Bleeding Cool’s Will Romine has just seen the DC animated movie version of Mike Mignola and Brian Augustyn‘s Batman story Gotham By Gaslight, premiering at the DC In DC event tonight. He says it’s awesome and we look forward to a more verbose review later. But he also reports that Warner Bros’ Bruce Timm says he wants to do Red Son as an animated film next, another Elseworlds-stye story, this time focusing on Superman – a Superman whose fleeing spaceship from Krypton landed several hours later than on the DC Earth – and so hit a collective farm in Soviet Russia rather than Kansas. And gives us a communist Superman, in the full knowledge that Stalin means Man Of Steel…. Written by Wanted/Kick-Ass/Kingsman‘s Mark Millar and drawn by Dave Johnson and Killian Plunkett over many years, it was finally published in 2003. In 2013, James Tucker expressed interest in making an animated movie adaptation of Red Son for DC Universe Animated Original Movies. In 2017, Jordan Vogt-Roberts pitched a Red Son adaptation to Warner Brothers, as an “offshoot” of the DC Extended Universe with different actors for Superman and Batman, but “was told no.” Mark Millar responded by saying that two friends of his had been approached by WB to direct a live-action Red Son. Well, now it seems the ball is in Bruce Timm’s court. He said that if Gotham By Gaslight does well, showing an audience for animated parallel dimension stories, then he wants to do Red Son next. Will Warners let him? www.bleedingcool.com/2018/01/12/bruce-timm-superman-red-son-animated-movie/

Bruce Timm will show Batman having sex instead of fighting Russian Superman. Or Superman bending over for sex with Batman. (But really, one unneeded scene destroys 15-20 years of work? Wow...)

I thought they announced a red son movie already. There were only rumours, really. Or at least speculation for many years. Now remembering, I think there was speculation of a live action Red Son movie but I could have mixed the two up.

Can they make the ending not be hokey as hell?
Interesting concept, really good 2 1/2 issues. That last ten pages or so? Woof.

Timm please go away After screwing up Killing Joke, I don't want to see Red Son ruined Again I say, wow. Who would have thought Timm would inspire the same reactions as, say, Zack Snyder? Up until TKJ, he was seen as a possible savior for things DC. Was the sex scene in TKJ his "Frank Miller Snap" moment?

That entire opening sequence with Batgirl was really tacked on and didn't add anything to the story at best. Not that Timm's fascination with making Barbara and Bruce hookup helped... in "trying to make it a Barbara story" they made her come off much worse than if they just did the story proper (and she wasn't treated particularly well in Killing Joke) Instead of being a trusted partner in crimefighting... she was a jilted girl with a crush.

Also, a key part of The Killing Joke was how the abuse of Commissioner Gordon was particularly geared at Barbara. It didn't really have that gravity. It felt more like torture porn than emotional.

Bruce Timm wants to know how he can make another daughter figure sleep with Batman.
Bruce Timm is an old creep who should go live in shame somewhere that I can't hear his name.

I'm really glad that this is Timm's reputation now.
You deserve it, you old creep.

It's one I've long wondered why they weren't doing, though I can't claim to be personally that enthusiastic about it.
Then again that goes for most of that line of animated movies honestly. Some like Under the Red Hood and Superman vs. The Elite are classics but it's been a long time since there's been one that was particularly good and even in their can't-do-wrong days a lot of them like Gotham Knight and Wonder Woman are meh at best.
