Teen Titans: The Judas Contract is a direct-to-video animated film adaptation of popular DC Comics superhero team Teen Titans. It is not set in the milieu of the animated series' Teen Titans that ran from 2003 until 2006. The film will be written by Marv Wolfman and Tom DeSanto.^[1] The film is expected to have a PG-13 rating and is the last in a line of three releases by Warner Bros. Animation scheduled for release in late 2007 and early 2008, the other two being Justice League: New Frontier and Superman: Doomsday.^[2]

The Judas Contract will be based on the storyline of the same name from the New Teen Titans comic book series of the 1980s, written by Wolfman and New Teen Titans collaborator George Pérez, in which Titans foe Deathstroke the Terminator employs a psychopathic, superpowered teenager, Terra, as a spy within the Titans to gain access to their secret identities and ultimately capture them. The Titans animated series also adapted this storyline, but presented Terra in a sympathic light, as a confused child who fell under Slade (Deathstroke)'s influence due to fear of and lack of control over her powers, but in the end turned against him and saved the Titans, seemingly at the cost of her own life; in the original storyline, Terra's intentions were malevolent from beginning to end, and she died while trying to kill both the Titans and Deathstroke.
