| May 13, 2021 at 15:09 | comment | added | Darrel Hoffman | Invincible (or The Boys or Watchmen) isn't really a spoof of any specific story though, just a reimagining of superhero stories in general (and it can be funny at times). Something like Brightburn might be a closer example (sticking to the superhero genre). While not officially a Superman retelling, it basically is that, only what if Superman was evil? | |
