Ep. 22 - Superman: Red Son - Page vs. Screen

03/05/20 • -1 min

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.
