"Superman/Batman: Public Enemies," the next DC Universe animated feature to arrive on shelves, features the publisher's most popular heroes forced into decidedly un-heroic roles: fugitives.
Based on the Jeph Loeb and Ed McGuinness series and executive produced by Bruce Timm, "Public Enemies" follows the rise to power of Superman's arch enemy, Lex Luthor—a climb that takes him all the way to the White House while framing Superman and Batman for crimes against the Earth. Among the obstacles they face while struggling to clear their names is a particularly troublesome foe for Superman: the kryptonite-powered villain known as Metallo.
After the jump, check out a new clip from "Superman/Batman: Public Enemies," then read on for more details about the film, which hits shelves September 29.
Warner Premiere, DC Comics and Warner Bros. Animation are set to release the all-new film in a Blu-Ray™ Hi-Def edition, a special edition 2-disc DVD, and a single disc DVD. Warner Home Video will distribute the action-packed movie, which will also be available OnDemand and Pay-Per-View as well as available for download that same day.
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.
"Superman/Batman: Public Enemies" features a star-studded voice cast filling the roles of super heroes and villains alike, including Kevin Conroy (Batman), Tim Daly (Superman), Clancy Brown (Lex Luthor), Allison Mack (Power Girl), Xander Berkeley (Captain Atom), Ricardo Chavira (Major Force), John C. McGinley (Metallo), LeVar Burton (Black Lightning), CCH Pounder (Amanda Waller) and a host of others.
