Boring features

Re: Man Of Steel
 

The Journey of Discovery documentary sounds interesting. Especially since its feature length.

Re: Man Of Steel
 

Journey of sounds like (& probably is) a Warner Maximum Movie mode feature

Re: Man Of Steel
 

That's what I thought as well. A form of it.

The 2D cover is classy. The 3D cover is lazy.

Re: Man Of Steel
 

I hope Target cover is better, not too crazy about those above.. Well the 2D its well done just too similar to my Superman Anthology box set

Re: Man Of Steel
 

I like both.

Re: Man Of Steel
 

Looking forward to this one.

They really did put the Super in the Man this time.

Bring on "The World's Finest", then JLA Part 1 and 2 (JLA filmed at the same time).
-Darseid would be the bad guy in the background for WF
-JLA Part 1: Heroes gather for the attack of Darkseid (would be cool if Darkseid takes Superman and brainwashes him, so the JL would have to battle him the beginning of JL Part 2)
-JLA Part 2: Darkseid attacks, big battles and Batman helps JL outsmart Darkseid which causes him to retreat.

Re: Man Of Steel
 

It'd have to be really clever writing to make people not role their eyes too much for how smart Bats is against superpowered people.

Re: Man Of Steel
 

2D definitely looks classier, but using the poster art is much lazier than attempting something different.

Re: Man Of Steel
 

I hope so. I think those are a really cool way to get behind the scenes info.

Re: Man Of Steel
 

The artwork is really really bad!!

I thought the artwork for the Amazon preorder was the artwork and I would have preferred that over what they chose.

Re: Man Of Steel
 

Just tack that "3D" on there like a dingleberry. Nailed it, Art Department.

Re: Man Of Steel
 

That 3D cover is absolute mule shit.

Re: Man Of Steel
 

Looks like Wal Mart will be getting a steelbook. Doesn't look like it's going to include the 3D version though.

Re: Man Of Steel
 

I think someone mentioned that in post 10.

Re: Man Of Steel
 

That someone being you!

Post pics next time ;)

Re: Man Of Steel
 

this is suhweet!!

Re: Man Of Steel
 

Why do they need Superman flying in the middle of the S for the Blu-ray combo?

Re: Man Of Steel
 

Day One

Re: Man Of Steel
 

Comic book writers have been pulling that shit off for years. It'd take a special kind of hack screenwriter to fuck that up. Are Diablo Cody or Skip Woods doing anything at the moment?

Re: Man Of Steel
 

Here's the DVD cover by comparison.

Re: Man Of Steel
 

Might actually be my favorite of the bunch.

Re: Man Of Steel
 

Better than flying through rings!

Re: Man Of Steel
 

The DVD and steelbook covers are a lot better.

Wonder what Target will offer.

If you pre-order the Steelbook at Wal-Mart will you get credit like you do at Amazon when the sale price drops during the release day?

Re: Man Of Steel
 

The movie was too long as it is :p. In all seriousness, I did definitely feel like there were many interesting and unexplored ideas in the movie, I'm disappointed that it doesn't sound like there are at least deleted scenes or something.

I'm sure they're saving some vault stuff for the inevitable rerelease when the next special edition comes out to coincide with World's Finest or Superman/Batman or whatever the hell they're calling it.

Was thinking the same.

Does the BR release of Superman: The Movie include both cuts and the mono track that got left off of the anthology DVD boxed set?

I don't know if I can think of an imagine in the film that would be interesting enough to make a good cover, to be honest.

It's been a chronic problem in the comics for years, even the DCAU got flak for it, you have to write Batman as ridiculously smart to make him work with the rest of the DCU who have superpowers.

Some random Man of Steel exclusive bundles from WBShop.com:

Re: Man Of Steel
 

There's a rarity now a days, a DVD version that will retain most of the special features as the blu ray version (it prob won't have the Maximum movie mode) but there is a disc 2

Target

Re: Man Of Steel
 

I may have to get the digibook. But it'll probably be at Target.com. I expect all the stores here to cram them in the security cases or spider wrap.

Re: Man Of Steel
 

I wouldn't hold out hope for a Maximum Movie Mode.

Re: Man Of Steel
 

Odd, given that the director had done one for Watchmen, I believe.

Re: Man Of Steel
 

And Sucker Punch.

But I wouldn't be surprised if there isn't a MMM. Warner's releases of late have been lacking in the features department.

Re: Man Of Steel
 

It seems to be the fist casualty in the death of physical media, it looks like it's starting to happen with various distributors.

Re: Man Of Steel
 

What? I never saw any consistency with the Maximum Movie Mode. Just the ones mentioned along with Terminator Salvation on Warner titles. It definitely wasn't a common feature, and I doubt it's lack of it on the Superman set is due to the so called death of physical media. I'd anticipate it as more of a preemptive move for the inevitable double dip.

Re: Man Of Steel
 

I just meant that it appears that less extras are show up on BR these days, at least from what I'm seeing with these major mainstream releases.

Re: Man Of Steel
 

Well at least release prices are dropping fast and low as well. I'd accept less special features if I still get excellent AQ and PQ at a reasonable price. Downloads don't offer that, as far as I'm concerned. The actual $ amount might be relatively low but I've not been remotely impressed by the video quality of downloadable media. And, as far as I know, lossless audio would be out of the question in such a scenario.

Re: Man Of Steel
 

Re: Man Of Steel
 

Watchmen and Sucker Punch both got director's cuts as well, and Man of Steel so far has not.
