The New Frontier is a famous DC Comics tale from the 1950s, written and drawn by Darwyn Cooke. In a post-war universe, the Justice League must deal with a new danger: the enormous island known as the Center. In its quest to wipe out all species on Earth, the Center must be stopped by the Justice League.
In conversation with John Rocha on his podcast, film critic Jeff Sneider revealed that his source“did have a theory”about the secretJustice Leaguemovie, saying the project could be“based on the New Frontier.”
“My source did have a theory. It is not something they didn’t necessarily hear, but I believe they think that; remember when James Gunn met with the press, he mentioned a secret project; OK, no one knows what this project is. My source’s theory is that the secret project is the Justice League project based on the new frontier in which they face off against the giant island known as The Center, a primordial entity trying to end our life on earth.”

As written in the comics, the Centre, also known as Dinosaur Island, has witnessed the evolution of life on Earth over billions of years. When an asteroid wiped out the dinosaurs and most other prehistoric life, the Centre swiftly relocated the survivors to the Pacific Ocean, where it established a self-sustaining island to house the wildlife it had rescued.
Andy Muschietti as the Director
That’s not all, though. Jeff Sneider’s source also believes that Andy Muschietti, who is in charge ofThe Flashmovie, will be behind the camera forJustice League.
“The source thinks that James Gunn intends to introduce this concept in Lantern, and they think Andy Muschietti could end up directing it. All of this is a theory, but it was compelling nonetheless.”
