John William’s version of Superman is so iconic that until I saw the third trailer for the film it was hard to envision how anything else could measure up. However, listening to these previews I liked what I’ve heard so far. I am looking forward to hearing Zimmer’s Man of Steel soundtrack in its entirety. Zimmer’s soundtrack is definitely a more modern, electronic sound, which film score/soundtrack fans have come to expect from him, in contrast to the triumphal orchestral fanfare of John Williams’s Superman scores. It will be an interesting contrast for those who enjoy both types. I have to admit, when I heard Zimmer’s Sent Here For A Reason, track number three which is also heard in the third trailer, I was finally on board. It is triumphant, grand and emotional. It says to me: Hero.
