Justice League: New Frontier - excerpt

[palpatine17]

@caranauba:

Wow, are you proud of your apathy then??

[MrCrazyhbk]

stop at 0:54 and read the paper

[thebluedragon07]

hmm it seems that the day after the publishing of that paper that on July 16 1960 JFK made this very speech.

[Superbat577]

Wow... I think I just shivered.

[cereghino1]

who is that girl in the teen titans holding a bird in 1:06?

[LongShotLilShot]

@cereghino1 Black Canary n_n. look her up, she's got quite the story to tell :)

[cereghino1]

@LongShotLilShot thanks are u a dc expert



[caranauba]

0:06 not a single fuck was given that day

[farside314]

Just extraordinarily appropriate for all times, people, and beliefs for something better all together.

[TheRoyleProduction]

Now america and the world forgot this speech what JFK say god thank you for the heros that save us form evil that was there .

[TheRoyleProduction]

there was group of heros back then most of them forgot or dont care what they done for the world but JFK didnt forget or dont care JFK REMEBER WHAT THEY DID TO SAVE AMERICA FORM HITLER AND OTHER EVIL THAT COMES PAST AND IN THE FUTURE (RIP) JFK .

[TheZacula]

1:03 Yay Teen Titans!

[LibraGamesUnlimited]

Moving speech and great images to be sure. Too bad poloticans these days can't be like that.

[KuroiGaruga]

It's fucking Kennedy with the Justice League being previewed, What kind of jerk dislikes?

[Fatality65]

Dislike?? Really?? From such a great speech??

[stephentaaffe]

I got goosebumps!

[Anaheylaatyahoo]

Three people are Communists.

[movisony4]

JFK tried to do the right thing

[TheAmericanDragn]

At first, I really enjoyed this movie. Then I watched it again, and disliked it. However, I still love this scene. Best part of the movie.

AmDrag

[farside314]

JFK had the best real speeches talking to each individual in crowds.

[lastdragon55]

Perfect part showing the DC villains when JFK said "weapons of destruction."

[bookowner]

"And we cannot fail that trust, and we cannot fail to try." BEST QUOTE EVER!!

[coreyg45]

@WhiteFireStorm quicksilverscreen.im and you can watch just about any movie u want free online, it has all the justice league and superhero movies.

[okey26]

Such a great speech and such a great movie!

[niefali]

*goosebumps*

[BlueMaxx86]

"...and the inside of men's minds." Cue Joker's face. ;) Love it.

[farside314]

The way hope should be described.

[MusaMansu]

1:35 Where's Superman and Batman? Is this a reference to how little they were used in the first JLA comic books in the early Sixties?XD Awesome speech btw.

[geg1983]

EPIC

[TheZacula]

Who else loved this movie a lot? I know I did... while Batman kinda came off as relatively meh (I can't believe I dissed Batman!) I like how they went with a very... unusual route for Superman and Wonder Woman. Frankly, they did not resemble their normal modern counterparts all that much. Superman KNEW he was powerful, and that was why he was the leader, yet obeyed his own morality to a fault. Kinda golden/silver agish. Wonder Woman was frankly more militant than normal, which suited her.

[threadgill84]

excellent superhero movie!!!!

[pAULSauce]

Muy bueno!

[JustThink00]

`wow this speach would be a lot better if he didn't say Fronteeyuh

[djgodzilla94]

1:20 onward is the best part of the movie

[lee2469]

It was a great speech, too bad Kennedy's the one who got us into Vietnam.

[mickeykozzi]

wow fantastic!

[koobecafmit]

that was the best thing ever made. and not just on tv.

[vivatdk65]

this is fucking epic, it makes me cry

[Arnoldfriend]

@vivatdk65 Ditto! I used to think it was because I just watched the movie, but it's just the awesome speech and the visuals in this clip.

[DonTheTurtleDude]

0:48 thats why comicbooks were made. for heros.

[Ddyer234]

Yea the 1 black character is a tombstone..Fuck DC.

[crossbones116]

I get chills every time.

[mrdropkicker1]

I am tearing up. JFK was a great man, and this movie demonstrates the hope in good people and a better future which good men die for. It might be fiction but the moral about brotherhood transitions into real life.

[EchoBoomer1987]

How come school history classes don't teach us when JFK met the Justice league and Dr. Manhattan?!?!?

[erzan]

@EchoBoomer1987 lol good one :P

[VogtTD]

@EchoBoomer1987 They don't want you to know the truth.

