Warner Home Video and DC Comics have been going to town with their animated direct-to-DVD films, and they've just been getting better and better as time goes on, with their latest release, Wonder Woman, possibly the best to date, and Green Lantern: First Flight looking equally promising. Now, according to Harry Knowles at Ain't It Cool News, we know that the next animated film will be Superman/Batman: Public Enemies.

The synopsis for the film reads as follows:
United States President Lex Luthor uses the oncoming trajectory of a kryptonite asteroid to frame Superman and declare a $1 billion bounty on the heads of the Man of Steel and his "partner in crime" Batman. Super heroes and super villains alike launch a relentless pursuit of Superman and Batman, who must unite - and recruit super help - to stave off the action-packed onslaught, stop the asteroid, and uncover Luthor's devious plot to take command of far more than North America.


The synopsis suggests that the film will be based on the storyline from the Superman/Batman comic series from Jeff Loeb and Ed McGuinness. While on the one hand, it's a little disappointing after Wonder Woman and Green Lantern: First Flight to see that they're going back to adapting comic storylines instead of creating new ones, it's always interesting to see what is coming out the DC Animated Universe.
