Justice League: The New Frontier
Plot
The film (set from 1953 to 1960) begins with an unknown entity (voiced by Keith David), explaining how he witnessed the evolution of life on Earth:
Like all things on this hurtling sphere, I emerged from the molten center of creation. But mine was a single path. Isolated, I developed attributes beyond the inferior beings. Then the ball was hit by a large rock heaven. Black chunks of death filled the sky and the world became a chaotic garden of destruction. Once the ball started to nourish new life. And there was one that stood above the rest. Its fragile shell belied its cruel nature. And in what seemed like a heartbeat, these things have proliferated in number and destructive means. Now they have harnessed the most destructive force. And I, Center, concluded that the ball must be cleaned them.
This explanation is shown being written and illustrated under the title "The last story" by a mysterious person who shoots himself.
The film cuts to the end of the Korean War, where U.S. Air Force Pilot States Hal Jordan (voiced for David Boreanaz) and her right arm, Kyle "Ace" Morgan (voiced by John Heard), are attacked by enemy pilots have not yet informed of the cease-fire deal. Hal is tipped in the conflict that followed, and forced to kill a North Korean soldier after ejecting safely. The trauma of the event Hal leads to a mental ward in a hospital two years.
Elsewhere, the Gotham Observatory, the last survivor of a green Martian race, J'onn J'onzz (voiced by Miguel Ferrer), is inadvertently teleported to Earth by a scientist, Dr. Saul Erdel. The shock causes the appearance J'onn Erdel to succumb to a heart attack, though not before that he apologizes for stranding the Martian. Unable to return to Mars, he disguises himself as Dr. Erdel.
The following year, Superman (voiced by Kyle MacLachlan) find Wonder Woman (voiced by Lucy Lawless) in Vietnam, where she celebrated with a group of women who saved from political rebels. Amazon allowed the exact brand their own righteousness fatal to his captors, who Superman is horrified to know. He reminds Diana that the government is suspicious at best heroes, which led to the dissolution Justice Society and the death of Hourman and the brand of vigilante Batman as a fugitive. Superman also tries to remind her that mitigate the fear of the general public is why they signed loyalty oaths to the U.S. government. Diana, however, decides that she must do what she feels is right. Part two of probabilities, and Diana then left America to return to Paradise Island. Superman then confesses to Lois Lane (played by Kyra Sedgwick) on Wonder Woman and Batman, neither of whom, he said, would sacrifice their principles to another.
In Gotham City, J'onn J'onzz has lived quietly under the guise of Dr. Erdel, while he can learn on humans and society on Earth through television. He shaped shift into different forms during its preview night, as Groucho Marx and Bugs Bunny, before choosing the form of a noir detective movie.
In Las Vegas, reporter Iris West (voiced by Vicki Lewis) is the assignment to interview the singer Buddy Blake, in the same casino where Hal Jordan and Ace Morgan are enjoying themselves. While Iris is on the phone with her boyfriend Barry Allen (voiced by Neil Patrick Harris), Captain Cold (Voiced by James Arnold Taylor) arrives to steal the casino. Hearing of events on the phone, Barry races to Las Vegas from Central City, and The Flash confronts Cold who says he has hidden around six cryogenic pumps Vegas set to leave in 90 seconds. Flash closes around the town and finds five of the bombs, but deducts the sixth is a bait, and captures Frio before he can flee by helicopter. Before being subdued, Cold is owned by unknown entity from the prologue, which asks for Flash because it is faster than "the other lesser beings" before leaving the Rogue.
Hal and Ace leave the casino and head to the desert. Hal is clear about your destination, that Ace has a surprise. Notices Hal Ace has been acting differently, and Jordan admits that things have not been the same since the war and his time in hospital. He also admits that his last hospitalization prevented him from getting a job in a company of superior aircraft. It then relies on Hal Ace that they arrive Ferris Aircraft, where an opening as a test pilot Hal is really waiting for, thanks to a recommendation from his friend.
