Because it’s an always exciting, edgy, original idea. 30 times Superman has been evil/mind controlled/ otherwise marketed as “guess what?! now he’s scary!”
Justice Lords Superman
Red Kryptonite Smallville
Black Kryptonite, All Star
Twice in the Animated series
Hush
Superman the Dark Side
Twice Eclipsoed
Twice Jokerized
Once Cheetahed
3 times by Bryne not including the sex tape issue (look it up if you don’t know. I’m not talking about it)
Dc Comics Presents #17
Earth 2. Before you go “actually..” no I’m not counting other Bizarros, Ultraman, Prime, Black Zero, Cyborg Superman, Nazi Superman, Eradicator, so on so on. This was marketed so long as evil scary Superman I gotta count it
Speaking of elseworlds
3 fun retro examples
Darkseid War
Controlled by Maxwell Lord
Superman 3
Knightmare
Trigon possessed
Injustice of course
Superman/ Batman Absolute Power
Not by DC but counting because again the premise being blatantly “get this wild idea! What if he had a bit of an edge to em”
Anyway I’d play that Suicide Squad game. Looks fun. Looks like there’s lots of cool Superman stuff in it if not Superman’s character.
