Warner Bros. is putting together one monumental box set in honor of the 10th Anniversary of the DC Animated Universe! Find out what all is included!

While Wonder Woman may be putting the DC Entertainment Universe back on track, there is DC content that Warner Bros. and DC have never had a problem with, the animated DC Original Movies. In fact, their movies have been touted as being better than Marvel's, which is no small feat.

As a way of honoring the success of the DC Animated films turning 10, this year, Warner Bros. Home Entertainment has created a box set the likes we never could've fathomed.

On November 7, 2017, WB will release the DC Universe Original Movies: 10th Anniversary Collection on Blu-Ray. The collection includes all 30 Animated movies, 5 shorts, new special features, and exclusive collectible items. The Digital version will release much earlier on August 15, 2017.

Although Warner Bros. have found much success in recent decades when it comes to animated films based off DC Comics properties, very few of them have gone beyond the direct-to-video market. Maybe it’s because when Batman: Mask of the Phantasm debuted in theatres nearly 20 years ago, it unfortunately didn’t pull in much money despite being a critical darling and one of the best movies to ever feature the Dark Knight. Period.

In the time since, dozens of stellar flicks have materialized, and the mainstream popularity currently being enjoyed by superheroes has certainly helped the cause. In fact, just last year, both Batman: The Killing Joke and Batman: Return of the Caped Crusaders were released in theatres as limited engagements. Now, to the surprise of not very many, Batman and Harley Quinn is following suit.

Seeing as how this is WB Animation’s first 2017 offering to get this treatment, it quickly becomes apparent that they’re going with whichever ones they believe will be the biggest moneymakers. Sure, both Justice League Dark and Teen Titans: The Judas Contract included either the World’s Greatest Detective himself or related characters, but anything featuring him as the headliner – let alone sharing the bill with the white hot Harley Quinn – is going to take top priority.

As it turns out, Batman and Harley Quinn will arrive in theatres on Monday, August 14 for yet another “one night only” engagement, which happens to be the very day before its home video release. Tickets go on sale on June 30, so be sure to follow the source link to Fathom Events, and to keep watch as to which cinemas near you will be taking part.

Sneak Peek a casting call from the "Titans" live-action TV series, scheduled to start shooting September 2017 in Atlanta, based on DC Comics' "Teen Titans", including superheroes 'Nightwing', 'Raven', 'Starfire' and 'Beast Boy':

"...Male, late 20's-early 30's, Caucasian. Equal parts charm and impenetrability, He is a cop, with a nice smile, tired eyes and a cool, distant manner. However, when provoked, his eyes are so lethal 'they drain a man of every last bit of spleen'. John is haunted by the murder of his family.

"Unbeknownst to those around him, he is also a vigilante. In the shadows, he fights with the commitment and conviction of an artist, the brutal grace of a dancer. Mentally and physically, he is covered in a map of scars. And though he fights to escape his past, it is often a losing battle. Series Lead

"Sarah', Female, Mid teens, Open Ethnicity. Troubled, bullied, often scared but unwilling to show it, 'Sarah' is a loner more comfortable hiding in her hoodie than making friends. Haunted by a dark force inside her, Sarah experiences violent episodes that she cannot understand or control. She is also plagued by recurring nightmares that lead her across the country in search of help. Series Regular

"Casey Female, 20's, Open ethnicity. Casey is a tall, stunning woman, her beauty so magnificent it’s almost inhuman. Elegant, refined and mysterious, she is on the hunt to discover who is trying to kill her and why. And those after her are in for a surprise because she’s more deadly than anyone they’ve ever encountered. Series Regular

"'Jax', Mid-late teens, Open Ethnicity, Asian preferred. Funny and charming, this amateur thief’s humor hides his insecurities and past pain. Not the toughest kid on the streets, he's learned to survive in the world with his wit and quick-thinking. Series Regular"

"Titans", written by Akiva Goldsman ("Star Trek: Discovery"), follows a group of young, costumed vigilantes recruited from every corner of the 'DC Universe'.

"Titans" will be the first live-action series in 'digital space' for DC Entertainment. DC currently has seven broadcast series on the air, including "Supergirl", "Arrow", "The Flash", "Legends Of Tomorrow" and "iZombie" on The CW, plus "Gotham" and "Lucifer" on Fox.

