The pairing of the world's two greatest superheros (Batman first, Supes second, of course) has never been done well. Until The Batman Superman Movie, that is. Dini, Timm and crew are the first to capture the relationship between the Bat and the Boyscout that has existed for decades in the comics.
Wonderful movie, and I love the new animation style! Crisp, easy to follow, and often copied by many new comic artists.

It was interesting to see Superman and Batman interacting...I think the story could've been better done. Lex Luthor was pretty much a supporting character and letting the Joker pretty much run the whole show. Hopefully, we'll all be treated a lot better if WB decides to do this again. If you want to catch a good Batman Animated movie..check out Mask of the Phantasm and you will not be disappointed. If you're a hard core Batman or Superman fan, this movie is all right but if you're not..then I would recommend something else...

Many people have ripped on this movie for being improbable (Ex: could Batman toss Superman around?) and that it looks less impressive than the previous Batman animation, but all of that is nit picking that distracts you from a well told, well thought out, well executed story. We get to learn more about these characters than we have in all 4 of the live action Batman movies, plus we get a wonderful set-up and conflict, pitting everyone against each other. Timm and Dini are obvious fans of these worlds and know what they would like to see from the characters, and that's to have them all be rivals, not instant, simple friends. The electricity during the first meetings between good guys and bad guys is great, and they manage to carry that through to the end. It's too bad more people can't get past the hang-ups to see that this is a great show.

The first teaming of Batman and Superman was good. Yet,I like to know why they messed up Bruce Wayne's appearance. He looked like a Siberian husky. His new pale skin made him look worse. He was a shell of his former shelf. The mere sight of his new appearance made my skin crawl. Yet, I'm glad that his Batman mask hid his ghastly face. It's a good thing that the cartoonists hardly change Batman's look. They should return to BW's previous look since his new look is scarier than the Batman's appearance.

The Long awaited meeting of Batman and Superman was to me a disappointment. The origional Batman The Animated Series had unmatched design and style. It seems that Bruce Timm and Pual Dini have gotten lazy while basking in their success. The "New Look" looks like a half effort; sloppy. Batman, once one with the shadows now struts about in full veiw, his once huge cloak wrapped about him (Looking very cool) now hangs limply from his back. Superman seems slow witted and unaware of his potential, using one power at a time, instead of an effective combination of strength, speed, invulnerability etc. Not to mention the fact that he is battered back by mere bullets. Growing up with Batman The Animated Series, I expected a better effort from Timm and Dini. Stop hiding behind more violence and explosions and turn out some quality work, guys. Thanks for your time
