Justice League: New Frontier - excerpt

I wholly recommend Justice League: The New Frontier. It's a powerful and beautifully done retelling of the DCU's history, starting at the end of the Korean War and taking place through the McCarthy-era and all the way until the start of JFK's presidency.

Shown here is the bit at the ending, which is done to a recording of SFK's "New Frontier" speech.

So past the point where JFK gives The Flash (Barry Allen) a medal, it starts to get a little confusing, especially for younger people, so I'll point out what's shown:

00:37 - 00:42 :The Metal Men and the Doom Patrol (flying in when the screen rolls up), Green Lantern (Hal Jordan), Adam and Alanna Strange

00:43 - 00:46 : the atomic clock

00:47 - 00:51 : a young John Henry Irons, who later on becomes a superhero known as "Steel" after the Death of Superman storyline

00:52 - 00:58 : Rick Flagg Jr., who later on ends up leading the Suicide
Squad

00:59 - 01:06 : The original Teen Titans (Robin, Wonder Girl, Kid Flash, Aqualad and Speedy), Supergirl and Black Canary

01:07 - 01:18 : villains from the era. The ones I can name are (starting from L-R) The Riddler, R'as Al'Ghul (background), Brainiac, Darkseid, Doctor Sivana (b/g, lower), Two-Face (beside Doctor Sivana), Black Manta, Mxyzptlk (b/g, behind Gorilla Grodd), Gorilla Grodd, The Penguin, Cheetah (b/g, hard to see since she's behind Star Sapphire), Doctor Light (b/g, below Star Sapphire), Star Sapphire and The Joker

01:19 - 01:25 : big action shot of heroes. From R-L, top-bottom: Green Lantern (Hal Jordan), Plastic Man, Aquaman, Martian Manhunter, Wonder Woman, Supergirl, Captain Marvel, The Metal Men, The Challengers of the Unknown, Superman, Green Arrow and Speedy, Metamorpho, Vigilante (obscured, he's standing behind the Flash), The Flash (Barry Allen), Black Canary (on motorcycle), Hawkman and Hawkgirl (just before the screen zooms in on Batman),Robin, Batman

01:26 - 01:29 : The original JLA (Green Lantern (Hal Jordan), The Flash (Barry Allen), Wonder Woman, Martian Manhunter and Aquaman) versus Starro the Conqueror

01:30 - 01:39 : original JLA
