You mention that you are “planning” to rescore Snyder’s films using past Superman and Batman themes. Is there any possibility you won’t do this? I love both their classic themes but they just do not fit Snyder’s molds for these characters in his films.
I don’t think it would be a popular choice as you stated.
However, each to their own as this is YOUR own personal edit. Just wanted to say I would be interested if this change wasn’t made that’s all.
I’m planning on making edits of Wonder Woman, Wonder Woman 1984, Aquaman, Man of Steel, Batman V Superman and Justice League.
For the Superman’s ones, do you plan to make them less dark and more colorful maybe?
More colorful. I will say upfront that my plans and intentions for Zack Snyder’s films are going to be extremely unpopular with many people. I’m planning on re-scoring and restoring John Williams’ Superman theme and Danny Elfman’s Batman theme.
I’ve already done edits of Superman, Superman II and Superman Returns already, if you’d like to check them out.
I hate to say this, but I’m not going back on my decision. I just find Hans Zimmer and Junkie XL’s scores to be depressing, forgettable and droning with the wallpaper sound most films released today have.
Hans Zimmer’s Superman theme, for what it is, is a good fine theme, but to me, it’s not a good and appropriate Superman theme. I have never liked Junkie XL’s Batman theme, as it felt like getting smacked upside the head with a keyboard. Very loud and headache inducing.
I’m sorry that some will not like my thoughts on the music and why I plan on replacing it, however, I am not the first to do this. Agent 9’s edit of Man of Steel, which will play a heavy influence on these projects, replaced Zimmer’s work with John Williams’ masterpiece of a score, and his project won Favorite Edit of the Month on fanedit.org.
