Superman/Batman: Public Enemies

During a crisis stirring headlines and fear, Lex Luthor, now President, leverages a looming Kryptonite meteor to justify a sweeping hunt for two of America's most famous fugitives. He declares a one billion bounty on Superman and Batman, painting them as threats to national security. What follows is a citywide cat and mouse game where heroes, villains, and everyone in between chase the Man of Steel and the Dark Knight across rooftops, skies, and smoky streets. To survive the oncoming storm, Superman and Batman put aside their differences, forging a tense alliance and calling in trusted allies to help mount a defense against the relentless pursuit and the escalating danger posed by Luthors plan. The chase tests their resolve today.

Directed by Sam Liu, this DC Universe Animated Original Movie brings Superman and Batman together under political pressure. The story builds on a running comic book collaboration and features a voice cast led by Daly, Conroy, and Brown, with pacing.

Fans recognize it as a standout entry in the late 2000s wave of DC animated features that mix planetary danger with character psychology. The film highlights how trust frays under political manipulation, and the partnership of two icons remains a touchstone for animated crossovers. It continues to influence later crossovers.

Critics generally praised the action sequences and the dynamic duo, noting the film balances spectacle with moral questions about power and accountability. It threads themes of alliance under pressure, public perception, and the consequences of unchecked authority, without losing focus on character chemistry and stakes for fans of the genre.

Because it was released as a direct-to-video feature, there is no traditional box office figure. It found its audience through home video and digital distribution, with fans tracking its availability on DVD, Blu-ray, and streaming platforms around the world today.
