- Because this was so popular on my previous channel. I'll upload this back up. Instead of the normal intro, I used the Planet Krypton intro for this. Much better in my opinion.
Music composed by John Williams.

"They can be a great people, Kal-el, they wish to be. They only lack the light to show the way. For that reason, their capacity for good, I have sent them you. My only son."
Sounds like Jesus
@@juni5430 in fact that's the sense, in Man of Steel are several subtle references to the figure of Jesus. I guess they always had the idea to make a parallel between Kal El and Jesus
@@ohernik The Superheroes are often reflections of the prophets in the Bible. There is often a question about who is the true father, overcoming doubt and sin. Ultimate glory. That sort of thing.
Love that line
@@juni5430 It is similar to Jesus. Only difference is that Superman doesn't torture people forever if they don't believe in him.
This song gives me strength, both physically and mentally. I will cherish it always.
me too!
So does your mom.
and lets not forget your mom either
Amen 🙏
1000% mate
This made me cry after not having heard it for a long time.
You cried because that's the power of John Williams score, something that the new films fail to do to me.
Listen to it again mate
Me too. The Krypton theme from John Williams is so powerful, I cry every time I hear it.
I cry everytime so emotional.
My son was in his high school band, before each football game, the entire band would make a circle at mid field and play the Krypton Theme. Gave me goosebumps, awesome piece of music...
THATS PRETTY KOOL! AWESOME STORY
Christopher Reeves. Superman FOREVERRR!!!
The beginning of this music can change your entire day around. Turn it from bad to good
This song is one of a kind, there will never be another like it. This song not only inspires us, it makes us believe that man can fly...RIP Christopher Reeve the one and only true Superman
Chris Reeve is the *REAL* Superman.
Henry Cavill somehow falls short
Terence Stamp is the *REAL* General Zod.
Michael Shannon is Private ranked Zod
Lies again? Most Traded Currency USD
Why is the Krypton theme so damn good?
It moves through me
Because a bad ass conductor named John Williams created it.
It represents the magnificence of a long forgotten civilization that once thrived before its downfall. The pinnacle of supreme intelligence of a people whose shortsightedness led them to utter destruction. One can say that, even their own collective agreements and disagreements is synonymous to our own here on earth. No one is infallible from death. Not even Kal-el.
My only complaint it is too short. Even so, it communicates the central idea of the story. A mighty civilization, far more advanced than any on earth. Now fallen, lost, forever 💔
It's amazing,right?Wow.Unbeatable.
I dedicate this masterpiece to my fellow brothers and sisters whom are going through depression. May we rise again.
The most remarkable and powerful scene in Superman, is when he flies changing the rotation of the Planet, to bring his love back.. I watched the original movie more than 6 times when I was a kid.. I had a friend who worked at the theater as a Cleaner, and he allowed us to get inside the theater for free.. (Thank you, my friend in Heaven).. and thank you, Superman.. you are incredible..
I LOVE JOHN WILLIAMS. Seriously. Damn near every movie the man scores has a piece like this, something so perfectly iconic that you're certain to remember it even decades down the road.
John Williams is The Superman of Orchestra
The Theme for all of humanity.
We are, all of us, a collective and living embodiment of this piece of music, capable of achieving such wonderful things if we simply work together.
This is bravery, justice, love, perseverance, loss and hope, all packaged into one incredible sonic opus. The best part of the Human Race ever put to music.
A truly noble sentiment, sir !
Sadly, greed, violence and stupidity are baked into human DNA 😢
It should be a law that any onscreen depiction of Superman *MUST* use this original theme from John Williams!
and that's why zack snyder's williams-less man of steel will always be a crapfest.
Meh. Good theme, especially for its time. Could be hinted in future DC films but I think the Man of Steel theme represents a modern Superman.
+Supermovies it's either superman or it isn't. If this theme doesn't fit him, it isn't Superman.
What we have now is batman dressed up like superman. There no hope in this guy. My hope is that Affleck can fix things now that he's executive producer. Snyder has basically been neutered.
thank you, you took the words right out of my mouth. i believe affleck can change things, i for one cannot wait to see his stand-alone batman film.
wilton carter he's executive producer of Justice League now, too. He has more power than Snyder, and can veto anything he does. He also has full control over post production.
What Snyder has done to Superman is as bad as what X-Men Origins Wolverine did to Deadpool.
goodbye my son. may our hopes and dreams travel with you
The effects are a bit dated now, but somehow, Chris Reeves wasn't an actor on a screen playing superman. He WAS Superman.
