Description:
Inspired by the best-selling graphic novel by Darwyn Cooke and produced by the multiple Emmy® award winning animation legend, Bruce Timm, The New Frontier is the epic tale of the founding of the Justice League. Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman are all here of course, and so are Green Lantern, Martian Manhunter and Flash - whose incredible origins will be told for the very first time. Strangers at first, these very different heroes must overcome fear and suspicion to forge an alliance against a monster so formidable, even the mighty Superman can not stop it. If they fail, our entire planet will be 'cleansed' of humanity.

Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Not appropriate for small children
I grew up watching cartoons like batman, superman, wonder woman, etc. So when my three year old son begged me to buy the video, I did. Things must have changed since I grew up. I thought the target audience of these cartoons were kids. I was shocked when I heard my son say "mommy the lady say 'Son of a bitch'". I watched the video and couldn't believe that type of language would be in a superhero cartoon. Well now I am trying to remove this new word from my child's vocabulary.
Rating:  - Justice for The New Frontier
Justice League: The New Frontier is a good representation of the original Cooke story, but I think it could have benefited from a longer running time and less emphasis on Hal Jordan.
Rating:  - Not really the Justice League, more like Hal Jordan fan service
As others have mentioned if you go in expecting a Justice League experience like JLU or the JL animated series you are going to be very disappointed. This is more of a retelling of silver age Hal Jordan.
Putting Bat/Supes and WW on the front cover is pure bait and switch, as a die hard fan of JL animated and JLU I feel a bit insulted by this move by DC.
Rating:  - Mature Content, Excellent Extras
I really enjoy the Justice League cartoon, and everything Bruce Timm does, but this is not really associated with that, so some people may be disappointed. Timm only produces this, so it may have a different feel than you are used to, as well.
Other than that, excellent, violent, mature, fun to just see a different and decidedly retro reworking of the characters we like so much. People die badly, Wonderwoman is a bit edgier.
The voice casting is very good. I'll always prefer Kevin ... Read More
Rating: - It Was OK But Nothing Special
I've never really been a fan of the animated comic book movies, but I decided to give it a try as still being a fan of the heroes I find the Justice League interesting. What I was given was good, but nothing amazing and it certainly didn't change my perception of these types of animated movies.
The story is set in the 1950's and focuses around the original formation of the Justice League of America. Batman and Detective John Jones are trying to solve the mystery of the Centre, Superman ... Read More
