Public Enemies marks Warner’s 6th direct-to-video DC Universe title, adapting the first instalment in the popular Jeff Loeb Superman/Batman series of comics. The title itself is pretty average – much like the rest of their previous accolade – not quite hitting the mark in terms of what you need for 80 minutes of pure action, adventure, thrills and decent storytelling, and providing just enough to keep you entertained for its brief runtime. The video is pretty damn good, the audio a little average, but the extras really make this a worthwhile purchase, including a bunch of excellent Justice League Unlimited episodes which – if you don’t already have the boxset – really add some value into the mix. Arguably better than the main feature themselves, they show what truly can be done to make a decent movie-style instalment. Overall, it’s worth checking out if you like the universe, and want to see a team-up of The Man of Steel and The Dark Knight, but otherwise you can probably just dip back into the relevant shows to get a better, more satisfying fix.