The other movies just don't cut it.
Imagine if Chris was still with us and played Kingdom Come Supes.....damn...how badass it wouldve been
There's nothing like the definitive Superman version and this is it
If the expression "beacon of hope" could be described as a song.
The symbol of the House of El means "Hope". Embodied within that hope is the fundamental belief the potential of every person to be a force for good. That's what you can bring them Kal. Immortality at its finest. It made Christopher Reeve immortal.
the best superman theme ever!!!!!! it should be used on all supermen to come in the future!!
In twenty years, no one will remember Hans Zimmer's Superman theme. Just like no one really remembers his Dark Knight music. Hell I saw the movie a week ago and I already forget the music. I like Hans Zimmer; but, John Williams makes iconic themes. Thirty-five years later and people can instantly recognize William's Superman themes. Just as they can instantly recognize Star Wars and Indiana Jones. Recognizing that does not make us "nostalgia dorks".
this gives “the indomitable human spirit overcoming struggle only to press onward onto victory vibes” and I love it
I'm sure you meant "indomitable", not "abdominal", lol
@@ernesthill4017 aw fuck… I see what you mean. I’ll fix that comment. Thanks
"You will believe a man can fly" was the tag line for the 1978 film.
Of course, its was all SFX, but in a spiritual sense, it was absolutely true 👍 😊❤
They should use the Krypton Intro for the new Superman stuff. It's really excellent.
Man, This gets me so pumped up as I am leaving out my front door and getting ready to face the challenges of my day!👍
God bless America 🇺🇸
You'll travel far, my little Kal-El, but we will never leave you. Even in the face of our death.
You will make my strength your own. You will see my life through your eyes, as your life will be seen through mine.
The son becomes the father, and the father, the son.
They can be a great people Kal-El, if they they wish to be. They only lack the light to show the way.
For this reason above all: their capacity for good; I have sent them you, my only son.
the above lines from Donner are incredible.
Zack Snyder how come your script and direction for MoS fall so short?
+walker ten because he doesn't do dialogue. Remember. His superman flew here in a penis.
Jesus Christ The beginning of this song Planet krypton just Empathises John Williams Genius as an Epic composer from beginning to End. I fucking love it. It Makes me feel massive in this world, Like the Galaxies and stars are in my bound and at every mans Reach. It makes the universe and Life seem that little bit more Gigantic and beautifully wonderful and mysterious if you know what I mean. John Williams is defiantly one of the best musical composer for films of are generation I think. I believe. And the beginning of this score Makes superman and john William seem Like There GODS!! Its So God-Damn Epic. Its one of the many of reason on why I believe humans have souls xD I mean how can we create such fucking brilliance as the like of this. Its wonderful and I think I just came in my pants from all the Epicnes .
Williams ripped off Strauss for this, like he ripped off practically everything he wrote from the classical composers. There's ample proof of this on "John Williams Plagiarism" videos on RUclips
PeterSellers22 All music is recombining what the composer has previously heard. Everything mankind has done has always been on the shoulders of the people before them. John Williams job as a movie composer is to assemble music that compliments if not enhances the move you are watching and that he has done an amazing job of his whole life.. so stuff that in your hat....
+PeterSellers22 Not quite, John Williams clearly has studies and it is absolutely normal. I mean, everyone has their favourites. In every aspect.
+Alberto Cid Agree but in this case it borrows way too much from Also Sprach Zarathustra for it not to be noticed.
Maybe he did it because of the Übermensch thing. It was a good way to make the link between them. I think.
:29 to 1:24 is a call to greatness! Wish it would just continue! Takes you into the Stratosphere!
Also spracht Zarathustra ;-) (the song)
This is so ridiculously good, such a hit by John Williams. Both the krypton theme and main theme. I'm not even that much into Superman but I always choke up humming along this tune whenever I randomly find my way back to it. It really does lift the spirit.
It's impossible to feel depressed listening to such magical, magnificent, uplifting music ☮💫🎆⚡🇺🇲🥲
Best superhero theme song or any movie theme ever hands down!
This theme was written by John Williams for the first Superman film in 1978.
'Even though you've been raised as a human being, your not one of them"
Superman forever
John Williams is the best!! They should really be using this theme in the new Superman movie. There's no way this composition can be surpassed.
