At this price (even the $30 dvd option) there is no competition, this is the best Superman figure meant for adults/"serious" collectors.

I already said the sculpt itself is fantastic. I know it isn't Mattel, but the Burton Batman has articulation in the ab area. So do the Colonial Marines. There is no excuse for Superman not to have it.

As for those being the best Superman movies, not really. I find them to be mediocre at best. Sure, the Donner cut of 2 is vastly superior to its predecessor, the two sequels that came after, and Returns, but I'd put Man of Steel on the same level of it. Reeves' Superman movies just don't have enough action in them and they turned Luthor into a jokester while Man of Steel had way too much action. If you take the best pieces from both movies, you would have a pretty good Superman movie.
