- Commentary by director Richard Donner and creative consultant Tom Mankiewicz

- New featurette Superman II: Restoring the Vision

- Additional scenes

- Subtitles: English, Français & Español (feature film only)

-Trivia

83% - Is the magic number. The 1977 Donner footage equals 75% . The remaining % is material from the first picture , new material and the screen test.

The XK101 missile. The Nuclear Missile shatters the phantom zone. Original footage of the XK101 used, probably with CGi enhancements.

Eiffel Tower. Cut out.

Lester Humour. Reduced or completely cut out.

Blank Bullets. Lois Lane shoots a blank bullet thus reveals Superman! Donner never shot this, the two screen tests have been cut together and will be used with a disclaimer.

Blanks Bullets vs Pink Bear. You choose which one you want to view.

Marlon Brando. In 3 pivitol scenes; Lex Luthor in the Fortress; Clark and Lois watch home movies (rumoured) and Clark loses powers; Jor-El's suicide. New special effects.

The Villains rampage. No villains take over the world. Villains new powers probably cut out.

Bodydouble. He's used for 'over the shoulder and distant' Superman shots. Rumour has it that this material might be used for the Tower of Pisa, Superman lands in Metropolis in the beginning and maybe some Donner 'Metropolis battle' material.

Newly shot footage. To complete and bridge the 1977 scenes. Includes new exterior Daily Planet material.

Music. John Williams STM score and some Ken Thorne material.

Special Effects. Over 90 of them including credits, I guess.

Ending. Superman turns back the world.
