    Last week I got the chance to read Superman: Red Son and Batman: Gotham by Gaslight. Those books were amazing, and stayed true to what makes them who they are despite being in a different setting/year/etc. Though it has been years since I read a Superman book(because I'm not a big Superman fan) I still found Red Son to be a great story.  It's not really a new story or anything but if your into elseworlds or alternate takes on heroes I must say pick these two up. Gotham by Gaslight was also very interesting but seemed to be a bit lacking compared to Red Son...but don't take that as a diss on the book. Both were great and now I want to read the Crisis story arc and the Batman 1,000,000 series

    I read the Red Son book as well and found it intresting.  Still looking for the Batman one. 
    I personally suggest picking up the Elseworlds/"What if" type books even if you don't usually like the character represented in it (like Supermen:Red Son).  They show new takes on those heros/villains to make them intresting again. :) 
     
    I think you'll enjoy the Crisis.
