Next Sunday A.D., a recession leads to Lex Luthor becoming President of the United States. Seemingly solving the financial crisis with a wave of his hand, he declares the curbing of vigilantes the main focus of his Presidency, even forming a government Super Team. Understandably, Superman is pissed.Soon, it's discovered that a Kryptonite meteor the size of a small country is headed towards Earth and will impact in seven days. While President Luthor tries fighting it off with rockets, Batman slyly hints he's "working on something with one of his contacts". Luthor proposes to meet with Superman to discuss the threat; it turns out to be an ambush where Secret Service Agent John Corben (Metallo) lays the smackdown on the Man of Steel until Batman bails him out. In the aftermath of the ambush, however, Metallo is found murdered. Luthor frames Superman, citing mental imbalance due to the meteor, and places a bounty on his head.Cue an entire movie's worth of Superman and Batman going up against pretty much the entire DCU. Along the way they pick up a grand total of two allies: Power Girl and Japanese 13-year-old genius the Toyman. Things change quite a bit as the film progresses, however. A sub-plot deals with Luthor having a Villainous Breakdown as panic spreads, his anti-meteor tactics fail and his Presidency goes south.A direct-to-video adaptation of the first arc of Superman/Batman story arc Public Enemies, and one of DC's Bruce Timm-produced animated films. Kevin Conroy, Tim Daly, Clancy Brown and C.C.H. Pounder reprise their respective roles from the DC Animated Universe as Batman, Superman, Lex Luthor, and Amanda Waller, while Allison Mack of Smallville fame takes on Power Girl's first animated appearance.A sequel, Superman/Batman: Apocalypse, was released in 2010. | |

Conflicting Loyalty | |
| Superman/Batman: Public Enemies / int_14c791fb | comment |
Conflicting Loyalty: Power Girl, between Superman and Lex Luthor. She truly believes Lex had changed and made America (and possibly the world) a better place. And she wants Superman to be a part of it, because they (and she) need him. But Superman doesn't believe Lex has truly changed and knows he's planning something. Power Girl was disappointed Superman refused the offer. Later, she doesn't really believe Superman killed Metallo. Lex tells her that people change, using himself as an example. She seemed thoroughly convinced. Yet, she admits to Superman and Batman that she was very disturbed by Lex in person, as Power Girl states he "makes [her] skin crawl", which led her to believe Superman was right about him all along. | |

Mythology Gag: After Batman drove the rocket into the meteor, Captain Atom shows up and sadly quips that he arrived "a little too late." This is a reference to the comic the movie is based on, where it's Captain Atom and not Batman who makes the sacrifice. Superman mentioning that he's already had a funeral. | |

Adapted Out: The Green Lantern John Stewart , Pete Ross, the future Superman, and the Super- and Bat-families (Superboy, Krypto, the Cir-El Supergirl, the Natasha Irons Steel, Nightwing, the Tim Drake Robin, the Cassandra Cain Batgirl, and Huntress) all appear in the comic, but not in the movie. John Stewart and Pete Ross are notable because in the comic version, John was part of Luthor's Super Team and Pete was Luthor's VP. The Michael Holt Mister Terrific and the original Flash and Green Lantern were also in the comic, but their only scene was in the lead-in to Superman and Batman's confrontation with Hawkman and Captain Marvel. | |

Actor Allusion: Alan Oppenheimer's credits include Alfred Expy Norman Burg. Here, he voices the actual Alfred. Allison Mack's character, Power Girl, had been referenced on Smallville quite a few times. In fact, it was Chloe who discovered the existence of the character in the show's universe in the first place. The casting of LeVar Burton as Black Lightning, as Jefferson Pierce's day job in the comics was a teacher and one of Burton's best known gigs was the host of Reading Rainbow. | |

Utopia Justifies the Means: Luthor, drugged-up on Venom, decides that the meteor crashing into the Earth might not be such a bad thing since it means he has a chance to start the world anew with a few carefully chosen survivors who can build a glorious new Ubermenschen society under his leadership. Subverted though since this is just Insane Troll Logic to protect his ego by justifying why his original plan to blow up the meteors failed- after all, the alternative is that Lex himself just made a mistake. | |

Adaptation Distillation: The film refines the storyline in many ways with increased coherency (such as giving Luthor a more plausible case in incriminating Superman and putting some more reason into Batman and Superman's story). A few of the comic's more awesome moments had to be omitted, however (such as the tussle with the future Superman, the appearance of the Bat- and Super- families, and Batman's fight with Luthor). | |

