What happens

Superman: Red Son is a 2020 American animated superhero film focusing on the DC Comics character Superman, and the 40th film of the DC Universe Animated Original Movies. The film is based on the 2003 comic book miniseries of the same name written by Mark Millar and pencilled by Dave Johnson, Andrew Robinson, Walden Wong and Killian Plunkett. In the film, instead of landing in Kansas after being shot away from a doomed Krypton, Superman lands in Ukraine and is raised on a kolkhoz. As he grows up, he is found by the Soviet Union authorities and pressed into service to Joseph Stalin himself. It was released digitally on February 25, 2020 and was released on Ultra HD Blu-ray and Blu-ray on March 17. This was the final film of Jim Ward before his retirement in 2021 and death in 2025.
