OK, I want to say, 1st thing, that I received a free copy of this DVD for review but that in NO way affects my opinion here. I'm gonna be very honest about what I feel about this movie. This movie is AWESOME! Justice League, The New Frontier is Warner Brothers' latest DVD film that is being released to stores today, Feb 26th! It's the adaptation of Darwyn Cooke's popular graphic novel from a few years ago. He was an adviser on the film so it totally retains the look & feel of his famous artwork. The graphic style is sort of an homage to the animation art that was popular in the 1950's. Very simple & minimal with strong color palettes. The art direction of this film is beautiful. The sound effects & voice acting are top notch! There are too many great actors to name here but the voices were all wonderful. The storyline starts out in the Korean War & ends when John F. Kennedy is president so it's almost all about the Cold War era. The DC Comic Book characters are the ones from the Silver-Age of comics so that has a great nostalgic appeal. There's a few political statements here & there but they're kinda watered down ( The general public thinks The Flash might be a Communist because his costume is RED, ha ha ). The basic story is how the Justice League got together & formed a team. There's a huge event that places the earth in danger & they all get together to fight it. Overall I really enjoyed this movie & highly recommend it. My only gripe is that at 75 minutes it seemed a little short. Other than that small detail the artwork, sound e/fx, voices, storyline, is really very good. I guess if I was to rate it by number I would give it a 7 or 8 out of 10. If you liked the graphic novel then you'll love this animated version!

First, they will have Darwyn Cooke & Bruce Timm introducing the new Exclusive World Premier Movie Trailer for the JUSTICE LEAGUE: NEW FRONTIER Animated Film Cartoon! As we all know Bruce Timm worked on Batman: The Animated Series in 1992.

Here's the brand-new trailer for the DC Comics / Warner Brothers Animated feature JUSTICE LEAGUE: THE NEW FRONTIER. It's gonna be directed by Bruce Timm & is based on the graphic novel by Darwyn Cooke.
DC DIRECT has finally released the current THE NEW FRONTIER Action Figures Series 2 designed by Darwyn Cooke. Each figure stands about 6 1/2" tall & features multiple points of articulation with a base. In this set there are Batman, Martian Manhunter, Dr. Fate, & The Flash. Of course these figures are from the new Animated Movie & the previous Graphic Novel. I seriously love the Vintage "Retro Look" of these characters. What I have seen on this cartoon, mainly the trailers ( see earlier Bat-Blog posts ), is that this is gonna be a very exciting event for Silver-Age Comic Book Fans. Darwyn Cooke is a really great artist but the nice thing is you can tell that he really loves all these old DC Characters & it shows. If ya wanna see the other figures just click on the "Batman Action Figure" picture or the button below. You can purchase them thru TFAW who has super-excellent service. I've been dealing with them for years now.
DC Direct & DC Comics will be releasing THE NEW FRONTIER Series 2 Action Figures on December 11th, 2007. Look for these soon because they're gonna be awesome! The 2nd set includes Batman ( shown above & I seriously LOVE this figure! ), The Flash, Martian Manhunter, and Dr. Fate. They will each have multiple points of articulation and a display base. Also, the original comic book artist, Darwyn Cooke, designed the figures so they will be extremely accurate to his concept. For more info visit the Official DC: THE NEW FRONTIER page.
