Great, now we can watch Slade bang Terra on-screen.

[drgon78]

As long as there is no batman or superman in this movie, it would be nice to have a animated movie without them for once.

[Spike Spiegel]

I've been hearing rumors about this for years. Good to see it's happening.

The Terra/Slade stuff alone could give this an R rating.

The Voice Cast got released

Christina Ricci and Miguel Ferrer are the two latest additions to the upcoming Teen Titans: The Judas Contract direct-to-video feature from WB Animation (per THR). They'll join Sean Maher (Nightwing), Kari Wahlgren (Starfire), Jake T. Austin (Blue Beetle), Taissa Farmiga (Raven), Brandon Soo Hoo (Beast Boy) and Stuart Allan (Damian Wayne) who are all reprising roles from previous DCAU releases.

Didn't Miguel Ferrer just pass away?

[TheSkeletonMan939]

He died, like, today. O_O Crazy.

Anyway, interesting that this film is finally being made... it's been in development hell since the original Teen Titans ended, I think. I'm sure the original cast is bothered that they aren't participating though.

[Jephael]

Kinda funny you mention the original Titans cartoon, because they basically did a watered down version of Terra's story in season 2 of the series. Granted it went extremely differently than it did in the comics (as most kid oriented programs tend to do) but I dunno if the original cast would want to retread something they've already done before.

[drgon78]

The art style looks like Young Justice.

[ssjup81]

Wait, so does that mean we're getting sociopath Terra and not we must sympathize Terra like the show did? If it's the former, sign me up. I hated the way it was handled in the show, but gave it a pass given the target audience and demographic.

[TurtleTitan97]

This is probably gonna turn out mediocre like the rest of the DC animated films that are based in the New 52 inspired universe.

[CyberCubed]

Almost all the recent DC animated films lately have been mediocre to bad. The '66 Batman movie was ok though.

Seriously, these movies have been going on 10 years since 2006 when the first one Superman: Doomsday came out...and they're been so hit and miss for years. Over 10 years of mediocre movies.

I hear ya, A lot of the earlier ones are condensed one-shots that condense the crap out of classic comic book stories. Superman: Doomsday could've been made into a friggin mini-series with over an entire year's worth of story that DC layed out back in the 90s.

[CyberCubed]

I think they've made over 25 movies by now. Is there any complete list? I've seen most of them, but I might have missed a few.

These should be of some help.

[drgon78]

They are still better then those strait to video marvel animated ones but I agree they have been lacking for a while.

I really liked the two batman/superman ones, especially the second one with Super Girl. I also liked the Wonder Woman one, the two Green Lantern ones, and a few others.

I haven't seen the Teen Titans vs Justice League one yet, is that any good?

[Autbot_Benz]

I am still more excited for Justice League Dark as it has my favorite anti-heros in it Constantine and Etrigan the demon

[Autbot_Benz]

Trailer is out

[ABrown]

I'm looking forward to this since I really enjoyed the Justice League vs Teen Titans movie.

[Splinter the boss]

Nice and funny trailer, looking forward to seeing the movie.

Have you seen Dark Knight Returns part 1 and 2 or Under the Red Hood????
Its hard to call those mediocre, but I am sure you will find an excuse to :lol:

i just cancelled my pre-order for this after watching Justice League Dark.
JLD was awful!!! i barely made it through the first viewing, and had to turn it off attempting a second.

just have not enjoyed a single one of these since the adapted TDKR.
and even that felt a bit dry.

Crisis on 2 Earths remains my favorite of the bunch.

as much as i enjoy those movies you mentioned, i do have a few griped with them.

i didn't like the voicing of Joker in Under the Red Hood at all, and at one point he reused a bad joke about when he wore the Red Hood get up.
they tried to act as if the beginning scene with the Joker and Jason Todd and the crowbar was so brutal, but the original portrayal in the comics was done so much better.

TDKR had very slow pacing. the soundtrack was good but didn't keep me hooked into the story.
plus i was disappointed with Peter Weller's performance as Batman.
i enjoyed Michael Ironside voicing TDK much more.

[DestronMirage22]

That trailer stinks. The "comedy" fell flat, the animation looks weird, and there's even more Damien being shoved down our throats. Also, if I'm not mistaken, the original comic story didn't envolve Brother Blood, right? Is this a new trend for these DC animated movies, where they add in unnecessary plots and more characters into the story just to pad out the movie, making it the length of a regular film? I mean, they just did the same stupid thing with The Killing Joke. :trolleye:

here is a clip from the movie it looks to be a flashback of something

Sorry for double post, but what the hell was that video from????????? That wasn't from the movie thats for sure :lol: But anyways.in under the RED HOOD I actually liked the Joker voice actor and his lines were well written. But also remember the voice actor who voiced Joker in this Joe Demiaggio who voices Marcus Fenix and Bender was a last minute addition because the original voice actor pulled out.

Damn I also forgot about Batman Year One, another killer movie. I really think CyberCubed is either high or make certain statements for attention sometimes lol.

That Video is from Batman The Animated Series season 4 aka The New Batman Adventures Episode Legends of The Dark Knight. The episode shows classic Batman TDK Batman and they make fun of Schumacher in the episode too.

In his defense those movies came out 5 and 7 years ago and they release around 3 movies per year so his comment on "recent ones" sucking might be on to something. People used to love these until the New 52 direction.

[CyberCubed]

LOL, all the youtube comments are asking why it looks so different than the Teen Titans cartoon from 2003.

