Went to the site, the cover is easily different than before, because the banner on the single disc one is blue while in this version it's blue. also the 2 disc cover shows how it's in a slipsleeve and also what the discs look like.
I think the 1-disc has improved based on that picture from loudside.com, but the 2-disc artwork still really blows.

I wouldn't say it was the worst film of the summer. More of a letdown. It didn't live up to the hype. At least not to me.

Come on, Warner Brothers. The handwriting is on the wall--underlined and italicized.
Switch the 2-disk art to the Superman "hovering earth" poster art.
Bottom line--it's an enigmatic picture that will sell more DVDs.

They need to do something about those banners.
Still c**p.
well, I was severely disappointed in this film. how do you have a superman film, with hardly any action? very long, surprisingly boring (which was a shame) and just too light on good kryptonian action. regardless, the DVD cases are pretty ugly. I don't like the "forced" perspective on these covers. His face, up front and centered, just looks cheesey. I find it amusing that the single disc version cover, highlights, about the "only" action in the entire film. good to rent, disappointing to own. . .it was like watching "Days of Our Lives" with a cape on.
I loved this movie. I saw it 3 times. I'm not a fan of either of the cover art. I too would have liked the hovering over the earth poster. WAY BETTTER artwork. That poster was iconic. This is just artwork thrown toghether for a DVD. I've never doneit but maybe I can get a high res of the hovering pster andake my own DVD cover.
I thought this was WAY BETTER then Pirates 2. I actually fell a sleep during Pirates.

You got it! -- and they have the rights to use it to since Region 4 will be releasing a tin with that image. This must mean they are holding out down the road for something else possibly. Many here would agree that Warner is making a huge mistake not using that Superman "hovering earth" poster art for the 2-disc edition. No doubt it would boost sales of the 2-disc edition.

Dissapointing film now becomes a disspointing DVD. I still can't believe Singer left "X3" for this. "Superman Returns" isn't a bad film, but, it sure ain't a great one either. Ask yourself this one question (& be honest) "25 years from now, will anyone really look back & fondly remember this film?"
George Wright wrote: "25 years from now, will anyone really look back & fondly remember this film?"
Simple answer, HELL YES. Saw the film 7 times, the most I have ever seen any film in theaters, if it hits the discount theater this weekend, make that 8 times. Oh, and complaining it didn't have enough "action" when Bryan Singer said himself, that it was more of a chick flick, is dumb. The movie was an amazing human drama, and the action it did have in it, was beyond amazing.

Yeah. I.
Yeah. I.
My guess, the hovering poster will be used for the inventable Extended Edition.
...And the DTS? Why Warner lost this home theater aficionados feature????
I was hoping there would be a LE for this. Certainly hope for a 2-Disc + Comic Book ver. May be it will come out very limited and unannouce who knows, another Walmart Exclusive?

Wal Mart never has good exclusives like that. Target had a V for Vendetta exclusice that came with a comic book and a collectable cover. Maybe we'll get lucky.

Hot damn that artwork is terrible. But I loved the flick, so you win again WB.

Singer himself said there won't be a Extended Edition of the film. The hovering poster may be used for double-dips to help promote the sequel in 2009.

So Superman Returns being part of the sweet 13-14 Disc amazing boxset is purely a rumor that will never happen right? God I really hope that we get that awesome 14-disc boxset edition for R1!
Anyways as much as I dont really like the covers, i'm still buying the 2-disc for sure. And if they do double dip, well they can count on my money aswell. This movie is worth the double-dip!
I really hope they re-release the movie in theaters with the 'Return to Krypton' Scene that cost 10 million dollars! If not well I hope it'll be in the future extended double dipped edition!

I find it funny that they asked you to remove the street date when it's on same screen as the press art on their publicity site...
I have to agree with those that are disappointed by the artwork here. But the choice for the single disc edition is absolutely horrible. How does this screen shot represent the movie? It's a single scene in the film. Very poor choice. The two disc edition fares a little better, but with artwork as cool as Superman hovering in space over the light blue marble earth, why was this one picked?
well the artwork is very tasteless and bland.I thought it would be the posters of it, those looked cool. I can always count on warner bros to give the consumer the option of a single or two disc. just like v for vendetta, posidean, and lastyears batman begins, I would rather pay a few dollars more than get screwed like fox does and try to double dip. anyways a 3 hour documentary is well worth the extra money, i'll be picking it up in nov
- There is no definite sequel in place yet, warner is waiting to see more money
-the cover art is ugly, needs to be the hovering earth pic
-inevitable double dip down the road
-singer said he won't do an extended or directors cut, so it's up to the studio when and if sequel time comes
-singer said he only wants the krypton sequence in the theatre.
-go out see the movie again, get us a sequel and wait for a good edition

I loved this film, can't wait to own the dvd. Hate the cover art, but not a show stopper.
I have to say those who say this film lacked action should go back and watch the 1978 version again. Returns had as much action as the 1978 version (actually more). That seems to get lost is all this "soap opera" talk. I watched the "78" version again just the other evening and save for Supes initial appearance, the action is limited to the finale basically. IMO both films had more serious character moments that needed to be handled (the first one his birth and emergence and in Returns his re-emergence) and that came first, it had to IMO.
If you remember, Superman 2 was a lot more action oriented, and I have no doubt that Singer's second Supes film will be the same.

Personally I lıked ıt. When the fırst three notes of the theme boomed ın the cınema my arms went all goosepımply.
Cover art sucks. But hey I'm getttıng the R4 uber box set.

That cover is actually a bit better, the picture didn't change but the slip-sleeve makes it look better
