The Batman Superman Movie [DVD] [2006]

I've given this DVD a high score because of its association with several old comic books published well over twenty years ago.Older comic book fans will know that this particular story, based on a two issue prestige format mini-series written by Dave (Watchmen artist) Gibbons and Steve "The Dude" Rude, most well known for Nexus, a First/Dark Horse comic book series co-created with writer Mike Baron, also owes a debt to the works of Frank (Sin City/300)Miller, whose magnum opus, the legendary graphic novel, The Dark Knight Returns, featured a Dark Knight Detective unusually antagonistic to the Man of Steel and it's this dynamic that is represented here in the conflict between Bruce Wayne and Superman as he find himself in Metropolis, working in tandem with the Kryptonite Kid's ultimate enemy, Lex Luthor...What impressed me about this (and almost 99.99% of the Warner Brothers animated super hero fare) story is the ocassional and much appreciated moments of interpersonal conflict between heroes and villains or here, hero and hero. In using the words 'adult' and 'mature', I don't mean to imply that there is nudity or bad language in any such scenes, rather that the writers are clever enough and respectful enough of their viewers to not write down to their audience and are able to treat them with intelligence, hence dialogue between the Joker and Lex Luthor along the lines of, "There'e nothing MERE about that mortal, I can assure you!" or writing dramatic visuals into certain situations to highlight the two heroes different approaches to investigating the same case:For example, Batman tossing Superman over his shoulder using Judo for interrupting his interogation of a suspect or Batman surreptitiously working out who Superman is in real life, something that takes Clark Kent by surprise, when Batman calls him Kent in his Superman identity and so on. If I was nine or ten years old, I'd be highly impressed by this and I think, so you will you too, as will any offspring or nieces and nephews, etc. I've noticed that this DVD is not easy to come by here in Blighty (Great Britain) therefore, ordering it from here on Amazon is your best bet.Excellent work by producer Bruce Timm and co., once more. Highly recommended!

This is a great animated film, depicting the first meeting between Batman and Superman. In its own way, this is superior to the live-action 'Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice' (2016) movie. This film consists of several episodes - blended together - from the 'Batman: The Animated Series' (season 4) and 'Superman: The Animated Series' (season 3) shows. Both of these shows are amazing.The plot: the Joker is down on his luck in Gotham City, so he and Harley Quinn break in to an antique's shop and steal an odd looking ornament ... Batman arrives shortly after, and finds a shard of the stolen object. He tests it, and realises it's Kryptonite. Meanwhile the Joker meets up with Lex Luthor, and offers his services - in exchange for big bucks - to kill Superman.Batman goes to Metropolis, looking for the Joker. In his effort to gain information, Batman beats up various thugs ... and this gets Superman's attention. It's now that the two heroes meet (I won't spoil the surprise).Anyway, the Joker uses the Kryptonite on Superman ... Batman has to save him. Then the two heroes team up to stop Luthor and the Joker.It's a lot of fun! Great animation, wonderful voice acting, and a fantastic musical score. This came out in the late 1990's, and I bought it on DVD in 2006. I've watched it several times.If you own the 3rd season of S:TAS (or intend to buy it) then don't purchase this film, as it's included in the series. Otherwise, I fully recommend this.

Love the movie

If you like watching an individual movie now and again about Batman, Superman or one that has both together, then this is a little action adventure to enjoy one afternoon.For fans of the DC universe buy Batman (TAS) & Superman (TAS) complete box sets. Better value for money to buy them in bulk and with more exciting short stories.

When the Joker and Harley Quinn steal a dragon made of Kryptonite and agree to kill superman for Lex Luthor, batman follows joker to metropolis and The Dark Knight and the Man Of Steel must put there Differences aside and stop lex and the clown prince of crime. the voice actors are perfect in this like Kevin Conroy as Batman, Tim Daly as Superman, Clancy brown as Lex Luthor and Mark Hamill once Again as the joker, we also get to hear Arleen Sorkin reprice her role as Harley Quinn. If you Like Superman and Batman team ups then you should get this.

The dvd was in great condition and still a great superman batman movie, enjoyed it as much as I did when I watched it as a kid.

A fun film. Worth watching if you are a fan of Batman: the animated series, it has the same voice actors and animation style as season 4. Arrived on time and good quality.

Batman & Superman togetherCant ask for anything more!!

Ich bin ein grosser Fan des Dc Universe und habe eigentlich alles um die 2 Superhelden Batman und Superman Zuhause stehen. Als ich dann beim Stöbern diese Dvd sah war ich überrascht, dass ich sie noch nicht hatte und musste sie mir sofort zulegen. Gott sei Dank habe ich für diesen Blindkauf nicht viel Geld ausgegeben, denn diese Dvd ist nur Geldmacherrei. Es handelt sich hierbei um keinen Film sondern nur um die drei Crossover Folgen aus der Superman Tas Serie, Staffel 2. Geschickter Weise wurden diese hier einfach mal etwas geschnitten und zu einem angeblichen Film Verpackt. Wer die Staffel nicht haben sollte kann sich mit gutem Gewissen diese Dvd holen. Denn inhaltlich würde ich sie ohne weiteres mit 4 Sternen versehen. Es handelt sich um das erste Aufeinander treffen von Batman und Superman. Wer allerdings mehr als nur kurzes Interresse am Dc Universe hat, dem empfehle ich ehr sich die Batman Tas oder Superman Tas Serie zuzulegen. Sie sind sehr gut und bei letzterer ist auf der zweiten Staffel sowieso das Crossover drauf.
