Re: The Man of Steel
Fair play to Mr. Zimmer for not wanting to attempt to rewrite a masterpiece. I still believe he could have done a great job, but don't mind if they stick to the original theme at the end of the day.

Re: The Man of Steel
Yeah, BB and TDK is just plain boring, unpersonal and insubstancial.
Danny Elfman
He did a great job with Tim Burton's Batman, it's pretty iconic unlike Begins and TDK

Re: The Man of Steel
Danny Elfman and the Superman score? No thanks. While I agree that his Batman theme and score is more iconic and somewhat better than Zimmer's TDK and Begins work, Zimmer ain't no slouch either. Begins and TDK is just fine.
That said, maybe Elfman would do a good job, but so could Zimmer. But this isn't their department, this is pure John Williams here.

Re: The Man of Steel
I'm Glad that so far the the Superman Theme by williams may still be used.
I mean if god forbid they ever reboot indiana jones i wouldn't want that theme to be discarded, the way they use the same 007 theme for every movie is how they should treat superman movies imo!

I'd be wary of the Vancouver news until it's confirmed, there's been a lot of rumors relayed as facts.

Re: The Man of Steel
Absolutly, great shot there, you posted, man.
Just listened to Tron: Legacy and I have to say (I guess people will call me crazy), that the main melody, like heard in "Overture", is goddamn heroic and would do great as a theme...or something very similar like that.
It has power, heroism, hope and a little drama in it too.

Indeed. At first I wasn't impressed with the Tron soundtrack, but after repeated listening I now love it, and really think Daft Punk did a great job. I think my initial impression was based off an expectation of a straight technofest soundtrack.

LOVE the Tron soundtrack. I didn't dig the movie so much (except for the 1st act), but the soundtrack is epic!!! I just wish on the CD the tracks were longer. Right when I am getting into them, the track ends!

yes I feel the same way. Especially the "Derezzed" track that is in the videos and stuff. That's a great tune, but way too short.

I don't know if it's been posted before. If so, I apologize for posting it again...
The following is the storyline of what might have been if producers had not succumbed to the sweet ring of the money-machine and let Singer do his Man of Steel. There are a few things I don't like, but all in all, I think it could have been pretty decent...
Make up your own mind...

