Shouldn't the title of this thread be called Superman: Man Of Steel instead of just Superman?
Normally I would agree with you here. Had it not been for his score for Inception, I would not have been rooting for him.
I still hate the title Superman: The Movie
Well no **** it's a movie.
Composer's can write a score with the script only.How long does it take write a score? If TDKR comes out in July then the score should be done sometime in June. Zimmer will have about 5 months to work on Superman if the target date is still Decmeber.

Well, to be fair, at the time that the film came out, there hadn't been many big-budget, large-scale, blockbuster superhero films like we have all the time now. They needed to convey that, beyond a shadow of a doubt, this was no radio or TV show. It was something the likes of which hadn't been seen yet on the big screen.I still hate the title Superman: The Movie

I dont believe they've given it an official title, have they?
You're already too late!
you're a few years late in realizing that! Zimmer's being sounding alike for more than 10 years.
Just watch this and cringe at how much Zimmer has reused and thats not even counting the blatant Black Rain to Batman Begins/TDK theme.

here is the Black Rain theme which he reused note for note for TDK/Batman begins.
If he can reuse themes constantly, I guess for Superman, he's probably going to cherry pick from one of his older scores.
A lot of composers reuse bits of their scores, James Horner is another example, and even Williams has been guilty of it too. But Zimmer, Jablonsky etc take the word "Reuse" to a new level!
Even Elfman ripped of Bernard Hermann for the 1989 Burton Batman movie theme. Making a mockery of the word "reuse" or "inspired"!
I was shocked!
here it is, the definitive batman theme was made in the 50s, before even the campy tv show theme was made! How funny is that!