[blade2752]

@EchoBoomer1987 the goverment jealous they didnt get to met any heroes so they cover it up

[arcadeninjasan]

Kingdom Come is a good idea for a movie but I think that Warner Bros likes to keep these movies at 80 mins so they can air it on Cartoon Network. And 80 min is absolutely not enough time to do Kingdom Come. Maybe they could do it as a 2 parter. It worked for the Family Guy movie right?

[bradprime4]

place can someone get me the words for this?

[Angeni666]

I've got goosebumps

[Fullmetalninja29494]

Awesome Movie! But It Focused To Much On Green Lantern

[MrAds213]

great movie but i dint like how they drew them in a way wonder woman looks fat and batman's ears thing look a bit more bigger than usual

[StJohn404]

Superman was entirely useless in this movie

[eradicaar]

@StJohn404 in truth alot of characters were. Batman and Wonder Woman barely do anything

[Dunes]

I liked the cameo of the Doom Patrol and Metal Man,I sure hope they come out with either a DP animated feature or a whole animated series of them someday.

[angbandsbane]

@Dunes There is a rumor the Doom Patrol will be in an upcoming episode of Batman: The Brave and the Bold.

Not a whole movie, no, but hey, it's something, isn't it?

[Dunes]

@angbandsbane I think you're the 2nd person to inform me of that,but thanks for the tip,i'll keep an eye out. I like DC characters like the DP,because they are so unique in their own way,they just don't get as much attention as they should like the same old ones.

I also hope their appearance will be tons better than the recent version we saw in the Teen titans cartoon,imo..yeeuch!

.

[jazbrannon]

it would be sooooo sweet if they brought captain marvel back out of his hiding place. he is the original, better than superman in my opinion. please dc, make an amazing captain marvel/shazam anime

[biscuitninja]

I would LOVE to see them do a "Kingdom Come" anime... but wow! that would be crazy expensive.

[heatblast1999]

you can watch this for free on netflix its awsome

[mytruepower2]

I found that in general, the movie was a little too negative and pessimistic for my golden-age-loving tastes, but this is easily the best part of the film. If the whole film had tried to carry off this mood of hope and inspiration, instead of focusing on corruption so much, it would have been a much better movie, in my opinion, but I realize that there were trying to base it on a comic book that had the same problem, so they only had so much freedom in that respect.

[arachknight1979]

That is true. But I think what Darwyn Cooke was trying to do was use real world events and real social-political feelings of the 1050's "in universe" to show the decline of the super hero genre, and it's ultimate revival by the 1960s. Things like the red scare and Mcarthyism were prevalent. I'm surprised that he didn't make an allegory to Fredrick Wortham. But ultimately the heroes are able to bounce back and by 1960 a new area of hope was dawning.

[mytruepower2]

Perhaps. I still prefer the kind of storytelling done by Mark Waid in Kingdom Come, where the horrible catastrophes eventually do lead to a lot of their problems being solved by the end of the book. I honestly didn't think the conflict in New Frontier really resolved anything. (Aside from, you know, saving people's lives.)

[ThunderLizardsRule]

@mytruepower2 But it did inspire people to solve their problems.

[mytruepower2]

@ThunderLizardsRule

See, that's the thing. It really didn't. If you've followed American history since the days of JFK, there's been a marked and continual decrease in responsibility, civility, wisdom, clear morals, and resulting from those, of confidence across the board. Not just in politicians; throughout America; especially since the 1970s. New Frontier wants to convince us that this continuity is in "our world," but if it is, things are about to get much, much worse for them.

[ThunderLizardsRule]

@mytruepower2 Well, things had been worse before they got better.

[mytruepower2]

@ThunderLizardsRule

No. "Things" didn't get better. They got worse. To end it with "and the world continued in basically the way you remember it" is the darkest pitch-black ending you can possibly use; especially now that the 1950s are over.

[JustThink00]

@mytruepower2

vastly it is due to the american departure from strong belief in christianity. yet though shedding that one moral code may leave us adrift for a while, it gives us the opportunity to find something better. Freedom from the evil dictator that is the christian god will ultimately be good. Trying out freedom for the first time, we scarely know how to walk by ourselves, but we will learn.

[mytruepower2]

@JustThink00

I'm sorry, but while I agree that the wholesale abandoning of Christianity is the reason for all this evil, I fear I can't agree with you about man's ability to do better on his own. Human beings are still basically selfish, savage creatures, and without some objective standard to be held to, they reveal their true colors.

[JustThink00]

@mytruepower

Well perhaps i have a much higher opinion of humanity than you. I think we are basically good but this evil world confuses and robs us of purpose, sometimes by a very early age, and leaves us vulnerable to evil. Yet the basic drive for good will always be there in some and those few will slowly reshape society and society will reshape the rest.

