Antonius B. Thomas "Tom" Holkenborg (born December 8, 1967), known by his stage name Junkie XL or as JXL for short, is a Dutch composer, multi-instrumentalist, DJ, producer, and engineer. He provided additional music for Man of Steel[1], Zack Snyder's Justice League and co-wrote the score for Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice with Hans Zimmer.
He composed an unfished score for Justice League before he was replaced by Danny Elfman, although the finished film still ended up using the cover for the song "Come Together" that he arranged in collaboration with Gary Clark Jr..
Junkie XL's remixed version of Elvis Presley's song "A Little Less Conversation" was later used for the end credits of Shazam! Fury of the Gods.
Some of Junkie's themes from Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice were also reused for the video game experience Justice League VR: The Complete Experience.
