The World’s
Greatest Super Heroes become America’s
most wanted criminals – and are hunted
by friends and foes alike – in
Superman/Batman: Public Enemies, the
sixth entry in the popular DVD series of
DC Universe Animated Original PG-13
Movies.
Superman/Batman: Public Enemies
is based on the popular Jeph Loeb/Ed
McGuinness comic series/graphic novel.
Animation legend Bruce Timm (Superman
Doomsday, Green Lantern) is
executive producer. Michael Goguen (Justice
League: The New Frontier) is
supervising producer. Sam Liu (The
Batman) is directing a script
written by Stan Berkowitz (Justice
League: The New Frontier).
In the film, United States President Lex
Luthor uses the oncoming trajectory of a
Kryptonite asteroid to frame Superman
and declare a $1 billion bounty on the
heads of the Man of Steel and his
“partner in crime,” Batman. Heroes and
villains alike launch a relentless
pursuit of Superman and Batman, who must
unite – and recruit help – to stave off
the action-packed onslaught, stop the
asteroid, and uncover Luthor’s devious
plot to take command of far more than
North America.
The movie reunites the lead voices of
Superman, Batman and Lex Luthor from the
landmark Superman: The Animated
Series and Batman: The Animated
Series. Tim Daly (Private
Practice), Kevin Conroy (Batman:
The Animated Series, Justice
League) and Clancy Brown (The
Shawshank Redemption) reprise their
roles as Superman, Batman and Lex Luthor,
respectively.
