When I saw the cast list for The New Frontier I was really quite blown away.
From David Boreanaz to the late great Miguel Ferrer to Neil Patrick Harris, Lucy Lawless, Kyle MacLachlan, John Heard & Jeremy Sisto.
Sadly that's where the quality ends. It's animated and scored fine, but it's story is overly convoluted and an utter mess.
Set in the 1950's and including all your Justice League favorites the timeline makes absolutely no sense whatsoever and really put me off.
Certain characters like Batman have barely any presence in the film at all and may as well not even be in it.
I know I'm a harsh critic but this is a contender for the worst DC animation I've seen.
The Good:
Excellent opening
Great cast
The Bad:
Timeline is bizzare
Why do all the characters look the same?
Things I Learnt From This Movie:
Seeing Miguel Ferrer and John Heard in the same thing makes me a sad panda. RIP
