We originally
told you months ago that the George Reeves version of
The Adventures of Superman would arrive when
Lois & Clark and
Wonder Woman - Season 3 did, which is June 7th, That classic 1952 television series' DVD never got announced, though, due to some unknown clearance issues holding it up. However, we do have some "news" about the title, thanks to Warner Home Video, which was distributing to retailers some pictures of the various point-of-sale promotion materials that would be made available for sellers to use to promote the
L&C and
WW-S3 releases. It looks like they accidentally slipped in a concept shot of a cardboard standing display for these superhero DVD releases, and the shot still showed the 1950s
Superman in the mix. WB still hasn't announced the title, and we don't know at this time when they will, but at least we now have our very first look at what direction the box art is taking for the release. Of course, that assumes that the issues get resolved, and it still gets released. Plus, never forget that artwork is always subject to change. But this is a great shot of Reeves-as-Supes, and we hope this is the way the box looks when it eventually makes its way onto store shelves. We know that this story isn't full of too much actual news, but we also know that fans of the show have been hungry for an update, and this is the most we've been able to come up with for months. Here's a pic of the cover, beside a more distant shot of the cardboard display Warner shows:
