Even most of the Justice League believe Luthor has turned over a new leaf and have become sanctioned representatives of his government, all except for Superman (voiced by Tim Daly) who isn't convinced his archenemy is reformed, and of course the Batman (the legendary Kevin Conroy) who has always been a loner and fought conformity. Surprisingly, Luthor manages to deliver and quickly restores the nation to a state of tranquility. When America's economy is in turmoil and the crime rate is at an all-time high, a desperate country elects ruthless businessman Lex Luthor (voiced by Clancy Brown) as President of the United States, whose campaign promised major change for the better. It's just too bad 'Superman/Batman: Public Enemies' fails to capture this essence. Really, they are the yin and yang of the DC Universe. Light and dark, the parallel lives of Kal-El and Bruce Wayne have converged on a singular path and while they may butt heads on occasion, they understand each other in the deepest sense, their mutual respect and trust for one another having forged a unique unbreakable bond. Yet, they are one in the same - both orphans whose loneliness is the driving force behind their pledge to fight injustice. These two heroes really couldn't be any more different - one is a godlike being from another planet, and the other is a mere mortal who relies solely on his wits to solve crimes. I don't think any relationship in all of the realms of comics fascinates me more than the one Superman has with Batman.