Back in Gotham, J'onn joins Department Police of Gotham City under the name John Jones, and his integrity, analytical ability and cunning telepathy, rocketing into the ranks of detective in just two years. After investigating a child abduction that was later discovered to be part of a ritual sacrifice to a sect that worships something called The Centre, J'onn Slam Bradley and his partner (voiced by Jim Meskimen) meet Batman (voiced by Jeremy Sisto), the first time as he is also investigating the kidnapping. Both Batman officers go into battle against the cult, but the fire was started during the fight, becoming impotent by J'onn Slam extinguished. Then when Batman tries to free the boy ties, the child is terrified at the sight of him. J'onn arrives to calm the boy down and then he and his partner to release the child. The party which had Captain Cold speaks through the cult leader incapacitated, identifying himself as the "Center" and warning of a forthcoming trial.
Hal Jordan begins training exercises with Colonel Rick Flagg (voiced by Lex Lang) at Ferris Industries. His play, Flagg negligent attitude rubs the wrong way, but Carol Ferris (voiced by Brooke Shields) is to understand and recognize the natural ability to Hal. Carol also recognizes that Hal needs to know the true nature of their training, she just tells him: the government ordered Ferris aircraft to build a spacecraft capable of traveling to Mars. Special Agent King Faraday (voiced by Phil Morris) is assigned to oversee the project, which is in response to contact with Dr. Erdel with Mars and the arrival of J'onn.
Back in Gotham, The Dark Knight reveals his knowledge of true nature J'onn in his apartment as he is able to find a way to protect your mind telepathy J'onn, and suggests that they must form an alliance both are investigating the cult that is growing worldwide cult that worships the Centre. J'onn demonstration of kindness to the boy led Batman to believe it can be a reliable ally. However, J'onn warns that he should betray him, he is fully aware and willing to use the vulnerability of the Martian fire him.
In Central City, The Flash defeats Gorilla Grodd (or rather, a robotic duplicate), but is targeted by government agents, who try to capture him in an effort to learn the secret of his powers. Although he escapes, the experience takes Flash to retire from his career as a crime fighter.
J'onn J'onzz asks Harry Leiter, a former employee Ferris apprehended for murder under the influence of the Centre. During interrogation, Harry blurts out the word on the release to Mars. Leiter ramblings are confirmed when Faraday arrives to take him into custody. J'onn glimpsed briefly in the mind of the agent, and discovers the truth. After watching the Flash announce his retirement on live television, and seeing the response from the public disdain, an unmotivated J'onn tries to get away from the rocket to he can go home. Before leaving, he arrives at the headquarters of Batman, the Batcave, revealing that he is aware of the secrets of Batman for a long time (using their skills astute detective instead of her telepathy), and gives him the last of its investigation into the Centre. J'onn reveals to Batman that he is losing faith in humanity, as he sees that there is much hatred, ignorance, and conformity among the people around him who made him decide to leave the Earth. Batman is cool and reply brief, as he says J'onn some people do not have the luxury of leaving Earth.
While attempting to board the ship, J'onn is seen on camera by Faraday, who faces J'onn and struggle with it on Launchpad. J'onn is able to hit Faraday, but spares him from the rocket exhaust flying it to a platform before collapsing. The rocket is damaged and malfunctions soon after leaving the atmosphere. Hal wants a landing attempt, but his co-pilot, Col. Rick Flagg, reveals that the rocket is loaded with weapons of mass destruction, and, as such, he will not risk it. After a brief struggle, Hal is ejected from the cockpit. Although he is saved by Superman, the distraction allows Flagg to detonate the rocket.
J'onn J'onzz is held captive by Faraday. Superman bursts of Faraday to treat him differently J'onn (the Krypton and therefore also a foreigner), just because J'onn looks radically different. He also points captivity is entirely J'onn decision because it can escape at any time, using their powers.
Paradise Island, Wonder Woman trains with Mala, and tells him how America has changed since the war. His training partner says the island has also changed, and that many Amazon desire a change in leadership. Although Diana quickly fend off a challenge from his colleague in the Amazon, the two are soon beset upon by the Centre to come.
Hal Jordan is later found by Abin Sur (voiced by Corey Burton), the Green Lantern of sector 2814. The destruction Rocket badly injured as he enters the Earth's atmosphere, so he instructs his ring to find a worthy substitute. He leaves the ring with Hal, and tells him the center, which he describes as a monster "creature" who fears the human being and seeks its destruction.
