...Unless your a content freak. A: You can get these DVD's separate and here is why you might want to (if your a content freak.) The first one, and probably the most legendary one, has a butt-load of extra's! It had to be a double-sided disc, WAY TO GO WARNER BROTHERS! (Well, not the double-sided disc part but the fact that there's that many special features on the movie.) II, III, and IV only have theatrical trailers at the most. I bought this at $[...] and was satisfied, and you guys can get it for $[...]. You wanna know why I was satisfied? All the movies, every single one, are on the same level, 5/5 classics. Yes, I mean it. They all were enjoyable and seemed to follow the same path of movie type yet didn't rot into the brink of a gigantic peach! Lemme put it this way, it's like that Jack Link's beef jerky, it's got that oxygen absorber in it, so no matter how long it isn't bought say...2,000 years! It will still be fresh, these are movies you could watch over and over again especially II and I, but don't underestimate III and IV! Now if you're a huge content freak or just don't believe these movies aren't getting the treatment they deserve, why don't you buy the blu-rays or maybe the special edition collections say: Superman - The Movie (Four-Disc Special Edition) Superman II (Two-Disc Special Edition) Superman III (Deluxe Edition) Superman IV - The Quest for Peace (Deluxe Edition)

Firstly I love the old styled face of these DVD's. Secondly its nice to have a complete Christopher Reeve superman collection.
Superman the movie is the best followed by Superman II. The romance between Superman/Clark Kent and Lois Lane is truly heart warming. The best movie collection ever.

This set was supposed to have the Christopher Reeve "Superman 1-4" movies, but #3 was missing and instead, there were 2 #2s. It was especially bad because the movies were a gift from "Santa" for my 6-year old son. Further, the seller could not send me a #3 replacement, but offered to refund me $9. However, i still have to go buy #3 on my own.

On November 28 two better versions of this collection will be released. The first is entitled "The Christopher Reeve Superman Collection". This release is listed on Amazon.
This version will have 8 disks including a 4 disk special release of Superman I with both the 1978 release and 2000 expanded edition (don't know how that relates to the longer TV version only shown twice). There will be a two disk version of Richard Lester's Superman II which will only contain one version, not the longer TV version (a darker film), which has not been rebroadcast. There will also be one disk versions of III and IV with some new special features. In the case of IV it is not clear whether it will be the version released in the US or the 20 minute longer version released in the rest of the world.
I and II will also have remastered productions of the Fleischer Studios Superman cartoons, long overdue since the special edition VHS versions of those cartoons (no longer available) were of superior quality to the DVD releases.
The four Superman movies as described above supposedly will also be released individually.
Most importantly, the long hoped-for Richard Donner's version of Superman II (a noticeably different movie from Superman II heretofore available) has been completed and will also be released seperately at the same time. This is not just a modified cut, but actually a noticeably different movie as Richard Donner had a different view of the basic story. For one thing, Marlon Brando as Jor-El has a major role in Richard Donner's version, while he was totally writtten out of Lester's intrepretation. Marlon Brando's appearance in Superman Returns was made up of alternate takes of what he did in Superman I. What is in Donner's Superman II has not been seen publicly before. Donner's Superman II is not planned to be part of the collection above. Superman Returns will also be a separate release in one and two disc versions, although this is not yet shown on Amazon
On November 28 the Ultimate Superman collection will also be released. it will include all of the above along with the Richard Donner cut of Superman II, the 2 disc version of Superman Returns and a host of special features. Not yet sure if Supergirl will be in the package, although a new release of that (not yet listed on Amazon) comes out the same day). Still some speculation if 13 or 14 discs.
There is reportedly another package, also called the Ultimate Superman Collection, that will come out the same day, consisting of 19 discs. Not sure what's on the extra discs relative to the US release. That version will be released abroad, not in the US, at least not now. Maybe later, after they've sold as many US versions as they can and want to see if they can sell the collection agian with these extra discs.
