![]() The best changes involved the character of Lana/Svetlana. The film version removed the character of Pyotr Roslov who in the comic was the head of the NKVD who entered into the power struggle with Superman. The film showed some events like Brainiac’s attack on Stalingrad. Red Son did have time jumps between issues leading to events briefly explained. Scenes were added or changed to make Red Son more dramatic. Red Son was more flexible when adapting the comic book. Whenever they made an adaptation of a famous storyline like Batman: Year One, The Dark Knight Returns and the second half of The Killing Joke, the film has stuck closely to the comic book story – even if the comic structure doesn’t work for a film. Warner Brothers have made many animated films based on DC Comics. When Superman sees Stalin’s hard methods of governing the alien resolves to run the Soviet Union as a more just nation and save the world from the evils of capitalism. This leads to the American government recruiting Lex Luthor (Diedrich Bader) to come up with a way to defeat the alien being. In 1955 the Soviet Union announced to the world that they have Superman, changing the balance of power in the Cold War. One of the most famous was Mark Millar’s Superman: Red Son which showed what would happen if Superman was brought up in the Soviet Union. DC Comics has a great legacy of making Elseworld stories about their popular characters. ![]()
