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.

Did you proofread or fact check your story at all? Green Lantern comes out later this year, not "next year". You probably would have caught and rechecked that if you read back your piece and realized "wait, I said something comes out next year, and then after that the NEXT feature comes out THIS year." As well, if I want to be REALLY picky, the book it's based on is actually called "Superman/Batman", not "Worlds Finest". That's an older title. Lastly, AICN and other sites at least bothered to post the synopsis of what the story is about. You forget to, then go off on a tangent about President Luthor, which has no context for anyone reading about the story here for the first time.
In short, it's nice to see you continuing your tradition of not fact-checking or proofreading your stories, and then spending 2/3 of the story deriding the subject at hand in commentary while forgetting to put in any kind of substance.

I'm pretty sure President Luthor far predated the Bush White House.
Is it too much to ask for a TV Blog talking about a direct-to-DVD release to cut down on the Bush-Bashing in 2009?

Yes, it is. I will never NOT want to "bash" what I fervently hope will be my lifetime's most idealogically corrupt, intellectually deficient, most self-righteous and morally bankrupt POS "leader" this nation ever to win one election (2004). Nor will I ever fail to blame his supporters.
Do not tell me to grow up or get over it. F*** Bush. Forever.

Sadly the writers on here are so liberal they think everything begins and ends with bush bashing. President Luthor is a decades old concept from DC Comics and it's Superman/Batman not worlds finest. Those are not mediocre stories, the Superman/Batman story lines are some of the best most aggressive story lines. Just recently Superman/Batman try to rid the world of all kyrtonite and superman batman switched powers. All great stories. DC is doing great with these DVD's, kudos to them!

Decades? LOL, that's hilarious, nerds.
Why don't you crack the basement door and get some light on your skin for a change before you start slamming the reviewer.
Firstly, it's their site, they can introduce material however they want. The only mistake in the article is when he references GL as next year... sure, he should've proofread, but nobody is perfect.
But suggesting that Luthor was President decades ago is just misinformed and more stupid than a simple typographical error.
Luthor was Presiden starting in 2000, I believe, and only lasted for 3 years... mostly the 3 popular years of the Bush Presidency.
You folks are dealing with some serious stupid. Now, quit bitching and enjoy the site. Or... leave and enjoy the sites you seem to think are so much better. Assholes.

what bothers me about these str to dvd cartoons is the voice acting changes. the voices on the justice league tv show are the familiar and gold standards.
green lantern has to be phil lemarr
lex luthor has to be clancy brown (no substitutes here)
