Yet another animated Teen Titans!
Another nifty SDCC Announcement: DC and Warner are animating three classic DC storylines as straight-to-video movies: Superman/Doomsday (meh), The New Frontier (cool), and The New Teen Titans: The Judas Contract! Although Bruce Timm will be involved, all three are animated and adapted from the original graphic novels, with no connection to any of the current DC animated universes.
Assuming this is done well (and with Timm involved, I don't doubt it), that means we're going to have a faithful adaptation of The Judas Contract! Much as I enjoyed the Teen Titans animated series, there's a fundamental difference in tone between a Terra who gets corrupted by a bad guy, and a Terra who's born bad and manipulates everyone she knows. I'm also curious if they'll be as faithful as they claim -- a fourteen-year-old who smokes, sleeps with a fifty-year-old assassin, and (oh yeah) murders people isn't exactly going to please some folks.
But count me in for this one. TJC is one of my favorite DCU stories of the '80s.
