Teen Titans: The Judas Contract is an upcoming direct-to-video animated superhero film, directed by Sam Liu from a screenplay by Ernie Altbacker and J. M. DeMatteis. It is part of the DC Universe Animated Original Movies. The film features the voices of Christina Ricci, Taissa Farmiga, and Miguel Ferrer in one of his final performances before his death from throat cancer at age 61.
An adaptation of the The Judas Contract was planned as the third DC Universe Animated Original Movie, to be released after Superman: Doomsday (2007) and Justice League: The New Frontier (2008), however, this was later shelved. It was to be based on 1984's "The Judas Contract" story featured in Tales of the Teen Titans #42–44, and Teen Titans Annual #3 by Marv Wolfman and George Pérez. Warner Bros. Animation's writer/producer Bruce Timm confirmed in April 2010 that there were no current plans to revive the project. In July 2016, however, Warner Bros. announced that the project had officially been resurfaced as Teen Titans: The Judas Contract and will serve as the sequel to Justice League vs. Teen Titans. In January 2017, it was announced that Farmiga, Austin, Wahlgren, Soo Hoo, Allan and Maher, would reprise their roles, and Christina Ricci and Miguel Ferrer would join the cast as Terra and Deathstroke, respectively.
