Superman: Red Son (Review) – Cold War Revisited

Superman: Red Son is based on DC’s famed Elseworlds tale from 2003, Superman: Red Son takes place in an alternate reality where the spaceship bearing the last survivor of Krypton crash lands – not in rural Kansas, but in Stalin controlled Russia. Can this Cold War-era Earth survive the coming of a Soviet Superman? I will have to tell you that I never really have anything bad about Warner Bros animation when it comes to DC Comics properties. Now for the most part they are usually Batman centric especially with the titles that we have previously seen and there have only been a couple with Superman. I am not going to dig into this movie too much but it really shows a difference in the direction in the DC Animated films.
