Everyone has their favorite Superman, and for many fans of the iconic comic book character, it’s still hard to beat Christopher Reeve’s take on the Man of Steel. The movie legend left his mark on the franchise across four films, and if you want to revisit them, Amazon is releasing a new–and exclusive–5-Film Steelbook Library Case Box Set on September 2.
Preorders haven’t opened at the time of writing (July 18), but it should be available soon. We’d recommend checking the Amazon store page frequently, if interested. We’ll update this article once it’s available to purchase, but keep in mind that it will likely sell out fast.
Superman 5-Film Steelbook Collection with Library Case (4K Blu-ray)
Releases September 2 exclusively at Amazon
This looks like a modified reprint of the previously released steelbook variant of the 85th Anniversary Superman 5-Film Collection. And while that one did include a few physical extras, the fact that this one only appears to include the movies and steelbook cases should help keep the price down.
For this release, you’re getting each film in 4K–as well as standard Blu-ray and Movies Anywhere digital copies–in four steelbook cases that come packaged inside of a collector’s tin. Here’s a look at all of the films you’re getting here:
- Superman (1978)
- Superman 2
- Superman 2: The Richard Donner Cut
- Superman 3
- Superman 4: The Quest for Peace
This is just the latest Amazon-exclusive steelbook collection with a Library case. It’s starting to become a trend. In June, Amazon launched the 007: Sean Connery 6-Film Steelbook Collection. Earlier this month, the retailer revealed A Nightmare on Elm Street 7-Film Steelbook Collection.
One thing to note here is that you’re getting two versions of Superman 2 in this collection. There’s a long story here that boils down to creative differences and concerns over the budget, which eventually resulted in Superman director Richard Donner being removed from the sequel and replaced with Richard Lester. Donner’s version was released decades later, and it’s generally considered to be the best version of Superman 2 as it adds more nuance and substance to the story.
