Why was Hans Zimmer picked for Man Of Steel?


John Williams's theme for Superman was iconic. Why couldn't he've continued the franchise?

because it's a new Superman for a new generation. Donner's Superman is long gone. it time for a change and Hans Zimmer is the one to do it. No more grandpa superman

although Man of Steel looks good, "Grandpa Superman" will always be the best. It's a classic. Besides, Christopher Reeve turned out to be a real Superman.

yeah but no one cares about your opinion. grandpa superman sucks

reply

Why should anybody care about your opinion? Grow up.
"Grandpa Superman" is revered by many as a classic. It'll be had for Man of Steel to live up to it, especially with a director as incompetent as Zack Snyder

reply

yeah thats cool but still no one cares what you think about anything. Grandpa superman still sucks and so does your opinion. which is all it is really

reply

Because DC is trying to make it the next "Dark Knight" movie.

I think you mean revered as a classic, not reviled.

Also, there was a total of four of what you refer to as the "Grandpa Superman" movies. Are you referring to the first one alone as a classic, or the first two? (I think everyone would agree that the third and fourth don't qualify.)
