Based on the “Public Enemies” in the Superman/Batman comic book series, written by Jeph Loeb and Ed McGuinness, this DC Animated Universe movie, directed by Sam Liu and written by Stan Berkowitz, does a great job of getting in almost everything from that story as well as looking like McGuinness’ art.

15 years before this happened all over again in our reality, Lex Luthor (Clancy Brown) is elected President thanks to a severe nationwide economic depression. While he tries to make it seem like he’s working for the greater good, he uses his power to go after Superman (Tim Daly) and Batman (Kevin Conroy).

Luthor doesn’t need them, as he has his own superteam of Captain Atom (Xander Berkeley), Katana, Black Lightning (LeVar Burton), Power Girl (Allison Mack), Starfire (Jennifer Hale) and Major Force (Ricardo Antonio Chavira). Unknown to those heroes, Luthor has put a bounty on the head of Superman and Batman, which several villains try to get, including Metallo (John C. McGinley), who is killed by someone else and the murder blamed on the heroes.

As a meteor comes to Earth, Luthor plans on letting it hit and remaking the world, as he’s been taking drugs so that he can be as strong as Superman. He’s also hired tons of bad guys — Solomon Grundy (Corey Burton), Killer Frost (Jennifer Hale), Giganta (Andrea Romano) and Captain Cold (Michael Gough) to stop the heroes.

There’s also a scene where the Toyman (Calvin Tran) builds a Superman/Batman robot to go into space and destroy the meteor that’s pretty cool.

This is followed by Superman/Batman: Apocalypse, based on the Superman/Batman comic storyline “The Supergirl from Krypton.” Loeb moves fast with his stories and things get silly at times, but they are entertaining.
