Superman: The Last Son of Krypton (1996 TV Movie HD Reconstruction)

Author

Superman: The Animated Series first aired on Kids WB! in September 6, 1996. It came out at a time when Superman as we know it was gaining traction on television in the 90s, with this series and Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman. This TV movie would be released on VHS four days after its broadcast date and on DVD on February 4, 2004. However, this version never was released on Blu-Ray, which had all the episodes restored from the original negative. Because this contains a couple of scenes that NEVER appeared in the three-parter version.

SOURCES
Superman: The Animated Series - Complete Series 2021 Blu-Ray (for the three-parter Last Son Of Krypton episodes)
Superman: The Last Son Of Krypton 2004 DVD (for extra small scenes, credits, audio, and subtitles)

I’ll keep you all up to date for this new reconstruction! Being a huge fan of Superman (and this series), I think this project should be relatively fun to work on! It helps too that the 20th anniversary of Superman: The Animated Series is coming up. Of course this is not he first DCAU TV movie reconstruction I am doing.

Like The Justice League, I would LOVE to help you with this in any way that I can, especially previewing it and giving feedback if you opt to go that route.

This is interesting! Are the “new” bits from the DVD just things like removing commercial breaks or are there scene extensions?

I’m just here because I’m driving tonight.

There are no commercial breaks but I did find a couple of scene extensions, like the scene with the people inside the airplane that Superman swoops in to save.

v0.1 is prepared. Though it is incomplete. It’s more of a rough approach on what I was wanting to do.
