A third disc containing the 4K UHD of Superman: Doomsday!, which makes it the first and only 4K UHD of that film to date, effectively making it the supreme collectors version of the story, complete with Superman: Doomsday, and both Death and Reign of the Superman in one cohesive form. HOWEVER, the real biggie was that on digging into the press release even further, they had snuck one last goody into the package. Warner took both movies and blended them into one seamless presentation (e.g., one set of credits, one runtime, one super cut of both films, ala The Dark Knight Returns). The first (albeit minor) reason is because this is not just both discs packaged together. I mean, we’ve had both the Blu-ray and the 4K UHD releases of the singles, so what was the point in buying it again? Well, the answer is two fold. When I initially saw that Warner Brothers was releasing this collection of both films together I was kind of nonplussed. It had originally been done several years back with Superman: Doomsday, but this iteration was a bit more complete, and truer to the source material. Last year’s The Death of Superman and this year’s The Reign of the Supermen was one of the better retelling of the classic death of one of our favorite superheroes.