Will probably take millenia though....

[mytruepower2]

@JustThink00

Yeah. I never fell in with this belief, because I don't personally have much of a drive for good, myself. That's why I focus on superhero fiction and other things; to keep me thinking about heroic deeds, in the hopes of convincing myself to do right. It usually works, when there's real heroism involved, but for me anyway, goodness comes from conscious decisions to act against my own baser nature.

[JustThink00]

@mytruepower2

well, why are you trying to convince yourself to do right if you don't have a drive for good? stop thinking of a few animal urges as you and start thinking of those concious choices as you.

[mytruepower2]

@JustThink00

One reason and one reason only. Intellectually, I know there are bad, bad consequences to any wicked deed I do; consequences that would effect me personally. That's what I've come to conclude; my emotions are wicked and cruel in the extreme, but when I grasp for higher reason, I have a chance to do right regardless.

The problem is that you can't encourage reason in a whole generation of people. Somehow, you have to give them a bigger incentive.

[TheZacula]

@mytruepower2 Lad, I hate to say it, but I only halfway see what you're getting at. Superhero fiction helps, aye, but think on this. I have animal urges, but my personal morality is kept ahead due to some minor trauma centered around one big urge: protect those you love. The important thing to remember is that your urges are only part of who you are. Your conscious decisions concerning those urges make your morality. And I always thought of superheroes as useful mediums for these thoughts.

[mytruepower2]

@TheZacula

Yup. That's the point. We all need a reason to overcome and go beyond our feelings, and come to an understanding of personal morality, which the last couple of generations, by and large, lost track of. For this, we need incentive to BE better; instead of just GETTING better things for US, and superheroes are only one means of motivating ourselves to make this choice.

Historically, though, this one took place just before the really big problems with personal morality started.

[mytruepower2]

@TheZacula

And let me be clear on what I mean here... When I say "personal morality," I mean "morality which effects only you, as distinct from social morality, where immoral actions hurt somebody else." I don't mean that you get to make up your own morality. You don't.

[InfernoXRonin]

Thats what I got from it as well really liked this movie and I'm 16 witch proves it wasnt just for old heads.

[alttarnovy]

You can't help but feel inspired listening to this man, seeing his grave was overwhelming. Continue to inspire us.

[AirshipOverWater]

This is one of my favorite movies of all time. Not just animated movies, but all kinds of film - period. It's just that good.

BTW, one thing that really made me happy was how each character really got a chance to shine. No one was overlooked. Everyone had that one moment where they did something on screen that was memorable. From Green Arrow saving Batman in his jet to Aquaman finding Superman's body at the bottom of the ocean - it was all handled really well.

[grimbragreen]

Well, Remember??

Captain Marvel is not join DC comic until 1970's.

Because Fawcett Comics lost company since 1953 . Why? DC comic made believe Capt. Marvel was copying Superman power. :-(

[Tflash13]

I wish Marvel Would do something like this!

[Tony211169]

Me too!

[grimbragreen]

Which one Captain Marvel? or Marvel comic?

[thanks51]

I don't think they can. There is a nobility and purity about the JLA that's unrivaled.

[mytruepower2]

See, that's just the thing. Marvel could have been noble and uplifting, but they decided, again and again, to abuse their characters instead, because angst sells comics. You'll see this in the constant bad luck of Peter Parker, or the mindless bigotry that took center stage in X-men since the Clairmont days. If Marvel wanted to be something inspiring and fantastic, they could probably do it. It's just that they don't seem to want that.

[leafia6]

@mytruepower2 Well DC is starting to get pretty angsty at points. Look up Cry for Justice for an example.

[mytruepower2]

@leafia6

True, but I honestly think it was an issue of Marvel Comics having a negative impact on their competition. Virtually the whole industry followed them into the angst-mobile.

[leafia6]

@mytruepower2 At least Marvel is becoming slightly more optimistic. Plus there's always Marvel Adventures.

[mytruepower2]

@leafia6

True. Much of their stuff has been less angsty and upsetting recently, just not enough of it. It's still an unfortunate trend in comics to be depressing and a downer.

[soundmonkey44]

Great Speech & Great movie, JFK was truly one of the best men of the 20th century.

[knoxvilleguy2]

20 - 30 years ago, they wouldn't have included such a historical " tie - in " scene or scenes, simply because they thought that young minds wouldn't comprehend such a thing. Now - It's a different story !! They should've added " footage " of other scenes - Vietnam, The Apollo missions, MLK & similar.

