Superman flies onto Blu-ray and is presented in their original 1.33 full frame aspect ratios and given 1080p high-definition transfers. Detail on this does look quite good in HD with bright and vibrant colors in each theatrical short, and is clean and there were no signs of artifacts, aliasing, or other issues with the age of these, going on 80 years now. Each of the 17 shorts are given fine DTS-HD Master Audio 2.0 Mono tracks which outputs clear dialogue levels and respectable enough depth when considering when these were produced and released. |
