Justice League: New Frontier

Quote:

Thanks to his convincing portrayal of womanizer Barney Stinson in How I Met Your Mother, Neil Patrick Harris has once again established himself as one of the biggest celebrities in the television industry. However, his success on the show has not hindered him from pursuing other notable projects, one of which is the upcoming animated film, Justice League: The New Frontier.

Although fans of the How I Met Your Mother star will not be able to see him acting on screen, they will be able to hear him as Barry Allen- aka The Flash- in the film. For those who are unfamiliar with Harris’ character, Barry Allen is actually the second Flash in the DC Comics universe. He first appeared in October 1956 and has since then been incarnated in several other media.

Justice League: The New Frontier is an adaptation of Darwyn Cooke’s award-winning six-issue graphic novel, DC: The New Frontier. The story is set in the 1950’s and serves as a bridge between the Golden and Silver Ages of Comics in the DC Universe. The film will center on Neil Patrick Harris’ Flash, Martian Manhunter and Hal Jordan/ Green Lantern.

David Boreanaz (Angel, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Bones) is set to voice Green Lantern. Other characters that will appear on the film adaptation are Superman (Kyle Maclachlan), Wonder Woman (Lucy Lawless), Carol Ferris (Brooke Shields), King Faraday (Phil Morris), Batman, Aquaman and Dick Grayson.

The film adaptation is written by Stan Berkowitz, and will be released alongside two other features, Superman: Doomsday and Teen Titans: The Judas Contract, on January 28, 2008.
Raph's Girl note: I wonder if David Boreanaz and Neil Patrick Harris will reprise their roles as Barry Allen and Hal Jordon in The Batman??

Yea.. Barry and Hal seem to be the in thing at the moment. They're being used in this film and they're in the next season of The Batman.

Jester 07-11-2007 04:58 PM

The big question is...who will voice Batman? I'm rooting for Kevin Conroy...he's the best.

gobo 07-11-2007 05:37 PM

Cuz Kevins have to stick together, right? :D

Spawn Guy 07-11-2007 05:44 PM

Pretty sure Conoroy was already confirmed...

Brodie 07-11-2007 06:12 PM

It's Barry and Hal because its NEW FRONTIER. It's a comic that happened recently that was uber stylized, and dealt with like origin stuff. And where the JLA came from as a whole. And its in the 50's. So hence: Barry and Hal.

It's not because they're the "in" thing.

Spawn Guy 07-11-2007 06:20 PM

Anything out there about Taskforce X, The Challengers or the Suicide Squad showing up in this thing?

Im sure they will. Seems to indicate that all the characters from the comic series will be in the movie.

Maybe....he's also one of my VA idols.

Spike Spiegel 07-14-2007 11:59 AM

I hope to God that Kevin Conroy is the voice of Batman. I grew up on the animated series, I even imagine hearing his voice when I read the comics. He simply defines the character for me. Him and Michael Keaton and Christian Bale are the best Batmen.

Spawn Guy 07-14-2007 06:49 PM

Bale is the best Bruce Wayne maybe...

Ron Pearlman kicks ass as Batman.

Same here! And here's hoping Tim Daly is Superman as well.

Raph's Girl 07-20-2007 07:57 PM

Read the article. Kyle Maclachlan is the voice of Superman in this one. Mostly cuz the story has nothing to do with Superman TAS.

Also those wondering about Batman. Steven Blum (Wolverine in the Upcoming Wolverine and The X-Men series, but known more as the voice of TOM the robot host of Toonami) has been cast as Batman/Bruce Wayne and Steve Staley (Electro in the upcoming Spectacular Spider-man series) has been cast as Robin/Dick Greyson

Dr. Doom 07-20-2007 09:18 PM

-=Squeals=- Steve Blum is my favoritest VA ever. :3

Spike Spiegel 07-21-2007 09:35 AM

Wasn't Steve Blum also the voice of Roger Smith on the Big O?????

:o :o :o :o

If he's who I think he is, I'm just as happy as I would be if it was Conroy!

:edit:

Wow, after checking Wikipedia I see that he is who I think he is. What a great choice for the voice of Batman!!

Spawn Guy 07-21-2007 03:26 PM

Wonder how he'll do it. Hopefully not like his Wolverine. Not because it's bad, that's actually who replaced Mark Hamil's version in my brain for reading.

Bruce Wayne is going to be smooth as ice though.

And it's Grayson RG.

Dr. Doom 07-21-2007 03:33 PM

I still hear Cal Dodd. :\

Raven 07-21-2007 03:43 PM

Newsarama just posted a first look of the film

Spawn Guy 07-21-2007 03:59 PM

Those kind of responces are really why everyone should stay the hell away from anything on Newsarama that isn't actually news. I don't know why I just read the whole responce thing, I really don't think I hate myself that much.

