Subj: I liked the mini-series a lot, and will probably get the DVD at some point.

Reply Subj: Anyone seen the "Justice League: The New frontier" animated straight-to-DVD movie?

> If not, it's ok. It did just come up today. I bought it which wasn't that hard to get since it was being sold at where I work (Go Target!).

> I liked the book it was based off of, which was called DC: The New Frontier (not sure why the title change, other then marketing, since the League as a group is hardly in it) & I like Darwyn Cooke's art. Sure, the movie cuts out some bits (It glazes over the Golden Age all together) & things where changed but that was to be expected: The main story is there. The animation is well done. So is the voice acting, a lot of big names or at least well known names are connected to the project. I have a few minor things that bothered me, nothing that was all that bad or distracting. I do find it kind of funny that Lucy Lawless voices Wonder Woman (from one Amazon to another!). Favorite bit of casting: Neil Patrick Harris (aka the man who was Doogie Howser) as Barry Allen. He (NPH) sounded like you'd think he (BA) would. I missed some of the voices used from other DC cartoons ( *sniff* R.I.P. Justice League *sniff*) but then using Cooke's art is different then the Timm style of art.

> A sticker on front proudly says that the Film is PG-13 but I think that is due to the violence being a bit ramped up from most normal cartoons & the term "Son of Bitch" is used a few times. But all in all a good film.
