Superman/Batman: Pubic Enemies is the latest DC Universe animated movie. I won’t write a long review, since I’m technically on vacation.
It’s fun. I mean, it won’t win any awards, but it’s fun. It’s a bit on the short side though, at only 67 minutes. There’s also a lot that don’t make sense. But hey, it’s based on a Jeph Loeb comic.
But it also has a giant Composite Superman/Batman robot, so it all balances out.
I just arrived in the US yesterday, and this pretty baby was waiting for me. The discs are the same as the previously released season sets, but it does include a bonus disc with a Batman animation history documentary.
If you don’t already own the individual sets, I highly recommend this set.
23 people voted, with Dick Grayson being first, Tim Drake a close second.
Biggest surprise? A vote for Stephanie Brown. That’s right. 1 vote. And NONE for Jason Todd.
Gotham Central. A Bat-Book hardly featuring Batman, and that’s exactly it’s greatest strength.
It focuses on the Gotham City Police Department’s Major Crime Unit, with Brubaker writing the Night Shift and Rucka writing the Day Shift.
It’s just a brilliant book, and DC has recently(-ish) started collecting them in shiny pretty hardcovers.

While the main story of both the BATMAN and DETECTIVE COMICS annuals deal with Azrael and his growing role in the Bat-universe, each book contains a “little” treat. Pun intended. Writer Derek Fridolfs teams with co-writer and regular artistic collaborator Dustin Nguyen for two two-page shorts spotlighting “Lil’ Gotham.” It’s all your favorite Gotham City heroes and villains dropped in size and amped up in cuteness. How can you resist? Dustin was kind enough to send over a few panels this morning to Bat Editor Mike Marts and his able assistant Janelle Siegel. Lo and behold, we have them up here for you to fawn over.
BATMAN ANNUAL #27 features a race through the winding streets of Gotham titled “Off Rogue Racing,” while DETECTIVE COMICS ANNUAL #11 is simply titled “Question & Answer.” What more is there to say? Not too much, since we don’t want to spoil the fun. But we did manage to get a few words from Mr. Marts. Take it away, Mike:
“The usual STREETS OF GOTHAM art tandem of Dustin Nguyen and Derek Fridolfs switch gears to deliver two separate “Lil Gotham” chapters. Humor for all ages and adorable art – how can you say no?”
BATMAN ANNUAL #27 hits 10/7.
DETECTIVE COMICS ANNUAL #11 hits 10/14.
Batman: Brave and The Bold is already my favourite cartoon in ages. It’s fun for all ages Batman, who teams up with a different superhero every episode to thwart evil.
Right now I’m watching the musical episode, which just aired on Cartoon Network UK. The internet works fast.
So the 2 reasons this episode the greatest ever, NON-SPOILER version. I might do a spoiler version, but I’m not good at writing long posts.
Number 1!
Batman was totally in the Whirly-Bat!
Number 2!
Music Meister is voiced by Neil Patrick Harris, who we all know from Doctor Horrible! And so we know he’s a great singer!
