It's a very untapped concept. I've loved the majority of stories that delve into good versions of villains, but we always just end up seeing evil superman.
Just make him a Nazi experiment who turned on his masters and became a guerrilla fighter against them, have his Red Skull theme become a symbol of fear against the masters he was made to serve

I never knew that one. Who would be the hardest to do as a hero version? Probably Red Skull
How about... >Joined the NSDAP because at this point this was the only political career opportunity in Germany >Starts genuinely hopeful that their reforms will bring out a better future for the people, loyalty gets him promoted >Higher-ranked now, gets inside info on the final solution and sees the sheer corruption in the ranks >Starts planning a coup
A harder one would be for a world where not just the heroes and villains, but everyone's switched are flipped. Heroic Hitler.

Red Hood's better.
Red Hood has a lot of material already
>Good content
>In this timeline
Sorry boys, but the world's not about to let use have anything nice for a good long while yet.
I wished we saw the heroes of Earth-3 a lot more period. The Crime Syndicate is overrated, I want to see the good versions of villains instead.

Literally this. Would love to see heroic versions of villains. Shame DC forgot about making their comics good and interesting
I want to see a hero version of Darkseid
High Father. He's so authoritative that he stoke the white lantern ring.

Then what is Captain America? A secret agent for the Nazis?
In this world America would be the eugenics extremist nation committing genocide
I see.

How is that different than reality?

Kino.
Fuck the word content. Just say stories. That’s what people mean when they say content, they mean stories, or dare I say art.
Content is a component of art, stories, etc, whether it means someone wants a full comic book, an animated feature, a deep dive, author's notes, etc.
But ultimately, yeah you're right, it's stories people want.
Owlman wouldn't have this problem if he would just rape the Jester.
Why doesn't he?
Because it doesn't matter
The jester who frowns
>his monkey is named Harley

Is this from that new Legion of Super Heroes movie? Is it any good?
It's from Crisis on Two Earths
