My kids and their friends aren't exectly whistling Media Ventures greatest hits, that's all I'm saying.
Well I don't know your friends, but my coworkers and I play the "guess the score/composer" game at work when we're bored, and I could name more than a dozen scores (including Zimmer & Co) that have come out since 1989 that my friends, coworkers and family could whistle or guess, and quite a few of those are superhero scores... Spider-Man, Hulk, X-Men: First Class, Batman Begins, Transformers, Captain America, Iron Man, Tron: Legacy, Inception, etc.

Superman, like Batman is a comic book that can be reinvented in thousands of different ways, especially in film adaptations.
If Batman had films, TV shows and scores that we're dark, comical, gritty, operatic, epic and modern (not only for Zimmer, but also the animated Batman movie with rock music). Why can't be the same thing with Superman?
This is what Snyder, Nolan and Zimmer are trying to do with this reboot. A new take on the Superman comics, with a new vision, and a new kind of music.

I'm gonna wait and see on this one. But the film and the people already involved (not Zimmer) aren't making me confident.
Zimmer's confirmed involvement would be enough to make me trepidacious about this film. Just not a fan. Tried many a time, but nope.

After seeing Dark Knight Rises, I have to admit I am not concerned about the story or even the film....but the music. If Zimmer's Man of Steel score is anything like Dark Knight....heavy percussion and synth with not much else...then that wouldnt be good. At the same time I have to remember that Batman is a much darker character then Superman so the dark stuff and percussion fit those films. For Superman I hope the score is positive, and cheerful, (with dark elements of course) and more importantly...a good theme or two. I hope it will be epic and grand. If it isnt, at least many of us have our FSM Superman Blue Box to keep us happy.

The fact that they used LOTR and Thin Red Line music for the trailers shows that maybe the music will be emotional and intimate. Maybe.
Yes, if Zimmer channels Thin Red Line, it might work. Or if he gets Powell to help him for the action bits. Personally Powell's super hero scores far exceed Zimmer's.
Hancock still has one of the best cues written in the past decade for my money. Death and Transfiguration. Awesome.
