Review: Batman in "Superman/Batman: Public Enemies"

NOTE: Superman/Batman is a different fictional world from Justice League, but it includes the same characters

Batman is one of the few super-heroes (even he has no super-powers) that appear in this original animated DC movie. The main heroes are Superman and Batman, but also heroes like Atom and Power-Girl appear also. The story is about after the elections for new president, which is Lex Luthor (main villain of Superman) and a big Krypton meteor that will hit the planet. Clark (Superman) is portrayed as the bad guy and Lex is offering one billion for his head. While they are handling their old enemies, Bruce and Clark also need to go against some of their former-allies, such as Captain Atom, Hawkman and Power-Girl (who short-after helps them). Batman appears in only few less scenes then Clark as they work together, we also see Alfred, and Bruce without mask. The style of drawing this movie is new to animated DC movies and has been seen only once (in this movie), that doesn't mean that it's bad, because it's perfect, there is a lot of action, adventures and less drama and talking. The Superman/Batman animated movie (based on same-titled comics) is continued in one more movie named "Superman/Batman: Apocalypse" from 2010!
