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.

I think my favourite thing about this movie was it wasn't the Superman and Batman (and Wonder Woman) show. Bats and Wonder Woman were barely in the final battle, and Superman wasn't at all! Very refreshing to see DC allowing the other characters to carry the story. I also enjoyed how they went with the Golden age costumes (where applicable) and Silver age costumes.
