I received the 5-disc SUPERMAN (1978-2006) Blu-ray box for Christmas, and I'm wondering if anyone here has info on the deluxe 8-disc set.
The 5-disc box has everything in the 8-disc set except:
- The 188-minute Extended Cut of Sup-1
- The Donner Cut of Sup-2
- The Bonus Disc
Neither box has the 151-min Special Edition of Sup-1, but I have that on DVD, and I have the Donner cut of Sup-2 already.
I'm wondering if I should spring for the 8-disc box. It comes down to the Extended Cut and the Bonus Disc.
- Any thoughts on the Extended cut would be helpful. Thanks to this thread...

...we have a pretty good rundown of the extra scenes, but I can't decide how bad I want it.
- What is on the Bonus Disc? The 5-disc set has so many extras already, I'm wondering what it could be. Thanks!

Ah, so I had it wrong. The 8-disc set has the Expanded Edition (151 min), not the Extended Cut (188 min). So in order to have absolutely everything, I would have to buy the 8-disc set plus the separate Extended Cut release.
It comes down to special features (on the Donner-II disc and Disc 8) versus the 188-minute TV version.
I'm leaning toward the Extended Cut. That giant, kitchen-sink TV version seems more important. In TV terms, it's a full-blown mini-series.
Thank you, Christian R. for the Super Info.

Wow. So that's still in print, and not an older title you bought second hand? If so, I'll look into getting it. Thanks... 
It's new. It ships from England, but it's region-free and plays fine on my U.S. machine. For the money, this is a steal.

My copy of the Extended Cut arrived today:
https://www.amazon.com/Superman-Movie-Extended-Special-Collection/dp/B075TDZV1P/
Naturally I'm at work and don't know when I'll be able to schedule a proper viewing. The thing to do is make it a two-night event, like it was in its original broadcast.
I assume the 188-minute Extended Cut is framed for 16x9, and thus it's really a modern re-creation of the TV print.
