"Teen Titans: The Judas Contract"

-

When most people think of DC Comics, they think of Superman, Wonder Woman, Batman, etc. Yet the Justice League is not the only team of heroes. Before you can make it in the big leagues, usually you become a Teen Titan.

Taking a look at the team, we get the first look at when Starfire (Kari Wahlgren) comes to Earth after escaping her sister Blackfire's takeover of the throne and becomes acquainted with the Titans and seeks refuge with them. 
Now years later, the original Robin has become Nightwing (Sean Mahr) and after a leave of the team has returned and other titans have joined since his time as the boy wonder. Raven (Taissa Farmiga), Beast Boy (Brandon Soo Hoo), Blue Beetle (Jake T. Austin) a new Robin who is the son of Batman Damian Wayne (Stuart Allan) and Terra Makov (Christina Ricci). 
As the team investigates the a villain and cult leader known as Brother Blood (Gregg Henry) and hired hand and long time foe of the Titans Deathstroke aka Slade (Miguel Ferrer). Though as they find more clues to Brother Blood's plans, they find that it has to do with gathered intel on them and that they may be getting it from someone on the inside. 

While this movie goes far from the original Cartoon Network series and the current (more childish and inferior animation) of Teen Titans Go!, this will make fans of the DC world wanting to be a Teen Titan. The constant struggle of heroism and trying to deal with normal teen angst is captured perfectly and gives you the right amount of comic relief in between the Ka-Pows! and Bams! A five G.M.Star movie for the DC Universe to shine a little brighter.

*Kevin Smith from Comic Book Men plays himself and you get a glimpse of a rarely seen hero that I can only say is a wonder-full addition. Plus, be sure to watch all the way through the credits for a special clip that may hint at a next chapter.
