Fire up the DVD player for the Man of Steel

Tomorrow’s the day that the “Superman Returns” DVD flies into stores. Also look for “Superman II: The Richard Donner Cut” and “The Superman Ultimate Collector’s Edition.”

I’ll get “Superman Returns,” but I don’t know if my curiosity will be enough to get me to buy the Donner version of “Superman II” as well. If I had a hundred bucks burning a hole in my pocket, I’d get “The Superman Ultimate Collector’s Edition.” It really does sound like a good deal. It contains both “Superman Returns” and “Superman II: The Richard Donner Cut,” plus “Superman: The Movie,” “Superman III” and “Superman IV: The Quest for Peace.” (Though you could argue that those last two cut into the value of the collection.) There’s also “Superman and the Mole-Men,” starring George Reeves, a batch of classic Superman cartoons from Fleischer Studios and some other goodies.
