I never saw this coming.
I’ve read the SUPERMAN/BATMAN story of PUBLIC ENEMIES, but I never assumed that WB/DC animation would actually go through with adapting it as a straight-to-DVD work. Hopefully if is done with the same magic that produced SUPERMAN/DOOMSDAY, BATMAN: GOTHAM KNIGHT, WONDER WOMAN (WB/DC get wise: a sequel is needed, or at least an animated series) and hopefully with GREEN LANTERN: FIRST FLIGHT, it will be a winner.
If anything, aside from the TRINITY (soon to be adapted to DVD in the future, most likely), here is hoping DC and the WB Animation studios will take a look of these other heroes/characters and give them a greenlight for a potential shot for their own animated flicks down the road:
1. AQUAMAN
2. THE FLASH
3 JONAH HEX
4. THE DOOM PATROL
5. SGT. ROCK
6. JUSTICE LEAGUE: TOWER OF BABEL
7. THE FOURTH WORLD TRILOGY: THE NEW GODS, THE FOREVER PEOPLE, MISTER MIRACLE
8. SWAMP THING
9. THE WARLORD
10. ADAM STRANGE
11. CRISIS ON INFINATE EARTHS
12. KINGDOM COME
One more added dream project that I hope both the heads of both WB/DC Animation and Marvel Animation will consider: a DVD crossover event. Hopefully someone will get a clue and make this happen.

This mediocre (at best) movie comes to a grinding halt in the third act when a child prodigy (generic anime styled character) is revealed to have built a giant robot to help Supes and Batman stop a meteor heading towards earth. What does the robot look like? HALF Superman and HALF Batman- split right down the middle. AWFUL!

Our family watches all the DC cartoons. We are spoiled by the good animation of Justice League and Superman. This animation was not nearly that calabre, the previews were very deceptive. Thank goodness they used the original voices, or this would have seemed even more low budget. The worst part was the swearing -at regular intervals. Don’t buy this for the kids.

Am I the only one who is annoyed that DC is churning out these movies with just enough adult content that I can’t show it to my Kid. I’ve been in love with superheroes since I first learned to read (way back in the Bronze Age) and although I understand why regular monthly books are targeted at a late 20’s audience, I can’t figure out why DC is doing this with thier direct to DVD films. The Batman/ Superman Adventures and the JLU cartoons followed a perfect formula…I could get my geek-on and my kid could fall in love with the same characters I grew up loving. So why add just enough boorish and childish “Adult” content that the cartoons only have the narrower appeal? Who needs to hear a hero say “damnit” or actually watch Sinestro torture someone? These qualities have ALWAYS been succesfully implied to older audience members without explicitly being portrayed in a manner that will chase most 5 or 6 year olds out of the room.
Yay for Wolverine and the X-Men, Yay for Spectacular Spider-Man, and BOO for DC direct! I’ve been a huge fan of Bruce Tim for two decades now, but he should be embarrassed to have his name on this stuff.
