I actually enjoyed this one slightly more than the first Superman/Batman film. While the first one felt like the same thing happening over and over, this one had an interesting story, introducing quite a number of characters and the settings were awesome.
In particular, I really liked the final battles set in Smallville at Kent farm. The action sequences were awesome and it was a nice change of pace not to have the climax set out in space or on some distant planet.
All in all, not quite as good as the high standard set by other DC animated films, but still very solid.

Well paced story. Great action. Really good voice talents. Interesting to learn more about the origins of Supergirl. Has a few problems, but I was really entertained.

Terrific adaption of my favorite Superman/Batman comic.

This is a movie about finding one's place, and oneself, in a world of muscle-hot cartoon warrior women. It basically rules. I saw it the same day I saw Iron Man 3 and it's way way better. In fact, it probably remains the best superhero movie since Spider-Man 2. Or at least the original Iron Man.

Another good DC animation that uses Supergirl, Wonder Woman and Kirby's The New Gods to great effect. The only niggling thing is the art style; it seems to be trying ape the Michael Turner look which means we get a Batman with the really long ears which always looks a little daft. Still, ignore that and stay for the great fight sequences.

These DC animated movies are a lot of fun. They always have great voice acting and great action. The plots are always pretty outlandish and "comic book-y", but I'm into that kind of stuff so it works for me. I've seen this one before, but they're great to put on to pass the time.

To make room for other superheroes and give them a role in the story you need to make Superman and Batman more redundant. This makes the characters way less interesting and for me less enjoyable to watch. I understand the importance of the DC universe but using Superman and Batman as thier platform for entry of other lesser knowns isn't the way to go about it. Stick to the duo, that's all you need.

I have to keep reminding myself that just because Kevin Conroy does Batman in an animated movie, that doesn't mean it will be a good movie. This title is a good reminder that Warner Premiere doesn't really care about quality as much as it wants to keep churning out animated product. But hey, at least some part of Warner Bros. is making use of that DC Comics license.

"Well... did you come here to sightsee or fight?"
Ando en mood de superhéroes en estos días. Nuevamente DC demuestra que en la animación le está invirtiendo mejor a las historias que en el live action. No sé si es porque aquí hay más libertad a la hora de meter creatividad, pero de que hay buenas historias en esta división de DC, las hay.
En esta ocasión se nos presenta el origen de Kara Zor-El, prima de Kal-El (Superman) y el camino y decisiones que la llevaron a convertirse en Supergirl. A diferencia de la pobre presentación que tuvo este sexy personaje en la serie 'Smallville', aquí la directora es fiel a la novela gráfica en la que está basada…

Though Batman is in the title, his influence is not as large as you would hope. This is much more a Superman film with Batman tagged on for the drawing power.
Though there may not be anything overly wrong with this film, there isn't much that leaves you satisfied at the end.

Ni logra captar el espíritu de los héroes utilizados en el film ni consigue dar coherencia y épica a un guión plano, soso y superficial. Si a ello le sumamos un dibujo poco inspirado nos queda lo que hay: una película de animación correcta, siendo benévolos, que castigo con el suspenso al pensar en todas las buenas, en ocasiones excelentes, películas de DC que surgieron gracias al inmenso talento de gente como Bruce Timm.
