Yes, I know. That's what's confusing me if it is another reboot.The views expressed in this post are entirely my own and do not reflect the opinions of maintitles.net, or for that matter, anyone else. http://www.racksandtags.com/falkirkbairn -

Ah didn't know that, well whatever the case may be, Snyder seems an able guy.
But no way will he find a composer to top that score. Even hiring Williams won't bring back the magic I'm afraid."considering I've seen an enormous debate here about The Amazing Spider-Man and the ones who love it, and the ones who hate it, I feel myself obliged to say: TASTE DIFFERS, DEAL WITH IT" - Thomas G. -

Hear, hear. Maybe Snyder will opt for a better composer for his second superhero outing, but odds are in either Hirschfelder or Bates' favor.

Nope. While everyone gets a raging boner every time Nolan touches something I don't. I do like his Batman films but for me there is absolutely no beating the original Superman. These reboots are about as boring as 3D technology. And with Nolan producing and Snyder directing I have a bad feeling that we are going to be stuck with another lack luster score. Yes, I'm being pessimistic but seriously... how do you beat THIS!
And even though Brian Singer's Superman Returns was pants at least he understood the power of the original main credits and Williams title theme.

Erik, it can't be beat! FACT! ( though I know you don't need telling that )
Nolan will take a different direction and I'll keep an open mind on it, personally I don't care much for a "new" Superman film.On Friday I ate a lot of dust and appeared orange near the end of the day ~ Bregt -

One of the all time best main title sequences, both from a musical and visual standpoint. Goosebumps are present all the way through. I just love those huge letters wooshing by, mixed with that awesome sound effect and the march accentuating the greatness of the movie that is to come."considering I've seen an enormous debate here about The Amazing Spider-Man and the ones who love it, and the ones who hate it, I feel myself obliged to say: TASTE DIFFERS, DEAL WITH IT" - Thomas G. -

I've been listening to this theme a lot today, and my only worry is that the film will end up with an un-melodic score that can't express a hint of the grandeur of the character. I also fear that the goodness of the character will be ruined somehow. Do you guys think Znyder will be able to capture the purity and true heart of the character? Looking at Znyder's track record, I'm not sure if he can. It will certainly be something different. -

Well, Snyder said that he's a fan of Superman so he could do it. Still, I'm sure that the Superman film is going to be really different. Also, I hope he can bring a new composer. Though I think it's time that Bates can finally have his chance to make a score which makes everybody stop bashing him. Also, cues from Watchmen like Rescue Mission and Silk Spectre had a very superhero sound for the few scenes of the movie which the Watchmen we're superheroes. -

Exactly. Though we still have to watch how this develops until we can know who's going to make the score. The only thing I hope it's that Zimmer doesn't do it, he had Batman. -

Yeah. I mean I liked (the second one) though is not one of my favorites, but I wish that someone else can make the score. -

Snyder will definitely go for Bates, the question is whether the producers will want to take that gamble. I'm sure they will want to have another BIG NAME composer attached to it instead. I just hope that whoever it will become that he/she pays tribute to the music, like Ottman did with Superman Returns. So many theme statements and hints to the original music of Williams, that's the way to do it.
As for the film, I'm a big fan of Snyder so I hope he delivers.
Can't wait for SuckerPunch, it looks totally awesomewaaaaaahhhhhhhh!!! Where's my nut? arrrghhhhhhh -

But, here's the thing. It's a reboot. It's a new movie which it takes place in a universe where Richard Donner's Superman doesn't exist. If the plot is going to be new, then why the music doesn't? How do we know if this new story needs another kind of music or something else? Besides, whoever is going to make the score, it's going to be compared to Williams's original works like Ottman, Doyle, Hooper and Desplat. And obviously, that composer is going to lose. -

well, if it's a reboot, then the composer has to work his way up to the themes of the film. Meaning then he has to compose something so grand that in the end they will be known as the themes of Superman, like John williams did with Anakin's theme in The Phantom Menace", stating the final notes of The Imperial March at the end of that lovely theme.waaaaaahhhhhhhh!!!
