Fans can also grab the 4K, Blu-ray, and DVD versions when they hit shelves on September 23. This home release is packed with special features that are sure to excite Superman fans and movie buffs alike.

The bonus content includes a director’s commentary by James Gunn, which gives viewers a deeper look into the making of the film straight from the director himself. Along with this, there are deleted scenes that didn’t make the final cut, a gag reel filled with funny moments from the set, and nine featurettes diving into different parts of the movie’s world and characters and the highlight is the hour-long documentary called Adventures in Making Superman.

One of the standout extras is a behind-the-scenes featurette called A New Era: DC Takes Off. Entertainment Weekly has shared an exclusive clip from it, offering fans a peek at how Superman kicks off a brand-new chapter for the DC Universe across movies and television.
