Since more and more threads will be coming out in the upcoming weeks about this upcoming box set we should just have one to discuss all the news and evrything else concerning this set: Here's info from the official Press release(the first one)

Superman: The Movie (1978/2001) Four-Disc Special Edition

A box-office smash, an Academy Award® winner and a fan favorite since it first flew into theatres in December 1978, Superman: The Movie assembles an "A List" cast and creative contingent. At its heart is Christopher Reeve's intelligent, affectionate portrayal of a most human Man of Steel.

The movie's legacy was amplified when director Richard Donner revisited this beloved adventure 22 years later and integrated eight minutes into the film. Enjoy more footage of the Krypton Council, a glimpse of stars of prior Superman incarnations, more of Jor-El underscoring his son's purpose on Earth and an extended sequence inside Lex Luthor's gauntlet of doom.

Superman II Two-Disc Special Edition (1980)

Unwittingly released from Phantom Zone imprisonment, three super-powered Kryptonian criminals (Terence Stamp, Sarah Douglas and Jack O'Halloran) plan to enslave Earth - just when Superman (Christopher Reeve) decides to show a more romantic side to Lois Lane (Margot Kidder). Gene Hackman (as Lex Luthor) also returns from the first film with a top supporting cast, witty Richard Lester direction and visuals that astound and delight.

Superman III Deluxe Edition (1983)

Meet Gus Gorman (Richard Pryor), a half-witted computer programming wiz. Reeve reprises his role, deepening his character's human side as Clark Kent reunites with old flame Lana Lang (Annette O'Toole) at a Smallville High class reunion. When Superman becomes his own worst enemy after Kryptonite exposure, Reeve plays both roles with dazzling skill.

Superman IV The Quest For Peace (1987)

Christopher Reeve not only stars as the title hero again but also helped develop the movie's provocative theme: nuclear disarmament. To make the world safe for nuclear arms merchants, Lex Luthor (Gene Hackman) creates a new being to challenge the Man of Steel: the radiation-charged Nuclear Man (Mark Pillow).
 
Is anyone else more excited by this than any other DVD releases that have gone before? I cannot wait!
 
i;m excited about the 4 disc Superman: The Movie set!!! and the 2 disc Superman II, but I hope and dont think Superman III and 4 might get crap special features but I thnk they will have some pretty good ones, not enough for 2 dvds that's sad when there is proably loads more crap because those 2 are more recent than Superman The Movie...
 
I just wish that Donner's cut of Superman II would become so successful, that they'd ask him to cut III and IV aswell, and make them in to better movies, because there were so many possibilities.
