I love Richard Donner's "Superman: The Movie" from 1978. In many regards it's IMHO the perfect comic-to-movie adaption, full of unforgettable moments. But it's only half the story, as Donner prepared for Jor-El's nemesis Zod, imprisoned in the Phantom Zone, to get free and challenge Kal-El aka "Superman". That story was then released as "Superman II" by Richard Lester, who took over mid-production because Richard Donner left after tensions with the producers. Lester completed the half-finished "Superman II" and added more campy humou.

In 2006, after years of fan petitions, a Richard Donner cut of "Superman II" was released that was meant to come near to Donner's original vision for the movie.

So with this edit I want to tell a single story of "Superman I" and "Superman II" using the best from Lester's and Donner's cut.

This edit differs in the event after Lois Lane falls underground in the cracks during the earthquake. I took footage and scenes from the other movies to make Superman ultimately not care about saving the world.

This version of Superman II strives to be a sequel to Richard Donner's masterpiece Superman: The Movie. I've tried to use the best takes of Donner scenes to better tell his story, complimented with a greater use of Ken Thorne's score. Featuring a new opening and ending this edit simply picks up where the original left off and ends unresolved, in the sense that the sequels don't fit into Donner's universe.

Part 2 in this new Trilogy takes the Man of Steel to unexpected places - he falls in love - world peace is threatened - and he is poisoned by the creation of his nemesis.

This is a modern edit on a classic tale that will appeal to today's audiences who expect a quicker pace and more action. The story has been streamlined which permitted to add some story elements from Superman II. The end result is more action in a similar running time.

Perhaps the most exhaustive and complete reworking of Superman II to date. Combining footage from the original Lester cut, the 2006 “Donner Cut” and selected footage from Superman The Movie, along with extensive special effects corrections, this is the movie that Richard Donner never got to make, the movie you always wanted.

The best bits from Donner’s & Lester’s Versions, with the beginning & end from Lester’s film with as much Donner footage as possible.

This attempts to make a “best of breed” between the two edits of the film that remains congruous with the later films as well.

This fanedit is supposed to be the best version of Superman II ever made, with an emphasis on the “Donner” vision, using only the best and “completed” scenes…no workprint footage, no deleted scenes, a film that would reasonably be in theaters and be the followup to Superman: The Movie… also to fix all the technical mistakes, bad FX (Donner), bad editing, and lame corniness of the original Superman II.

This is a totally different, alternate version of the movie. It was created using both the Lester and the Donner cut.

This combines footage of Superman II & Superman II: The Richard Donner Cut.

This combines Superman 1 and Superman 2 (both Lester and Donner Cut) to one complete and improved movie, by trimming lots of scenes and re-arranging them.

This is a COMPLETELY re-built version of Superman II using the best elements from both movies with a whole new opening credit sequence and many, many changes and edits.

This is a Donner biased version of Superman II that is complete. There is far less compromises with this version so for those who loved the Donner material this cut is for you.

This edit combines Superman The Movie and Superman II into a single narrative that strips out the distractions of Lex Luther’s land-grab and instead focuses on the relationship between Kal-El and his father Jor-El, and the challenges that Superman faces in accepting his duty and destiny. With an entirely new ending that does not rely on time travel or memory-wiping kisses, we finally have a Superman with an ending of consequence, where the events we invested our time watching, have meaning.
