Warner Bros. Announces 4K UHD Replacement Discs for Superman Film Collection
Posted on August 12, 2025 by Neil Cole
Warner Bros. Discovery Home Entertainment (WBDHE) has confirmed that replacement 4K UHD discs will be made available for the 2023 "Superman: 5-Film Collection", correcting a number of audio and video issues reported by fans.
According to Bill Hunt of The Digital Bits, the corrected discs are not yet shipping, but customers can email WHV@wbd.com to request replacements once they become available. Proof of purchase - such as a photo of your existing set - is recommended.
Key Fixes in the Updated Discs Include:
• "Superman: The Movie" (1978) - Now includes both the original 6-track and 2.0 audio in lossless DTS-HD MA, alongside the Atmos mix. The video glitch affecting Christopher Reeve's on-screen credit has been removed.
• "Superman II (1980) - Improved Atmos mix corrects “wow” and pitch issues from the 2023 disc.
• "Superman II: The Richard Donner Cut" (2006) - Corrected geometry on the film’s final shot of Superman smiling at the camera, which had been horizontally squished.
• "Superman IV: The Quest for Peace" (1987) - Updated Atmos mix replaces incorrect alternate musical performance cues used previously.
(Note: "Superman III" remains unchanged from its prior 4K UHD release.)
The newly-authored discs will also be included in the upcoming Amazon-exclusive "Superman: 5-Film Collection" 4K Ultra HD box set, scheduled for release September 2, 2025. The set is currently available for pre-order, though availability may fluctuate.
Fans who purchased the 2023 4K UHD Superman box set or standalone discs should email WHV@wbd.com with proof of purchase to receive the updated editions once they ship.
