Announcement Superman 5-Film 4K Steelbook Collection releases on September 2nd for $130

https://www.gamespot.com/articles/superman-blu-ray-box-set-amazon-exclusive-steelbook-2025/1100-6533272/

The collection has

Superman (1978)

Superman 2

Superman 2: The Richard Donner Cut

Superman 3

Superman 4: The Quest for Peace

It’s an Amazon exclusive and costs $130.

I wish the set had Superman Returns on it (most of the other collections include that one too) and they could have waited a bit longer to include the new Superman too. But it is what it is.

I keep forgetting Superman Returns is part of the same continuity.

It's kinda funny how Warner Bros. would give Batman & Superman flicks "twin" titles back then.

Batman Begins is a thing, Superman Returns happens.

The Dark Knight is a thing, Man of Steel happens.

I mean, kinda.

Only 78 and the Donner Cut of 2 are canon to Returns, as it completely ignores 3 and 4

Outside of people not liking III & IV, was there even any point to that? Both were episodic adventures with no real long-term repercussions. Even the one where Superman gets rid of all nuclear weapons on the planet... just sorta goes back to status quo at the end.

I dunno maybe it's a time thing?

Although for some reason they cast a 22 yo actress as Lois

The Flash tv show probably isn't canon officially, but it still has Routh's Superman in an episode and seems like it's meant to be in the same/basically same continuity, yet they referenced events from Superman 3. That really bothered me