With the awesome showings that were Justice League Dark and Teen Titans: The Judas Contract now behind us, our attention turns toward the next major DC animated film of 2017 in Batman and Harley Quinn. Pairing one of the genre’s most lucrative players in the former with one currently boasting white hot popularity in the latter was a wise move on the part of the studio and, judging by last week’s trailer reveal, it looks like they have another hit on their hands.

Usually, more details regarding something distributed by WB Animation swiftly follow a trailer’s release, so, thankfully, history has repeated itself and we now know that this particular offering will be released via Digital HD on August 15, with Ultra HD Blu-ray Combo Pack, Blu-ray Deluxe Giftset, Blu-ray Combo Pack and DVD releases following on August 29.

In addition to learning when we can get our mitts on a copy,...

Teen Titans: The Judas Contract is the latest installment in the lives of the superhero group that connects to much of the DC Universe and has hit screens in a variety of ways. The darker realm of the Titans continues with newcomer Terra (Christina Ricci) and a menacing threat unlike anything the Titans have faced before.

The film opens with a trip back in time to when members of the Teen Titans met Starfire (Kari Wahlgren), then quickly jumps us to the present with Starfire and Nightwing (Sean Maher) running the show, and in a relationship that makes the brooding crew uncomfortable.

The gang is still adjusting to Terra, and Nightwing is still adjusting to returning, but they don’t have time to hang around in the giant T building because there’s a new villain out there, Brother Blood (Gregg Henry), and though we might not know exactly what he’s plotting,...

Warner Bros. Television and DC Entertainment announced today that the return of their animated Young Justice series will be called Young Justice: Outsiders and that it will premiere in 2018. They've also announced a new live-action series that they are developing called Titans. The two series will air on a new DC digital service that will “deliver an immersive experience designed just for DC fans.”

In Young Justice: Outsiders, the teenage Super Heroes of the DC Universe come of age in an animated world of super-powers, Super-Villains and super secrets. In the highly anticipated new season, the team faces its greatest challenge yet as it takes on meta-human trafficking and the terrifying threat it creates for a society caught in the crossfire of a genetic arms race spanning the globe and the galaxy. Equally praised by critics and viewers for its impressive visuals and rich storytelling, Young Justice reached...

While we twiddle our thumbs and wait for the double punch of the Dceu's live-action Wonder Woman and Justice League movies, Warner Bros and DC Entertainment continue to skip along in their own little (arguably better) animated universe.

They've just announced that they're moving forward with their Batman And Harley Quinn film in earnest by tapping director Sam Lie to take charge of the project. He's previously worked on Teen Titans: The Judas Contract, 2016's unfortunate misstep The Killing Joke, and Justice League Vs Teen Titans under their watchful eye, so it looks like it'll be a fairly smooth process all in all.

What is it? A young man in the Filipino town of Baler suspects he may have been fathered by a certain American director who filmed a Vietnam war epic in town several years prior.

Why buy it? The identity of finding the truth about his father is a catalyst of sorts here, but it’s far from the focus of Mario Cornejo and co-writer Monster Jimenez’s beautiful, raw, and affecting film. Instead it’s the idea of escaping one’s past through self-deception and distraction that pervades the screen alongside gorgeous visuals and performances. You can’t look away no matter how much you may want to. There...

Fans of DC animation have much reason to rejoice as the latest entry into the ever expanding library is upon us with the release of Teen Titans: The Judas Contract. Loosely adapting the beloved comic book storyline written by Marv Wolfman and illustrated by George Perez, this film had a sordid past, to say the least. After first being slated for release back in 2008, it was cancelled only to be thankfully resurrected, but now it’ll have a bit more of a New 52 flavor to it.

If you had the good fortune of attending WonderCon last weekend, you may have very well been there for the movie’s premiere, but as for the rest of us, we luckily have videos such as the one DC All Access has provided. Quite obviously, they managed to catch up with key members of the cast on the red carpet.

Teen Titans: The Judas Contract is the second film featuring these heroes from Warner Animation and DC. It is a marked improvement over the disappointing Teen Titans Vs. Justice League. Based on a four part, 1984 comic series, Teen Titans: The Judas Contract introduces a new Titan, Tara Markov (Christina Ricci) aka Terra, a young woman with the ability to control earth and stone. Directed by Sam Liu and written by Ernie Altbacker, the film slickly integrates adult themes into its entertaining plotline. The Judas Contract is action packed and moves at a fast pace. The Teen Titans are certainly on better footing here.

