That's the question boys and girls. Why can't composers and directors get over the fact that St. Johnny Williams composed the score for the first film in the series and, when a new composer comes to the series, allow him to write his own themes and NOT utilize Williams'. So many opportunities have been wasted for composers to try their hand at composing an original theme for Superman simply because Williams scored the first one. There's really no point for it because, in the end, it's just a composer utilizing another artist's work, but it's not the original artist at work no matter how much people may want. Case in point: this score has been front page news at jwfan.com for ages now. Newsflash! It wasn't composed by him.

I'm just tired of his themes being perpetually reused for Superman, as if it's humanly impossible to exceed them so no one should even try. It's pretty stupid.
