Set in the thick of the Cold War, Red Son introduces us to a Superman who landed in the USSR during the 1950s and grows up to become a Soviet symbol that fights for the preservation of Stalin’s brand of communism.
Superman: Red Son is a 2020 American animated superhero film focusing on the DC Comics character Superman, and the 39th film of the DC Universe Animated Original Movies. The film is based on the 2003 comic book miniseries of the same name written by Mark Millar and pencilled by Dave Johnson, Andrew Robinson, Walden Wong and Killian Plunkett. In the film, instead of landing in Kansas after being shot away from a doomed Krypton, Superman lands in Ukraine and is raised on a kolkhoz. As he grows up, he is found by the Soviet Union authorities and pressed into service to Joseph Stalin himself.
