if this laserdisc is actually open matte and not pan&scan, it could be used for this project...

Like Superman 1-3, Quest for Peace was shot anamorphic and not Super35, so therefore all 4:3 versions are pan and scan.

Which brings me to another question, was there a Japanese or Asian DVD of the IC released over there? Depending if WB does not own the Asian rights and if another company does, it might worth looking into.

I remember the DVD's for 3&4 took a long while to come out even though 1&2 had been released. Then when they did, 4 was the US version. Looking at the Chinese and Japanese DVD's, the artwork is consistent with the initial DVD release. Their runtimes show they are the same as the US cut, so it would appear the Japanese LD is the only release with the extra scenes in their proper aspect ratio.
