Heroic BSoD: When Superman finds out that Stalin was working Soviet civilians to death, he's completely disillusioned. He gets an even stronger one when he finally realizes he's turning out no different from Brainiac, and by extension, from what Stalin himself called him at the beginning. | |

Tempting Fate | |
| Superman: Red Son / int_15b2cab3 | comment |
Tempting Fate: Stalin says that his actions are a necessary evil as certain people must die for the Soviet system to work. Superman replies, "Wise words" and kills him. Superman dismisses Superior Man as a propaganda stunt to make him afraid, which he's certainly not. Superior Man turns up moments later and gives him a nasty shock, with Lex noting that he actually saw fear in Superman's eyes while fighting him. After Batman threatens to blow up the museum, the guide calls everyone to evacuate in an orderly fashion as there is more than enough time—(bomb goes off). | |

"It" Is Dehumanizing: Due to his artificial nature, Superior Man is viewed by Luthor as little more than a tool to test Superman's power instead of a thinking, living being. This mindset disgusts Lois, and she chews him out after he makes it clear he knowingly sent Superior Man to his death. | |

Adaptational Villainy | |
| Superman: Red Son / int_20f689e9 | comment |
Adaptational Villainy: While Batman in the comic wasn't above murder, in the movie he kills everyone inside the Superman museum as he destroys it. Superman himself no longer follows Thou Shalt Not Kill as he did in the source material, making him comparatively more ruthless, although he does later try to enforce nonlethal tactics. The character of Pyotr Roslov is also removed as a Hate Sink for the worst aspects of the Soviet system; once Stalin dies, everything that happens is Superman's responsibility. Superman even kills Stalin himself to take control of the Soviet Union, whereas in the comic Roslov was implied to have done it. | |

Mythology Gag | |
| Superman: Red Son / int_26ac510e | comment |
Mythology Gag: Superior Man is used as a puppet by Luthor and self-destructs upon reaching critical mass, much like in All-Star Superman. Captain John Stewart yells "Light 'em up!" while leading the Corps' charge against Superman, in a similar manner to his Justice League Unlimited counterpart in the episode "The Return" when the Justice League attempted to defend Earth from Amazo. Bonus points for Phil LaMarr reprising his role as John. Similarly, Superman killing Stalin with his heat vision is reminiscent of how Justice Lord!Superman kills President Luthor in "A Better World" (except that this time we see it happen on-screen). In a video demonstration in the museum tour, one of the students in a classroom resembles Sherman from Batman: The Animated Series episode "I've Got Batman in My Basement". An African-American Jimmy Olsen who prefers to be called James. | |

Rapid Aging: Batman ties up Diana with the lasso of truth. Diana ends up breaking it in order to save Superman and stop Batman. Because the lasso is tied to her own lifeforce, she quickly becomes older and much weaker. After spending some time back in Themyscira, she gets better, though the white hair stays. | |

Adaptational Heroism | |
| Superman: Red Son / int_3f45f1e6 | comment |
Adaptational Heroism: Lex starts out much as he usually is, but after Superman's supposed death, he has an epiphany, gracefully resigns as US President, and promises the government will aid the soon-to-fall Soviet Empire in becoming a set of free nations. This stands in stark opposition to the comic, where he takes over Superman’s empire and transforms it into the future Krypton. And while he's shown to be a neglectful husband and all-around arrogant jerkass in the comic, in the movie he is a good husband to Lois, showing genuine regret over forgetting their anniversary, as well as remorse after Lois chews him out on purposefully sending Superior Man to his death. As a side-effect of their romance being removed, Wonder Woman does not undergo the Woman Scorned Face–Heel Turn that she did in the comics. Instead of joining in on Luthor's attack on Superman in the climax of the film, she tries to broker peace between the two warring nations. It's not until Superman tries to attack her first that she actually turns on him, and even then she decides to wash her hands of the conflict entirely. | |

Siding with the Suffering | |

Siding with the Suffering: An Alternate Universe exploration of the last son of Krypton coming to Earth, not in a Kansas wheat field, rather in a Soviet potato farm. He becomes the protege of Josef Stalin, and fervently believes in the Marxist manifesto. That is, until Intrepid Reporter Lois Lane points Superman to Siberian labor camps where disease and despair are rampant, and the mortality rate is about 45%. Upon seeing such misery inflicted on Soviet citizens, Superman confronts his mentor. Perestroika began early in this alternate Soviet Union. | |

Today, X. Tomorrow, the World! | |
| Superman: Red Son / int_6ea8ff42 | comment |
Today, X. Tomorrow, the World!: Superman helps the communist forces conquer South Korea in just three hours. He then gives a New Era Speech saying he's come not to conquer the Koreans but to give them a better life. He then adds that what he offers to the Korean people, he offers to the entire world. In fairness, Superman resists conquering the world by force because he wants to prove the superiority of the Communist system and figures the Western democracies will collapse on their own. Even when President Lex Luthor revitalizes the capitalist system, he only attacks after Lex launches the first strike. | |

Broken Pedestal: Superman finally sees Stalin's benevolent facade for it the lie it is, after he finds one of his underground gulags, and reunites with Svetlana, who ends up dying in his arms. His confrontation with Stalin afterwards only confirms to him that his father figure really is a ruthless dictator, and he ends up killing him in response. Diana loses faith in man's world after seeing the brutality that Superman is capable of and that man's world is resistant to her attempts at trying to build peace. As a result, the Themyscirans decide to cut themselves off from the rest of the world... forever. | |

Lex starts out much as he usually is, but after Superman's supposed death, he has an epiphany, gracefully resigns as US President, and promises the government will aid the soon-to-fall Soviet Empire in becoming a set of free nations. This stands in stark opposition to the comic, where he takes over Superman’s empire and transforms it into the future Krypton. And while he's shown to be a neglectful husband and all-around arrogant jerkass in the comic, in the movie he is a good husband to Lois, showing genuine regret over forgetting their anniversary, as well as remorse after Lois chews him out on purposefully sending Superior Man to his death. | |

We Can Rule Together: Superman makes this offer to Diana when he thinks she's romantically attracted to him, though he's not offended when she refuses. Rather than help Superman rule the world, she offers to be a peace broker between the US and the Soviet Union. Superman refuses however, convinced that time will show the natural superiority of his system of government, and out of fear that Lex will convince her to turn against him. | |

Well-Intentioned Extremist: How Stalin sees himself, and how he tries to justify imprisoning innocent people in gulags and working them to death. Superman doesn't buy it even for a second, and kills him. Superman himself is a more straightforward example. While he starts off by killing whoever opposes him, he eventually turns to non-violent methods, getting other countries to join the Soviet Union through diplomacy instead of war, and brainwashing insurgents instead of executing them or imprisoning them in gulags. | |
