The set, which retails for $85 and is scheduled for release on June 24th, 2025, includes these softcover editions:
- All-Star Superman by Grant Morrison and Frank Quietly, ranked as the number one Superman story by IGN
- Superman for All Seasons by Batman: The Long Halloween team Jeph Loeb and Tim Sale, a critically acclaimed standalone story stuctured thematically around the four seasons

Who Is Making the New Superman Movie?
James Gunn is writing and directing Superman: Legacy, with Peter Safran producing.Gunn’s credits as writer-director include Marvel Studios’ Guardians of the Galaxy trilogy, and for Warner Bros.
Whereas Zack Snyder drew from such seminal stories as John Byrne’s The Man of Steel and The Death of Superman for a high-octane take on the Kryptonian in the DC Extended Universe, the newly-rebooted DC Universe is influenced by Grant Morrison and Frank Quitely’s altruistic All-Star Superman and Jeph Loeb and Tim Sale’s coming-of-age tale Superman For All Seasons.
“Not only is Superman an iconic part of DC lore, he is also a favorite character for comic book readers, viewers of earlier movies, and fans around the world. And I like that sort of innate goodness about Superman as his defining characteristic.” In Legacy, Superman is “the embodiment of truth, justice, and the American way.”
Superman: Legacy Cast
In February, Gunn debunked rumors of reported frontfunners for the Superman role.
Lois Lane describes her bumbling Daily Planet co-worker, the clumsy Clark Kent, as a “big country lummox,” unaware of his secret double life as Superman. He is a farm boy from Kansas who is very idealistic,” Gunn said. At this time, no other characters have been cast for Superman: Legacy although siblings Alexander Skarsgård (Succession) and Bill Skarsgård (John Wick: Chapter 4) are reportedly being eyed to play iconic supervillain, Lex Luthor.
