I think the 2-disc art is actually pretty great.  I'm usually overly critical of box art, and for once I'm impressed.  The 1-disc is decent, but you hardly even see the S.  The 2-disc seems iconic and great.  I'm happy to see them not copout and use the poster.  I don't think I'll be buying either despite liking the movie.

They should have just had the new logo surrounded by blue as the cover art.  Both designs are horrible.

As for the film itself, it was slightly above mediocre.  It was far too long and not enough interesting action, and I could actually feel time slipping past me whilst I sat in the IMAX.  The cast was decent, as were the performances.  The special effects were amazing, but the story was weak and it all came to a horribly anti-climactic end after dragging on.  The greatest thing about this movie is its score by John Ottman.  His musical revision of the theme by John Williams gave me goosebumps throughout and was stuck in my mind weeks after I saw this.  Overall, there were a lot of scenes I enjoyed, but it fell outta the sky.  

Will I buy this?  I still haven't decided yet.  Perhaps I'll just ask for it for Christmas and see what happens.

As far as it being the worst movie this summer, I'd definitely say it is not.  It is the biggest disappointment of the summer to me, though most would argue that X-Men: The Last Stand holds that title.  I enjoyed The Last Stand, Over the Hedge, and Dead Man's Chest more than this...

If anyone responds to this, know that this is all coming from a guy who never got into the whole concept of Superman.  I don't even remember the first 2 films.  When I get time to watch those again, perhaps I will have more respect for this movie.  Otherwise, Batman reigns supreme in my book, and Batman Begins reigns supreme above any comic book movie that has been released as of late.  So looking forward to that sequel...

SR was solid entertainent...but was waaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too long and had some script issues...That said, I'll buy the 2 disc set (despite the fact that a more extra packed edition is sure to follow ala Singer's X-Men films). It's SR, Donner's cut of Superman II, The 4 disc set of the first film, all the way!!

The cover art for both editions really SUCKS!!

I heard Bryan Singer said that particular scene is best experienced on the big screen and that scene will probably be re-integrated for probably another IMAX re-release (and won't surface on the DVD). I say, if that scene costs $10 million to shoot, it should see the light on DVD first.

I Like the 1 disc art better, but like both.

Call me crazy... I saw this film 7 times, and plan on buying both editions!

hollywoodland is about george reeves, not chris.

News is back again! Warner neglected to tell us the only thing they didn't want on our site was the release date - as that hadn't been confirmed. Only just found out - doh! Anyway, will get back to you when the date is confirmed - although I can't see it changing from what we posted earlier personally...

Heh, the true reason Warner probably pulled it off was to stop looking at all the posts on how truly awful this artwork is. (And also how truly disappointing this movie actually was).  Silly Warner Brothers....

Now that it's up again, the release date has been removed. I'm a bit worried since it's mid- September and still no announcement until this. What's going on?!? Is it still coming on November 28?!?

ARG! stupid freaking kinda ugly covers! I'm getting the 2-disc no matter what but please, revise the artwork! We're the ones buying them so why does no one listen to us? I'm pretty sure they knew that at least 97% of the fans of the movie would want the 'hovering over earth' poster art. GRR! You can do what the freak you want with the 1-disc (hell you can even put every actor on the cover wit 8 quotes) but please for the love of god  
give us something cool for the 2-disc! But I bet they know we're gonna buy it anyways. I know you don't judge a book by it's cover but I like having sweet cover art for movies I love! anyways end of rant

Don't like the covers.  The colors just seem off, almost too "comic bookish."  I like comics, but this just doesn't look right.

Didn't like the movie, thought that it tried too hard to connect the old and the new, instead of just starting over and making a good movie.

Well the UK release is definitely still listed for the 4th of December, and I can't see the R1 release being behind that.

this movie is way overrated. After Warner Released the excellent cover for "The Green Mile" all the other covers have been bad

I don't know why this artwork exists, as it has been entirely created for the DVD, it's not as though it was used in any marketing material at all.
The original Superman DVD releases had the movie posters as the cover art, the same should have been done here (the hovering poster).
It's going to be hard watching Smallville after this film, as this took risks and developed the story and the characters, which was very benefical, where as Smallville seems afraid to do anything like this and as a result suffers from it.
