Justice League Has a Flash of Neil Patrick Harris
How I Met Your Mother
star Neil Patrick Harris drew acclaim in the gay community when he stepped
out of the closet, but he's no stranger to playing the hero.
He voiced the title character in MTV's 2003 Spider-Man cartoon, and
now he's doing the talking for the fleet-footed Flash in Justice
League: The New Frontier.
Based
on Darwyn Cooke's acclaimed DC Comics miniseries, the straight-to-DVD
feature film will explore the early days of the Flash, Green Lantern, and
other superheroes who came of age in the Cold War era.
The original graphic novel has a very retro Right Stuff feel, with
test pilots and experimental rocket ships and crew cuts for days.
Here's hoping it's as cool as the other recent Justice League
cartoons when it hits shelves in 2008.
