Well if you get the boxed set, chances are you won't have to deal with the cover art

If this is the FINAL dvd cover art, then I will take them out and reverse them showing the blank side cause it actually makes me NOT want to watch them! I've seen better porn cover art! This is almost as bad as finding out the Star Wars original versions were not anamorphic.

From one freak to another...

I'd say you're going a bit overboard with that one.

Did they fire their graphics designer? If not, it's about time.

Can't agree more. They look like bargain basement covers designed by the Brill Boys. Maybe someone should send them this link ....

Look to bottom of the page for real cover art.

Those covers look even shittier than the Star Wars covers. I didn't think that was possible. Another example of how useless Warner Bros is...

Another?? I'd say they're the most consistant and supportive production company of them all. I have more of their DVD's than any other.

Jeez...you guys need to start putting the discs in your players and stop licking the outside packaging.

Trust me. If I bought a Popcicle which had a turd for a wrapper, I wouldn't be licking the inside or the outside.

The turd (in this case) has ZERO effect on the inside.

If I stared at cover art while the movie was playing, I'd be pissed. But since I don't...

Whoever settled on those...I'm sorry, but they're terrible. Having a common theme between them is fine. Less is more--also good. But these look as if they were done by amateurs. Now I REALLY hope there is a 14-disc set with completely different artwork. Like the Matrix Collection.

Pictured for that 4-disc Superman release, I had something much more simple and elegant: A dark blue case with "Superman: The Movie" sunk into the cover, formatted with that glassy effect. Or, as an alternative, the cover art of the original DVD release surrounded by a thick, dark blue border. Man, could have looked so good!

I agree with Artman: Seeing those covers does not inspire me to buy the releases. I will do so only because of what's on the discs. But as I said, I'm really pulling now for something more deluxe, with artwork that's suitable.

Agreed. Actually, I'm shocked to find hackjob photoshop cover art as bad as this on a WB release. They've always seemed to do it right. Maybe they hired someone from the Columbia/Tri-Star or Lucasfilm art department.

If you think those covers are bad, wait until you watch Superman IV!

I actually like how Superman II looks. And I find it funny that Clark gets his own separate spot on the Superman: The Movie cover. Where's Otis?

I asked the same thing when it was designed and no one seemed to care. It's pretty inexplicable to me that it has the blonde girlfriend of the old guy, but not Richard Pryor.

and the verdict from england is..... yuck.

my idead would be do have kept it simple maybe have a basic superman logo cover in 4 different colours like red, white, blue, gold or silver, some sort of metallic cover would be nice. not lenticular though they look tacky. this is one set of films where they dont need lots of stuff on the cover. wee all know what superman is.
