The cartoon series raised their profile, but that show was aimed right at the kiddies. They did a kid-friendly, seriously watered down version of The Judas Contract. If DC/WB were to make this movie, and do it properly, it will NOT be kid-friendly. I think that might be the issue here. Are there enough people aware of TT that are in the targeted, adult audience for this? Hard to say. Some of them might know TT from their kids watching the show, but there's your dilemma. You can't sell Judas Contract to kids, and adults (at least non-comic reading adults) may think it's "kid stuff" and not bother. I'd like to see the movie happen, because it's a great story, but I can understand the business side of this.
