Superman/Batman: Public Enemies is a really decent awesome DC animated movie! I really enjoy this film, more than Man of Steel and the new horrible DC Zack Snyder's film Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice! This is the real Superman/Batman movie in here our two superhero's teams up together to stop Lex Luthor and the meteor destroying our world. In here Superman and Batman does not kill people, Batman wanted to kill those guards, but Superman didn't allowed it. In this movie you have a heart, justice and hope! So yea I love this flick it is a fun film to watch. This is a real good movie, the animation fit the characters, the characters look good! The film is not too long, you have only 1 hr. and 4 Mins. long without credits.Plot: When Lex Luthor gets elected US President, he uses the threat of an oncoming kryptonite meteor striking Earth as a rationale to frame Superman.The story is about more Lex Luthor and America is going downhill people are losing jobs and the economics falls down. Pretty much Lex Luthor becomes president that is where the story starts. So we have Tim Daly as Superman, Kevin Conroy as Batman, Clancy Brown as Lex Luthor and Lex Luthor has his own group of superheroes, who's powers will be used for America for good, it is like hey if you want to volunteer to be part of us be my guest, but no one is going to be above the law anymore. It takes place couple of months after that, Luthor is been president, America is been turned around and been doing good, there is this meteor/kryptonite coming down to earth and Luthor is like I don't need superheroes and I got all the calculations and I am going to do this. Later we found out that Luthor is and always was insane, his taking this kryptonite gun and putting this stuff in his arm like steroids, he thinks he can take care of this problem and he will get all the credits for him self. First we see Superman chasing down this car that flips over and Superman actually saves people in here he saves people.Superman doesn't want to admit that Luthor did a good job, because he doesn't trust Luthor. Since Luthor comes in to presidency crime is been down and things are going well, but Superman doesn't want to admit it and I really don't blame him. Even when he talks to Batman he still says "I don't trust this guy." Luthor wants Superman to meet him, he does and of course it is a trap and you have Metallo, Metallo is there and superman goes in to a big fight with Metallo and I thought it was really well done fight and the animation was good. That is what I like about this film! This film is pretty much a lot of action, Superman and batman beating other super heroes who are a treat and are working for Luthor. Superman goes in to a big fight with Metallo he is shot with kryptonite and he falls down on graveyard and Batman saves him and he try's to get the bullet out of Superman and they both on a run and Superman is accused of murdering Metallo of course he didn't do it and Batman stood's with by and cheers him up. Batman says they both have to stop that Meteor I love the wend when a Toyman creates a rocket launcher and super Luthor wants to stop our hero and Batman fly's there alone and Superman says "That was my best friend and you just killed him"! than he gets mad and he punches Luthor out and that hard on the end Batman destroys the Meteor and Superman saves him.Overall: I love Superman/Batman: Public Enemies DC Animated Film it is a decent awesome super hero movie.

I'm following the items on this list (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DC_Universe_Animated_Original_Movies) by chronological order. And "Superman/Batman: Public Enemies" is purely targeting to kids by compare. The graphic, the plot, and dialog are childish.The action sequel is composed only the fist fight, occasionally with razor beam, much like a pre-K's fantasy. There is no tactical, threat, real objective. I don't like to watch a movie that brings the line "those are civilian, let's crash them".In the end, I rate it 1/10 because I do not enjoy watching this hour long video, not even a slightly joy.

Just finished watching it.I usually love DC animation movies. This one had a decent plot. With the right producing and directing they could have made a great movie with this plot... but the art style and animation are a big let-down. This really feels like something that was made back in the late 90s/early 2000s... I still have a hard time believing this was made in 2009. I look at "The Dark Knight Returns" films, which were made with the exact same budget, and the art/animation is vastly superior in those titles. Hardly even comparable.I generously give "Superman/Batman: Public Enemies" a 6/10. For the plot and because I'm a big DC fan. If you are looking for a visual feast, you will be disappointed.

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.