Yeah its best to ignore the responces on there, they seem to hate every thing that pops on there.

Dr. Doom 07-21-2007 04:05 PM

I'm suprised that it seems to have the same familiar DCU art style. That being the case, ti may be kinda strange hearing different voices coming out of everyone. (Not that it isn't by default, really)

ZariusTwo 07-21-2007 05:12 PM

Sounds like a fair timeslot, just six minutes under Mask of the Phantasm, the only theatrical DCAU movie.

Jester 07-21-2007 05:36 PM

Wait...this isn't DtD, it's actually a theatrical release...whaere have I been.

On another note, anyone have a good sample of Blume? Hearing Toonami Tom as Batman has me conserned.

Dr. Doom 07-21-2007 05:58 PM

I'd look to Steve Blum as Vincent Valentine in Advent Children or Dirge of Cerberus for reference.

Whoops! Missed that somehow. Thanks. But I still don't see why that have to recast everybody from the ground up if they embody the character so well already.

No one will beat Conroy as Batman in my eyes. "Wolverine" as Batman should be interesting though. I'm quite looking forward to David B. and Lucy Lawless as Lantern and Wonder Woman. Does anyone know if Green Arrow is going to be in New Frontier? The article didn't mention him. I know he was in the comics version, but I also know a lot of stuff got cut out for time in the animated version's script.

Looking forward to getting this on DVD.

Spawn Guy 07-21-2007 11:33 PM

He might not make it. Other than flying the arrow plane he dosen't do much. Batman dosen't either, but he's go the mystery angle and he's Batman so he can pull it off. That and he kinda helps J'onn start putting the peices together. And the "All I need is a box of matches line" is gold.

Raph's Girl 07-22-2007 09:37 PM

First image is up!!

This screen shot looks very identical to an image in the 2nd book in the 6 part series (the movie is all of em combined) Wonder Woman is in China.

http://graphics8.nytimes.com/images/...s/comic600.jpg

There are several differences between that image and the book. Mostly the differences in the outfits and Wonder Woman's hair.

This image is from the comic:

Spawn Guy 07-22-2007 09:44 PM

You're a couple of posts behind Raven.

Raph's Girl 07-22-2007 10:19 PM

Whoops...ah well..sorry about that.. my image is from a different place anyways (The new york times)...and I was really just comparing it to the original. :P

Spitfire 07-22-2007 10:21 PM

Love how the girl who has the gun is behind someone and it's hard to catch*If that's a gun at all* and the girl with the sword is gone.

Ah remember the days when cartoons had guns? And people like fired them, and they used bullets and not laser beams? And when people got shot with them or got beat up to bad they'd spit up blood? Ah the good old days.

Spawn Guy 07-23-2007 07:57 AM

No. Bullets, yes. Blood, no.

gobo 07-23-2007 08:17 AM

Really... I had to wonder what 'toons you were referring to as well. :lol: I recall primetime animation like Beavis & Butt-Head and The Simpsons showing blood, but not kids shows. As for guns and bullets, Looney Tunes has that covered. Coughing up blood... no clue. Refresh my memory, please.

Spike Spiegel 07-23-2007 02:56 PM

Well, that version of Wonder Woman is certainly more curvy-looking:P :P ...

Spawn Guy 07-26-2007 07:34 PM

"Think clean thoughts chum."

Spike Spiegel 07-28-2007 08:32 AM

Haha, where is that from?

Anyway, I just always liked that about the comic series in general. Too often I see WW drawn as a skinny waif with tennis balls in her shirt, and the art style of New Frontier is very refreshing to me. I like the retro-ness of it.

:edit: Sorry about the double post...

Spawn Guy 07-28-2007 11:21 AM

Alan Moore's "For The Man Who Has Everything". It's a Superman Annual Story. It guest stared Batman, Wonder Woman and Robin. You can kind if see where that's going.

Spike Spiegel 07-28-2007 11:24 AM

I read the comic a long time ago in "The Best Superman Stories Ever Told" and saw the JLU episode (I own seasons 1 & 2 on DVD:P :P :P ).

I just didn't recognize the quote, I'll have to find the comic and read it again.

Raph's Girl 08-06-2007 03:13 PM

Check it out! A Behind the scenes sneak peak of New Frontier! Wowsers! This movie is gonna rock! :o

Spike Spiegel 08-06-2007 03:45 PM

Eh...that video says, "Jeremy Sisto as Batman" ??

So is Steve Blum not doing it after all...??
