Overview

Superman/Batman: Public Enemies is a 2009 animated film where the heroes confront a corrupt president who frames them as threats. Despite the high-stakes action and classic superhero rivalry, the movie avoids pushing specific cultural, political, or identity narratives. The label Neutral reflects its hands-off approach to divisive themes, focusing instead on character-driven conflict and heroism. It includes a female lead in Power Girl with notable combat roles, but otherwise maintains a traditional superhero tone with minimal emphasis on modern social issues.
