Giving this it's own thread.. the old Superman thread had no useful info in it.

Will they also include Superman 2: The Director's Cut?

It's the same artwork and number of disks as the release from Zavvi in the UK, and that only has the first disc (i.e. the cinema cut) for both of the first two movies. So, if they go the same way, no Donner cut for Supes II. :-(

So I'm guessing by this thread the DB entry with listing the "5 movies, 7 cuts" is incorrect then? Saw this in the shops last night and saw no mention of alternate versions.

Correct, just the five discs.

Hmmm.. wonder why they didn't include Man of Steel in this set?

At 151 mins Superman The Movie is still 20 minutes shorter than it should be. I taped it in 1986 and it is the International cut that runs for about 173 mins.

The 173 min cut is a longer version of the film that was assembled by the film's producers (and without input from director Richard Donner) sometime in the late 70s/early 80s for TV airings, and is not an official cut of the film. It's also my understanding that Donner does not approve of the 173 min version, and was unaware of its existence until the early 2000s.

So therefore, technically, the film as it is on blu-ray is not shorter than it should be.

Exactly what I said. Snyder's Superman films are total toilet and a lame PR style defence of the films isn't going to change my opinion.
