Warner Bros. Discovery Home Entertainment is bringing their summer blockbuster hit “Superman” to home video. This reimagining of the iconic superhero is the first film in James Gunn’s new DC cinematic universe. Writer-director Gunn injects his signature style into a movie that feels more a kickstart to the DCU than an actual Superman story. That’s only one of the movie’s several issues, yet the film did well, taking in over $615 million at the box office. You can read my full review of the film [HERE].
This 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray edition of “Superman” includes a digital copy and will be available to purchase on September 23rd. See below for a full synopsis of the film as well as a list of special features.
About the Film:

Rating: PG-13 for violence, action, and language
When Superman is drawn into conflicts both abroad and at home, his actions to protect humankind are questioned, and his vulnerability allows tech billionaire and master deceiver Lex Luthor to leverage the opportunity to get Superman out of the way for good. Will the Daily Planet’s intrepid reporter Lois Lane, together with the aid of Metropolis’s other metahumans and Superman’s own four-legged companion, Krypto, be able to help Superman before Luthor can completely destroy him?
The film follows Superman’s journey to reconcile his heritage as the Kryptonian Kal-El with his human upbringing as Clark Kent of Smallville, Kansas, and his selfless determination to use his power for good as humanity’s protector. Guided by human kindness in a world that sees kindness as old-fashioned, he is the embodiment of truth, justice, and a better tomorrow.

Keith & the Movies 
Ah, cool features. I would love to get this eventually.
I enjoyed the features more than the movie.🤣
Superman came out this year, not 2015.
Hey thanks for pointing that out. Correction made.
No worries Keith
I picked this up because I wanted to give the movie a second shot after not necessarily being a fan the first time around. I have to say, that with a second and third viewing, I’ve come around to really liking this movie. I decided to engage the movie on its terms and let it pull me into IT’S world, and while it still has its problems, I found it to be a more fulfilling experience the more I watch it. I think my problem with my initial experience was that I wanted to engage the movie on MY terms, and that tends to lead to disappointment in many cases. Since I changed my approach, I appreciate the film quite a bit more. The special features on the disc certainly help, but I really don’t like the fact that there are going to be digital-only features like a commentary and deleted scenes, and a gag reel. I really don’t like that. If you’re going to do stuff like that, include it with the main physical release.
That’s interesting because for me the second viewing only put exclamation points on so many of the movie’s problems. They stood out even more. Even if you remove the Superman element, i’m still baffled by how bad the storytelling is and how flimsy the characters are. I do get what you’re saying, but I just can’t get past how poorly it does some of the most basic things.
