MultiVersed

Since the departure of Dan Didio from DC Comics it has been officially stated by Jim Lee, who is currently the Publisher and Chief Creative Officer of DC Comics, that 5G will now be renamed Generation 5 and that the original plans for this new era in the continuity is being replaced with something that will be much more familiar to long time fans. In this episode, Obi and Jack talk about what the original plans were, why it was probably a bad idea, and what they think the best course of action is for the DC universe going forward.

Superman: Red Son is one of the most popular alternate-reality stories that DC ever published. Originally released as a three issue prestige format comic (Jun '03 – Aug '03), Red Son asked a simple question "what if Superman had been raised in the Soviet Union?". Just as other popular DC stories have made their way to animation over the years, Red Son has now received the same treatment. To celebrate this on MultiVersed, All Bad Jack and Obi Macaroni decided it would be fun to compare both the comic and the movie to see how and why they differ in another segment of Page vs. Screen. For anyone who hasn't read or watched either versions of Superman: Red Son, be warned that this episode contains many spoilers. The animated version of Superman: Red Son was released on February 25th, 2020.
