Hot off the heels of the recently released animated film “Superman/Batman: Public Enemies” comes word that a sequel is already on the way. According to Mania, Warner Premiere is so pleased by the performance of “Superman/Batman: Public Enemies”—which sold close to 200,000 copies in its first week—that they are actively looking to make ““Superman/Batman 2” the first sequel produced for their line of popular DC animated films.

While no further details have been revealed at this time, popular speculation has centered on at least two of the subsequent storylines by comic scribe Jeph Loeb: “Absolute Power,” which finds Superman and Batman raised as dictators by three time-traveling supervillains from the 31st century; and “With A Vengance,” which features Superman and Batman trapped in an alternate reality and hunted by the Maximums—the heroes of that Earth who were obvious analogues of Marvel’s “Ultimates” and “The Avengers.”

However, "The Supergirl From Krypton" would probably work best as the sequel to “Public Enemies”, since it directly followed “Public Enemies” in the original “Superman/Batman” comic and set up the subsequent storylines. As the title suggests, "The Supergirl From Krypton" reintroduced Supergirl into the modern DCU and followed Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman’s quest to train Supergirl and save her from Darkseid.
Given the early nature of this project, it will probably be at least a year or two before the film is released. The next DC animated DVDs will be the previously announced “Justice League: Crisis on Two Earths” film and the new line of DC Animated short features.

What storyline do you want to see made into the next “Superman/Batman” animated film? Would you want to see the same art style used in the next film, or should it change to match the work of Michel Turner or Carlos Pacheco? Let us know what you think in the comment section or on Twitter!

Wow, great. I was almost afraid we might get adaptions of more interesting comicbooks, like... I don't know... Sandman or Year 100. Thank god that's not the case.

Going Vertigo would be cool, but there are plenty of mainstream chracters who could use their own DVD treatment: Flash anyone?

I can definitely see it, there are many of great flash stories that DESERVE to get their animated treatment. and that's coming from a guy who doesn't read superhero comicbooks. ^^

but I would definitely love it to see some vertigo titles get animated. 100 bullets would be awesome as hell. eduardo risso's artstyle would work perfectly.

Well Superman|Batman sold alot since you know. Batman and Superman sell. It's really sad to see them ignore Flash, Nightwing, Teen Titans, Aquaman or even Catwoman (Bruce Timm wants people to forget the Halle Berry movie) movie. :\

Year 100 would be awesome.

That nightvision scene alone would be ****ing awesome in animation.

I'm very happy to hear about the sequel. I think they should just go with the 2nd story in the series which is the Supergirl story.

What ever they do as long as it's as faithful as the first movie I'll be happy.

Would be nice if they made the art look like the late Michael Turner's, like how they made the first look like Ed Mcguiness'.
