Casablanca and Body Heat would be fine choices for 2 disc Special Editions IMO.
How about MUTINY ON THE BOUNTY with both versions on the two disc set.That's not too different from what Universal did with Meet Joe Black. Put MJB with the excellent Death Takes A Holiday in a set...
Sorry to be kind of harsh, but this is equal to packaging Hitchcock's Psycho with the remake...and it being the only way to get the original.
WHV didn't do anything to Superman. The director's cut and new sound mix were done for the restoration.Honestly, they did a lot to Superman IMO, both good and bad, and since this has been debated previously, I don't want to take up any more of the thread than necessary.
What I meant was that I hope WHV doesn't go in and alter the film (audio or visual) instead of just remastering it. Superman and Batman are their two cornerstone films in the action/family/superhero genre, and I'd hate to see the film get an "upgrade" just to shine as much as it's predecessor.
If some restoration is needed, then I trust they will do the best job possible, but I hope changes aren't made for the sake of sales.
All speculation of course.

How about MUTINY ON THE BOUNTY with both versions on the two disc set.There are actually three versions (not counting two Australian versions made in 1916 and 1933) and MGM owns all of them.
WB owns them.
MGM made the 1935 and 1962 versions and I think WB made the 1980's version.The '80s version is already available on DVD from MGM. The other two are distributed by MGM on VHS although in retrospect that doesn't really mean anything since a lot of WB-owned titles are still floating around out there in MGM VHS editions.
