Superman Ultimate Collection ? - Blu-ray Forum

Spottedfeather · 01-19-2010, 09:53 PM

What do you think the chances are of getting the Ultimate Superman Collection on blu-ray ? I have the set on dvd, and would really love to get it on blu-ray. I'd like the first movie to have the original 2.0 audio, but since it's blu-ray and everything has to be high-def, that probably won't happen. What do you guys think ?

someday, though I do not think I could ever sit through 3 or 4 EVER again, and the other 3 are out. IMO they need to reboot Superman like they did Batman

Does anybody truely want any Superman movie after 2? Honestly?

jk1138 · 01-19-2010, 10:09 PM

I have to admit I do not even really care for 1 or 2 any more and Returns was just as bad as 3 and 4 IMO. As I said before, its time for a reboot.

I would like to have the theatrical edition of Superman II on blu but that would suffice for me.

Same here. Eons better than the Donner cut IMO.

+1
I really only like Superman: The movie and Superman Returns. Hopefully the next one they make won't be a sequel or complete homage or whatever Returns was.

Superman was a big enough franchise that they will all be released but I would guess no new transfers for the films already released and 3&4 (my guess) will not have top notch attempts.

A few years ago, this set was inquired about at one of the Home Theater Forum's periodic online chats with the "powers that be" at Warner Home Video. The Warner rep was very (IMO, insultingly and condescendingly) dismissive of the request, saying something along the line of "Why would we do that? We just released it shortly ago on DVD...that should suffice. We'd rather concentrate on new stuff!". Which I found very peculiar (if DVD = BD, then we wouldn't have/need BD), especially when, shortly thereafter, Warner migrated the entire DVD experience of the ULTIMATE MATRIX COLLECTION over to BD...seemed rather hypocritical. I'm with you guys; Warner's missing quite an opportunity with this franchise...

Superman represents a big revenue opportunity for WB. So of course you'll see an "ultimate" set someday. It's just a question of when.

Since I have the Christopher Reeve collection on DVD, I probably wouldn't buy a BD set unless there was a significant upgrade in clarity - which may not be possible, given how they were filmed.

In fact, my preference would be for a Superman 1 & 2 box set, which had both the theatrical and post-release versions of both films, rather than a set that includes 3 and 4.

All I want now is the theatrical cut of II. They can keep III and IV.
