Hans Zimmer To Score 'Man Of Steel'
Hans Zimmer has been a major force in the world of film scores for quite some time. The Oscar-winner has composed scores for the likes of 'True Romance,' 'Gladiator,' 'The Pirates of the Caribbean.' and 'Sherlock Holmes.' Recently he has become the chief architect behind the soundscapes for Christopher Nolan's films; scoring 'Batman Begins,' 'The Dark Knight,' and 'Inception.' Now it appears as if Zimmer will be lending his talents to another superhero franchise. In addition to composing the music for 'The Dark Knight Rises,' Zimmer will also be writing the score for Zack Snyder's 'Man of Steel.' The reboot of the iconic hero (played this time around by Henry Cavill) will focus on his first battle with General Zod (Michael Shannon). The film is due out next June.
Bwaaaaah! Bwaaaaah! This story is interesting for a few different reasons. First, it's not surprising that Hans Zimmer found his way over to 'Man of Steel' given that Nolan is a producer. What is surprising is that this will be the first time Snyder has not employed a score from Tyler Bates. One wonders whether the decision to hire Zimmer were really Snyder's, or an instance of outside influence. There also seems to be a growing sarcasm toward Zimmer's work these days. While his 'Inception' score was fitting to the story, the loud, jarring tones seem to have become more a joke than an indelible cinematic melody. Will that put people off to his coming aboard, or will his impressive body of work engender excitement within the fan base? In any case, I'm curious as to whether John William's signature Superman theme will turn up in Zimmer's score. Call me sentimental, but it just won't be a Superman movie for me unless we hear that heralding anthem.
What do you guys think? Is Zimmer the right choice for composer? Would it have worked with Tyler Bates? Do you think we'll hear the Superman theme?

I love his scores a lot. I wouldn't be surprised if the John Williams Superman theme showed up anywhere in it, but I would really like to hear Shirley Walkers Superman TAS score make it into a Superman movie one day.

just like star trek's iconic alexander courage opening theme, i have a feeling zimmer will use john william's iconic 8-note opening line to superman to introduce his score.

Crap...Zimmer is fine for generic dramatic background music...but he doesn't have the flair for memorable theme music. The Williams version is so iconic that humming a few bars will make most peoples' hairs stand on end, even if they have never heard it before. And I am sorry to his fans and Co-Host, but his Batman themes are...boring. Just a muted repeated thrubbing that is easily forgettable.
This is SUPERMAN, people. THE superhero. The benchmark from which all others are measured...even Batman. You MUST make this music as epic and inspiring as possible. It must herald the man-god coming to the reacue, that all things are possible, and that the sun WILL rise on a better day...and that day is coming in a flash of blue and red. When that song hits, I should be rising out of my chair, eyes wide and tearing, and screaming YES at the top of my meager lungs at the glory to come.
Zimmer...sorry, but I don't think he can do that.

Zimmer is going to have to do something truly unique from what he has done to make this work in my opinion. I say skip the Williams's theme. That is the whole point of this reboot of the franchise, to shake off all the old aspects of the cinematic Mythos. Gotta give us a little bit of brass in there but make it a score all it's own.

I personally believe that Hans Zimmer is more than capable of composing a great theme for Man of Steel. This dude has to be one the most versatile composers the film industry has ever had. I mean just look at movies like: the Batman franchise, The Lion King, Rango and The Simpsons movie. All were total different sounding themes, especially Rango, when I first saw that movie and then looked at the credits to see who did the music, I could'nt believe he was the one who had done it. With that said, do I think its gonna have the same feel as John Williams' theme? maybe not exactly but with this cat on board I don't think it'll be anything short of being bad-ass.
