There was
a story posted a week-and-a-half ago at the fansite SupermanHomepage.com, which said that they knew the release date to the long-awaited
Adventures of Superman - Season 1 DVD set. There they told everyone that "
...we have received confirmation that the first season DVD release for "The Adventures of Superman" starring George Reeves, will be available from June 14th. " This info accompanied some news about a U.K. release of
Smallville - Season 3 (still not released there yet), but the way fans read the
AoS news on the same page was that the site was referring to the USA release of that set.
We've gotten lots and lots of e-mail from fans telling us about that, and urging us to pass along the news here. But it didn't entirely match up with information we had, so we wanted to check with the studio before passing this on to our readers. Now we've managed to talk to Warner Home Video about this.
Warner tells us the "June 14th" date at SupermanHomepage.com is not accurate for Region 1. However, they agree that
The Adventures of Superman starring George Reeves WILL be out in the
Summer of 2005 in North America. This has been cooking for a while, after
a hold-up related to restoring the elements of this older (1952) property.
From other things we've heard separately, it seems like they may also want to release the first season of
Lois and Clark: The New Adventures of Superman at the same time. That would be an unbeatable combination!
The studio is getting all these things finalized in the near future, and once they do we'll be back with tons more information, so please stay tuned!
