I didn't think I'd like this movie but I enjoyed it a lot. I was totally surprised by the people they had as voice actors and actresses for Batman and Wonder Woman, Lois Lane and Superman.
PS, if you like Justice League and Justice League Unlimited then you will enjoy this movie. The only problem I had with this movie is that it wasn't long enough. I give Justice League - The New Frontier a 5 out of 5.

A bit anti-climactic, given the advertising, but it is kind of cool to see these heroes in their circa 1950's uniforms. It's nice to see the Hal Jordan Lantern, too. But overall I was disappointed in the length of the film, most specifically it's brevity. And padding the disk with extra JLU episodes doesn't help, since the story itself is a total departure from the version depicted in the earlier JLA storylines regarding the formation of the league and the advent of the Watchtower. Not to mention that any self-respecting comic fan who would shell out their dough for this disk has the previous disks already, as a matter of course. Good for a rental only, unfortunately -for me, twenty-three bucks or so poorer- IMO. But Wonder Woman in combat boots almost makes up for it. Almost.

As a lifelong comics fan, this DVD was a real treat. The story, the animation style, and the characterizations all felt like stepping back to the beloved stories of my childhood, the late 50s and early 60s. I had not read Darwyn Cooke's original series, upon which this was based, but I had heard good things about it, and I was not disappointed. I am also a fan of Bruce Timm's' various animated treatments of Batman, Superman, and the Justice League. This ranks right up alongside those top flight efforts. And the casting was dead-on. Neil Patrick Harris as Barry Allen/Flash, David Boreanaz as Hal Jordan/Green Lantern, and Jeremy Sisto as Batman (Bruce Wayne is curiously absent) were all inspired choices. And Lucy Lawless as Wonder Woman? Need I say more? The only way to improve on this would have been to make it a live-action movie, using these same actors. I consider this money well-spent on my tight collector's budget!

After watching the Justice League TV show and Justice League Unlimited TV show, I was a little disappointed after watching this movie. Perhaps I was expecting a continuation of the TV show, and that's not what this is. The voices were good, but the animation was not as good as it was in the TV show and seems to have been written completely differently. In the end, however, the movie was entertaining and I really did enjoy watching it.

This is a great superhero movie. An quality story in its own right, and a faithful adaptation of the excellent graphic novel it is based on.
