Timm: 'DC animated movies will continue'

Bruce Timm has promised that DC is continuing its work on the animated movie line.

The animator - best known for his work on DC's animated series and feature-length films - addressed rumours that the franchise was in trouble in a Warner Home Video Q&A.

The rumours arose from a reportedly 'exclusive interview' in which Timm suggested that the movies were performing below expectations.

"First of all, it wasn't an actual one-on-one interview - quotes were taken out of context from longer answers I gave on a panel at the Expo," said Timm.

"Bottom line: the DCU films are definitely continuing. We've got projects lined up for the next two years at the very least - lots of films in different stages of development and production.

"I know there are a lot of rumours circulating about future films. Some are true, some are not. I'll tell you this much - anyone at our DCU/Batman: Under the Red Hood panel at Comic-Con will walk away with a very clear picture of the direction we're taking the DCU animated movies in the coming year."
