However, when Superman heard “The Passenger” his mind immediately went to the version that stuck with him; Siouxsie’s iteration from 1987’s Through The Looking Glass. The significant takeaway here: Superman’s secret favorite band is Siouxsie And The Banshees. We can now speculate that if Superman had more time to focus on music, he’d take a deep dive into post-punk and discover he’s actually a massive goth, which also explains why Batman is his best friend.

Director Zack Snyder's 2013 reboot of the series, Man of Steel, is scored by Hans Zimmer, and is the first Superman film not to use any of Williams' themes.Director Zack Snyder's 2013 reboot of the series, Man of Steel, is scored by Hans Zimmer, and is the first Superman film not to use any of Williams' themes.

Smallville, starring Tom Welling, has a vocal, rock-oriented main theme rather than a traditional "heroic" one. Written by band Remy Zero, the song takes the name "Save Me", from its chorus.

The most expensive film made up to that point, with a budget of $55 million, Superman was released in December 1978 to critical and financial success; its worldwide box office earnings of $300 million made it the second-highest-grossing release of the year. It received praise for Reeve's performance, and was nominated for three Academy Awards, including Best Film Editing, Best Music (Original Score), and Best Sound, and received a Special Achievement Academy Award for Visual Effects.

One of the big complaints about Man of Steel and Batman v Superman is that they were far too serious in tone. There is plenty of room for levity in a Superman story; not everything has to be weighed down by the relevance and importance of being such an important fictional character. With that being said, if you go too far into lighthearted stories, you end up with "Super-Disco Fever" from Superman Family #196. Even thought Clark Kent is supposed to be a nerdy reporter, he inexplicably has a fan club of hot young women. They drag him into a local disco, and force him to judge a "Dance Like John Travolta" competition. As this is happening, Clark uses his X-Ray vision to spot a staff member from a rival disco planting bombs beneath the dance floor. The disco wars had gotten so harsh, only terrorism and mass-killings could determine who truly has Night Fever.

They see Superman doing his thing, toeing the line, let them make assumptions. They don't know Clark Kent goes on marathon dancing jags with his gorgeous wife, or that he plays hockey on the Moon, or that he has every metallica CD.
