Teen Titans: The Judas Contract 2017

Five years have passed since the original Teen Titans—Dick Grayson, Sean Maher as Nightwing; Speedy, Crispin Freeman; Kid Flash; Beast Boy, Brandon Soo Hoo; and Bumblebee—rushed to rescue Starfire, Kari Wahlgren from captors sent by her formidable sister Blackfire. With Starfire unable to return to her homeland on Tamaran, the Titans invite her to stay on Earth as part of the group. A spark between Dick Grayson and Starfire ignites quickly; their bond deepens the moment she kisses him to learn English, a moment that foreshadows the romance at the heart of the team. Love blooms under pressure, and the fortress of camaraderie begins to tilt toward something fiercer and more personal.

In the present, Nightwing leads the Titans on a perilous pursuit of a terrorist cult led by Brother Blood, a power-hungry figure who intends to capture the team to siphon their abilities with a machine he has tested on Jericho. Jericho’s life hangs in the balance after Blood’s accomplice, Mother Mayhem, shoots him. To accelerate his plan, Blood hires Deathstroke [Miguel Ferrer], a veteran mercenary who has survived a supposed death and seeks revenge on Damian Wayne, the new Robin [Stuart Allan], for supplanting him as Ra’s al Ghul’s chosen heir. Deathstroke relies on his covert link to the Titans through Terra, a wavering ally who joined the team a year earlier and was secretly rescued by Deathstroke after her village turned against her. Terra’s presence is a constant reminder of the fragile trust that holds the Titans together, a trust that Deathstroke exploits with chilling precision.

Terra begins as a distant, guarded figure, weathering the warmth of the group before gradually letting herself belong. She discovers a slow, luminous connection with Beast Boy, and their bond deepens into a tender romance that offers both light and danger within the team’s orbit. On a night of celebration marking Terra’s one-year anniversary with the Titans, the party reveals new feelings as Terra and Beast Boy share a quiet, intimate moment that confirms their relationship. The atmosphere of acceptance is shattered when personal allegiances fracture under the weight of the looming threat, and the espial of Deathstroke’s network grows more menacing.

The danger escalates with a series of abductions: Beast Boy is captured during a convention where he and Kevin Smith are broadcasting a podcast, Blue Beetle, Jake T. Austin, is taken from a soup kitchen, and Starfire is seized at her Earth apartment. Meanwhile, Terra ensnares Raven, Taissa Farmiga, at the Titans’ headquarters. Nightwing uncovers the breadth of Blood’s plan and the threads of betrayal weaving through Terra’s role, but Deathstroke ambushes him, forcing Nightwing to evade capture by staging a dramatic, feigned death escape.

The crescendo arrives as Terra’s true allegiance surfaces. She and Deathstroke deliver the captured Titans to Brother Blood, who intends to drain them of their powers to become a god-like force. Yet Blood’s scheme cannot function without a sixth Titan; Nightwing’s survival thwarted Blood’s expectations, and Deathstroke’s loyalty fractures. In a brutal clash, Blood absorbs the powers of the Titans, while Deathstroke’s scheme begins to crumble. A pivotal moment comes when Terra, enraged by Deathstroke’s betrayal, turns on him and uses her power to crush Blood’s fortress, even as the team fights to avert annihilation.

Raven taps into a fearsome inner power, unleashing a demon that depowers Blood, while Terra, driven by vengeance, buries Deathstroke under a cascade of rocks. Blood is fatally shot by Mother Mayhem to prevent his capture, severing Blood’s threat but leaving a scar on Terra’s soul. Humiliated and haunted by her betrayal, Terra makes a fatal choice to topple the surrounding fortress, choosing to end the catastrophe she helped start. Beast Boy, torn between loyalty and grief, attempts to help Terra escape, but she is buried under the wreckage. He eventually frees her, only to witness Terra die in his arms, a heartbreaking reminder of the costs of power and trust.

In the epilogue, Beast Boy appears on Kevin Smith’s podcast to reflect on the Titans, mentioning a “wonderful new member” and confessing that he will always miss Terra. The post-credits scene reveals Jericho’s survival, offering a glimmer of hope and a hint that the Titan saga will continue beyond the fortress’s collapse.
