Superman/Batman Public Enemies 2009



This week I will review the latest DC Universe film Superman/Batman Public Enemies. It is the sixth film from the DC Universe original films. It features an array of hero's and villains that go up against Superman and Batman. It stars the voices of Tim Daly, Kevin Conroy and Clancy Brown, each provided the iconic voices of Superman,Batman and Lex Luthor in the 1990's Batman The Animated Series and Superman The Animated Series.


The plot starts off with the collapse of the global economy and with the election of Lex Luthor of the President of the United States. Gradually things start getting back to normal, that is until a meteor made of kryptonite is discovered heading towards earth. Lex decides that he needs Superman's help to destroy it. However when Superman meets up with Luthor, he decides to frame Superman for the death of Metallo. With the help of Batman he has to clear his name and stop the meteor from destroying the planet. Lex announces a bounty on Superman in the amount of 1 billion dollars. With that every super villain decides to cash in on the Man of Steel and his partner in crime Batman. This film was once again produced by Bruce Timm. It features most of the DC universe characters. It is mostly an action packed 67 minutes. It is rated 12's not due to the nature of the story but of the fight sequences that take place. It doesn't let the audience catch their breath and all of the 67 minutes is used up greatly. It features amazing voice acting by the three actors I mentioned above and great action scenes. There is also the bonus of seeing the robot that is a mixture of the designs of Batman and Superman. I give this film 9/10 overall. Next week I will be reviewing The X Files Movie.
