Also, its commendable to see genders reversed in the film, whereas the women have all the power and the men are merely objects and tools. Then there were numerous little things that bothered me. Helen Slater effectively portrays Supergirl as the innocent, naive character she's written to be, as she's able to gaze at flowers and bunnies with the right amount of genuine wonder to make it believable. Believability aside though, it's still annoying. The first and most widely available DVD release features the International version of the film which runs 10 minutes longer than the print which ran in U.S. theaters.
Images are sharp, colors jump off the screen, and the picture is free of scratches or artifacts.
Bosco is a step in the right direction in the evolution of audio commentaries. Bosco seems to be an expert in all things Supergirl and is there with Szwarc to ensure that there's no dead air on the track. Bosco probes Szwarc for information on virtually everyone and everything that comes onscreen, and we learn a great deal more about the film as a result of his participation. Although, at times you can tell that Bosco is looking for a specific response from Szwarc, and is surprised when he doesn't get that response. As it stands, Superman is written off early on in the film when we hear a radio broadcast mention that he is billions of light years away on some sort of peace mission.