I think it was john Williams who did this music .. he is awesome. what a brilliant piece of music. Star Wars, Jaws and Superman, A true Musical legend..
The first part is the theme of Krypton. There is a sense of singular nobility in this arrangement that is simply indescribable. The proud, powerful culture of Krypton at its highest, just before its demise. The next part is Superman’s theme, the glorious, nobile, last son of Krypton who sets a prime example that all of Krypton would be proud of Kal El whilst inspiring billions of Earthlings to emulate the best version of themselves for truth & justice.
The one and only !!!
I can't believe this isn't in the new movie. Would've fit soo much as an ending song or so. Damn...
Theme of Krypton The Greatest sound of all
the intro into the main theme is perfect
@Smokey Mcb Perfection!
@Smokey Mcb it would have been great if those words were shown on the screen at the start on this you tube post.
My pleasure.
one of the best themes ever.anyone who says this old or beyond it's time needs to wake up.point being when you hear this theme do you think batman? spiderman? no you think superman,thats how good this theme is,thats why it's so timeless.some of you will be posting next how good simon cowell is in spotting long term talent acts!!!!!!
I feel like kal when I hear this
I think when you say campy, you mean grandiose. This theme is epic, it has a grand scope & sense of importance. Its balances the light playful side of the comic book character, & the larger than life performance of Christopher Reeve (RIP). John Williams has done some of the greatest themes in the history of adventure films including Star Wars & Indiana Jones.
Imagine if they changed the classic Star Wars theme for the new film. They wouldnt because its classic, and so is the theme for Superman.
yeah, usually as he grows up he absorbs more energy from the Sun and gets stronger. That's really why general Zod shouldn't be a problem, Superman has a huge head start on the solar energy. That logic doesn't make for a good movie though. Eval999 never said how old Supe was when he was bruised by bullets.
Jor-El was Kal-El's father. Jar-El was Jar Jar Binks' Kryptonian cousin, the one they never talked about.
Gots to love this music!!!!!!!!
Epic. Thank you John Williams.
Such an iconic superhero theme gives you feeling of being like Superman.
This is awesome. I saw a John Williams medley video once where they did the Superman theme with the Krypton intro and it gave me a straight up nerdgasm. Thanks so much for posting this.
john williams has a imperial march from star wars , supermans march and of course Indiana jones raiders march
Thank you! I have been looking for this particular version for 30+ years! THANK YOU! 👏👍
I forgot the Krypton-intro existed. Thanks for reminding me of Williams' divinity (though on second thoughts is sounds an awful lot like "Also sprach Zarathustra")
This rendition is far better than when Mr. Wiiliams conducted it with the London Philharmonic in that the rhythmic texture is treated in a far more marcato vein; henceforth giving the listening experience more cohesion to the musically uneducated populous of movie goers. In addition, please notice that "Krypton" is treated with far more metronomic precision and less of a "quasi" feel making the phrase easier to detect; the work is in quadruple/simple with the trumpet solo entering on beat 3 of the phrase, not beat 1. This sets the rest of the brass to also enter on beat 3 of the phrase as well. Great craft in writing on Mr. Williams behalf.
In plain English what are you trying to say, please?
clgreene100 Translation: John Williams done good! :-)
Yep :)
the chills man the chills
otomatone+ storm drain echo= this!
yes i aced this song on a otomatone techno with the help of a storm drain echo
I found this song several years ago. Found it again!
Haven't seen the new movie. Can't have Superman without this.....
1:24
Nostalgia Critic: MAN OF STEEL SUCKS!
Angry Joe: Man of Steel is freakin' awesome and you know it!
I give Man of Steel 50/50
He 's awesom but a little bit over poverd
Joey Bonkers Meh. I think it was poorly written and a bit of a mess, but not the worst thing ever. 6/10.
+Spike Prime 7/10
Hrittik Azad 5/10
He's baaaaack. 😁
Happy birthday, John Williams! Thank you for all of your inspiring music. It would have been enough if you had written the music in and of itself, because you are an inspiration in and of yourself, but you have also written the music for the most inspirational character who has time and time again lifted me up and allowed me to fly above all of my self-doubts. I would not be the man I am today if it wasn't for you.
Masterpiece
This is a Super Musical Theme.👊💪👏👌👍🖖
yes that's why age is a vital piece of information the OP left out.
Superman can't be without this.
I wake up to this every morning.
better++ than the newer versions!
