Love how they used the cover art in the credits
I think they were afraid the movie wouldn’t be to neutral to communism.
There was a period in my life that I wanted to get the Red Son Superman logo as a tattoo on my leg. Instead, I opted for Jerry Garcia’s handprint which is 100% less controversial.

You can say what you about Stalin, and all of it deserved, but his mustache game was on point.
I hope there’s some fish escapement passages incorporated in that dam lol
And supes still has the spit curl haircut. It’s iconic, but seems unlikely.
Man, if they would have stuck with hydro energy, Chernobyl could have been a nice vacation destination.
Aw I miss the globe moment
I think Lexie might have something to do with that satellite…
And here comes the “shipping fodder”

I really am a fan of modern comics taking a look at this era of history. Sensational Wonder Woman had recently done that. Then there is that Darwyn Cooke classic, New Frontier, which is a good choice for a double feature with Red Son.
