Format:DVD
When i learnt that there was going to be another Supes/bats animation again,i thought Dc wasnt going to pull it off. why? from what i saw of the trailer,the artwork had changed form the usual batman anmimated series 70's look to a more concentrated look to it.But i was wrong.The story really delivers.Unlike almost every Dc animation that i have seen,Public enemies is really Packed with great battles (loved the face off between superman and shazam)with almost every villain and hero you can think of in the DC universe.
Get this.you wont regret it.
*keep an eyeout for Bane he makes a brief appearance!

I'm a big, big fan of Warner Brothers superhero animation but this particular outing just wasn't good enough. Compared to the dizzy heights of Batman: The Animated Series, Justice League/Justice League Unlimited and the more recent DTV (direct to 'video') Superman: Doomsday, Wonder Woman and Green Lantern: First Flight titles, Superman/Batman: Public Enemies is pretty poor.
One of the reasons I didn't personally like it was the adherence to the art style of original comic book series artist, Ed McGuinness' art style - Power Girl looked odd and Superman, in profile, look like Archie from the Archie comics!
While the basic plot was strong, there weren't enough superpowered characters in it for my liking. The bumping off of XXXXX was well handled but the ending where XXXX survives a nuclear explosion almost had me reaching for the off button on my DVD remote, however. Not enough scope here, I'd say.
I ordered my copy of Superman/Batman: Public Enemies through Amazon UK and being a Region 2 (UK & Europe) DVD, the extras on this Amazon-only exclusive were underwhelming. Anyone who has most of these WB/DC animated features will have seen the likes of teasers for Green Lantern: First Flight, Wonder Woman and Superman/Doomsday repeated over a dozen discs already. The feature on the DC Comics Blackest Night comic books crossover series is already past its sell by date and should be removed from future presentations. There are no new DC Universe animated shorts here highlighting someone like the Spectre or Jonah Hex, either (maybe I should upgrade to Bluray. And a HD ready TV. Yeah, spending three or four hundred pounds just to watch a bunch of indifferent WB superhero films is a great idea!) so, for just the main feature itself, no commentary, making of or related extra features, it's not great value for money on R2 DVD.
Not every WB Premiere Entertainment DVD is going to be great but Superman/Batman: Public Enemies didn't even have the advantage of being based on a particularly good comic book storyline, in the first place. You'll want the latest WB cartoon feature for that, All Star Superman, based on the recent Grant Morrison and Frank Quitely twelve issue maxi-series of the same name (incidentally, their SECOND animated tribute. The first being last year's Justice League: Crisis on Two Earths animated adventure).
Recommended but don't pay more than double figures for it! Unless it's the feature packed R1 (i.e., American) Blu-ray, of course.

Format:DVD
i gotta say,i thoroughly enjoyed this animated offering from DC/Warner
Premiere.the animation was top notch.the voice acting was terrific.the
fight scenes were outstanding.in fact,the movie was basically just one
big long fight scene after another with a veritable rogue's gallery of
DC Villains all lining up to take on Superman and Batman.of course,the
story takes a huge back seat in this case,other than a brief set up at
the beginning.and the movie is short,clocking in at just over an hour
not including end credits.normally i prefer a little story depth to my
movies,but i got caught up in the action on this one.however,if you do
prefer a more fleshed out storyline,you might be disappointed in this
one.for me,Superman/Batman: Public Enemies is a 4/5