"Zack Snyder is just months away before he goes into production of the Chris Nolan produced The Man of Steel, A.K.A. Superman Begins or Superman Rises or was it Superman Returns Again? But before Zack and Chris came aboard Bryan Singer did have a sequel planned for his Superman
Returns. So even though his final vision for his Superman Saga will never be seen we can tell you what a planned storyline was going to be.
It's actually a shame that fans have not yet seen the complete version of Superman Returns and one would hope that WB would one day release the complete film on Blu-Ray.
From larger sub-plots including Kal Penn's character Stanford manipulating Superman's return to Krypton, his arrival to Krypton and his return back to earth. That complete movie adds another 30 minutes plus to the film and for fanboys like me, we would watch it. Actually I did see that movie but that's for another article.
Some of our readers might not be up to speed on the bigger story of Superman Returns, so we will shed some light where we can.
So what did Bryan and his writers have in mind for the sequel? Let me be clear, Singer never had a chance to get his script completed, there was a couple different outlines that were done during the production of Superman Returns but the one we are going to talk about in this article was the one that most likely was going to get a full script treatment.
Superman: The Man of Steel
TMS started just a few years after the incidents that we saw in Superman Returns. Kal-El is doing what Superman does best, Lois Lane is raising her kid Jason, who of course is Superman's child and the world is getting use to having Superman back.
Now there are storyline threads that go back to Superman Returns, one is the on going plot of Superman's original reason of going back to Krypton. He has always wondered if he truly is the last Son of Krypton.
Remember new Krypton that Lex created with crystals he stole from the Fortress of Solitude and Kryptonite that Supes launched into to space that nearly killed him?
So new Krypton continues to grow in space and has become an almost perfect sphere. It is now the size of a small moon.
Besides giving Humans something to admire at night, Earth new satellite has also brought some unexpected attention from a galaxy far, far away.
A massive spaceship arrives Earth's orbit, Superman flys up to meet the spacecraft and we are introduced to our out of this world visitor.
Superman quickly finds out that our visitor is also a Kryptonian survivor who has been traveling the known galaxies and was able to detect Kryptonian technology thanks to our new green/black satellite that has started to orbit the Earth.
Superman finally has found a Kryptonian buddy and starts showing him around the planet, a planet full of problems, disease, famine, crime and nations at war with each other.
Our new Kryptonian friend asks Superman why, with all his power, is he not changing the world for the better. Why is he not getting rid of famine, disease and war? Of course fans know that Superman has always been told, or better said instructed, not to interfere with Earth's development.
Superman explains that he is not allowed to interfere but his Krypto buddy tells him that with their powers they are required to "interfere," Superman disagrees.
Krypto buddy decides to take charge and starts "interfering" from day one. One of the first things that he does is get involved in a political mess that is heating up between two third world nations.
War breaks out between these two nations but before any real battle breaks our Krypto buddy interferes and lays waste to these two Armies.
He declares to the world that he will not allow anymore wars and/or the destruction of our planet. He is declaring a "War Free" planet and for those who disagree he will have to deal with them.
The major nations of the planet applaud his actions and all agree to an immediate worldwide peace. In return he promises to share technology, fight hunger, famine and disease.
The population of the world rejoices and any small pockets of resistance is quickly squashed by Krypto buddy or even the world governments.
Superman has now become a pariah, the way the world sees it, he has been here for years and had kept technology that could have saved many of the worlds problems.
Superman starts getting a bit suspicious of Krypto buddy and decides to go talk to him. He goes to his spaceship and has a revelation. This massive ship is full of hundreds if not thousands of identical bodies aboard, yep, clones of Krypto buddy, in stasis.
So Superman digs a bit more inside the "computer" system, which is familiar to him since it's Kryptonian technology just like the Fortress of Solitude.
Superman finds out that Krypto buddy is actually an artificial intelligence from Krypton that has evolved since the destruction of their world.
He escaped Krypton just like Kal-El did and his real name is Brainiac. He has been going from planet to planet, taking their technology, helping these worlds reach a relative perfection and then he destroys them and moves on.
Superman also finds out that he was actually responsible for the destruction of Krypton and tries to warn the leaders of the world but is confronted by Braniac. A massive battle ensues and Superman is about to defeat his foe but right just before Brainiac downloads his conscience into one oh his other clones.
Superman realizes that he must destroy this massive ship along with all the clones aboard. After another massive battle he is able to disable the ship, destroy the clones and the new Braniac but right before the ship is destroyed the Braniac main frame does a local search for another body that he could download in to, it has to be Kryptonian, and he finds another one on Earth, Superman's kid
Jason White.
So Brainiac uses Kryptonian technology and beams/download itself into Jason's body and this causes causes him to age and grow into a full adult but with Brainiac in complete control.
Superman realizes what just happened and rushes to confront his very own son who is now possessed by Brainiac.
Is Jason still there or is it all Brainiac? It's all Braniac and Superman knows what he has to do, he must defeat Brainiac at all costs or the planet and it's inhabitants will be doomed.
It's a battle between two gods but Superman has already been run ragged and beat down pretty bad in his previous battles of the day. Brainiac has the upper hand and Superman is trying to not to do any permanent damage to Jason's body.
Every time Brainiac is defeated in the past he simply tries to download to another clone and leaves that body completely brain dead but with no other bodies left, will Jason survive? The answer in no.
There is a Christ like metaphor here. Superman has to sacrifice his own son to save humanity.
There are still plenty of holes left in this story, we were not privy to all the details but this is the bulk of the info we received."
