Justice League: The New Frontier (DC Universe Original Movie)

Set around the early 1950s, an entity called The Centre was born from the molten center of creation. For many years, he has developed many attributes unlike those that walk the surface of the Earth. Soon the planet is hit by a meteor and new life emerges, thus bringing with it chaos. Among this new life, humans begin to walk the Earth. Fragile as The Centre sees us, he also sees our vicious and destructive nature. Within seconds, he witnesses our harnessing of “the most destructive force” (nuclear weapons) and has had enough. He then concludes that the earth must be purged of the destructive human race. While this is all being prophesied and written down in a story book by an unknown person, he closes the book, titled “The Last Story,” and shoots himself. This is only the beginning of what seems to be the toughest battle that world has to face. Superman, Wonder Woman, Batman, Green Lantern, Martian Manhunter, Flash, and other superheroes that have not worked with each other before must band together and form an alliance against this gigantic monster. If they fail, the planet will be “cleansed” of all humanity. This movie tells the amazing origins of a few of our favorite superheroes of all time. Not to mention, this movie is chock full of all favorite DC superheroes, too! This film is a great watch and a great way to introduce yourself to the DC universe through film, aside from reading the graphic novels. Justice League: The New Frontier is a great movie! I recommend it for anyone that loves DC or superheroes. Come down to the library and check out this amazing epic!
