Overview

One of the most legendary Fan Edits of all time by ADigitalMan, Superman Redeemed presents a hybrid cut of Superman III and IV, with elements of all four Christopher Reeve films (including some esoteric deleted stuff) worked in. ADigitalMan built a new narrative around Clark's return to Smallville and Superman's Quest For Peace. The Paris nuclear terrorist sequence from the Theatrical Cut of Superman II (deleted from the Donner Cut), became the lynchpin of the story. Just as the character of Superman is redeemed in the junkyard, so do these two junky films get redeemed, leaving a more fitting legacy for Christopher Reeve. Hence the name: Superman Redeemed. The end result is more than an exercise in editing, it is surprisingly coherent and entertaining as a film in its own right. Twenty years after its creation, it is still being talked about and argued as one of the great Fan Edits of all time that raised the bar for what Fan Edits could be.
