Images From “Justice League: The New Frontier”

Despite the fact that I was only semi-entertained by Superman/Doomsday (why on earth did they insist on making Superman look like a 55 year old man?), I’m sufficiently stoked about the next DC Direct To DVD project. Based on Darwyn Cooke’s beautiful mini series, “New Frontier” looks to maintain Cooke’s art style while still incorporating a bit of the Dini magic, if these screenshots are any indication. Very, very excited to see how this baby turns out!

Definitely looking forward to this disc if it stays true to the plot as well as the look of the source material.

After being really disappointed with Doomsday - i have zero expectations on this one. The original comics were OK…I guess the 3 comics that DC chose for these animations were all old school to appeal to the 30+ crowd…Doomsday, Judas Contract and New Frontier are not for 18 and under, so why they don’t take it a bit further like anime is a reason why these things will fail. Why can’t they just keep Teen Titans and The Batman for the 12 and under crowd and create PG-13 to Mild R for everyone else?
And although I love just LOVE Bruce Timm - I want to see other takes on these characters. Sorry Darwyn Cooke is too close to Timm’s style - I would have liked to see a Peter Chung Batman and the Outsiders or something in that line.
I do understand that there is an anime-like Batman movie in the works now that is tied into the movie continuity and will be out with The Dark Knight…but don’t quote me on that.

I cannot wait for this DVD. Darwyn Cooke is one of my 3 favorite working cartoonists today, and he’s supposedly praising it. I don’t buy many DVDs, but I’ll definitely buy this.
