There have been a lot of Justice League cartoons on the Cartoon Network, and I have enjoyed them. But they have mostly been G rated and have involved little else than finding the bad guy or solving the crime.
Not so with Justice League: The New Frontier (2008). This is PG 13 and has some very ambiguous morality in it, including McCarthy era Red baiting, civil rights being ignored, and the consequences of war crimes.
Set in the 1950's, a supposedly more innocent time, this well animated story shows the formation of the Justice League set against the corruption of U.S. government and military officials. All the key players for the JLA are here, with key, and intriguing roles for Batman and Wonder Woman, as well as the Martian Manhunter and Green Lantern.
Really good Justice League adventure. They need to make more like this.
