My favorite by far was Superman: Speeding Bullets! That was the first Elseworlds I bought and I fell in love with the series after that; buying every one I could get my hands on. ;-)
Synopsis: Baby Kal-El crashes into Earth, where he is discovered by Thomas and Martha Wayne. The couple adopt Kal-El, and name him Bruce. One night, Thomas and Martha are gunned down by a mugger. Bruce incinerates the mugger with his heat vision and discovers his superpowers, but it is too late to save his parents. He represses the knowledge of powers in shame. -
Years later, Bruce has become a recluse, hiding out in Wayne Manor. His super-hearing forces him to be aware of all crimes in Gotham, and Bruce obsessively collects newspaper clippings of violent crimes around the world. Armed robbers break into the Manor and take Alfred hostage. Bruce, in a violent fury, remembers his powers and attacks them. -
Alfred takes Bruce to a cave under the manor, showing him his ship and revealing Bruce-s alien origins. Meanwhile, the robbers return to their employer, who kills them for their failure. As the Batman, Bruce begins to brutally strike back at the criminals in Gotham. -
Lex Luthor, a Metropolis-based industrialist who survived a life-threatening industrial accident the year before, moves LexCorp headquarters to Gotham and organises a buyout of Wayne Enterprises. To the shock of everyone, Bruce arrives just as the contract is about to be signed and shuts down the deal, announcing that he will take personal control of the day-to-day running of his businesses going forward. -
Bruce purchases the Gotham Gazette and poaches Perry White and Lois Lane from the Daily Planet, which has become a mouthpiece for Luthor. Lois gains a great respect for Wayne-s passion and idealism as a publisher, and he in turn is smitten with her. Weeks later, Batman rescues Lois from a gang of assailants. Horrified at the vicious superpowered beating he delivers, she angrily rebuffs him when he tries to help her up. -
Late at night, Lois writes an editorial criticising Batman-s brutal conduct. Lex arrives to kidnap Lois and reveals that the chemical accident he suffered has bleached his skin chalk-white, turned his lips ruby-red and driven him insane (strongly resembling a bald Joker. He reveals he has used his vast fortune to attempt a total military take over of the continental United States, with a huge army of heavily armed mercenaries and armoured vehicles simultaneously assaulting all major cities. Batman stops the takeover and confronts Lex/Joker, who seems to care very little at his failed coup and all the loss of life it has caused. -
Bruce is eventually persuaded by Lois Lane that a more hopeful superhero is needed than his dark, violent Batman persona, giving rise to his new, more heroic identity of Superman.

Love you. I mean. Love the video, Roya. Superman Red Son would make an EPIC movie. It is my absolute favorite alternative to Superman, even better than Injustice Superman and I love the Injustice universe. I still want the writers to make a sequel to the story. Red Son Superman survived and other characters were Flash Point Paradox level altered. I would love to see some sequels to that comic in that alternative universe or even cross-overs, like Red Son Superman somehow slipping into the prime universe.

Please make a video thats just history of different characters or a deep delve. I know you do -Surprising Facts- but some of those are dull. And maybe make those videos one of Rons because all the comments when Roya is host is just -Omg shes hot- I mean. pretty sure she's a lesbo.

I'd love to read that western one and I hoped to find the Gaslight one at Barnes and Nobles because I have seen that name there before. But they didn't have it this time.

Wait a minute. the world's first and awesomest Elseworlds story is ranked #4? Exactly why isn't a hard hitting story like Batman: Gotham by gaslight ranked #1?
