"That was my best friend. And you just killed him." - Superman

Why watch this? This has the action fans love, with a voice cast that TRUE fans love.

Plot Summary: Lex Luthor, now the POTUS, uses a kryptonite meteor threat to toot his own horn and frame Superman. This turns the public and government against the Man of Steel. Batman and Superman team up to clear Superman's name, expose Luthor's machinations, and stop the meteor from destroying Earth, all while facing a million dollar bounty placed on them and attacks from various heroes and villains.

Dad's Preview: Batman and Superman have always been an interesting duo. They are polar opposites. However, they are DC Comics royalty. This film give us all we need: a great plot, lots of guest-star heroes/villains to face in battle, and the always devious Lex Luthor, who behaves in public, but is always up to something. Fans of the original Animated Series will be pleased with the returns of Daly, Conroy and Brown in the lead roles; love the OG's. I read the original comics story years ago, and this Warner Brothers' film does not disappoint.