"Truth, justice & the American way"
Goodbye Krypton
The only bad thing about the Planet Krypton intro is that so few orchestras play it live. I only found two performances on youtube.
Why is that??? And where can more be found?
John Williams is more than Superman,he is God
When richard donner first heard the theme, he jumped inside the recording session and they had to re record again. 😅
All of a sudden I feel like running!!!
lol- I just meant his suit doesn't have to be armor- Superman's skin is tougher than any armor. Of course he needs a suit. Actually, I think I understand your question. In the older comic books (40s and 50s) Superman's costume was made by Martha Kent from his baby blankets in the spaceship, so they were as indestructible as he was. In the newer (80s to now)comics, he has an "aura" that protects his clothes, and whomever he carries.
Since when the hell did power inherently equal a good or bad character? A great writer will take a character's power and build a story that utilized that power yet STILL made it a challenge. Heck, great writers have done that for decades already. I don't see them holding back Silver Surfer's or Thor's or the Hulk's power, yet they still get good stories where they have to sweat a little.
Well done... this is the version I've been looking for.
The music carries the movie. Without the music, people may have noticed how bad the movie was, not that it was that bad. John Williams was one of the greatest composers of the 20th Century.
this is fantastic! thanks for posting!
Simply superb!
the superman march is the most iconic theme of all time
I also like the new man of steel theme it won't be as great as the original but its still cool
Just imagine it: 4th quarter Georgia whupping up on whatever team decided to play them by over 30 points.
Bruce quit because he was hunted down more viciously than ever, I assume he was wounded very badly during that fall at the end of TDK too. After the Dent Act there was no more organized crime. When Daggett brought Bane (the first legimitate threat in 8 years) to Gotham Bruce was ready for action The Nolan Batman trilogy was a critical and box office success part of it was because of the casting, more specifically Michael Caine.
I'll admit, the answer is 'no' to those first 3 items.
however i'm in total agreement to your last sentence. I'm going to see the new movie anyway, I just hope not to be disappointed
I hope they have a little bit of these themes in the new film- I know it's a relaunch, but I grew up with this, if I could just hear a little, I'd love it.
oh, I'm sure those suits are better made today.Michael Chiklis said that his suit for the "Thing" was very different for the second movie (Fantastic Four).
“They can be a great people, Kal-El; they wish to be. They only lack the light to show the way. For this reason above all, their capacity for good, I have sent them you... my only son.“
Christopher Reeve eterno
Wait, why would you put a Man of Steel Superman picture onto a soundtrack from the original Superman? They have nothing in common. I'm not even convinced the main character of Man of Steel even WAS Superman... >.>
I agree. The Man of Steel theme (An Ideal of Hope) is pretty good in it's own right.
Why does Superman's suit look like armor? Superman doesn't need armor, he's fucking Superman!
good theme to get up to for a morning workout
For Christopher Reeves
My morning alarm clock
While I do agree that it is epic, he does have a point. They didn't use this theme in the new one because its a totally different movie then the Christopher Reeve (RIP) movies. This one fit the Donner movies because they were lighthearted and fun. The new one is a complete reboot with a more serious and dark undertone (or overtone, however you look at it.) I like both. I think they convey the tone of each movie right. This one is awe-inspiring while the new one is hope inspiring. My 2 cents lol
They're always called "snobs" when they don't like something popular. Truth is, critics like movies just as much as anyone else. They have studied elements that are not noticed by general audiences, so their distaste for something might be more founded on technical details than superficial ones.
And, don't think all critics are snobs that don't like popular movies. Mark Kermode likes the Twilight Saga, Roger Ebert thought The Mummy 3 was the best in the franchise.
Then again... very 80s.
Rick, couldn't agree more -not having the John Williams theme leaves a huge part of any Superman film out. Still, 'Man of Steel' was meant to be a reboot for the character, sort of what Nolan's 'Batman Begins' did for the Caped Crusader. So can you blame Zac Synder for leaving the theme out?
This song inspires me!
Absolute genius, genius I say. Smh
Keep in mind that Superman has to put up with villains who are comparable with him in terms of strength on a regular basis (Darkseid and Mongul, for example) and many of them are armed with more powerful weapons than those found on Earth. I'd imagine that Jar-El considered the possibility that his son might come into conflict with other aliens, even on our oblivious little planet. General Zod in particular was one of his main concerns.
This is great
This is good! Definitely a thumb up!
