Man of Steel is the soundtrack to the film of the same name. It was released on June 11, 2013. The exclusive deluxe edition of the album contains six bonus tracks, entitled "Are You Listening, Clark?", "General Zod", "You Led Us Here", "This Is Madness!", "Earth" and "Arcade".
Hans Zimmer initially denied popular rumours that he would be composing the film's soundtrack. However, in June 2012, it was confirmed that Zimmer would in fact be writing the film's musical score. To completely distinguish Man of Steel from the previous films, the iconic "Superman March" by John Williams is not heard. An unofficial rip of the musical score from the third trailer, entitled "An Ideal of Hope" was revealed to be a cut down version of the track "What Are You Going to Do When You Are Not Saving the World?", which was released on April 19, 2013. The track was unable to be played in some countries due to copyright infringement. In late April 2013, the official track listing of the two-disc deluxe edition was revealed.
Popular reception to the score was positive and the album rose to #4 on iTunes during the first week of its release. Critical reception for the score, however, has been mixed. The soundtrack opened at number 9 on the Billboard 200 with 32,000 copies sold.
