Superman / Batman Vol. 1 - Public Enemies

Written by Jeph Loeb
Art by Ed McGuinness, Dexter Vines and Tim Sale

I enjoyed the comic story that the movie was based upon; however, I felt that the movie had to forsake aspects of the story to fit it all into a video. But did they choose the wrong pieces? Batman and Superman's friendship was hinted at - but not as strong as the original story portrayed. In the book, they could almost finish each others sentences and knew what the other was likely to do / think.

Did I expect more out of the movie? Maybe a little. Is it worth watching? Hell, yeah. It had a lot more to offer then the majority of movies that are put out there these days. But with the awesome scribing talents of Jeph Loeb and the unique style of art by Ed Guinness, this movie made for an excellent afternoon matinee at home. Something the entire family could enjoy.

Finally, with this being Vol. 1; mayhap, we will be lucky enough to get more team-up videos between the two of them.