I liked it !!

[Ko252]

@soundmonkey44 wow. what about Ghandhi? Martin Luther King? Dalai Lama? etc. JFK is a good speacher, but not a good president.

[MusaMansu]

@Ko252 No. He was a really good president.

[Ko252]

@MusaMansu He almost contributed to an atomic war. How is that a good president? Well, compared to GW. Bush he was-

[MusaMansu]

@Ko252 Are you referring to the Cuban Missile Crisis? He handeled that very well and avoided Nuclear War. He also helped faught for civil rights.

[Ko252]

@MusaMansu I guess you would said the same thing about Bush. He avoided a nuclear war from Iraq as well, and have fought for civil right! :D

[MusaMansu]

@Ko252 Iraq didn't have any Nukes. The only Nuclear powers in the middle east are Pakistan and Israel. What has Bush done fo Civil Rights exactly?

He made a BS claim so that he could invade Iraq and American soldiers have been in the Middle East since then.

[Ko252]

@MusaMansu do I have to invent the sarcasm-sign for you?

[MusaMansu]

@Ko252 Were you being sarcastic?

[Ko252]

@MusaMansu Holding up the sarcasm-sign! YAH!

[MusaMansu]

@Ko252 It wasn't so obvious.

[Ko252]

@MusaMansu Well, I should be offended, because if you thought I meant it, then you visualized me as a redneck and retard, with a dodoface and mush as brain. Nice.

[MusaMansu]

@Ko252 Who knows. There are people like that on Youtube you know.

[MusaMansu]

@Ko252 How would I have known? There are people like that on Youtube you know. And this is my first interaction with you. Don't take things so seriously.:)

[Ko252]

@MusaMansu Relax. I am not. Just kidding with you.

[madsdahlc]

man this i good , rip john f kennedy , you are missed

[BlackHawk38]

Love all the references to all the heroes that weren't as popular like the Metal Men. Too bad this film was geared more toward an older audience, seeing some material to get the older generation heroes up again would be nice.

[TheWizardofodd12]

1:03 teen titans 1:17 the joker

[ClassicToonFan64]

You sure seem to know your comic books. Thanks for the info in the video description.

This looks like an interesting movie. Hopefully they'll broadcast it over here soon.

Old School/Retro style is always good. Thanks for the video.

[holydiver420]

I liked how hal Jordan Green Lantern got the spot light in this movie for once, instead of superman hogging the spotlight like he has been for the last freakin century.

[knoxvilleguy2]

GL & The Flash got a lot more attention than Superman or Batman. The Martian Manhunter, as well.

A really Silver Age retro storyline. They need stuff like this rather than CN's new line - up of " reality " crap.

[Krazyisthebest]

the justice league new frontier looks like an old animated verion - the characters anyways...

[Razorsinmysalad]

As it was intended

[newguy33X]

Gives me goosebumps, it's so good.

[DEDLYDIX]

young vick :49

[fjuanantonio]

Beautiful!!! perfect for our current times...

[newsradiohead]

Er um ah, vote Kennedy!

[weirdo1985]

The comic was brilliant and that film is a very good adaption

[KrzysiuNWO]

OLD WAS BETTER!!

[xviolentphilx]

it's like a happier version of watchmen. :-).

[LoveNutz2]

true that.

[ThunderLizardsRule]

Yeah, that doomsday clock reminds me of it!

[Bluelantern]

Pure Epic with solid Win.

[24aaa]

the ending was indeed inspiring

[UdoShan]

Agreed!

[SevGreen]

the ending was inspiring

[Galactatech]

when I saw the box, I thought more superheroes would be in it, but it was still a great movie.

[xolta11]

Man the ending made me fell good

[CrossMarian23]

I'm glad they had a Joker cameo on this one. : D

[TheNewEmphinix]

00:40 GL with Adam and Alanna Strange

00:43 The Atomic Clock

00:48 John Henry Irons a.k.a Steel

00:53 Rick Flagg Jr. Leader of the New Suicide Squad

01:01 The original Teen Titans

01:09 The Legion of Doom

01:20 A large group of DC Superheroes

01:26 JLA vs. Starro the Conqueror

01:31 The original Justice League

Great movie.

[grimess66]

black canary she screams seismic waves :D

[Galactatech]

could someone upload this movie in its entirty.

[Pikazilla]

what is the name of the alien starfish?

[plas23]

starro

[ericintohistory]

starro

[Filby]

Starro, the (bum bum BUM) STAR CONQUEROR!

