In reply to Richard Knudsen. Thanks, Richard! Yes, I find the link compelling despite the lack of rhythmic similarity between the two. This motion of climbing up the scale, going 5-6-7-8, is not all that common, so it stands out to me when used, and since it's a prominent part of Williams' theme as well, I hear the connection quite strongly.

What a phenomenal find that is the link between Williams’s and Zimmer’s Superman scores; that alone was worth the entire read. Thank you for increasing my appreciation of a criminally underrated score!

Wow, what a brilliant write-up. As always, there is so much more to Hans’ work than what you pick up on the first listen. I think Man of Steel is a terrific and well-thought-out soundtrack, but you actually put into words WHY I like it so much. Great job!

A friend directed me here and I am glad I visited 🙂
Thank you for all your hard work as my students will love your site for studying film music.

Just for fun, I drew up a plan to play the ‘Ideal of Hope’ theme on iPads here: http://www.slideshare.net/wrightstuffmusic/ideal-of-hope-ios-task

Thanks again.

In reply to Mark Richards.

For the record, if you do a posting on Inception (and if this is even important to you): the theme for Robert Fischer (album track 528491; many variations in the film) and the so-called “Kick It” theme (One Simple Idea on the album) were actually composed by Lorne Balfe, not Hans Zimmer. I’m just saying so that if you do an Inception post, you don’t make reference to “X Zimmer theme”, which Zimmer didn’t actually write. 😉
