Funny, strange, confrontational and subversive, this is one of the most interesting experiences you'll have at the cinema this year.

The story-telling is good with flashbacks.The film is both funny and heartbreaking. You smile in a scene and get a soulcrushing revelation in the next.

Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

Batman/Superman: Apocalypse starring Kevin Conroy as the voice of Batman, Summer Glau as the voice of Kara Zor El A.k.a Supergirl, Tim Daily as Clark Kent A.k.a Superman, Susan Eisenberg as Wonder Woman and Andre Braugher as Darkseid. This is why DC will always be better than Marvel when it comes to Animation they make they're characters being interesting, funny but also have some dramatic past. Having Batman smile twice and saying one liners threw out the film that they are actually funny that is seriously awesome, also Kara reacts how i pictured her to do she's a child she likes shopping, having her nails done or even eating hot dogs and then people go crazy because she reacts like that in her own show seriously? If they can make Superman and Supergirl have the same chemistry like in this then i'm in being goofy and having fun with themselves. Also the battles are very well done with the Doomsday Army but also Darkseid himself. There's also a scene that reminded me Dawn of Justice because Batman leaves the battle in order to go to the beach and investigate i mean i get it but it was so funny in a good way always. Also Darkseid? This dude is badass everyone says that Thanos is so powerful and all that but this guy has Omega Bins he almost turned Superman into Two-Face for god shakes. The only problem i have with this film is that i would love to see Batman do more fight someone or something instead of getting chased or get choked by Darkseid but in the end this was a very good movie with some really good action, laughs but also cast and animation.

In preparation for the upcoming Batman V Superman film, I've decided to revisit a few of each of the heroes' feature films, especially those where they come in direct conflict with one another.It's considered a direct sequel to 2009's Worlds Finest film, but in reality, it's its own entity. It's also not really a Superman & Batman film at all. With the story line directly focusing on the appearance of Supergirl and the inclusion of Wonder Woman and the Amazonians, it's almost like a mini Justice League film. If you're going in looking for a classic Batman & Superman story, this isn't it. But if you're looking for yet another solid entry in the DC Animated Universe, then I think there's enjoyment to be had here.Supergirl (Kara) enters the world in full Terminator glory and is discovered by none other than Batman. As him and Superman debate as to what they should do with her, Darkseid and his minions try to take things in their own hands. Wonder Woman believes Supergirl should be kept away from civilization until her powers are under control but Superman believes she should live with him as he teaches her the way of the world. Of course, Kara has her own idea of the life she should live. And that's really the basis the film goes by. Other than Batman and Superman both being in the film, it's not their story at all.The film does pick up however once they go to Darkseid's planet of Apocalypse itself after he kidnapped Kara. Darkseid's presence in this film is pretty much the exact representation I would hope the live action universe uses. He's calculating, manipulating, cool, calm, and collected. Throw in some omega beams and an unstoppable physical presence and you get DC's potentially best villain.Even though this film is entertaining and definitely satisfying by its end, there has to be some let down in the fact that it doesn't ever feel like a Batman and Superman film. It's one of my biggest fears of Batman V Superman. Keep the film even in tone and focus, and don't mislead your audience. If you do that, I don't think people will be disappointed. So with all that said, Superman/Batman Apocalypse is a decent entry in a distinguished line of incredible animated films, it's just unfortunate it doesn't live up to its predecessor.+Darkseid's presence+Well realized characters through voice work+Supergirl is handled correctly-But it's not a Superman/Batman film at all-A let down in some regards7.7/10

OK, so this is the film. The first half or so is very choppy, going from this to that in an instant and you're just like "Wait, what?" and I feel like they could've done a lot better with the introduction of one of the characters (because the character comes off as bratty and annoying even though the character isn't). There was also a big action sequence that I felt made very little sense (keep Superman: Doomsday in mind and you'll get what I mean). The second half is a lot better, especially towards the end. In fact, if they removed pretty much all of the first half, the second half would have been a really great film at about 8 or even a 9 out of 10. Batman and Superman are portrayed pretty good, and you'll enjoy when they are on screen. The animation is good, but I feel like there were missed opportunities here and there, like certain angles and ways they could've done things that would've had more of an impact emotionally. Overall, I'd say a 6/10.

For a direct-to-video movie, this was pretty decent: The designs and the animation were pretty well done, and the plot was entertaining enough, from my point of view: In many ways, I think that this was much better than the previous film Superman/Batman: Public Enemies, which had a rushed story and an unconvincing artwork (From my taste, at least. Personally I prefer the art style used in films like this or in the animated adaptation of the comic "Batman: Year One")My only complaint about this movie is the pace: Every single event that takes place in this movie happens just way too fast, something that gives the feeling that some scenes from this film were underdeveloped, without exploiting all the potential that many plot points could have. 78 minutes weren't just enough time to tell the whole story properly. Anyway, even when this isn't the best DC animated movie, it is still a pretty good one (But that could have been much better)Overall, I consider it a worth-watching experienceMy score:6.5/10
