Pluskylang Great Film overall

Moustroll Good movie but grossly overrated

Console best movie i've ever seen.

Portia Hilton Blistering performances.

DCfan I enjoyed Superman/Batman public enemies and this was a massive step up from that movie.The story was good the voice acting was great, the animations and the designs improved a lot from the previous movie. But unlike the previous one, I wouldn't say this movie can be seen by kids under 11 because in the first scene when Supergirl comes to earth, unlike Superman the animated series she is shown to be naked and her breasts can nearly be shown.The title should be Justice League apocalypse instead because Wonder Woman and Big Barda are in this movie.The last scene was funny and beautiful when Supergirl and Superman were flying together but the best scene was the last battle.

Shawn Watson With so many Warner Premier animations coming out these days it is especially hard to keep up with them all. Superman/Batman: Apocalypse follows on from their Public Enemies team-up in 2009. Supes has his name come first in the title as this is primarily his story with Batman playing sidekick.The movie opens with a meteor splashing into Gotham Harbor and causing untold damage and misery to boat owners and businesses around the water. Batman investigates and is surprised to find naked, pretty Kara Zor-El (that would be Supergirl) has arrived on Earth with not much recollection of what happened.Her cousin Superman takes her in and promises to teach her how to use her powers correctly on Earth. Kara just wants to be an ordinary girl and Supes is happy to spoil her. Too bad that Darkseid, in the Apokolips realm (or whatever it is) has sinister plans for her and temps her into corruption with promises of almighty power.As soon as Bats, Supes, Wonder Woman, and that other tall girl go after her things go downhill. I suppose it's a lot like the first Thor movie in that regard (I never bothered with the second one) - the scenes set on Earth were fun and entertaining, but all of the gibberish on Asgard bored me to tears. This DC effort is no different. Watching Kara try to fit in on Earth is nice, but last third in the Apokolips realm is tedious and repetitive, and then it carries on into Smallville too. Someone smashes into a building, they hit back and someone else smashes into another building, then they hit back and the first person smashes into a building again. I'd love to see the scripts for these comic book movies, it must be the same words printed over and over. Thankfully, the 9/11 porn of tumbling skyscrapers seen in abundance in Man of Steel (and far too many others) is absent here.The movie was surprisingly violent in some scenes too. It is by no means a bad entry in the Bruce Timm DC universe, just a little derivative.

nandadulhani When I said lame comic book adaptation, I meant it considering that this movie was made for both: Batman and Superman. But after looking at the movie, its approach seemed to be only Superman friendly, not mere because this movie showed a lot about superman and super-girl but the movie Batman had no signs of what the real batman is all about.ex: During the end of the movie, darkseid said to batman:"You can destroy your own kind to win a Battle", which I consider as the lamest sentence I have ever heard in the entire history of television that I have watched.Batman is all about saving the people and he would happily lose a million battles just to save one life, and that could be of any one, even the worst of the enemies of the Batman. This movie totally brought forth a new Batman of its own, which doesn't own any resemblance to the original great character. Watch "Batman the animated series" and see by your self the difference in the character.To be honest, this story isn't really awful story wise, but is awful character adaptation wise. Don't waste your time here, if u wanna watch something real, watch "Batman-Superman public enemies" which indeed is a great movie..

p-stepien Shortly after Batman saves the world from a kryptonite meteor a spacecraft crash lands in Gotham City. Batman is first on the scene, so soon he encounters a young girl with no knowledge of English or any other human languages. Almost instantly she shows off powers reminiscent of Superman, albeit she is incapable of controlling her powers and causes havoc and destruction in her path. With Superman's help Batman discovers the girl is Kara Zor-El, the niece of Jor-El and Superman's biological cousin. Batman remains suspicious of the newcomer, while Darkseid aware of her appearance decides to kidnap her to Apokolips to become the leader of his deadly Furies.I will not hide that I have a very basic issue with the whole DC universe: it's undying lameness. Save for Batman and a few secondary characters DC is populated with outdated, lame and corny characters with a couple of them like Wonder Woman or Superman being front-line characters for the comic giants. It remains no surprise that DC is losing the battle for minds and readers with Marvel, albeit Batman does his best to even up the odds.Over the years multiple attempts have been made to revamp and amp up the credibility of their stars. And villains like Darkseid or Doomsday helped a lot in this regard (even though they have been severely overused since their introduction). Nonetheless this direct-to-video animation is fully aware of the issues plaguing the Superman character, hence the counterpoint of Batman, which leads to some intriguing dialogue and interchange of vastly opposite mindsets. Nonetheless given the subject matter the movie doesn't delve too deeply into this interplay, as it focuses mostly on the action and a lot of attention is given towards the Supergirl/Superman relation. Batman ends up in a supporting role, but still manages to be the most interesting character in the movie with the best lines to boot.The animation is crisp and the bulky design prepped by Michael Turner is the best DC live graphics I have yet seen. Nonetheless the story lacks space to evolve and captivate, so instead of giving the characters some air to develop we jump from location to location and action sequence to action sequence. Which essentially turns it into a slightly indifferent joyride. Possibly fun for DC fans, but all else won't get the drift...
