· Superman 50th Anniversary Special (1988 TV Special)
WOW. Haven't seen that since it aired.
· Deleted Scenes including the never-before-seen original opening to Superman Returns
RETURN TO KRYPTON?!?!?!?!?
· The Adventures of Superpup [1958 TV pilot]
Interesting. Why this and not the Superboy pilot from around the same time?

I wonder if the Fleischer cartoons and Superman and the Mole Men will be in HD.

I mean, that's what it's gotta be, right? There's nothing else it could realistically be?

Now that IS intriguing...
The only thing that can hurt this set now is if they recycle the old HD masters for STM, S2DC and SR. Lossless audio for everything (including STM theatrical mix) is a must.
I guess we can throw out the Booshman STM edit.

wow.... we knew the donnerverse was over, but that right there... there's no reason to hold it back anymore- but i was afraid it'd be locked in a vault never to be seen ever. adding that intro, removing lex screwing the invalid old lady and the beginning of SR gets a LOT better. where did this info come from? |

 Aside from the S emblem, that looks pretty good. I like the cape design of the inner case. The pictures of Reeve on the individual discs look pretty good and surprisingly accurate. Someone obviously knew which picture went with what movie, such as using a Donner-era shot of Reeve at the Fortress for S2DC and a Lester reshoot picture for the theatrical cut. Usually no one bothers with little details like that. Please please please be new masters and encodes. |

I like it.. the logo don't bother me to much. I really would like to get this.
My only concern about this.. I HOPE everything is captioned and/or subtitled. I will not get it, if it's not. I spent 100 bucks on the DVD set, and couldn't watch over half of the extra's cause nothing was captioned. I was pissed.
I hope WB fixed it for the Blu-Ray set.

someone on facebook brought up a good point. will the intro for SR include the scenes incorporated from STM and the theater curtains leading into the actual RTK scene or just the RTK scene itself? what do you guys think?

forum.dvdtalk.com/hd-talk/589148-superman-motion-picture-anthology-dts-hd-ma-6-7-11-a.htmlWarner Home Video has announced a Blu-ray release of Superman: The Motion Picture Anthology for June 7th. The 8-disc release will include Superman The Movie, Superman The Movie: Expanded Edition, Superman II, Superman II: The Richard Donner Cut, Superman III, Superman IV: The Quest for Peace and Superman Returns - all for the first time with DTS-HD 5.1 Master Audio. We've attached the full disc specs below, along with our first look at the package artwork:

Lossless audio, excellent! There's hope that the picture is new too....

I hope it'll be like that. I can't really tell.
I hate how they say that, but Superman IV is not in 5.1. It's just going to be in 2.0 (hopefully lossless), but what do you expect for a Cannon film? I also hope the 2.0 track for Superman: The Movie will be lossless too.

The original 1978 mix.

so, unless I am missing something it seems like the only new content will be the "original opening" for superman returns. And no content will be missing that was present on the 2006 set correct?

A 2.0 track for STM? LAME
Someone please tell me this is somehow just as good as 5.1 DTS.
I am not knowledgeable when it comes to audio details. But as a consumer and someone who has a 5.1 surround system that supports DTS, 2.0 sounds BAD.... very BAD.

It's not a matter of 5.1 vs 2.0 sounding better. It's about having the original sound. As much as people complain about the ever-changing sound mixes on Star Wars, the 1978 and 2001 mixes are night and day.
The 5.1 mix is the one Thau created for the extended cut. That one was created entirely from scratch.
The 2.0 mix is the original theatrical sound mix. Now they SHOULD take that original sound mix and convert it to 5.1. After all, catalog movies get that treatment all the time.
But if I had to choose between the Thau mix in 5.1, or the theatrical sound mix in 2.0, I would choose the 1978 stereo mix. Besides, when you run stereo through a good Dolby Pro Logic IIx mixer, the results can be quite pleasing.

Besides, when you run stereo through a good Dolby Pro Logic IIx mixer, the results can be quite pleasing. I dunno about all of that and the Thau mix or whatever. All I know is that the 5.1 on the previous STM DVD release sounds pretty sweet to me. I NEVER like it when my system has to do that ProLogic II crap, because IMHO it sounds like shit compared to 5.1. SII and SIII will have 5.1 and not STM? To me that's a step back. Original shmiginal, they need to be progressive and not regressive. If that means building a brand new 5.1 mix, so be it. |

I already have the SR blu-ray with the improved audio (or whatever it's called. Eh, not savvy on this stuff at all), but I guess I'll have to buy this for the RTK scene. So, in general, Is this package worth the $$?  |

WTF is it with Singer distancing himself from SR anyway?

Take a look around the internet, see what the supposed target audience thinks of SR (and Singer by association).  |
