A no flexibility attitude from both Brando and Donner saw both removed from the series until 2006 when Donner's definitive (or at least, as close to definitive as possible) version of the movie, simply entitled Superman II: The Richard Donner Cut was released on November 28, 2006 on the same date as to the DVD release of the summer hit, Superman Returns.

Superman II: Lester Cut vs Donner Cut. Which do you prefer and why. I saw the Lester version of Superman II and enjoyed it. Although I liked Superman the Movie much better. The Lester version was great but very uneven especially where it constantly hopped into the area of cheesy comedy. I especially hated the “comical” scenes with the.

Superman II is the better Richard Donner Cut done by the first movie's excellent director.
