Great to have the earlier movies in one set
While the later movies got a bit carried away in some aspects. They are still a good watch. The inclusion of the reboot is a nice addition to the series box set. It had been a long time since I had seen them. Now I can check them out whenever I want to watch them.

Interesting Superman 1 - V (?) compilation
This DVD contains the "2000 Expanded Edition" of Superman The Movie - which was only shown on TV a few times. Some of the extended scenes are interesting and some are unnecessary. The DVD is numbered "2" so I assume the original film is "1" in another set. There is commentary by Donner and consultant Tom Mankiewicz. Also there is a "music-only track."
Superman II is the "Richard Donner" cut that were shot during the first film as they were trying to shoot 2 films at once without anyone knowing. The producers were a bit sneaky but were found out. This has the first screen test of Chris Reeve and Margot Kidder doing the rooftop scene prior to Superman flying Lois. Reeve has not bulked up and looks like a tall but non muscular Clark. Special features include Donner introduction, commentary, a short called "Restoring the Vision," and deleted scenes.
Superman III and IV are the poor cousins to I and II but the discs have producer commentary, making of 3 and deleted scenes. Then we have Superman Returns which needs a review all by itself. Parts of it are grand and parts are almost distasteful and director Bryan Singer just made poor decisions of casting and ends up basically retelling the Lex Luthor land-grab disaster story from the first film. Why couldn't he use another villain or explain Superman's extended disappearance due to an extraterrestrial villain? No special features.
I think it is sad WB has done such a poor job recently with their premiere comic character in films.
