About this movie

When Krypton’s last son crash-lands in Cold War-era Russia instead of rural Kansas, an alternate reality unfolds in this DC Elseworlds adventure. Here, we find Superman spearheading a Communist campaign to advance the ideologies of the Soviet state. Meanwhile, across the Atlantic, brilliant American scientist Lex Luthor devises a plan to rein in, and ultimately destroy, the alien Soviet threat. What follows is a gripping game of cat and mouse that will leave all of humanity hanging in the balance.

Ratings and reviews

Devoutly leftist, anti-American, anti-male propaganda. A disgusting piece of modern filth. This movie features blatant anti-man tirades courtesy of Wonder Woman on not one, not two, not three, but several occasions - including the quote, "all men brings upon themselves the end. And this [suffering] is what they bring on all women that trust them." I tell you, there is not a single point for that line except to shoehorn more anti-male sentiment into this pile of garbage. And the anti-Americanism is all too prevalent. Sure, I understand it is about seeing Superman from a Soviet perspective - that's great - this isn't. Diatribes over "privilege" or "the divide between the highest and lowest of society" to discredit the markedly better life offered by America as opposed to the USSR is nothing more than propaganda. I really wish I could have enjoyed this movie, but it is garbage.

What a simp reviewed piece of hot garbage this is. Wonder Woman is a man hating lesbian who makes a point no less than 6 times through the movie to point out how terrible men are and how superior women are, and that alllll the problems of the world are due to men. Anti capitalist, pro leftist/communist even though they try misdirection to make you think otherwise. Absolute cringe. Of course its 100 percent on Rotten Tomatoes. Please also see Batwoman, Dr. Who and other piles of hot dog vomit

I'm upset that they give the completely alternate ending. It was awesome in the comics. This comic diverged from that and basically ruined it for me. All the dumbasses bitching about how it's a leftist communist Superman....DUH! Have you not read the comic of this? Good lord, you must be stupid peoples... Anyhow, it more or less stays true to the comic. But completely betrays it during the Final Act. Totally sours it because it was a poignant and great ending in the comic version. Worst of the DCAU yet.
