Titansgo.net posted this. After days of trekking through desert wastelands (yes, really), we're back! Convention reports and more will come shortly, but for now, one of several major announcements made at Comic-Con: First revealed at last week's "DC: One Year Greater" panel at San Diego Comic-Con, Warner Home Video put out a press release detailing its plan to produce original animated movies for an older audience (PG-13), based on several milestone DC Comics stories. Each year, they'll produce 2 to 3 movies, with the first three being based on "DC: The New Frontier", "Death of Superman", and "The Judas Contract" (which Teen Titans Season 2's story arc was based on). Read the full press release at Newsarama here. "WHV will be the exclusive worldwide home entertainment distributor for all DC Universe movies which will include a slate of 2-3 action-packed films per year. To kick off this impressive venture, WHV, WBA and DC Comics are proud to announce the first three films to be released in late 2007/early 2008: • Justice League: New Frontier - written by Stan Berkowitz (Justice League), with Darwyn Cooke serving as story and visual consultant • Superman: Doomsday - produced by Bruce Timm and written by Duane Capizzi, from a story by Timm & Capizzi • Teen Titans: The Judas Contract - written by Marv Wolfman and Tom DeSanto, produced by DeSanto" Bruce Timm will act as supervising producer for each of these projects, which are not meant to be included in DCAU continuity (JLU, Teen Titans, etc.). The animated "The Judas Contract" will not feature character designs from the Teen Titans show, opting instead for designs closer to George Perez' Teen Titans work. George himself will also help with the animated adaption of "The Judas Contract". During Comic-Con, Newsarama interviewed DC President Paul Levitz and "The New Teen Titans" co-creator Marv Wolfman about this upcoming "DC Universe" line of animated movies. Click below for the full respective interviews: http://www.newsarama.com/SDCC06/DC/Levitz_Animated.html http://forum.newsarama.com/showthread.php?t=78144 While I am happy that Timm is involved and that they're doing the Judas Contract in a more mature light (I am mixed with the animated series' take but not as disappointed as most) but I have one issue. If they wanted to do a mature animated version of the New Teen Titans as they are attempting here, then why was our kid-friendly animated series made in the first place? Because otherwise, what's the point? And besides, after the animated series' take on Terror of Trigon, I think they can handle the "mature" material as well as the best of them. You're a strange group to figure out, DC/Warner Bros. |

Puzzling indeed. I hope they're not dragging these stories out just to satiate the onslaught of disappointed fans. Then again, it's probably all for the money. On another note, I wouldn't really mind seeing the "Death of Superman". My father gave me that comic before he passed away. I always think of him when I hear "Death of Superman". Oh...sorry! Off topic, my bad! But, yeah DC, they can definatly handle a more mature feel since the season 4 arc. |

Actually, I always wanted to see Doomsday from the days of the S:TAS but yeah, in later years, I saw why they couldn't but still...this project sounds interesting. And enough off topic there. Granted, the Terra story is the definitive Titan story but I felt like they could cover things they couldn't in our animated series--Brother Blood's second return, Raymond Dark, the revival of the H.I.V.E. with Addie Kane in charge (Slade's ex-wife for the non comic fans), Grant Wilson, and yeah, just pandering. At least it's a guilty pleasure for me as we get to see the H.I.V.E. again (who just got shafted in the animated series). I'd watch just for that, really. If anyone cares, I might make a forum or at least a thread for this. I'll wait 'til details are finalized first. |
