But this is a new film and a new iteration of Superman. He deserves his own theme.
Personally I think it's done with, I don't think they will even have a little nod to it. Just a whole new theme and out with the old.I think it's fairly safe to say we will hear the Williams theme at some point ( if only a second or two ) but I think they’ll come up with a brand new theme as the main one.
I think it snuck it's way into every other film/show whatever is because they weren't that good and so what better than pepper spraying someone with nostalgia.I'm pretty sure the majority of film goers ( not here ) would disagree.
It makes no difference to me if it's there or not, but, it is highly recognizable TO THE PAYING public as consequential superman.
I dare say it's as important to them as is indy's theme is to him, the star wars theme, or the jaws beat.
There is a reason that theme is snuck into TV shows, films, animated films, and games. It's also played at sporting events, air shows, concerts etc.
Why is that I wonder? Because it screams heroic, it screams superman. Two chords of it can start and you instantly recognize it for what it is.
If he ( gunn ) wants to reinvent the wheel, then by all means, reinvent it.
So I guess we shall see. I look forward to whatever happens.
I was 98% sure it was going to be Murphy, but I'm still a little disappointed. I'm a big fan of his work on 28 Days Later & Sunshine, but his superhero is pretty bland. He's an upgrade from Tyler Bates, but not by much. I was hoping for someone with real melodic chops like John Powell, Howard Shore or Christopher Young.
So far this has been Gunn's biggest misstep (along with his choice of cinematographer), but I'd love to be proven wrong.
To give Murphy some credit, Adagio in D Minor is fantastic. It's great in Sunshine, but Kick-Ass and Wonder Woman 1984 also used it well. If Superman's theme is on this level I'll be plenty satisfied.
Totally. The cue was plays during a character's death, so of course it'll a little too melodramatic for Superman. It also has a bit of a trailer music kind of vibe, which is indicative of Murphy's overall career and something I'm not a big fan of, but it's nice enough.I'm not going to say this is a bad tune as it obviously isn't and I know you aren't saying "use this tune" but rather "This quality" but I want something more Bumpah Bah! Superman! Fun and happy sounding.
This music reminds me too much of MOS and how we need to take Superman like he is the most important thing ever, it makes him come across a bit pretentious when the music makes him seem so important.
I want fun and adventure and romantic sounding.
P.s I don't want John Williams theme.
I think we will have Gunns use of music in the film but ideally not as much as he did in the past.Totally.

I just wonder if Legacy's score will play more to Murphy's strengths and be more sound design-y in nature, or if he'll try to stretch himself and go fully symphonic. And how much source music is Gunn going to cram in? That's something Superman's never had before (unless you count Smallville, which I don't).
