-'''We Will Be Heroes''' is the opening theme song for the English dub of ''[[M10|The Rise of Darkrai]]'' and the eleventh season, [[S11|Pokémon DP: Battle Dimension]]. It was used from ''[[DP053|Tears For Fears!]]'' to ''[[DP104|Sleepless In Pre-Battle!]]''. The opening animation is composed of clips from the eleventh Japanese opening, [[Together]], which was still the only Japanese Diamond & Pearl opening at the time, and from the first Japanese ''[[Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl]]'' ending, [[By Your Side ~Hikari's Theme~]], along with some selected scenes from the anime, mostly from ''[[DP057|Bibarel Gnaws Best]]''.

 ==Trivia==
+* The clips featured in the intro are taken from the episodes [[DP053|Tears For Fears!]], [[DP055|Throwing the Track Switch!]], [[DP056|The Keystone Pops!]], [[DP057|Bibarel Gnaws Best!]], [[DP058|Nosing 'Round the Mountain!]] and [[DP060|Journey to the Unown!]].
+** Most of the clips used are from Tears For Fears! and Bibarel Gnaws Best!.
 * The English, {{pmin|France|French}}, {{pmin|Denmark|Danish}}, {{pmin|Israel|Hebrew}}, {{pmin|Russia|Russian}}, {{pmin|Spain|European Spanish}}, {{pmin|India|Hindi, Tamil, Telugu}}, {{pmin|Portugal|European Portuguese}}, {{pmin|Sweden|Swedish}}, and {{pmin|Germany|German}} versions of this song are the first title song that is sung by a solo female.
 ** The {{pmin|Latin America}}n Spanish, {{pmin|Poland|Polish}}, {{pmin|Italy|Italian}}, {{pmin|the Netherlands|Dutch}}, {{pmin|Brazil}}ian, {{pmin|Finland|Finnish}}, {{pmin|Norway|Norwegian}}, and {{pmin|the Czech Republic|Czech}} versions of this song are sung by a male.
-* It is the first [[List of English opening themes|dub opening]] to include {{wp|opening credits}}.
+* It is the first [[List of English opening themes|dub opening]] to include {{wp|opening credits}}. ''Diamond and Pearl'' did not include them on its initial TV airings, but DVD releases later included opening credits.
 * It is the first {{pkmn|anime}} opening that was used in the {{pkmn|movie}} corresponding to the season ''before'' its release.
 * The end credit variant is used for the Latin American Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese, Hebrew, Hindi, Tamil, Telugu and Czech intros.
 * Whilst all versions use the English logo, the French, Danish, Dutch, Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Italian, Swedish, Iberian Spanish, Finnish, Norwegian, and German versions of the song all use the words "Battle Dimension" in English.
 * The {{pmin|Russia}}n version features voiceover credits for Hisao Shirai, Shinji Miyazaki and Norihiko Sudou. The logo is also translated via voiceover.
-* This season was the first time that the Italian dub of the anime did not produce their own opening distinct from the Japanese and English openings, making this the first English theme song to also be used as an intro in the Italian dub.
+* As this was the first season not produced for a Mediaset network in Italy, this was also the first time that the Italian dub translated an English opening into Italian rather than using a specially-made intro sequence, as with Mediaset.
 ** This is also the first time an Italian opening theme is not sung by [[Cristina D'Avena]] and [[Giorgio Vanni]].
 * On {{wp|Cartoon Network}} India, this song was mistakenly used instead of the Hindi dubbed one, ''{{tt|हम बनेंगे हीरोस|Hum Banéngé Heroes}}''. This error was continued from ''[[DP075|Our Cup Runneth Over!]]'' until ''[[DP082|Cream of the Croagunk Crop!]]''.
-* This is the first time the Hindi, Tamil and Telugu versions used an original instrumental music for this song in the Disney India dubs, rather than dubbing over the instrumental used in the English version.
