Superman/Batman: Public Enemies (2009)

In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

Essentially, Superman/Batman: Public Enemies is just a vehicle to get Superman and Batman to fight a variety of other different DC characters. The plot is very stretched out, even at 75 minutes. However, even though it's not that good, seeing Batman and Superman fighting together still appealed to the little kid in me.

I remember watching this film and thinking of how awesome it was watching Superman fighting the Terminator no seriously that scene alone was awesome and the thing that they send a whole army to catch them was pretty funny since they both unleashed a Chuck Norris power and destroyed them all especially Bane who was defeated in around 3 seconds. I think Batman/ Superman Public Enemies is a pretty underrated film and for what it is for a DC Comics Animated Movie was pretty cool and i would definitely see this again or even get in on DVD because Batman Rules. At the end i thought this film was pretty good despite on what some people might thought.

This is one of the latest efforts from DC and WB. It tells the story of a DC universe where Lex Luthor is elected President (I wonder where they got that idea). Of course he bought the election and although some superheroes begin working for the government, Superman doesn't buy it. He knows there's something more to this story than a crook gone straight.Superman is aided by Batman. Let me tell you the voice work from Superman and Batman is great, as well as the animation. They're a similar body type but you can really tell the difference between the two characters in this movie, from seeing or from hearing them. Also there were some complaints about too many superheroes making cameos but I really liked that part.There is some language and sexual content (mostly implied) which I wouldn't feel comfortable showing to a young child. But I've got to say, Power Girl looks amazing. She really pops :).Whats on display in this movie is the relationship between Superman and Batman. They're friends, best friends as Superman puts it. The camaraderie between them really works. They joke back and forth and jest each other. There are some funny moments in this film, also the final scene is very sweet.My only complaint about this movie is that it wasn't very emotionally weighty, you'd think a Kryptonite meteor bound for Earth that could kill billions would make us feel like there's more on the line.All in all, this is a good direct to disk feature. Its certainly worth a rent and maybe even worth adding to your collection.

The sixth movie in DC's straight to DVD animated movies is possibly the most endearing...and the most frustrating.Based on a six issue comic story of the same name, it finds the world's two greatest heroes are turned into fugitives by Lex Luthor, now President of the United States,when Superman is framed for murder as a giant Kryptonite meteor plummets toward Earth. The duo have to fend off villains after the reward on Superman's head and heroes with orders to bring him in as they try to find way to stop the meteor and clear Supes.I'll get the "frustrating" parts out of the way. First, there's the length of the film. While the previous DC animated movies were 75 minutes or so, this one is only 67 minutes (less if you don't count the credits). The character designs are a little strange, with many of the men being really muscular with overly smooth faces (Captian Atom and Major Force look like ventriloquist dummies overdosed on steroids). The two main female characters fare even less well, with Amanda Waller bloated and downright grotesque and Powergirl sporting big anime style eyes that take up half her face and a "disproportioned" chest. But there's blame to go around since character designs are based on those of comic artist Ed McGuiness. And it caters a little too much to fans of the comics in the way a number of characters show up and get in on the action without even being called by name & don't even ask about back stories, which may confuse more casual viewers who are unfamiliar with DC Comics and its characters.Now for the "endearing" qualities. It may be short but it doesn't waste a second of its run time, giving us one awesome, kick ass action scene after another as our title heroes take on all comers (watching Superman and the power armor wearing Luthor go at it is quite a show), as well as how they deal with the meteor. The animation is very good, though the computer animation thrown in conflicts with the rest of the art. The dialog is lively and smart and the voice acting is top notch, with Superman, Batman and Luthor being voiced by the actors who played them wonderfully in several cartoon series (Tim Daily, Kevin Conroy and Clancy Brown, respectively). And there's something amusing about about hearing Allison Mack (Chole Sullivan from the TV show "Smallville") as Powergirl. And if you are a fan of the comics, you'll be amazed by all the characters that pop up.It has some annoying flaws, but with so much superhero action I'll recommend it wholeheartedly.
