Superman/Batman: Public Enemies Details Revealed

Superman and Batman are teaming up in the next Warner Home Video direct-to-video release of Superman/Batman: Public Enemies on September 29.  This release is an adaptation of the popular Jeph Loeb and Ed McGuinness storyline that opened the comics series of the same name. The comic featured a ton of guest stars from across the DC Universe and I only hope they make it to the animated version as well.

Here’s some more information direct for Warner Home Video:

Bruce Timm, who was a key producer on Superman: The Animated Series and Batman: The Animated Series, returns to the DC Universe once again with a newly announced direct-to-video (DTV) release scheduled to arrive from Warner Home Video on September 29th. And the voice cast is going to be exciting for fans, as it consists of Superman: TAS stars Tim Daly ("Clark Kent/Superman") and Clancy Brown ("Lex Luthor"), and Batman: TAS star Kevin Conroy ("Bruce Wayne/Batman"). Also among the voice cast are Allison Mack (Smallville), CCH Pounder (ER, The Shield, Justice League’s "Amanda Waller"), and John C. McGinley (Scrubs, Justice League’s "Ray Palmer/The Atom"). Here’s the studio description of this release:

A desperate solution for a troubled country: Lex Luthor for President, with the Justice League in the service of the government. Only Batman and Superman stand against the new regime…and their disloyalty proves to be exactly what Luthor intended! Using their outcast status to instigate a scandal against Superman, Luthor finally tastes a victory in his vendetta against The Man of Steel.

From Executive Producer Bruce Timm, and voiced by the cast from both hit Batman and Superman animated TV series including Kevin Conroy, Tim Daly and Clancy Brown, this DC Universe Original Animated Movie of Jeph Loeb and Ed McGuinness’s popular graphic novel seethes with political intrigue and action-packed battles between heroes all believing they’re on the right side of the law.

    1. Really looking forward to the dvd, I loved this storyline in the comics.

    2. While not 100% original, it did not need to be. It was well made and a lot of fun. It had to be the biggest single collection of DC comics heroes and villains since Crisis on Infinite Earths!

      Here is my take on it with a little humor and LOTS o’ pics of you are interested.
