Superman/Batman-Public Enemies is definitely hard to exceed, but this movie had all the basic essentials to do just that: solid story, wonderwoman, the return of darkseid. The fatal mistake in this endeavour is the artwork: the characters were not convincing(excluding diana). The new Darkseid simply doesn't project the fear and darkness, superman is too pretty(way too young) and bats is not coldblooded enough. Tops for the story, flops for the conception and artwork. I understand that maybe the producers felt the need to reinvent the main characters, but after they blew us away with the Justice League final episode(Destroyer), Batman(Red Hood) and Public Enemies, this was like a return to kindergarten. Great story that totally missed the mark in intensity thanks to the misguided exhuberance of the Artists trying to distinguish themselves, and the producers who totally failed in their professional duties. For the high standard of Batman/Superman, this was really bad artwork, and a great disservice to Darkseid(or whatever the hell that was).
