Justice League: The New Frontier: Directed by Dave Bullock. With David Boreanaz, Miguel Ferrer, Neil Patrick Harris, John Heard. In the 1950s, a new generation of superheroes must join forces with the community’s active veterans and a hostile US government to fight a menace to Earth.

“Synopsis: This animated feature is set in the 50s during the era of cold-war paranoia with a population that doesnu0026#39;t trust superheroes and a government that doesnu0026#39;t trust anyone. There is a malevolent force which has watched humanity grow in strength and violence and it has decided it has to eliminate it. Also included in the plot are shortened versions of Martian Manhunter and Green Lanternu0026#39;s origin stories.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThis filmu0026#39;s setting is really used to great effect and the heroes have a classic Golden Age look about them (though their attitudes remain anachronistically modern, especially Wonder Woman). Iu0026#39;m sure there references to many of the other DC characters that Iu0026#39;m just not very familiar with.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eOverall the main story was fairly routine. There may have been just too many characters and the story tried to do too much. Aquaman got one line and I donu0026#39;t think Green Arrow even got that. Even though I liked it I think itu0026#39;s going to mainly be one for the comic book fans”
