Man of Steel

[The Dark Knight]

Thanks for the feedback. Going on that, Birthright and For All Seasons interest me.

Some of the ones I've been looking at are:

Red Son
All Star Superman
Lex Luthor: Man of Steel

I won't be wearing a Superman shirt to my screening, but I really get the impression I'll be leaving the cinema wanting to buy one.

I never did see the Anchorman is it good? 

Never actually saw it because Will Ferrell is the Jar Jar Binks of any movie he appears in.

And well they should.

Red Son is an Elseworlds story that I can't recommend highly enough. Batman shows up in it at one point. Brief but memorable. AS Superman typifies the aspirational version of the character that I've fallen in love with over the past couple of years.

I think Secret Origin, Byrne's Man of Steel and Red Son will be the biggest influences on the movie.

There are two versions of the first Anchorman movie - The Legend of Ron Burgundy and Wake Up, Ron Burgundy: The Adventure Continues. I recommend the former for a good laugh - but stay the hell away from the latter because it is an abomination.

By the way - I jut don't care for Hans Zimmer in general. Outside his work on The Lion King and Pirates, I find his film work repetitive, unmemorable, and not much more than a bland auditory wallpaper.

Byrne's Man of Steel was the very first Superman comic I ever read.

The first Superman comic I remember reading was that Batman crossover Speeding Bullets. Which I still think is worthwhile. It seems Superman thrives in one-shot type situations, ala Red Son. All Star Superman could be classed as an one-shot as well given the ending.

What I like about All Star Superman, going off the synopsis, is they embrace Superman's power all the way - but it also is his weakness here. His power has become too much and he's dying as a result. I feel this one could be my favourite once I get stuck into it.

I don't necessarily agree with you about Zimmer, but I cannot stand the soundtrack he made for the first two Nolan Batman movies. They were either bland as you said, or were a terrible abuse to the ears (that piss-poor excuse of a Joker theme?  ). But I thought he redeemed himself when he made the music for the third one.
