NEW FRONTIER!!!!

Stan Berkowitz was interviewed at WF and he told that while he's doing an epsiode for The Batman and oen for Legion opf Super-Heroes, he revealed what Bruce Timm is working on as xecutive Producer.
Its New Froniter. Based on the book by the same name.

Q: What projects are you currently working on?

A: In 2004 and 2005, I was the story editor of an English animated series called "Friends and Heroes." It's due for release in 2007, and, though it's not a super-hero series, you'll see some familiar names among the writing credits: Alan Burnett, Dwayne McDuffie, Robert Goodman and others. You might also be interested in the way the series integrates 2D and 3D animation. Earlier this year, I worked on an episode of "The Batman" dealing with The Riddler's backstory, and an episode of "Legion Superheroes" about the conflict between profit and altruism. I had a great time working on both of them, and look forward to seeing the finished versions in September of this year. At the moment, I'm writing a direct-to-video animated adaptation of Darwyn Cooke's "New Frontier" epic. It will be feature length, rated PG-13 and Bruce [Timm] will be Executive Producer. So far, it's been nothing but fun... a chance for me to revisit my youth and the Starro era.
 
I don't know if I am happy or sad about this. :)/:(
 
..........I.......





......there is nothing I could post that would acurately convey the multiple geek gasms I am currently experiencing at this moment. :o
 
While I've never read New Frontier, i'm still happy to see he's got something going. :up:
 
That is so f'in awesome. Loved New Frontier. One of the few times I've actually enjoyed Hal Jordan.
 
This is awesome!!!

I loved New Frontier, loved it. The fact the Timm is now doing this has just sent me into some kind of overload.

This is awesome!!!
 
I SO want to see this.
 
This is the most awesome thing that I've heard in weeks!! The New Frontier is such a great story. If there were ever a story that is perfect for an animated adaptation, it's New Frontier.
 
I thought I'd post some Darwyn Cooke/New Frontier stuff for anyone not familiar.

I don't know I loved this book but I always wish Timm would have done Kingdom Come but seeeing that he is doing elsewhere tales gives me hope that we may one day see Kingdom Come the movie.
 
Being the loser that I am...........................some explain to me what New Frontier is
 
Ahhhh ok, but it's only a DTV. Which could end up limiting it.
 
They better have the JLU voice actors.
 
How are they gonna explain it's not in continuity? Call it an Elseworld?
 
The fact that it takes place in the 40s, 50s, and 60s should explain it all by itself.

Wow, this is going to be awesome.
I need these comics :up:
It's one of the best comic book stories published in the last five years.
 
I've never heard of New Frontier, but it sounds awesome. I like the retro look of the comic. PG-13 rating is good news too.
 
I absolutely loved New Frontier, perhaps the best thing that came out that year. Bring on Kingdom Come, DKR, and Superman: Secret Identity :up:
