This post may contain spoilers : When Superman: The Animated Series made its debut on WB in 1996, I thought it would be great if there could be a team up with both Superman and Batman. Lo and Behold in 1997, my wish came true. Even though it is really a 3 part episode arc called World's Finest, named after the famous comic that teamed these two heroes up, I prefer this story as a full length movie, just like the Superman pilot, The Last Son of Krypton. This team up exceeded my expectations and gave me a team up story that neither Filmation, nor Ruby Spears, nor anything in live action could ever do.
I loved the fact that Batman and Superman are not exactly friends, but they are reluctant allies who, although do not trust each other, do have a mutual respect for one another. I also enjoyed their scenes together as Bruce Wayne and Clark Kent. Another exciting event was the reluctant pairing up of the Joker and Lex Luthor. And let's not forget the cat fight between Harley Quinn and Mercy Graves. Another great moment in this movie was the romance that developed between Bruce Wayne and Lois Lane. And if you want to know more, just rent the DVD, or better yet, buy it. It's well worth the price to get rid of her. Beyond this movie, I also loved the two together in other crossover episodes, Knight Time and the Demon Reborn. but World's Finest: The Batman/Superman Movie was a perfect animated story arc of all time.