The film opens with Terra's one year anniversary with the team. She's never fit in, despite everyone's efforts and fawning attention from Beast Boy (Brandon Soo Hoo). The Titans are hot on the trail of a religious despot, Brother Blood (Gregg Henry); and his legion of followers,...

With a few weeks left to go until the release of Teen Titans: The Judas Contract, DC All Access has really been spoiling us as of late with videos pertaining to the next addition to DC’s stellar line of animated films. Just days ago, they spoke with Kari Wahlgren in order to gain some insight into her character of Starfire and, now, it’s director Sam Liu’s turn to talk.

In a chat with Whitney Moore, the fan favorite filmmaker reaffirmed that this adaptation of the beloved comic book written by Marv Wolfman and illustrated by George Perez is faithful to the source material, as everyone has been doing when given the chance. But with any project such as this, certain details may have to be streamlined for mainstream audiences or, perhaps, due to the constraints that come with having to shoot for a specific running time (these...

I’m secure in saying that I’m probably not the only one who thinks the wait between DC animated movies feels like an eternity, even if they’re only mere months apart. With but a few weeks to go until the release of Teen Titans: The Judas Contract, the folks at DC All Access have thankfully tided us over with a new clip and other goodies.

Although said footage treads very far from spoiler territory, it’s pretty cool to see some fresh content nonetheless, especially when you factor in that it involves Starfire. Up until Justice League vs. Teen Titans, she was a character that was really only hinted at in other related films, so it’s nice to see a version of her that’s more mature than what you’d find on a series airing on Cartoon Network be explored.

On that note, co-host Whitney Moore...

If anything, 2017 is going to have quite the steady stream of DC animated films, with the next one up being Teen Titans: The Judas Contract. Loosely adapting the classic storyline of the same name written by Marv Wolfman and illustrated by George Perez, it’ll see some of the most beloved young heroes in all of comics face their biggest challenges yet, namely Brother Blood and Deathstroke.

While many of us have to wait for a home video release to enjoy the movie, those fortunate enough to attend WonderCon in Anaheim, California in a few weeks will have the opportunity to attend the world premiere. You see, on Friday, March 31 at 6:00pm, a screening will take place in the Arena of the Anaheim Convention Center, complete with panel afterwards. Should you miss out on that, an encore will be shown on Sunday, April 2 (also in the Arena), but with no panel to follow.

Most everyone has been critical of the Dceu movies that have been released so far, with complaints ranging from poor character development to uneven storylines. However, one thing that DC still, and will always do well with, is the comics themselves. Anytime they adapt one of the great comic stories into an animated film, like Teen Titans: The Judas Contract, they always seems to be entertaining and almost spot on to the books themselves.

This will most likely be the case on March 31, 2017, when The Judas Contract is released at WonderCon Anaheim in the Arena of the Anaheim Convention Center, and then on April 4th when it is released to video. A full picture of the team was just released which you can see in the header image, and check out the trailer here:

Those who aren’t familiar with anything but the cute Teen Titans series are in for quite a surprise as the heroes return to their darker roots in Teen Titans: The Judas Contract, which is one of the most incredible efforts from the comics. The feature-length film is inspired by a story arc from the 1984 DC comic, and has an incredible voice cast backing the supremely gritty arc.

The Blu-Ray Giftset, which includes an exclusive Blue Beetle figurine, will hit on April 18th, with Digital HD release on April 4th.

In The Judas Contract, the Titans – Beast Boy, Raven, Blue Beetle, Robin, and Nightwing – are led by Starfire, but their newest teammate, Terra, is throwing the groups dynamic out of whack, and the team comes up against Brother Blood, an ancient evil, and Deathstroke is waiting in the wings to cause problems as well.

With the release of Justice League Dark now being behind us, it’s time that we look forward to the next DC animated film to be released by Warner Home Video, Teen Titans: The Judas Contract. Originally slated to arrive in 2008, this loose adaptation of the popular comic written by Marv Wolfman and illustrated by George Perez has finally become a reality and is set to arrive via Digital HD on April 4, with Blu-ray and DVD releases following on April 18, which, to be quite honest, falls within the period we predicted.

Yes, we did do a rundown of the initially announced voice cast not long ago, but some exciting new additions have been revealed that Young Justice fans will want to take note of, so do pay attention.

Following Justice League Dark, DC will release an animated adaptation of Marv Wolfman and George Perez's Teen Titans: The Judas Contract, which is arguably the most popular Titans comic arc, and introduced Terra to the team.