I'm not surprised. Dunno if you remember, but back when they released that crappy Green Lantern film starring Ryan Reynolds, fans of the Justice League cartoon were wondering why he wasn't a black guy since they were used to John Stewart instead of Hal Jordan.

[CyberCubed]

Seems a lot of people didn't even know Teen Titans have existed in the comics since the 80's. Weird. I remember way back in 2003 only Robin was recognizable to the general public when the early trailers aired on Cartoon Network, now the Teen Titans are incredibly popular due to their cartoon.

But it's weird that it overtook the comic.

Huh, sounds familiar, doesn't it?

[CyberCubed]

Yep, it's more weird this happens to this though, because characters like Robin were well established in mainstream media for decades.

If you go even further back to like the 60s, the original Titans were simply comprised of Robin and 4 other sidekicks of Batman's fellow JLA members: Wonder Girl (Donna Troy), Kid Flash (Wally West), Aqualad and Speedy. Beast Boy did once have a cameo during his original tenure with the Doom Patrol, but didn't officially join the Titans until the 80s when they introduced Starfire, Raven and Cyborg into the mythos.

Damn pretty much spot on with those dates :lol: Dark Knight Returns came out 3 1/2 years ago, so a year off on one, damn I wish I had memory like you.

But anyways what about "Justice League versus Teen Titans" and "Killing Joke"

Justice League vs Teen Titans was really good imo and Killing Joke despite its controversy was still good imo as well, should have been better, but still good. Those were the last two to come out right?? I think as a whole the movies they have been releasing are really good.

glad i cancelled my pre-order.

these Warner animated videos have been on the decline ever since they went with this 'new52' direction starting with 'justice league war' and so on.

[ZariusTwo]

Hearing the producers had no intention of course correcting even after Rebirth just turned me off these completely. N52 is a failure and they're best admitting to it and being in touch with what fans want

[myconius]

watching how bad these animated features have gotten, they seem totally out of touch.

it's such a shame too! there was a time when these direct to dvd movies were better than some of the live action superhero films coming out.
now they are just a joke.
'Son of Batman' 'Batman vs. Robin' 'Batman: Bad Blood' are ALL pitiful compared the Grant Morrison run it's based on.
and them clumsily forcing in New52 elements into them is even worse.

'Crisis on Two Earths' and 'Under the Red Hood' will always be my favorites of the bunch.

OH! and the 'Wonder Woman' one was also really good.

[Spike Spiegel]

New Frontier and Batman Year One (especially the Catwoman short) were good, too. I even liked some aspects of the Killing Joke adaptation. My favorites were probably TDKR and Wonder Woman.

I haven't watched anything in the New 52 spin off line since Justice League War, which felt like an inferior version of The Avengers.

"Mr Hallorann. How did you know we call Danny Doc?"

"Excuse me?"

"Doc. You just called Danny Doc twice now. We call him that sometimes like in the Bugs Bunny cartoons."

"You must have called him that."

"Maybe, but I don't remember calling him that since I came here."

"Well he looks like a Doc to me. Eh... What's up Doc?" :lol:

[Redeemer]

This is sad news, especially with how amazing the trailer was imo. I wish DC would just do faithful adaptations, Having slight tweaks here and there to their stories is necessary and it usually for the best. But when you break away from fundamental plots to the story or add an entire act to an existing story you are asking for trouble.

I am still hopeful this will still be good, but now I know it will not be on the same level as Batman Year One or TDKR.....

Yeah, you can't beat TDKR 1 and 2. They're quite literally the book made film. Putting the Judas Contract story within the new 52 and making it a sequel to the previous Teen Titans vs the Justice League movie should already tell you to expect tons of changes. Hell, Judas Contract in the comics took place before Damian was even around.

[sdp]

I also haven't been a big fan after the post-52 designs so I've yet to check out any of those DTVs however I disagree with the idea that something has to be a straight adaptation for it to work, we've had many including the loved Red Hood movie pretty much did its own thing and the Judas Contract is pretty difficult to do a straight adaptation of in a 90 minute movie so I don't fault them for that, the movie seems decent even if not amazing, I'll definitely end up watching it one day.

I meant a "Faithful" Adaptation if a straight adaptation would not suit or simply could not work for one reason or another. But you are right "Red Hood" is one of my favorite movies of the universe. I did not mention it in my previous comment, bc I did not know if that was its own movie or if it was a comic book adaptation.

I watched the movie for myself last night and was surprised how good the movie actually was. The Review really bashes the movie unjustly at times, while it does deserve some criticism.

The Review gave the movie a 6.2 which make me wonder if this guy is a Marvel Fanboy :lol:

This movie will not blow your socks off, but it was defiantly a decent movie.
The IGN Review gave the movie a 6.2 I Would personally score it along the line of 8.0. Its not better then "Under the Red Hood" But its better then "TT VS JL" and "Batman vs Robin"

Spoiler Notes
Kevin Smith was in this movie :lol: He was seriously in this movie and it was just for a split second. At the end of the Movie Beast Boy goes on Kevin's Podcast "Fatman on Batman" They essentially use the podcast scene to wrap up what happened with Terra and to reveal a new Titan Wonder Girl. The third act in the movie was the strongest act of the story and had a very epic climax with Terra essentially Killing herself and Slade while saving Beast Boys Life.
I do agree with the IGN Review that this movie would have been about 15-20 minutes longer at least to truly make this story feel complete.

[ABrown]

I FINALLY got around to watching this in its entirety. I really enjoyed it, as I did Justice League vs Teen Titans. I'll take a new one of these Teen Titans movies every year over a new season of Young Justice ANY day.