[prunes36]

who is the girl holding a black bird and whre are the teen titans!!?!?? can someone pl gimme the timings and tell me hu the girl is? thanx

[ljaye]

Black Canary

[Filby]

That's Black Canary. She was a member of the Justice Society in the '40s and got back into the hero business in the '60s.

Except for Supergirl, all the characters behind Black Canary are members of the Teen Titans from the '60s - Kid Flash, Speedy, and Aqualad. Robin and Beast Boy aren't shown there, while Raven, Starfire, and Cyborg didn't appear until the 1980.

Hope that helps :D

[Filby]

Oops, I'm sorry, Robin was shown. And so is Wonder Girl, who was also a Titan member from the '60s.

[demoniccarnival]

On Wikipedia it says that Harley Quinn has a cameo somewhere in this speech, and I've watched it 3 times and still can't find her!

[cheshirekatt113]

You can hardly see her, but she's behind the Joker in the villains montage.

[Pikazilla]

i see her

[eeryjaguar]

Gives me goose bumps every time, Kennedy's speech mixed with the classic heroes of the Silver Age just reminds me of a time in American history were people were excited about the future of this nation. The world seemed to feel the same way when Obama was elected. Hope he can deliver...

[sailorkeyblader]

Aquaman was barely in the movie. He was there for two seconds

[yamiblade]

Maybe because he sucks?

[ThunderLizardsRule]

Yeah right, he DID save Superman's live! He might have been dead if it weren't for him.

[codafett]

@ThunderLizardsRule Not really, you can't can't Super man without the use of Krytonite

[someUtubeguy]

What makes the concept of the superhero so appealing that they have lasted for over three generations? I beleive it is the thought that a man or woman, given power beyond mortal men, would choose to do good even thought it is hard. Even though no one would be able to stop them and they could do anything they wanted, the "superheroes" chose to use their gifts to better the lifes of others before themselves. They represent the what all mankind should strive to be. We can all learn from them.

[narutofightindreamer]

Oh Gosh!! I just finished watching "New Frontier" on Cartoon Network. JFK's speech really brought me to tears. It was broadcast too late at night. Damn Time-Warner for being so chicken of Parent's Television Council. Something of such power and ideals as this! It needs to be on for the kids during the afternoon hours to watch. This is the sort of thing we need kids to see. Maybe it'll make them actually think, question, and feel empowered. As Kennedy said, "My call is for the young at heart"!!

[15thCrypt]

well I dont really think Iime-Warner controls cn's broadcast schedule

[Altanese]

I think it's more that the late evening is prime time than anything else. It's when you put the best shows.

Besides, this isn't really ment to be directed to children. The 'young at heart' doesn't mean toddlers and tweens.

[jp3711nc1]

I liked the way they used the original green lantern the one in the comics and the teen titans awesome.

[crossbones116]

Kennedy's speech is awesome.

[Filby]

"All mankind waits upon our decision. A whole world waits to see what we shall do. And we cannot fail that trust, and we cannot fail to try."

That gets me in tears, because it is SO TRUE right now, today.

[TerryB01]

Well done. That really would help some younger comic fans on who's who. I knew that was Black Canary with the titans.

[RedDragon7777]

"big action shot" Plastic Man almost wins the race by a nose!

[ElJorro]

This is very inspiring. It still has meaning today even though it is over 40 years old.

[fridayfoot2289]

this rly was the best scene of the entire movie. I loved this movie as a whole though, one of the truest roots to a comic book ever

[kendellp17]

yo was that steel aka Jon Henrty as a kid by the tombstone? and also that kid flash is Wally west right?

[ibtitrg]

right on.

[mete91]

At the end when they are showing the original JLA members, why isnt Superman and batman there? I thought they were part of the original team also. Can someone please explain this! lol Thank you

[theanaloge]

cause batman and superman weren't original members of the comic book JLA

[thanks51]

When you watch the film with the commentary on, the filmakers admit to taking artistic liberty. They say, "This is OUR Justice league."

[brianak100]

I always get chills watching this, from the narration to the glimpses of the future of the DC universe.

[thanks51]

I get chills too. I thought I was just being gay....

[IHS7]

SURPRISE!!!!

[LordManda2]

thanks51: what are ya stupid? getting chills means that your either cold or your watching something epic and JFK's speech WAS epic (especially with Superheroes in the background XD)

[camkcam]

I watched this movie and it seems more like a DC in general movie.Never once do they state anything about a team or league

[variablelight]

That's pretty much the point. The only superhero team in existence prior to the beginning of the movie disbanded before being dragged in front of HUAC. The last shots in this excerpt show the birth of the Justice League of America.
