This feature-length DVD began as a three-episode story line on the animated TV series, a superhero crossover where
Bruce Wayne visits Metropolis and the Dark Knight meets the Man of Steel for the first time. The two heroes mix
like oil and water, the law-and-order Superman suspicious of Batman's rather ruthless methods; but they form an uneasy
partnership when Lex Luthor and the Joker team up to take on the duo. To add a personal dimension to the already edgy
rivalry, Wayne romances Lois Lane under Clark Kent's very nose. The stylized animation and sharp design of the TV series
give the limited animation a sleek, smooth quality and an energetic sense of movement.
Worth the price simply for the film itself. Though a little light on the extras, solid video and audio quality anchor this nice disc.
Picture Quality: 8/10
A nice clean transfer from Warner Home Video. The colors are vibrant and faithful to the series. For those curious, traditional animated films seem to transfer much cleaner to DVD than live-action, simply due to the amount of color information carried in the bit-stream.
Sound Quality: 8/10
A very convincing audio track. Dialogue was crisp, despite the two-channel surround transfer.
Menu: 8/10
Nice, simple menu system.
Extra Features: 5/10
Save for the "How to Draw BATMAN and SUPERMAN" featurettes, there are not really any other worthy features to mention.
The Final Word:
Worth the price simply for the film itself. Though a little light on the extras, solid video and audio quality anchor this nice disc.
