I didn't expect Wonder Woman to be canonized as lesbian and Superman as asexual in a movie where Superman is a communist trying to take over the world but I'll take representation wherever it comes

Note to Self - Word Balloons: A Study

(No spoilers, don't worry)

14 total comics to compare against, across genres with half as traditionally printed comics and half from webcomics. While not an exhaustive list, should be enough to start to give some idea about preferences.

Text Type: Either fully capitalized (EXAMPLE) or with mixed case (Example)

All Caps versus Mixed Case

Mixed Case vs. ALL CAPS for all comics

Mixed Case vs. ALL CAPS for Traditional Printed Comics AND for all webcomics (same results)

A slight preference for the traditional method of writing out word balloons with text in all caps

Spacing Between Text and Outer Balloons

Min Spacing versus Regular Spacing versus Max Spacing

Spacing between text and outer balloon for all comics

Traditional comics are basically evenly split between a normal spacing (about the width of a letter) and min spacing (which leaves essentially no room between the text and the balloon)

Traditional comics slightly tend toward a minimizing the spacing between the text and the balloon

Spacing between text and outer balloons for webcomics

Webcomics are split between between a normal spacing (about the width of a letter) and extra spacing (which can sometimes double or triple the distance between the text and the balloon). Webcomics slightly tend towards adding additional space between the text and the word balloon

Word Balloons Within or Outside the Panels

Within Panel versus Outside Panel

Whether word balloon (typically) lie entirely within or can exist outside the strict space of the panel

This is perhaps the most obvious difference between webcomics and traditional comics. All traditional comics in this set only have word balloons that lie within the panel, while all the webcomics typically have there word balloons lie outside their panels

Conclusion

As reductive as it sounds, the overall conclusion is that any combination of word balloon choices are well represented in both traditional and webcomics. The only noticeable difference is that webcomics tend to take greater advantage of the negative space between panels by moving their word ballons out of the panel borders

“what if Superman was adopted by the Soviets” “what if Superman was adopted by the Nazis” well what if he was adopted into an alien conspiracy doomsday cult. what about that. Why’s it always fascism with you people why can’t you let him be evil in a silly way

Superman Red Son Redesign

I never understood why Communist Superman wore black given that red and yellow were the symbolic colors of the Soviet Union.

PS I loved both the Superman comic book and the film Red Son but I just couldn't get it out of my mind that Superman made no sense everything here seems more like his nazi overman version than a socialist version of the man of steel

How batman acts with his variants

-

This is so unfinished it was supposed to be like a comparison batman v superman on how they treat their alternative selfves with batman being mostly chill with his and superman always beating the fuck out of his whenever he meets a alternative of himself but I lost motivation to finish this, thought I would post it anyways tho

The image inspo:

[cacklingskeleton]

Superhero Elseworld stories are either:

The most profound superhero story you’ve ever read

Super corny but fun

Something so out of character and edgy it spawns dozens of clickbait youtube videos about “the darkest story in comics”

Red Son Batman by David López

Joseph Stalin was born as Iosif Vissarionovich Dzhugashvili (Иосиф Виссарионович Джугашвили) on December 18, 1878, in Gori, Georgia, which was then part of the Russian Empire. His surname, "Dzhugashvili," is of Georgian origin, and his first name, Iosif (Joseph), is derived from the Russian form of the Hebrew name Yosef.

Stalin adopted his pseudonym around 1912 while he was involved in revolutionary activities with the Bolsheviks. The name Stalin comes from the Russian word сталь (stal'), meaning "steel," symbolizing toughness, resilience, and strength. It reflected his desire to portray himself as a hardened revolutionary leader, a man who was unbreakable and unwavering in the fight for communism.

Before settling on "Stalin," he used other pseudonyms, including Koba, a name drawn from Georgian folklore, symbolizing a heroic outlaw who fights for justice. Stalin's decision to adopt "Stalin" marked a more strategic and revolutionary identity, emphasizing his role as a strong and unyielding figure in the Bolshevik movement.

In short i just really like that his name (or nickname to be accurate) means Man of Steel. Unlike the Western ideal of Superman, who fights injustice individually and in the abstract, Stalin's legacy lies in collective action and the material advancement of Soviet society. The Soviet Union was transformed into a world power that inspired revolutionary movements across the globe. leadership during the Great Patriotic War (World War II) was a defining moment where the Soviet people, under his forsight and command, withstood and ultimately defeated Nazi Germany. A true "Superman" of his time.
