There's been a lot of excitement surrounding the animated adaptation of
Superman: Red Son, as the classic Elseworlds tale from writer Mark Millar and artists Dave Johnson and Kilian Plunkett becomes the latest DC Comics story to get the small screen treatment.
Now, the first trailer has been released, and superpowers come to the Cold War in a big was as we get to see alternate takes on not only Superman and Lex Luthor, but also Batman, the Green Lantern Corps, and Wonder Woman. It looks like a solid retelling of the original story which explored the concept of a Man of Steel who landed in the Soviet Union instead of the United States.
"Red Son" was loosely adapted in season four of
Supergirl with an alternate Kora Zor-El.
Directed by Sam Liu,
Superman: Red Son stars Jason Isaacs as Kal-El, Amy Acker as Lois Lane, Diedrich Bader as Lex Luthor, Phil Morris as James Olsen, Phil LaMarr as John Stewart, Vanessa Marshall as Wonder Woman, Sasha Roiz as Hal Jordan, Roger Craig Smith as Batman, Paul Williams as Braniac, and William Salyers as Joseph Stalin. It's set to be released early next year!
