I really like the concept of this. Superman and Batman, Yin and Yangs of each other, have a similar goal, figuring out Lex Luthor's plan as President of the United States, before being framed for a crime they didn't commit and realize that Luthor's tricked them the whole time.
I really would've liked this film to be a hard R. There's no continuity in these films, so really raise the stakes by having Batman or Superman deal with the moral dilemma of killing someone in self defense in order to achieve a greater good by stopping Luthor's plan at world domination and not to mention your own selfish survival.
Then again, we wouldn't have a Japanese Toyman Composite Superman giant robot in the film!
Visually and acting wise, there wasn't really a premise for superheroes to believe Luthor over the World's Finest.
Flaws aside, it was fun. Not a terrible film, but way far from a perfect score.
