Re: Kevin Conroy, Tim Daly, and Clancy Brown to voice Superman/Batman
I had a chance to re watch the JLU episode where Lex switches bodies with Flash and Michael Rossenbaum gets to portray Lex and Mike did a tremedous job mimicking Clancy's voice and even throwing in some Flashisms. I would have liked to see Micheael get the job but Clancy is an awesome Luthor, nice to see Tim Daly back.

It is Catman with the claw marks on his costume.
As for the one on the far left, that's the Kestrel. He's a villain of Hawk & Dove.

Re: Kevin Conroy, Tim Daly, and Clancy Brown to voice Superman/Batman
They both did very well at mimicking each other. Though that's largely because of the way Andrea Romano recorded their performances: for a Flash line, for instance, first she'd have Rosenbaum read the line in character, then have Brown mimic his delivery to get the version that would be used in the episode. And vice-versa for a Lex line.
Ironically, even though the episode was conceived as a Smallville homage with Rosenbaum playing Lex, it turned out that we heard a lot more of Brown playing the Flash, because Lex in Flash's body was too busy fighting to talk much.

Has DVD cover art which the two-disc version mirrors the TPB cover! Nice touch.

Re: Kevin Conroy, Tim Daly, and Clancy Brown to voice Superman/Batman
Good catch. His costume design is very similar to Hawk's (albeit with a different color scheme), which is why I thought of Hawk. Kestrel had completely slipped my mind, though.

She is indeed.

I re-read the Public Enemies TPB today and really look forward to this on DVD. Since this is a stand-alone story (separate from JLU and other series and also doesn't focus on origins like Wonder Woman and GL), I wonder how they're going to approach character development. Or will they even bother? For most comic fans, they already know the main and secondary characters, but those who aren't so familiar with the DCU may find it hard to identify or connect with people like Captain Atom, Power Girl, the Batman family, etc. I can hardly wait.

The artwork isn't impressive. Why can't they with their CGI marvels ever create a Jim Lee drawn cartoon?

Re: Kevin Conroy, Tim Daly, and Clancy Brown to voice Superman/Batman
Because that would be way too expensive for a DTV. Plus they're aiming here for artwork that translates Ed McGuinness's style into animation, not Jim Lee's style. If they adapt a Jim Lee storyline then they'll aim at translating his style. I think the artwork is impressive for this budget level.
Re: Kevin Conroy, Tim Daly, and Clancy Brown to voice Superman/Batman
^ Part of the goal of the DTV's has been to explore different forms of animation...at least that is what Timm and the other producers have stated in the past. Ed McGuiness has a very distinctive anime style to his art work that fits right in with what they are trying to accomplish. Superman/Batman Public Enemeis therefor wouldn't work if they weren't looking at translating that art to the small screen. If they were to use Jim Lee's art they would have to adapt For Tomorrow, which I hope they won't. Besides which McGuiness's work on the first arc of Superman/Batman was one of the reasons I am looking forward to seeing this DVD. I love his rendition of Superman.
