Press Release
The World’s Greatest Super Heroes become America’s most wanted
criminals – and are hunted by friends and foes alike – in
Superman/Batman: Public Enemies, the sixth entry in the popular DVD
series of DC Universe Animated Original PG-13 Movies. A co-production
of Warner Premiere, DC Comics and Warner Bros. Animation, the
full-length animated film will be distributed by Warner Home Video on
September 29, 2009. Superman/Batman: Public Enemies will be available
as a Special Edition 2-disc version on DVD and Blu-Ray™ Hi-Def for
$24.98 (SRP) and $29.99 (SRP), respectively, as well as single disc DVD
for $19.98 (SRP) and On Demand. Order due date for all versions is
August 25, 2009.
Superman/Batman: Public Enemies is based on the popular Jeph Loeb/Ed
McGuinness comic series/graphic novel. Animation legend Bruce Timm
(Superman Doomsday, Green Lantern) is executive producer. Michael
Goguen (Justice League: The New Frontier) is supervising producer. Sam
Liu (The Batman) is directing a script written by Stan Berkowitz
(Justice League: The New Frontier).
In the film, United States President Lex Luthor uses the oncoming
trajectory of a Kryptonite asteroid to frame Superman and declare a $1
billion bounty on the heads of the Man of Steel and his “partner in
crime,” Batman. Heroes and villains alike launch a relentless pursuit
of Superman and Batman, who must unite – and recruit help – to stave
off the action-packed onslaught, stop the asteroid, and uncover
Luthor’s devious plot to take command of far more than North America.
The movie reunites the lead voices of Superman, Batman and Lex Luthor
from the landmark Superman: The Animated Series and Batman: The
Animated Series. Tim Daly (Private Practice), Kevin Conroy (Batman: The
Animated Series, Justice League) and Clancy Brown (The Shawshank
Redemption) reprise their roles as Superman, Batman and Lex Luthor,
respectively.
Superman/Batman: Public Enemies - 2 Disc Special Edition version will
have more than three hours of incredible bonus features, including:
• Featurettes
• The Blackest Night: Inside the DC Comics Event: Behind-the-scenes of
BLACKEST NIGHT, the epic DC Super Hero event in which the dead shall
rise.
• A Test of Minds: Superman and Batman featurette with Jeph Loeb,
giving viewers a fresh and revitalized look at the team-up of Superman
and Batman working together despite their often competitive and
challenging relationship.
• “Dinner with DC: With Special Guest Kevin Conroy”: Reprising his role
from Batman: The Animated Series, Kevin Conroy joins the crew for
dinner to discuss their creative approach and what the Superman/Batman
team-up means. The evening will be hosted by Voice Director Andrea
Romano, Producer Bruce Timm and DC’s Gregory Noveck
• Extended Sneak Peak at Next DCU Film

“Warner Premiere is excited to continue this successful partnership
with DC Comics, Warner Bros. Animation and Warner Home Video to present
feature-length PG-13 animated original films with the filmmaking and
celebrity voice starpower of Superman/Batman: Public Enemies,” said
Matt Bierman, Senior Vice President Production, Warner Premiere.
“Based on the past success of Superman Doomsday and Batman Gotham
Knight, we know the pairing of the Man of Steel and the Dark Knight –
pitted against both their DC Super Hero colleagues and the entire

entertainment normally reserved for the big, summer blockbuster films,”
said Amit Desai, WHV Vice President of Family, Animation & Partner
Brands.
“This is the ultimate film for DC animation lovers featuring not
only the cornerstone characters of comic book and Saturday morning
heroes, but also returns the seminal voices of those characters – Tim

Superman/Batman dynamic and allows Lex Luthor to shine in ultimate
villainy,” said Gregory Noveck, Senior VP Creative Affairs, DC Comics.
