And the next DC Comics Direct-to-DVD animated release is...
Having released Superman: Doomsday, Justice League: New Frontier and the new Wonder Woman animated movie (which I found to be quite good), DC has on its plate to release Green Lantern next year. But after that, it looks like Superman/Batman:Public Enemies will be released in the Fall of 2009.Public Enemies was a story from DC's World's Finest comic. I have been enjoying this new venture from DC, but why do they choose such mediocre stories to base an animated feature on? When will they try animating the heavy-hitters like The Dark Knight Returns or Kingdom Come (admittedly a difficult task in animating Alex Ross' art) or something from the Vertigo line?
Plus, they're diving back into the whole "President Luthor" storyline which I felt was more of a commentary on the Bush presidency and is therefore kind of irrelevant now. Perhaps DC wants to use the concept before people forget the previous administration entirely.
