Superman: Red Son (2009): cast, story & where to watch

2009 · Film · ★ 7.3

Released in 2009, Superman: Red Son is an animation film directed by Dylan Coburn, running about 62 minutes. “What if Superman had been raised in the Soviet Union?” — that tagline sets the tone.

What it’s about. In Red Son, Superman's rocket ship lands on a Ukrainian collective farm rather than in Kansas, an implied reason being a small time difference (a handful of hours) from the original timeline, meaning Earth's rotation placed the Ukraine in the ship's path instead of Kansas. Instead of fighting for "...truth, justice, and the American Way", Superman is described in Soviet radio broadcasts "...as the Champion of the common worker who fights a never-ending battle for Stalin, socialism, and the international expansion of the Warsaw Pact." His "secret identity" (i.e. the name his adoptive parents gave him) is a state secret.

Who’s in it. Superman: Red Son stars David Lodge as Superman (Kal-L) / Bizarro, Jim Meskimen as Lex Luthor / Jor-L / Green Lantern (Guy Gardner) / Joseph Stalin / Perry White, Kirk Thornton as Jimmy Olsen / Batman / Green Lantern (Hal Jordan) / Pyotr Roslov and Wendee Lee as Wonder Woman (Diana) / Hippolyta / Lara-L / Lana Lazarenko, among others.

How it landed. With an audience score of 7.3/10, Superman: Red Son has been warmly received by audiences.
