TITLE: SUPERMAN/BATMAN Vol. 1: Public Enemies
PUBLISHER: DC Comics TV/MOVIE COMPARISON: The best parts of an Alias episode combined with the best parts of a Smallville episode, packed full of nitroglycerin and turned up to 11.
It’s an idea so perfect you can’t believe it took DC almost 60 years to figure it out: a comic where Batman and Superman take on the biggest threats in the DC Universe.
And they don’t come much bigger than this first storyline. A superchunk of Kryptonite is screaming towards Earth, and President Lex Luthor tells the terrified citizens of the globe who the responsible party is: Superman. Framed by Lex, Superman has no choice but to enlist Batman’s help in removing Lex from power once and for all. They only have to go through Lex’s personal army of duped superheroes and bloodthirsty supervillains first…
Jeph Loeb and Ed McGuiness pull out every conceivable stop to get this book to live up to the promise implied by the presence of two of the biggest icons in American comics: a comic where Batman and Superman take on the biggest threats in the DC Universe must be an awesome comic.
