About This Page: This is a discussion on Media, Movies and Music within the LetsGoKings.com forums, at Los Angeles Kings Hockey Fan Forum. Yep. They made it into an animated movie.
And it's awesome.
It may not be your cup of soup if you're not a "DC Person".
It's based on the New Frontier mini by Darwyn Cooke.
"DC: The New Frontier is an Eisner, Harvey, and Shuster Award-winning six-issue comic book limited series written and drawn by Darwyn Cooke and published by DC Comics from 2003 to 2004, collected in two paperback volumes in 2004 and 2005 and an Absolute Edition in 2006. The story has been adapted as an animated movie titled Justice League: The New Frontier to be released on February 26th, 2008.
The series is reminiscent of works such as Kingdom Come and The Golden Age. Similar to The Golden Age, New Frontier takes place primarily in the 1950s, and depicts the Golden Age superheroes Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman meeting the The Flash, Green Lantern, and Martian Manhunter. The story bridges the gap from the end of the Golden Age to the beginning of the Silver Age of comic books in the DC Universe."

Bringing this thread back from the brink due to having watched the movie last night (on HD DVD which was only released last week).
Having read the original run by Cooke, I'd have to give this one a solid 4/5 rating. Voices were well-cast. The longer-running Special Features on the disk were good and there are multiple commentaries. It really needed more than 70 minutes running time though. Hopefully Warner realizes this for their future releases (the Dark Knight tie-in is next I think(?), then Titans and then Wonder Woman?)
I have it in my stack to watch. It was a great Limited Series by Cooke so I had to buy it on DVD.
I'm a long time comic book geek but stopped in the mid-90's for almost a decade. I've been getting back into the game in the last couple of years but am only buying trades.
