movieman_kev Edited from 3 episodes of "The New Batman Superman Adventures", this cartoon has Lex Luther accepting the Joker's offer to defeat Superman for him. But Batman follows his arch-nemeses to Metropolis and finds himself teaming up with Superman to take these two villains down. I was a huge fan of "Batman: The Animated Series", but found Superman's subsequent series to be lackluster at best. So this is a halfway decent film, namely the Batman half (Well it's not really a half, as Superman hogs up most of the running time). Overall the film is the weakest of any of the animated Batman films Doesn't help that the story is mediocre as best.My Grade: CDVD Extras: Cast & Crew Information; "The Joker's Challenge" game; Conversation with Producer Bruce Timm;How To Draw Batman & Superman featurettes; The Art Of Batman featurette; Music Montage; Theatrical Trailer; and Trailers for "Batman Beyond: Return of the Joker", "Batman & Mr. Freeze: SubZero", "Scooby-Doo Sneak Peaks", & "Scooby-Doo" Teaser Trailer

Jackson Booth-Millard If you like the new version of Batman: The Animated Series or the Superman cartoon series, then both are teamed together in this TV made movie. The Joker (voiced by Star Wars' Luke Skywalker, Mark Hamill) and Harley Quinn (Arleen Sorkin) have stolen a dragon statue made out of Kryptonite, Superman's weakness. Joker convinces the man who hates Superman most, Lex Luthor (The Shawshank Redemption's Clancy Brown) to join him in killing Superman. Batman/ Bruce Wayne (Kevin Conroy) from Gotham City comes to Metropolis to catch The Joker before he does something to the city. He also unites with Superman/ Clark Kent (Timothy Daly) to help him. Also starring Dana Delany as Lois Lane. Batman was number 84, and Superman number 72 on The 100 Greatest Pop Culture Icons. Good!

Big Movie Fan ***POSSIBLE SPOILERS*** Before I viewed this movie in 1999, I was really looking forward to seeing two of the best superheroes of all time teaming up. I am pleased to say that it exceeded my expectations and I enjoyed it just as much when I recently viewed it.In various comic books, Superman and Batman teamed up on many occasions. They even had their own regular team up comic called World's Finest. They were always good buddies in the comics. Then in 1986, Superman was relaunched and had a new mini-series called Superman:The Man Of Steel. In one issue, Batman was in Metropolis investigating a crime but Superman didn't approve of his methods and was concerned only with hauling him into the nearest police station. Batman became a darker and darker character from the late 70's onwards and it would be wrong to describe him and Superman as friends.You're probably wondering why I am spouting all this comic book history out. The reason is, because I was pleased to see this movie feature Batman and Superman as reluctant allies as opposed to good buddies.Bruce Wayne is in Metropolis about to do business with Lex Luthor. The Joker also happens to be in town and soon ends up teaming with Luthor to combat Superman and Batman.There are some nice touches to this movie. Bruce Wayne is an arrogant millionaire in this movie who is interested only in dating the beautiful Lois Lane. Wayne ignores Clark Kent throughout the film and acts really condescending towards him at times, almost regarding him as inferior. Kent is jealous throughout the film at the interest Bruce shows towards Lois.Batman and Superman are reluctant allies in this film. Superman clearly does not approve of Batman's methods and Batman has no time for Superman although clearly underneath there is a deep mutual respect. In this film, Superman and Batman discover each other's identities and that leads to some interesting scenes.The Joker (and Harley Quinn) and Lex Luthor are also reluctant allies teaming out of necessity only. The interaction between the two villains is great and Lex clearly regards the Joker as a lunatic. There are some great scenes throughout including one where the Joker gets the better of Superman and Batman throws Superman onto a table (believe it, it's true).Of course, it would have been nice to have Robin in this film but the movie was so great I soon forgot a minor fact like that.All in all, a fantastic film. Rather than taking the easy way out and having Superman and Batman as good buddies punching their way through the bad guys, the makers of this film came up with something very imaginative and totally original. Highly recommended.
