The 5-film 4K release of Christoper Reeve's 'Superman' films will hit shelves this April.
Warner Bros. is celebrating its 100th anniversary this year and part of the celebration includes looking back at the company's biggest hero - Superman. The company has a new 4K collection of the five beloved Christopher Reeve Superman films on the way as part of the festivities, bringing a piece of DC history home in one box. The officially-titled Superman 1978 - 1987 5-Film Collection is set to release on April 18 both on 4K Ultra HD Disc and digital.
The collection remasters Superman: The Movie, Superman II, Superman II: The Richard Donner Cut, Superman III, and Superman IV in one package for the first time, using HDR to give the films a wider range of color than ever before. Each case containing the discs is also housed in a box with art that depicts Superman's crystalline Fortress of Solitude and the Man of Steel himself standing front and center.
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY Superman: The Movie has a legendary reputation, paving the way for superhero films to come and benefiting from an iconic run by Reeve as the Man of Steel and the creative guidance of Richard Donner at the helm. It was enough to earn Donner three Academy Award nominations and eventually earned the film a spot in the Library of Congress National Film Registry in 2017. Superman II was a complicated case, however.
Pick Up the Superman 1978 - 1987 Collection for a Piece of DC History The whole collection will set fans back $99.99, which isn't terrible considering the typical cost of 4K remasters. These films play a key role in the history of superhero films and the set revives them in their best state yet for future generations to see where the superhero craze began.
The Superman 1978 - 1987 5-Film Collection will be available for purchase digitally and physically on April 18. Check out the classic Superman: The Movie trailer below.
