Yes, Marvel may have the upper hand right now with its live adaptation of its comic book heroes, but if there’s one thing that DC Comics has done right it’s the animated films. If you’re a fan of the DC animated films, then you’re in luck as the newest film, ” Superman: Red Son,”  will be the next in the DC dominance of straight to video Blu-ray releases.

Adapted from Mark Millar’s 2003 famed Elseworlds tale Superman: Red Son. The story explores what would have happened if Superman had crash-landed in the Soviet Union and been raised there. This is the synopsis:

“Imagine a reality where the world’s most powerful super-being does not grow up in Smallville, Kansas – or even America, for that matter…

Superman: Red Son is a vivid tale of Cold War paranoia, that reveals how the ship carrying the infant who would later be known as Superman lands in the midst of the 1950s Soviet Union.  Raised on a collective, the infant grows up and becomes a symbol to the Soviet people, and the world changes drastically from what we know – bringing Superman into conflict with Batman, Lex Luthor and many others.”

This film will be directed by Sam Liu (Justice League vs. The Fatal Five, Reign of the Supermen) from a script by J.M. DeMatteis (Justice League Dark). It will include voice acting from Jason Isaacs as Superman; Diedrich Bader as Lex Luthor; Amy Acker as Lois Lane; Vanessa Marshall as Wonder Woman;  and Travis Willingham (Batman: Bad Blood) will voice John F. Kennedy and Russia’s Superior Man.

” Superman: Red Son,” be released on DVD/Blu-ray and digital download in early 2020. Check out the trailer below:
