"My, you do live dangerously. Don't 
you realize you're moving in on Superman's main squeeze?" - 
Joker, to Bruce Wayne on dating Lois Lane 
				Why watch this? This 
				is a superb telling of the first meeting between Bats and Supes 
				Plot Summary: When 
				the Joker develops a plan to kill Superman for Lex Luthor, 
				Batman follows Joker to Metropolis. This brings the two iconic 
				heroes together, forcing them to overcome their initial distrust 
				of each other. Working together, the world's finest heroes must 
				thwart the villainous alliance between Luthor and the Joker to 
				protect both cities. 
				Dad's Preview: 
				Warner Brothers struck gold on DC Super-heroes in the 1990's. 
				They first gave viewers the incredible 
				
				Batman: The Animated Series (1992-1995, 85 episodes), 
				then followed up with 
				
				Superman: The Animated Series (1996 to 2000, 54 episodes). 
				This movie was originally aired as three Superman episodes, 
				29-31, called "World's Finest". It may be my favorite storyline 
				from all the animated work. This would eventually lead to
				
				Justice League (2001 to 2004). What's not to like? It takes 
				these long-developed characters and finally brings them 
				together, as comics had done years before. The voice cast is 
				incredible, as is the rock-solid story by Alan Burnett and Paul 
				Dini, long-time comic book writers.
