The Man of Steel teaser was released online after being shown at The Dark Knight Rises screenings this past weekend. The eerie teaser caused an uproar from fans as it borrows an unmistakable piece of movie magic from the Lord of the Rings films, the music. Man of Steel is being composed by Hans Zimmer whose work includes Sherlock Holmes, The Dark Knight, The Da Vinci Code and countless others, yet Warner Brothers decided to use the unique sound of composer Howard Shore in the teaser. While trailers frequently use non-original music, rarely do they borrow from such a specific theme. It is very hard to disassociate Howard Shore’s music from the Lord of the Rings. The Man of Steel trailer therefore while beautifully shot, came off as a farce. The trailer was perfect, as long as you had your hands over your ears. It was not the lack of original music that was problematic, but the use of such a specific and beloved theme. Watch the teaser below and let us know your take in the comments.
