an entertaining collection of animated films
This is a collection of 5 animated movies, presenting various Superman adventures. The set consists of: 'Superman: Doomsday' (2007), 'Superman/Batman: Public Enemies' (2009), 'Superman/Batman: Apocalypse' (2010), 'Superman Vs The Elite' (2012), and 'Superman: Unbound' (2013). Each is a well-made, feature-length story.These films are part of the DC Universe Original Animated Movies catalogue, and are produced by the team behind the Justice League animated series. Each of these films can be purchased separately, and typically cost £5-10. As such, at about £13 for this collection it's a bargain.Some of these films are very good - especially 'Public Enemies' and 'Apocalypse'. Others are okay - namely 'Doomsday' and 'Unbound'. Finally, 'The Elite' is something of a let down. As such, it's a mixed bag. But if you're a fan of Superman then you'll likely enjoy giving each of them a watch. These movies are action-packed and do contain plenty of fighting and depictions of violence. As such, these are not really suitable for young children.Overall, this is an entertaining collection of superhero films. If you're a fan of the Man of Steel then I recommend this item.

All great movies!
I picked this up due to the hype off Man Of Steel. I had already seen all but 1 of the movies and have been very pleased that all of them are very good.DOOMSDAY makes for an interesting idea as a sequel to MoS but looks like that won't happen thanks to the announcement of Superman / Batman sequel in 2015.Thoroughly enjoyable movies all and well worth the money!

Worth it for Elite alone!
This pack comes with 5 Superman films;Superman vs The Elite;Based of the comic, 'What's so funny about Truth, Justice and the American Way?', this is the The best animated film of Superman that explores his characters early 20th century morales in a cynical 21st century world. Superman questions whether or not he's suitable to protect the world or not, if his values aren't reciprocated by the people, can he still be called their champion? Should he change who he is to adapt to an ever changing world? How can he show the world that the days of trials before execution haven't gone yet, that vigilantes are not above the law. To show the world the horrors of death, will the Man of Steel be prepared to kill? Or will he die defending the the world of yesterday?Superman: Doomsday;The film version of the story arch, 'The death of Superman'. A monster called Doomsday has been awoken, and is destroying Metropolis, and only Superman can stop it, no matter the cost. But there is more behind the scenes, with Lex Luthor ever obessing over the the Man of Tomorrow, even after his death.Superman: BrainiacBased of the comic, 'Brainiac', Superman and Supergirl join forces to fight the Collector of Worlds, Brainiac as he sets his sights on Earth.Superman/Batman: ApokolypsMore Superman/Batman/Wonder Woman to be exact, as the founders of the Justice League must travel to the world of Apokalyps, home of Darkseid to rescue the newly found Supergirl.Superman/Batman: Public EnemiesWhen Lex Luthor becomes president, Batman and Superman must clear their names after being proclaimed criminals.With a ridiculously low price, it's well worth it for any of these films, but for 5? If you love Superman, DC or simply comic films, buy this!

Is it a bird? Is it a plane?
5 animated Superman movies. Superman Unbound sees Superman and Supergirl take on Braniac. Superman Doomsday sees Superman take on Lex Luthor and Doomsday. Superman vs The Elite sees Superman up against a new ruthless team of superheroes lead by Manchester Black. Superman/Batman Apocalypse sees Superman, Batman, Supergirl and Wonder Woman take on Darkseid. And finally, Superman/Batman Public Enemies sees Superman and Batman take on Lex Luthor who is now President Of The United States. Excellent DVD boxset of DC animated films, all adapted from DC comic book storylines. Different voice casts for each with Tim Daly and Kevin Conroy reprising their roles as Superman and Batman from the 90's Superman and Batman animated shows with lots of DC heroes and villains going after them in Public Enemies. The DC animated movies here are all superb entertainment, some of the best that DC animation has to offer and very faithful to the original comics too and a must buy for DC fans. The 15 certificate suggests that this isn't for kids so don't be fooled into thinking that because it's Superman and a cartoon it's suitable for kids.

Excellent and at a Bargain price!
This 5 disc set includes: Superman & Batman: Public Enemies / Superman & Batman: Apocalypse / Superman: Doomsday / Superman: Unbound / Superman Vs. Elite.As these films are not available in region 2 and the imports are very expensive this is a great way to get them all for a very good price, all the films are excellent with my personal favourite being Superman & Batman: Public Enemies - amazing animation and great voice acting from Tim Daly & Kevin Conroy as Superman & Batman respectively.For those bored of Lex Luthor always being the villain, there is Doomsday, Brainiac, Darkseid, Manchester Black and lots of other cameos - although Lex Luthor is the main villain in Public Enemies (him being the President is a good twist though).Why this set does not include All-Star Superman is a very good question, however bought it separately on region 1 and it is also a very good film.
