In a move thatâs not entirely surprising, composer Hans Zimmer will be handling the score for director Zack Snyderâs Superman reboot Man of Steel. Zimmerâs frequent collaborator Christopher Nolan is producing Man of Steel, and this news is yet another sign that the exiting shepherd of the Batman franchise is intricately involved in the reimaging of Supes. This marks the first Snyder film that wonât be composed by Tyler Bates, but Iâm not exactly broken up about it.Varietyâs report doesnât mention whether Zimmer will pay homage to John Williamsâ original Superman theme or not, but I would wager no. John Ottoman already did as much with Bryan Singerâs Superman Returns, and Zimmer will likely want to craft a sound that fits Snyderâs iteration of the character. Judging by the rather dark title treatment and set photos weâve seen (as well as Nolanâs involvement), Man of Steel will be more Batman Begins than Superman Returns. If youâre a big Zimmer fan, check out Steveâs video interview with the composer in which he shows Steve around his studio. Hit the jump to sample some of Zimmerâs more memorable works.
