    Nowhere to post comic stuff, so I’m putting it here.

    If you haven't read it, go ahead and find a copy of Superman: Red Son

    The Elseworlds (DC's version of What If?) story that asks, what if Superman landed in the Soviet Union instead of Smallville, Kansas

    Also, make sure that you get the comic and not the animated movie, the movie is not good and misses the point of the book entirely

        It very much feels like they were like "Well, of course the Soviet Union is evil and this Superman is basically brainwashed"

        Especially since they have Superman kill Stalin because of the gulags and Holodomor, which makes no sense since this version of Superman has the crazy powerful Silver Age power set and is able to hear and see things up to hundreds of miles away, so him being surprised by it is just especially dumb
