I admit, I’m a child of the Silver Age of DC Comics! I grew up on Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, the Flash, Green Lantern, the Atom, Adam Strange…and especially the Justice League of America. So I admit, “Justice League - The New Frontier (Two-Disc Special Edition)” brought a lump to my throat…it was like being a kid, again!

Based on Darwyn Cooke’s remarkable, nostalgic reworking of the birth of the Silver Age heroes during the transitional 1950s, the animated film homages the characters I grew up, loving (especially test pilot/Green Lantern Hal Jordan, the Martian Manhunter, and police scientist/Flash Barry Allen), in the context of the era, a decade of Communist paranoia, McCarthy witch hunts, the birth of the Space Age, and struggle for racial equality. One element Cooke ‘lifted’ from Frank Miller’s “Dark Knight” epic, that of the government ordering superheroes to ’stand down’, fits this saga exceptionally well, with Superman as the only ‘approved’ hero, Batman refusing to, thus becoming a wanted fugitive, and the ‘Golden Age’ heroes forced into retirement (I was disappointed not seeing more of the JSA, other than in the opening credits, but there are a LOT of characters that DO appear!)
Of course, a new, unstoppable, super-powered villain (the primeval, immortal ‘Centre’) picks this time to eradicate the human race, quickly knocking Superman out of the battle, and requiring the new generation of heroes, teamed with Batman and Wonder Woman, to save the world.

There are SO many touches I loved! A reworking of Hal Jordan’s origin as Green Lantern; the romances of Supes and Lois Lane, Jordan and Carol Ferris, and Barry Allen and Iris West; heroes I hadn’t seen in years (the Challengers of the Unknown and the Blackhawks), fighting along side Adam Strange, Green Arrow, Aquaman, and even a pre-Atom Ray Palmer; the superhero ‘Air Force’, with Wonder Woman’s invisible airplane, and the Bat-plane and Arrow-plane. Admittedly, many characters don’t get much screen time, but with a cast this large, it is understandable (it would be a problem of the ever-growing JLA of the comics, as well).
I have to mention the voice talent involved, as the casting was dead-on! David (TV’s ‘Angel’) Boreanaz as Jordan, Neil Patrick Harris (’Doogie Howser’) as Allen, Kyle (’Twin Peaks’) MacLachlan as Superman; Lucy (’Xena’) Lawless, a PERFECT Wonder Woman, Kyra (’The Closer’) Sedgwick as Lois, Brooke Shields as Carol, Vicki Lewis as Iris…this is truly an all-star affair! Two voice performers deserve special recognition; Miguel Ferrer is exceptional as the Martian Manhunter, combining an alien aloofness with compassion; and Jeremy Sisto has, arguably, the BEST voice for Batman I’ve ever heard…he really IS the Dark Knight!
While I admit Darwyn Cooke’s original story far outshines the film (original stories nearly always do), as someone who only sporadically looks at comics, these days, “Justice League” is a fabulous ‘blast from the past’.
Thank you, DC!
First of all, I will say this about this production…They cram a lot of DC comic history in less than 80 minutes of cartoon. The question is “Is it worth it?” I dont know
Second, I will say this has a big name cast to fill the boots of these Characters. Kyle Maclachlan bring a different to Superman. Neil Patrick Harris (who did the MTV version of Spiderman) is the Flash. Lucy Lawless (Xena) proves she is a vocal amazon as Wonder Woman. David Borenaz (Buffy’s favorite vamp Angel) lifts the chracter of Hal Jordan to new heights. Miguel Ferrer and Kyra Sedgwick are wasted in the roles of the Martian Manhunter and Lois Lane. Law and Order Jeremy Sisco put a new spin on Batman.
They also have vocal stunt casting of great audio talent who have a throw away line or three. People like Joe Mantegna, Phillip Morris and Brooke Shields are part of this large cast, but are wasted with a few throw away lines.
The story is faithful to Darwyn Cooke’s two part graphic novel. He also does one of the two audio commentary tracks. It still seems too rushed. Bruce Timm could have taken a bigger risk and done this as a three hour cartoon project, but I will take what I have
The production is a higher standard then most cartoons made for video, but when you push the envelope like Superman Doomsday (aka the Death of Superman), you need is push the time and the story past 80 minutes.
There is a trailer , on this DVD, for the next made for DVD animated feature, Batman Gotham Knight…It looks good! Dont forget to watch this!
On the Whole, it is worth giving this animated feature an airing
