SDCC 2008: Judas Contract DTV Dead
Newsarama reports: "DC gave fans a brief first glimpse at its upcoming “Wonder Woman” animated feature, kicking off a discussion with fans at the San Diego Comic-Con in which fans and panelists talked about which characters they’d next like to see come to DVD."
"[...] A long-discussed adaptation of “Teen Titans: The Judas Contract” is on hold, Noveck says, because fan support hasn’t been broad enough to vault it past other titles. "
"Levitz says the key to the success of these DVDs is whether they can sell a couple hundred thousand copies in the first couple of weeks — they have to do the kind of business to make it worth it for outlets like Wal-Mart and Target to carry them. Still, it’s a building process and if these discs continually sell well, it makes it easier to experiment with lesser-known characters and storylines."
I asked Bruce Timm about the status of TEEN TITANS: JUDAS CONTRACT, and he said it didn't ever make it past script development. Sadly, it sound like there are absolutely no plans for this one!

I don't understand how a project like this would get the greenlight first, then be shelved based off potential sales. When you're pitching the idea, wouldn't you have to present the idea along with an estimate on potential sales? It just seems like they went @ss backwards, and it's another example of DC getting the fans' hopes up, only to let us be mightily dissappointed again.

I was looking forward to the Judas Contract DVD!

you would think that this site of all places would be the place to start a petition and asking DC to reconsider... if there were tons of fans who said they would be interested why not??

I've been supporting the DTV project from start and got all the dvd's. Judas Contract was what got me excited about these movies when the first three were announced and it's pretty heartbreaking for DC to shelve it like this.
You'd think that the animated series' success would have been enough justification for it. Titans should always be one of DC's top priorities.
