Superman fans who adore the classic films featuring Christopher Reeve can now own 4K Blu-ray versions of all four movies at a bargain price, thanks to Amazon's Big Deal Days sale. The Superman 5-Film Collection: 1978-1987 is available for just $65, down from its original price of $135. This comprehensive set includes both 4K Blu-ray discs and standard 1080p Blu-ray versions of each film, matching the price offered during Amazon's Prime Day in July. This special promotion is set to conclude along with the Big Deal Days event, which ends tonight, October 9, at 11:59 PM PT.
An intriguing aspect of this collection is the inclusion of the Richard Donner Cut of Superman 2, which many fans regard as the superior version of the sequel. The existence of two cuts of Superman 2 stems from behind-the-scenes conflicts and budget issues, but Donner's version is widely appreciated for its enriched narrative. While the rest of the series may not have aged as gracefully, these films remain iconic Superman classics, with Reeve's charismatic performance shining through in every installment.
For those who prefer a darker superhero narrative, Amazon's sale also offers significant discounts on Batman Blu-rays. The Dark Knight Trilogy, directed by Christopher Nolan, is now priced at $34, a substantial reduction from its original $71. This collection includes 4K versions of Batman Begins, The Dark Knight, and The Dark Knight Rises, allowing viewers to experience Christian Bale's intense performances in ultra-high definition. Additionally, the special features on each disc provide deep insights into the psychology of the Caped Crusader.
2022's The Batman, starring Robert Pattinson, is also on sale, with the 4K Blu-ray now available for just $10. Directed by Matt Reeves, this film presents a more grounded take on the Batman character, as he navigates a web of corruption and mob violence while pursuing the Riddler. Lastly, Joker is available for only $11.
The Dark Knight Trilogy is among the many Batman Blu-rays eligible for Amazon's B2G1 free Blu-rays and books sale this week.
