    All three are good, but William's score always makes me feel like I could take the Earth off it's axis if I ever wanted to.

    Nothing beats the iconic John Williams theme.

    I'm going to be the outlier here.

    John Williams is definitely the most iconic, but if you're asking which I think is best it's a tie between "What Are You Going To Do When You're Not Saving The World" and "Flight" by Hans Zimmer.

    I love the TAS theme, especially when it's being played with the intro. It meshes perfectly. Shirley Walker was one of the best parts of the DCAU.

    I like Zimmer's the best. I feel like it captures Superman's legendary status on an incredible, primal level. Williams' is more famous, obviously, but I think it's time for a change. The TAS was incredible to the point of being underrated, though...

    You can't beat John Williams. Perfectly embodies the hope and optimism of the character.

    TaS for me, can't decide between MoS or the Original though.

    I like both the movie versions, but giving it to the classic... Hard choice!

    The MOS version feels like it was meant to capture the essance of Clark's legendary journey to becoming Superman: Epic, impossible, righteous, and elevating.

    But the original is more in line with the original concept of Superman himself: Sensational, incumbent , Uplifting, and inspirational.

    Both songs are great, but seem to have different purposes, one is about becoming Superman, the other is about being Superman.

    At least that's how I see it.
