[edit] Overview
Justice League: The New Frontier adapts Cooke's award-winning mini-series DC: The New Frontier. Set in the 1950s, the story bridges the gap between the Golden and Silver Ages of comics in the DC Universe. The film will focus heavily on two main stars, Hal Jordan (Green Lantern) and the Martian Manhunter. However, dozens of DC characters could potentially appear, echoing the book's huge cast. "We are going to honor as many characters as possible," Noveck confirms. "The decision has been made, however, that where the story calls for it, we are not going to have just a random 'Joe Blow.' It will be somebody." Also central to the story will be Barry Allen, a.k.a. The Flash.
Other characters confirmed to appear are Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Aquaman, Robin, King Faraday and Carol Ferris.
