christina Aguilera’s 2019 Xperience show in Las Vegas.

Toprak was the recipient of the 2019 ASCAP Shirley Walker Award and also won the 2019 IFMCA (International Film Music Critics Association) Award for “Best Original Score for a Documentary Film” for her score to The Tides of Fate. She had previously won two other IFMCA Awards for her work on The Wind Gods and The Lightkeepers. which was on the Academy Award® shortlist for Best Original Score in 2011.
