I think someone here was looking for Superman 2 The Richard Donner Cut on Blu-ray.

Apparently this is it.

Superman II looks like a comparable transfer to Superman the Movie to me, btw.

Superman: The Movie on BD is a must-own. Any fellow BD/Superman fans on this thread who are hesitating, there's no need. You should definitely pick it up. I purchased the box set of all four films when they were released on DVD in either 2000 or 2001 and they looked great. However, the blu-ray is beautiful. Bright, vibrant colors, excellent transfer. Quite a few scenes that have the 3-D effect to them.

As noted above, Superman II is not available on blu-ray, only the Richard Donner Cut. While the Donner Cut was decent I think I still prefer the original cut from 1980. Whenever that comes on blu-ray I'll definitely be picking it up.

But anyway, 1978's Superman is really worth it. It was the first one I picked up the day I purchased my BDP-S300 and I love it

And sure enough it has arrived. Hopefully it will be lovely and pristine upon viewing.

I wasn't impressed at all with its picture quality, The Omega Man, which is older and also released by Warner Bros. looks much much better, just to name an example.

Superman: The Movie looks good on BD, but inside the Daily Planet it looks DNR'd. Soft and no grain.
