Here are a brief introduction of the selected home-video releases.
November 28, 2006 (Press Release) --
"Superman Returns"
Director Bryan Singer's update on the Man of Steel leads a huge holiday rush of "Superman" DVD releases. "Superman Returns" follows in the spirit of the first two films that starred Christopher Reeve as the orphaned Kryptonian who becomes a crusader for truth and justice on Earth.
The new film stars Brandon Routh as Superman and his mild-mannered alter ego Clark Kent, newly returned from a quest to find the remnants of his home planet and faced with fresh twists in his romance with Lois Lane (Kate Bosworth) and his ongoing battle with Lex Luthor (Kevin Spacey).
The movie comes in a single-disc version with just the theatrical release, a two-disc set well-stocked with extras and in high-definition format on a Blu-ray disc and a combination HD DVD disc that also includes the regular DVD version.
A big batch of deleted scenes leads the DVD extras, including some extra moments between Clark and his adoptive mom (Eva Marie Saint). There's also a marathon making-of documentary.! Single-disc DVD, $28.98; two-disc DVD set, $34.99; Blu-ray disc, $34.99; HD DVD combination disc, $39.99. (Warner Bros.)
For super fans, "Superman Returns" also comes in two boxed sets with all four of the Christopher Reeve films. The "Superman: Ultimate Collector's Edition" is a 14-disc set in a metal case embossed with the Superman logo and containing Reeve's four films, "Superman Returns" and the previously unreleased cut of Richard Donner's version of "Superman II."
Donner shot his footage while he was making "Superman: The Movie," but after his falling out with the producers, Richard Lester was brought on to complete "Superman II." Donner's version restores footage of Marlon Brando as Superman's father, sequences cut from the theatrical release.
The new version of "Superman II" has an introduction and commentary from Donner and also is available separately in a single-disc release. Other features in the 14-disc set include two comprehensive documentaries on the legacy and movie history of Superman, a collection of 1940s Superman cartoons and the feature film "Superman and the Mole-Men,! " which starred George Reeves and led to his 1950s TV series
"Adventures of Superman." "Superman: The Movie" and its three sequels, minus the Donner cut, also come in the eight-disc "The Christopher Reeve Superman Collection." And the four movies are available individually in separate releases.
"Ultimate Collector's Edition" DVD set, $99.92; "Christopher Reeve" DVD set, $79.92;
