Disc-Oh Beat

Warner Home Video has officially announced the DVD release of Bryan Singer's Superman Returns. According to Tom Woodward of DVDActive, the film will be available to own on November 28th, 2006, in both a single disc version and a 2 disc special edition.

Woodward also adds:

Each will carry a 2.40:1 anamorphic widescreen transfer, along with an English Dolby Digital 5.1 track...the single-disc will be featureless...

... the two-disc edition will include:

Deleted scenes

Requiem for Krypton:Making Superman Returns - a comprehensive 3-hour documentary that takes you behind the scenes onto the set of Superman Returns.

I don't care for the cover art on either DVD edition at all. I would have much rather seen the studio stick with the theatrical art.

A three hour documentary is nice...but what about audio commentaries? Brandon Routh's audition tape? Trailers and TV Spots?

I think it's a safe bet that a more comprehensive DVD for SR will come along just before the sequel arrives...or sooner.
