The Superman movie...
5 August 2005
...with Batman as a guest star.

This 60-minute 'feature length' show was put together from 3 separate 20-minute episodes of the Superman Animated show. Bruce Wayne and his alter-ego are in Metropolis on business. Guests they certainly are, in both senses. The bulk of the time sticks with Superman stuff.

The Joker has figured out a way to kill Soupey (that darn Kryptonite) and asks Lex Luthor for a billion dollars to pull it off. Thus, a plot involving Batman and Superman beating henchmen, escaping death traps and flying through the night sky follows.

It is rather amusing and the scenes where Kent and Wayne see through each other's identities is cool. But there's no great plot to get involved in and it ends a bit abruptly. Gotta love that Joker though.

Overall, one of the weaker Batman entries, only just rises above Sub-Zero, which I regarded as the worst. See Mystery of the Batwoman or Mask of the Phantasm instead.
