I was annoyed by the divergence from Millar’s comic book in key aspects of the story and the distortion of the ideological ideas presented and basically of the main point. But as an animated film, Red Son is a very clever twist on the Superman myth, with great action and a really dark atmosphere. The best part is his scuffle with Batmankov.