In the Batcave, Superman reviews research J'onn with Batman and Robin find (voice of Shane Haboucha) first. Batman has changed the design of his suit so it will not scare an innocent, but is still capable of spreading terror in the heart someone to blame. While they discuss the Centre, they hear Lois report on the attack of a giant pterodactyl at Cape Canaveral. Superman arrives and quickly defeat the creature. Almost immediately after, Wonder Woman's invisible jet made a forced landing, its cockpit stained with blood. Before losing consciousness, Wonder Woman tells Superman that the Centre is coming.
Faraday eventually befriends J'onn who saved his life, and occasionally playing chess with him. J'onn reveals that he Faraday decided to remain at the base of the agent of good will because of the coming battle with the Centre and had telepathically looked in the mind of the agent during their battle on the platform. J'onn Faraday discovered that believes that one day the world will not live in fear and hatred. Finding that within Faraday, J'onn was renewed hope for humanity and decides to join the battle to save Earth. Before leaving Faraday adopts a new Martian J'onn / form superheroic human hybrids like the Martian Manhunter, believing who is honest with its heritage with a friendly face to the human perception.
The Center
Thereafter, the center starts the attack seriously, on the coast of Florida, finally revealed as a massive flying island, with an army of dinosaurs mutants to save it. The threat calls the heroes as Flash (Iris who speaks in coming out of retirement), Green Arrow, Adam Strange, the Challengers of the Unknown and the Blackhawks, who clash with soldiers on the base. The conflict is halted Superman, who advocates cooperation between the two sides. He is unexpectedly seconded by Faraday, accompanied by J'onn, who agrees that the government and the heroes must working together for freedom. With that, Superman head out to the recognition at the Centre, but is quick and surprisingly defeated.
Moved by his effort, the rest of the superheroes of Earth and join the military defeat of the Centre. Batman interrupts a meeting between Faraday, J'onn, Will Magnus (dubbed by Townsend Coleman) and the Challengers. Batman brought Ray Palmer, a scientist known for his work with the reduction of matter. When one of the challengers argued that technology is very reliable, nothing to destabilize shrinks, Batman replies that it is exactly the point, and a plan is formed for use of Ray Palmer reduction destabilize the island. The heroes will entertain the Centre with a frontal attack (as Hal and Ace fly a bombing mission in the creature), leaving Flash quickly cross the island with the radius.
While the air attack (including Batman and Green Arrow as pilots) is almost overcome before the intervention of the Blackhawks, Faraday ground forces are ambushed by a herd of dinosaurs rampaging mutants. J'onn is overwhelmed by the psychological impact of the Centre and is rescued by Faraday, which is captured soon after by a dinosaur. As he is about to be eaten by a tyrannosaur, Faraday grabs two hand grenades and pulling the pins. Swallows dinosaur Faraday and soon after his head explodes the grenade detonated, killing both and Faraday. The shock of the death of his friend J'onn help get rid maintain the Center, and he recovered and a Wonder Woman helps turn the tide the land battle.
Hal Jordan and Ace Morgan managed to shoot its way into the core of the creature, but are bewildered at first by its effects hallucinogens. The creature secretes a thick red liquid that preserves their weapons and almost suffocates them. It is then that the ring Hal active, transmitting instructions from Guardians of the Universe (voiced by Robin Atkin Downes) about their use. Ace manages to detonate his charge, and is rescued by Hal - now dressed in a costume identical by Abin Sur's - just before blowing up the plane.
The blast gave the ground crew to its opening as they prepare to send Flash to finish the creature. The sprinter is impressed with the seriousness of the situation and your role in it, but J'onn reassures him that everyone is behind him. Flash races across the ocean and jumps on the surface of the center, covering the entire surface of the foot before jumping into the ocean. The center begins to shrink, but realizing their imminent destruction, Heading to earth to destroy mankind with him. Hal realizes that he must do, and it involves the island into green energy, then tows it to the space where it explodes.
The whole world celebrates the defeat of the Centre. How many participants in the battle to attend a ceremony, Hal celebrates victory in its own way to pursue his dream: flying through space with the help of his new power ring. During the celebration, Superman is revealed to be injured but still alive, saved by a man named Arthur (voice Alan Ritchson) who claims to be from an underwater kingdom. He and his subjects treated wounds during Superman's battle with the Centre. Superman is meeting with Lois and the rest of Heroes, which are touted as the first page of the Daily Planet.
