ThinkMcFly has an interview with Bruce Timm about the future direct-to-Dvd features. I didn’t know whether Direct-to-DVDs counted as “moves” or “TV” so I’m posting it here.

Are there any current plans to for ‘Judas Contract’ to be developed as an animated feature?

We had quite a few drafts done up, but nothing that we really loved. We did love what they did with it in the Teen Titans series, and for now we’ll continue to go that route. Again it’s like the Batman Vs Dracula, it was done recently, and it worked. It would be redundant to do something different right now.

Is there any chance of ‘Hush’ or ‘The long Halloween’ being developed?

Hush isn’t something that we’re all that interested in our end, but it has come up. The real problem with Hush is that it works better as comic then it would as a movie, it could work as a show, maybe. The same can really be said for The Long Halloween as well. It works a lot better as a comic, and not so much as a movie.

I wouldn’t rule out either of them altogether, but it won’t be happening anytime soon.

Are there plans to do any more sequels for the recently released DC animated films?

We had originally planned to do sequels for Wonder Woman and Green Lantern, but Wonder Woman’s sales started out extremely slow and then over time were eventually able to catch up to probably Justice League Frontier. The Exec’s decided because it wasn’t able to sell quickly right away, where as Justice League was, that there wouldn’t be any more female super hero films right now. We were developing and hoping to get started on a batgirl film based on Year One, but because of Wonder Woman’s slow sales start, that won’t be happening now.

With Green Lantern, it didn’t perform nearly as well as what they had hoped it would. In the long run it eventually made its money back, but the sales weren’t there right away during its release. Hopefully with the release of the Live Action film next year, that will open up the doors for more Green Lantern relate material.

Are there any current plans for an ‘Aqua man’ animated film?

No. We did developed an Aqua man script for a direct to video movie. Marketing decided it wasn’t going to be profitable enough to release.

The comic book needs to be wiped clean and have a re-boot once a year, they’re not able to keep the fan base interested any longer then that.

I’m a little late replying to this post. (Just browsing the Forum for topics I missed.)

I have to say I thought the animated Wonder Woman DVD was incredibly well done. My boyfriend, who usually sits through these movies to be nice to me, said the Wonder Woman DVD was his favorite! A perfect origin story, it did a great job of explaining the history of the Amazons, portrayed Diana as beautiful, strong and noble, and Nathan Fillion’s portrayal of Steve Trevor was the best interpretation of the character ever! The powers that be could do worse than base a live action film on the animated movie.

I’m disappointed that DC isn’t interested in making a sequel. Most of all because the

I would have loved to see a sequel based on that scene alone. * sigh *

I know I didn’t see the Wonder Woman DVD, but I did see the Green Lantern one and I enjoy it very much. The action as well done and the story plot was very smooth. It was like reading a comic, it was that well done. Shame there is on plans for a follow up.

I think it would’ve been awesome to see a Batgirl Year One Animated Feature. I read the graphic novel and purchased the motion comic from amazon.com and loved it.

I guess that motion comic will be as close as I’m going to get to seeing it as a feature.

Maybe if Superman/Batman Apocalypse sells well on DVD and Blu Ray, they’ll make the Batgirl Year One movie
