Superman Batman Public Enemies Animated Movie


Superman Batman Public Enemies

The arc that started the monthly series Superman Batman is now an animated movie by DC Animation studios. The movie is about not only just a team up of Superman and Batman but the friendship that they share as well. In the movie Superman and Batman are trying to come up with a way to stop a meteor ( AKA a falling piece of the long dead world of Krypton) that is going to hit earth. But this is in a time when Lex Luthor is president and has his own team of superheros and his own ways to stop the meteor.

Story- 5 out of 5: The movie is based the story arc that firs appeared in Superman Batman #1 that was written by Jeph Loeb. The movie had a few changes here and there, but overall the changes that were made didn't take away from the story that was the movie was outlining. The main characters in the movie were well written and very much seemed to go well with the other characters in the movie.

Voice acting -5 out of 5: The cast of the DC animation cartoons of the 90's are back. yes for all purposes Kevin Conroy is Batman. It's an added bonus that should sell any fan of the Batman animated series, Superman Animated Series, and the Justice league and the JLU cartoons. Also any fans of Smallville will notice Allison Mack plays Power Girl.

Animation - 3 out of 5 : Now I'm not huge into way too cartoony art as some of you might remember from previous post here before, but hey to each their own what I might not like some might. So that said the look of this animated movie was way too cartoonish for the story. Not that it took away from it but to me the look and feel of the animation just wasn't the caliber of the story.

Overall - 4 out of 5 : DC Animation strikes again with another great animated movie. I look forward for more stuff to come from them in the future. The movie had the feel of the 90's cartoon series due to great voice actors, the story was very good in this adaption and there was no slow down point in this story at all. Once the story picked it's steam it pretty much stayed that way. Although the animation wasn't that great in my opinion some might like it but it wont make this animated movie unwatchable.
