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?

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?????

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. :\

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.
