No, the released version of part one is pretty much the Donner cut. There are slightly different versions out there (TV re-edit for example). But no major difference. And I guess they were going to work out a new ending for part 2. But he never got the chance.

So why not leave the ending as is for the Donner cut then? Have two endings with the same trick is not cool. Everything else in the cut I thought was fine.

Donner essentially showed how he had wanted to end Superman at the beginning. They basically recut the ending of S1 at the beginning of the Donner Cut to reflect the original intent.

S1 was to end with one of the missiles going into space and freeing the Kryptonians from the Phantom Zone. They shout "We're Free" and fly towards earth, setting a teaser for S2. The Sulkinds felt there needed to be an emotional punch, and Lois dying in the strongest story point in the two films. The Sulkinds urged Donner to move it to S1, and they would work out a new ending to S2 later. Donner was fired and Puzo left with him, as did many other people involved with production - most noticeably Marlon Brando, Gene Hackman, John Williams and Mario Puzo.

With Puzo and Donner gone the ending of S2 became the weaker ending. Plastic 'S'. Magic Kiss. No destruction of the Fortress.

The Reeve Superman in that picture is not the HT figure, its the Cinemaquette.

I'm pretty sure that's the CM 1/4 scale statue

I sincerely hope the Hot Toys figure ends up far better than that overpriced cadaver-like fiasco.

My heart almost stopped...

[DinoLast]

Well I hope the HT figure looks better than the CM anyway

 

[Cap'n Cook]

After this long a wait, it had better.

 

[OSCORP]

So about a month left of winter then?

 

[Cap'n Cook]

Winter 2010 or Winter 2011?

 

[OSCORP]

Oh snap!!!

 

[DinoLast]

Winter 2010 or Winter 2011?

The Teaser said This Winter. If it comes out any later it's overdue.
Oh well, I have waited for a great Reeve figure since the day I saw the movie at the cinema, so I can wait a little longer
