Have you ever read https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superman%3A_Red_Son ?

I'm not a big fan of Superman stuff, but I found that one to be pretty interesting.

    It's a good one. That one and All-Star Superman are the two I always recommend to people.

    All-Star is what made me change my mind on Superman. I never really liked him when I was younger, and it was for all the same complaints that people have already listed above. But All-Star was a blast to read, not in spite of it's (at times) cheesiness, but because of it. All-Star Superman is relatable because he embodies the best traits in all of us; he is incredibly intelligent and kind, leveled and patient. Without going into spoilers, I think what I love most about All-Star is that it shows that even the best among us have our weaknesses, and that it's not the huge, planet-level threats that define who are and what we do, but the small, innocuous things that can most affect who we are in the moment.

    All star Superman the DC movie is easily the most hilarious thing I've ever seen. Every moment is dumber than the one before it. I laughed so hard I nearly died. Seriously go get messed up and watch it with your friends!

    It definitely wasn't one of DC's best adaptions. They really tried to squeeze too much in for the run time. They totally could have dropped the whole Atlas and Samson thing and concentrated more on the main story.
