Finally appearing on DVD/BluRay 26 years after the original release of the version made by Lester following Donner's removal from the film by the Salkind Brothers, this consists mostly (if not entirely) of footage shot by Donner, including substantial scenes with Brando as Superman's father. Tonally the film is quite different from the release version, but certainly no less pleasing; this big-screen outing is consequently a real event!

Visit the BFI website for further details.

"Up, Up and Away!" - 18 short instrumental tracks illuminate the mythology of Superman, the world's first superhero. You'll be dazzled by the sheer scope of music used to tell this powerful tale. From whimsical whistling to thunderous Orchestral arrangements, Superman's hopes and fears and loves are all explored and revealed in music that is often humorous and other times darkly dramatic. Even heavy metal rock and slapstick comedy come in to play, as musical manifestations of Lois Lane, Lex Luthor, Perry White, Mister Mxyzptlk, and even Gotham City's Batman come to life in this 'inspired' and inventively arranged Musical Melange! If you love music... all kinds of music, you'll love "The Sadness of Superman: A Musical Melange for the Man of Steel".

Congratulations Ken! Your signed copy of the CD will be sent to you shortly.

You can listen to snippets of all 18 tracks via CDBaby.com to see how fun and different Dark Bob's music is.

The Metropolis Chamber of Commerce proudly welcomes Keith Howard to the 35th Annual Superman Celebration for a live production of the classic "Adventures of Superman" episode, "The Perils of Superman."

Mr. Howard is known across the country as the "George Reeves Superman" because of his love for the iconic Superman character as portrayed by George Reeves on the popular 1950's television series.

Following the highly successful 2012 production of the "Lucy Meets Superman" episode of "I Love Lucy", Mr. Howard will bring to life the "Perils of Superman" episode of the "Adventures of Superman" in front of a capacity crowd at the Baymont Inn Theatre on Friday, June 7th at 3:00PM.

Mr. Howard not only wrote the production's script and built and painted the sets and props, but will also direct and star as Superman in the performance. The production will also feature the acting talents of Ashley Bayles as Lois Lane, Alex Rinaldi as Jimmy Olsen, Joseph Rinaldi as Lead Masked Villain No. 1, Brandon Whitmore as Lead Masked Villain No. 2, Janine Rinaldi as Perry White's Secretary, Kevin Whitmore as Perry White, John Rinaldi as Inspector Henderson, and Juliann Rinaldi as Detective #2.

Honored guests from the "Adventures of Superman" TV series will also be in attendance during the performance and include Laurie Mitchell Roberts and Gregory Moffett who had guest roles in the episodes "The Man Who Made Dreams Come True" and "The Stolen Elephant", respectively.

"The Perils of Superman" episode originally aired on April 21, 1958 and starred George Reeves as Superman/Clark Kent, Jack Larson as Jimmy Olsen, Noel Neill as Lois Lane, John Hamilton as Perry White, Robert Shayne as Inspector Henderson, Michael Fox as Lead Masked Villain No. 1, and Steve Mitchell as Lead Masked Villain No. 2.

The live production performance will feature many memorable scenes from the classic episode such as Superman saving Perry White from meeting his demise at a remote sawmill, Superman swooping in to save Lois Lane who is tied to a railroad track just seconds before a speeding train arrives, and Jimmy Olsen's car going out of control and off the cliff of a mountain road where Superman saves him as he clings to the face of the cliff.

Henry is awesome in the movie. He's very different from Brandon and Christopher. He's a man's man, very virile and very yoked, believable, very brooding, at the same time it's a real fresh take on Superman.

The special effects are way over the top. I mean you are going to see superpowers that you've never seen before, depicted on the screen in the ways that you would have never imagined. It's really exciting.

It's epic! It's got a lot of heart. But one things that was missing from the last Superman movie was the action and this movie has it in spades. It's a visual thrill ride. It's amazing. You get to see all the powers of Superman in all its glory and I think people are going to be blown away.

Matt Bomer talks about the plot of “Superman: Unbound”, the relationship between Superman and Supergirl (voiced by "Castle" star Molly Quinn), and the villain, Brainiac.

Based on the Geoff Johns/Gary Frank 2008 release "Superman: Brainiac," SUPERMAN: UNBOUND finds the Man of Steel aptly handling day-to-day crime while helping acclimate Supergirl to Earth's customs and managing Lois Lane's expectations for their relationship. Personal issues take a back seat when the horrific force responsible for the destruction of Krypton - Brainiac - begins his descent upon Earth. Brainiac has crossed the universe, collecting cities from interesting planets - including Supergirl's home city of Kandor - and now the all-knowing, ever-improving android has his sights fixed on Metropolis. Superman must summon all of his physical and intellectual resources to protect his city, the love of his life and his newly-arrived cousin.

Produced by Warner Premiere, DC Entertainment and Warner Bros. Animation, SUPERMAN: UNBOUND film arrives May 7, 2013 from Warner Bros. Home Entertainment as a Blu-ray^TM Combo Pack, DVD, On Demand and for Digital Download.

Pre-order "Superman: Unbound" on Blu-ray and/or DVD from our Online Store.
