Superman: Red Son is a 2020 animated movie produced by Warner Bros. Animation and DC Entertainment. It is based on the critically acclaimed comic book by Mark Millar and Dave Johnson.
The movie premise is that instead of landing in Kansas in the United States, the infant Superman crash-lands in the Soviet Union on a collective farm. The child is named Kal-El, and he grows up to become a symbol of Soviet power and ideology. Instead of fighting for "truth, justice, and the American way," he fights for the preservation of Stalin's brand of communism.
Superman's upbringing and experiences shape his worldview, and he is convinced that the Soviet Union's way of life is superior to that of the capitalist West. In this alternate universe, Superman serves as an enforcer for the Soviet government and often clashes with his old friend, the American hero Lex Luthor.
As the story unfolds, Superman's actions bring him into conflict with other iconic characters from the DC Universe, such as Wonder Woman, Batman, and Green Lantern. The movie explores themes of power, ideology, and morality, leaving viewers to ponder whether Superman should use his powers to protect the Soviet Union or to fight for the greater good of humanity.
Overall, Superman: Red Son provides a unique and thought-provoking take on the Superman mythos that fans of the character and the Cold War era will likely enjoy.