Unstoppable Rage: Superman does this to Luthor after Batman takes off in the rocket ship. For starters, he punches him so hard that he coughs blood. A few minutes later, Superman takes a kryptonite beam to the face while chasing Luthor and keeps flying at full speed. Power Girl, after finding out Major Force killed Metallo on Lex's order. | |

Casting Gag | |

Casting Gag: The casting of Allison Mack and John C. McGinley definitely qualifies, given that they are best known from a show about a young Superman and a show whose theme song is called "Superman", respectively. Furthermore, Mack's character, Power Girl, has been referenced on Smallville quite a few times, and it was Chloe who discovered her Starware corporation in a Season 3 episode. | |

Out-of-Character Alert | |
| Superman/Batman: Public Enemies / int_777baed3 | comment |
Out-of-Character Alert: Both Superman and Batman notice that something's amiss because of the fact that in spite of Mongul's penchant for Trash Talking, he didn't say a word during his fight with Superman, along with the fact that Grundy, who is only capable of Hulk Speak, sounded surprisingly intelligent in his speech. They quickly conclude that mind control is involved. When Nightshade shows up, her speech pattern is enough for Batman to figure out who's controlling her: Grodd. | |

Conservation of Ninjutsu: Superman and Batman are mobbed by hordes of supervillains all looking to collect the billion dollar bounty on Superman, and each of the villains is defeated by a single punch or combo, despite many of them frequently challenging (and defeating, in some cases) these heroes single-handedly. Bane and Lady Shiva probably get the worst of it. | |

He spends valuable time and manpower attempting to hunt down and frame Superman instead, and when it's clear that Supes is going to save everyone where he can't he nearly dooms the world trying to stop its only hope for survival. | |

Foreshadowing: Lex Luthor claiming that Kryptonite radiation is affecting Supes' mind, and that the approaching meteor drove him crazy. It's actually what's happening to Luthor. Power Girl says that Lex makes her skin crawl. Maybe that's because she can sense he's evil, or maybe it's because of the liquid Kryptonite he's been pumping into himself. | |

Continuity Nod: A number of references are made to past events from the comics. "That planet's been an endless source of grief for me." Though he may be obviously referring to Superman, he could also be referring to the Kryptonite cancer he suffered. Batman and Superman's banter before a battle references Superman: Doomsday: At one point Superman asks Batman whatever happened to Magpie, who has the distinction of being the first villain that Superman and Batman faced together in the post-Crisis DCU (during John Byrne's The Man of Steel). | |

Xanatos Gambit | |

Xanatos Gambit: Lex lures Superman to a meeting only to provoke him and set Metallo upon him. Either Metallo kills Superman or he fails, and Major Force murders Metallo and frames Superman for it, letting Luthor turn the entire country against him. A particularly clever spin on this is that neither Lex nor Superman think the general public will just buy this story, so Lex also suggests that the Kryptonite meteor is affecting Superman's brain and causing him to act violent and irrationally, making the story much more plausible even to people who don't trust Luthor and know that he and Superman hate each other. | |

Adaptational Karma: Although defeated and disgraced, Lex Luthor was able to escape at the end of the comic and managed to evade charges by blaming Alexander Luthor Junior after Infinite Crisis. Here Luthor is arrested and the sequel confirms he was formally impeached for his role in the near-disaster. | |

Most Common Superpower: Power Girl, natch. Her costume even has the Cleavage Window. (Lampshaded twice by Toyman, including an apology for an incident with his experimental x-ray goggles.) | |

Motif Merger: The exact logo at the top of the page also appears in-universe on the chest of a giant robot that Toyman, Japanese wunderkind Hiro Okamura, built to destroy a Kryptonite asteroid that would hit Earth. Cut him some slack: he designed it when he was seven. | |

Composite Character | |
| Superman/Batman: Public Enemies / int_e4965307 | comment |
Composite Character: Black Lightning takes John Stewart's place when he has to use his powers on Major Force to stop him from going nuclear. Power Girl is the one to damage Major Force's suit instead of Katana, who is in the movie unlike John but gets Demoted to Extra. In the climax, Batman is the one to pilot Toyman's missile manually towards the meteor instead of Captain Atom. While Atom got teleported to the WildStorm Universe, Batman survives by ejecting in the last minute. | |
