Review of Justice League: The New Frontier (2008) by Brad G — 04 Jul 2012
Based on Darwyn Cooke's utterly brilliant maxi-series of the same name, Justice League - The New Frontier is easily the best film from the modern wave of DC Animated direct-to-dvds. Not just an origin of the most famous super team, The New Frontier explores the birth of DC Comics set in the appropriate Silver Age of 1953.
The Korean War has come to a close: Hal Jordan attempts to recover from that horror by diving into the speed demon test pilot world, the Martian Manhunter arrives on Earth, Batman contemplates a more kid-friendly costume, and Superman struggles with his role in government.
But all that is small potatoes when the mysterious being known as The Center plots global destruction. Besides being one of the most epic narratives, The New Frontier also succeeds in capturing the retro vibe of artist Darwyn Cooke.
If you love comics and super hero films than you really must experience The New Frontier. VF.