If you enjoyed last year's Justice League Vs. Teen Titans, you're gonna want to check out this first trailer for DC Animation's Teen Titans: The Judas Contract. The film is based on the New Teen Titans story arc by Marv Wolfman and George Perez.

The story centers on the young psychopath Tara Markov, who is seduced and trained by Deathstroke to infiltrate the Teen Titans and tear them apart from within. Here's a brief story description:

Deathstroke the Terminator has a long held grudge against the Titans relating to the death of his son Grant Wilson the original Ravager. In order to fulfill this grudge he seduces a 15 year old with the extraordinary ability to command the very earth to her will.

This is definitely one of the more shocking Teen Titan storylines. If you've read it, then you know how it all ends, but I won't spoil it here for anyone that doesn't know.

DC Animation's "Teen Titans: The Judas Contract", based on the "New Teen Titans" comic book storyline by Marv Wolfman and George Perez, is a feature length adaptation showcasing the villain 'Deathstroke', following-up "Justice League vs. Teen Titans".

Meanwhile, as The CW continues to showcase DC Comics' superheroes in various series,...

With the voice cast having been revealed several weeks ago and the Blu-ray release of Justice League Dark now behind us (be sure to check out our review), it comes as no surprise that Warner Home Video wasted little time in releasing a trailer for the next DC animated film, Teen Titans: The Judas Contract.

Paying tribute to the classic comic book storyline penned by Marv Wolfman and illustrated by George Perez, this long awaited adaptation will be a bit more loose than expected, seeing as how it has to align with the New 52 inspired continuity established by the current crop of animated movies. Still, fans should be pleased to see familiar faces such as Nightwing, Raven, Beast Boy and Starfire, along with new additions like Robin/Damian Wayne and Blue Beetle.

DC's Teen Titans are ready to show you the greater good.

The first trailer for Teen Titans: The Judas Contract shows off the first footage from the animated adaptation, which was first announced back at last year's San Diego Comic-Con and sparked a lot of interest among the DC faithful.

The voicecast includes Christina Ricci (Terra) and the late Miguel Ferrer as the villain Deathstroke. Director Sam Liu's film adapts the classic 1980s storyline from Marv Wolfman and George Perez, which saw a shocking betrayal rock the group.

DC animated movie regulars also in the cast include Sean Maher, Kari Wahlgren, Jake T. Austin, Taissa Farmiga,...

One of DC Animation's most highly anticipated titles in 2017 is Teen Titans: The Judas Contract, and now the first trailer for the movie has found its way online. Based on the popular New Teen Titans storyline by Marv Wolfman and George Perez, the feature length adaptation looks pretty cool, and it's pretty clear that it follows the comic book as Deathstroke takes aim at each of the young heroes. Teen Titans: The Judas Contract will serve as something of a follow-up to last year’s Justice League vs. Teen Titans. The comic 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. One of the most popular comic book storylines of its year, it's continually ranked among the greatest Teen Titans stories ever told. What do you guys think of this first trailer for the movie?

When innocent civilians begin committing unthinkable crimes across Metropolis,...

The concept of the DC Comics’ mystical characters gathering to combat occult evil always sounds good but of course, execution is everything. When it was done sparingly, as in Swamp Thing #50, it was quite effective. As an ongoing series, it proved tough to manage since each player was plucked from a title that had a fairly unique look and feel.

That said, the newly released animated Justice League Dark film is incredibly entertaining and certainly a cut above the last half-dozen releases. From a story by Jld writer J.M. DeMatteis and Ernie Altbacker, Altbacker’s script shifts the super-heroic DC Universe to supernatural threats that Superman (Jerry O’Connell), Wonder Woman (Rosario Dawson), Green Lantern (Roger Cross) and the others are less equipped to handle. Altbacker is no stranger to heroes and magicians with credits including Spooksville and Green Lantern: The Animated Series and he does a fine job weaving the various threads.

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. WB Animation veteran director (and Dceu storyboard artist) Jay Oliva directs from a script penned by comic scribe J.M. DeMatteis and Green Lantern: Tas writer, Ernie Altbacker. As seen in the images below and above, we have our first look at Terra and Deathstroke, the two characters Ricci and Ferrer are likely playing. Update: It is with sad hearts that we report that Judas Contract will be one of Miguel Ferrer's final roles, as the 61-year-old actor passed away moments ago. He was best known for roles in the original RoboCop film,...
