I admit, I’m a child of the Silver Age of DC Comics! I grew up on Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, the Flash, Green Lantern, the Atom, Adam Weird…and especially the Justice League of America. So I admit, “Justice League – The Unusual Frontier (Two-Disc Special Edition) ” brought a lump to my throat…it was like being a kid, again!

Based on Darwyn Cooke’s much, nostalgic reworking of the birth of the Silver Age heroes during the transitional 1950s, the enthralling film homages the characters I grew up, loving (especially test pilot/Green Lantern Hal Jordan, the Martian Manhunter, and police scientist/Flash Barry Allen), in the context of the era, a decade of Communist paranoia, McCarthy witch hunts, the birth of the Dwelling Age, and struggle for racial equality. One element Cooke ‘lifted’ from Frank Miller’s “Dusky Knight” narrative, that of the government ordering superheroes to ’stand down’, fits this saga exceptionally well, with Superman as the only ‘approved’ hero, Batman refusing to, thus becoming a wanted fugitive, and the ‘Golden Age’ heroes forced into retirement (I was disappointed not seeing more of the JSA, other than in the opening credits, but there are a LOT of characters that DO appear!)
Of course, a novel, unstoppable, super-powered villain (the primeval, immortal ‘Centre’) picks this time to eradicate the human hurry, speedily knocking Superman out of the battle, and requiring the unusual generation of heroes, teamed with Batman and Wonder Woman, to effect the world.

There are SO many touches I loved! A reworking of Hal Jordan’s origin as Green Lantern; the romances of Supes and Lois Lane, Jordan and Carol Ferris, and Barry Allen and Iris West; heroes I hadn’t seen in years (the Challengers of the Unknown and the Blackhawks), fighting along side Adam Unique, Green Arrow, Aquaman, and even a pre-Atom Ray Palmer; the superhero ‘Air Force’, with Wonder Woman’s invisible airplane, and the Bat-plane and Arrow-plane. Admittedly, many characters don’t net remarkable cloak time, but with a cast this tremendous, it is understandable (it would be a quandary of the ever-growing JLA of the comics, as well) .
I have to mention the assert talent interested, as the casting was dead-on! David (TV’s ‘Angel’) Boreanaz as Jordan, Neil Patrick Harris (’Doogie Howser’) as Allen, Kyle (’Twin Peaks’) MacLachlan as Superman; Lucy (’Xena’) Lawless, a PERFECT Wonder Woman, Kyra (’The Closer’) Sedgwick as Lois, Brooke Shields as Carol, Vicki Lewis as Iris…this is truly an all-star affair! Two exclaim performers deserve special recognition; Miguel Ferrer is exceptional as the Martian Manhunter, combining an alien aloofness with compassion; and Jeremy Sisto has, arguably, the BEST grunt for Batman I’ve ever heard…he really IS the Unlit Knight!
While I admit Darwyn Cooke’s novel memoir far outshines the film (unusual stories nearly always do), as someone who only sporadically looks at comics, these days, “Justice League” is a astonishing ‘blast from the past’.
Thank you, DC!
First of all, I will say this about this production…They cram a lot of DC amusing history in less than 80 minutes of cartoon. The put a question to is “Is it worth it? ” I dont know
Second, I will say this has a enormous name cast to absorb the boots of these Characters. Kyle Maclachlan bring a different to Superman. Neil Patrick Harris (who did the MTV version of Spiderman) is the Flash. Lucy Lawless (Xena) proves she is a vocal amazon as Wonder Woman. David Borenaz (Buffy’s celebrated vamp Angel) lifts the chracter of Hal Jordan to current heights. Miguel Ferrer and Kyra Sedgwick are wasted in the roles of the Martian Manhunter and Lois Lane. Law and Order Jeremy Sisco keep a modern ride on Batman.
They also have vocal stunt casting of grand audio talent who have a throw away line or three. People like Joe Mantegna, Phillip Morris and Brooke Shields are fragment of this sizable cast, but are wasted with a few throw away lines.
The yarn is faithful to Darwyn Cooke’s two section graphic original. He also does one of the two audio commentary tracks. It level-headed seems too rushed. Bruce Timm could have taken a bigger risk and done this as a three hour cartoon project, but I will grasp what I have
The production is a higher standard then most cartoons made for video, but when you push the envelope like Superman Doomsday (aka the Death of Superman), you need is push the time and the legend past 80 minutes.
There is a trailer, on this DVD, for the next made for DVD curious feature, Batman Gotham Knight…It looks qualified! Dont forget to discover this!
On the Whole, it is worth giving this tantalizing feature an airing
