Eye Candy #392 - "Justice League - The New Frontier"

Justice League - The New Frontier:  I wouldn't say that this is necessarily the most accessible DC/Justice League animated movie, mostly because it does that which comic book fans appreciate - it stays fairly close to the source material and references the minutae (Dr. Erdel, for example, who is responsible for the arrival of the Martian Manhunter) that may go completely over a "newbie's" head. The Justice League, Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman, Green Lantern, and the Flash, struggle to find their place in society after the Korean War. I've only read the comic upon which this is based sparingly (I read the first part with the Losers on Dinosaur Island, which they only reference very briefly in this movie), but for a re-imagining to the 1950's, it was entertaining. The animation was solid and the voice talent was well-cast. Woodchuck sez, "Comic fans should definitely check it out. All others may enjoy it as well."
