Can They Use The Animated Series Theme?

I know it'll probably never happen as Junkie XL will probably make up his own theme, but it would still be cool if they actually went and took the animated series theme. Either the JLU one or the regular JL theme. Either/or or maybe both. I think it'd fit right in especially considering Wonder Woman's theme is all heavy guitars and whatnot.
And it's not like it would cost them much like it would if, say, they were going to pay John Williams royalties for using the Superman theme. It's an animated show after all.
Just a thought. It's an epic theme, so why not?
How does it feel to be deconstructed? -

I wouldn't be surprised if they used elements of it in the Justice League theme. in BvS, with Batman's music.i could've sworn i hears previous Batman related music.
i know they have to do something new, but maybe incorporate some older music
IMDB taught me: cynicism is praised. optimism must be stamped out wherever it can be found. -

As cool of a theme as it is, I seriously doubt they'd use it.
Why? Because the Williams Superman theme is even more iconic and they deliberately avoided it like the plague, for better or worse.
In fact, I'm struggling to think of anything in MOS or BvS:DOJ that harkens back to any previous Superman, Batman or Wonder Woman incarnation. People TALK about the possibility of superimposing Chris Reeve's face on Henry Cavill's at the end of MOS, but I've never seen that confirmed by anybody from the production team, myself.
So, if they do start implementing things in homage to old movies (or TV shows, for that matter), it would seem like a new approach at best retconning at worst.

This is the shot they're talking about.

I know. And yes, I think it DOES resemble Chris.
Then again, HENRY resembles Chris in that they have many similar facial structures.
When there's an Easter Egg or an homage or a nod to something/somebody else in movies like these, it seems that the filmmakers (sometimes after the film's been out for a while and some folks have discovered it themselves) will confirm it, point it out themselves expound on how or why they did it, etc. I've seen no such confirmation from any of the filmmakers on this. It wouldn't surprise me what-so-ever if this was intentional. But baring any actual confirmation of deliberate activity, it also could have simply been coincidence because of the fact that these men have such similar facial features and the CGI was distorting things the way it was.
Do you know if there's any such discussion from the Filmmakers themselves on this? Has Snyder said that he told the CGI group to do this?

Yeah, I was just pointing out the shot in case you didn't know which one it was.
Edit:

Never heard anything one way or the other.

Of course they "can" use it. WB has legal rights to that song. It doesn't mean they should though, considering that it'd not only suggest an unwillingness to try something different, but it would also mean that they'd be acknowledging the work of that disgusting hack, Bruce Timm, and after that repulsive adaptation of
The Killing Joke
, that guy's work deserves to be forgotten.
