Ok before I commence, let me explain something: Unlike the reviewers before me, I have actually SEEN this movie, so my review is not based on the graphic recent of which the movie is based, nor what the movie might be like based on who’s late the making of it. I HAVE SEEN THE MOVIE. Now that thats out the arrangement, onto the ample stuff.

I know a lot of Batman, Superman, and Batman/Superman fans were holding their breath on this one. With all classic the DC Humorous character movies coming out lately (some of them not as respectable as others) it was reasonable to lift that “Superman/Batman: Public Enemies” the movie could have gone either map. Well excellent thing for the dependable fan defective, this was definitely a hit. I can say I am more then overjoyed with how this came out, and I have every plot of buying this DVD and watching it again the day it comes home with me.
One thing is abundantly certain when watching this movie: WB Entertainment, and more importantly, DC Comics actually LISTENS to their fans. One of my (and others) biggest fears in this was that we were going to be hearing some sub-par train acting for the main characters alive to, i.e. Superman, Batman, and Lex Luthor. As with past offerings from WB Entertainment (“Superman: Doomsday” for example) we got some used casting for the voices of Lex and Sups. That alone detracts greatly from the overall enjoyment of the movie. With Public Enemies however, we have the best voices ever cast for the starring 3 roles: Tim Daily as Superman, Kevin Conroy as Batman, and Clancy Brown as Lex Luthor. For those who could give two flips about these guys, they are the same voices from the current shows Justice League Unlimited, Batman The Bright Series, and Superman the Spellbinding Series.

On top of sterling articulate acting, the animation is crisp, curious and unprejudiced insensible exquisite. Again, faithful to fan feedback, the artists from Justice League Unlimited seem to have had their hands in this project, because the art is glorious considerable the same (which is by no means a terrible thing), and it looks colossal. Almost straight from the funny.
Speaking of which, as far as the account goes, hold in mind while watching this that its an adaptation to the silly. That being said however, the movie stays remarkably faithful to the tale told in the amusing. Minus a few altered frames, scenes and situations, its like reading the comical all over again, except with no imagination needed to luxuriate in it. The anecdote in general is a very marvelous one, highlighting Batman and Superman’s friendship and giving you a see into how deep it really goes. Granted, you procure more of that in the laughable then you do in the movie, but the movie compensates for the lack of inner dialogue with trustworthy script writing, paunchy of the silly exchanges between Sups and Bats and emotional moments and outburst we know and fancy from our common caped heroes.
This is a ample movie, and you don’t have to have read the droll first in order to like it. Even the review value is moderately high, I can and WILL be watching this again as soon as I can, and some more times after that. This is worth mark, grab it and indulge in a motion describe work of art.
Peace
So I watched Superman/Batman:Public Enemies twice in one day after I got it. And I will support this review short as most of the main points have been hit by the people who reveiewed this already (at least the ones that waited till it came out) . So here’s my rupture down and the kill will be final comments.
STORY:
It was adpated from Jeph Loeb’s first arc on the ongoing silly. Like it or detest it, but it was a very faithful adaptation, streamlining something that was basically a region up for the subsequent arcs as well as Infinite Crisis. It was humorous, and balls to the wall, and the only gripe I had was not explaining why the Robot was a better choice than Luthor’s missles (Reply, robot was made of Metallo, not the guy, the alloy.) But hey all and all I liked what they did.
Characters (exclaim and portrayal) :
WHOA! Okay I read the comics and almost forgot the laundry list of vilains who near out the cracks for the bounty. Batman and Superman were pitch perfect and their banter was astronomical after seeing them so serious with each other all the time in Justice League and JLU. Tim Daly returning for Superman was gargantuan to have, though I’m one of the few that feel George Newburn’s performance as the character is fair as advantageous. Kevin Conroy and Clancy Brown however are the quintessential Batman and Lex Luthor respectively. Props to getting CCH Pounder to return as Amanda Waller even if the charatcer model looked horrendous. Lastly the supporting charatcers were stout. However I wonder why so worthy fuss was made about LeVar “Reading Geordi LeForge’s Rainbow” Burton as Dark Lightning when he had one line. Killer Frost was a throwaway villain that had more to say. *Sigh* Wasted talent.
ART AND ANIMATION:
Again based on the source material, the art style took a muscular turn and was fully mimicing Ed McGuiness’ style where every male looks like a “Masters of the Uninverse” figure. I personally cherish his style and always though it would translate well to the conceal. I was mostly suitable. They made Superman peer too young, and I judge it’s because of the eyes. McGuiness does the squinty witness better than most, and we gaze this in Captain Marvel’s originate, and in the comics Superman has the same search for sometimes. That plus the cheekbone line makes him eye a bit older. Well probably out of apprehension of backlash (last time they achieve lines on his face people said he looked too worn, and in “Doomsday” he looked even older) they elft those lines out and he looks too young. Everyone else in my concept looked radiant. Okay Powergirl’s eyes bugged me too but I was distracted by something else.
FINAL THOUGHTS:
I liked it. It was a astronomical action flick, and didn’t need too noteworthy character development. It’s Superman and Batman, if you don;t know who they are why are you even picking up te movie. It’s a buddy flick with wall to wall action. My biggest affirm is it felt rushed. At 67 minutes it’s like 15 minutes shorter than previous releases and could have really benefitted from them. That said if you like the characters and you like action this is worth it.
AFTERTHOUGHT:
The preview for the next upcoming sharp feature, Jusitce League: Crisis on Two Earths was enormous. Yes I know after Public Enemies going support to original voices will suck but they got some generous ones. Effect Harmon makes a fair apt Superman, I’m on the fence for Billy Baldwin as Batman (needs to be grittier), James Woods does an amazingly devious and zigzag Owlman, and Gena Torres was expansive as SuperWoman. Hope you relish!
