Teen Titans, Batman and Harley Quinn Animated Films Coming

Warner Bros. Animation confirmed its next three DC Universe Original Movies at the San Diego Comic-Con during the Batman: The Killing Joke premiere panel.

Teen Titans: The Judas Contract, the popular “New Teen Titans” storyline by Marv Wolfman and George Perez, will be adapted into a feature length animated film in 2017. The title was announced alongside two other DC Universe Original Movies slotted for next year.

First out of the gate will be the previously announced Justice League Dark, an adaptation of the popular comic book series that will bring John Constantine to the world of animation for the first time in a supernatural story that promises plenty of mystery and thrills, along with an amazing voice cast. While Constantine’s world of demons and magic are an important part of the DC Universe, it’s been largely unexplored in DC’s connected universe of animated movies until now.

Teen Titans: The Judas Contract will follow in the spring and will serve as something of a follow-up to last year’s Justice League vs. Teen Titans. “The Judas Contract” debuted in 1984 in the pages of “New Teen Titans,” when the Titans’ comic book popularity was at its height. Written by Wolfman and drawn by Perez, it introduced the perhaps not-to-be-trusted Terra to the Teen Titans and was the storyline in which Dick Grayson first adopted the identity of Nightwing.

Finally, the 2017 lineup of DC Universe Original Movies concludes with Batman and Harley Quinn, a brand new, wholly original story from DC animation legend Bruce Timm. The storyline for this one is tightly under wraps, but considering Timm’s beloved style and complete understanding of both these classic characters, fans can expect this movie to be the talk of next summer.
