History WesternAnimation / TeenTitansTheJudasContract

* PreciousPuppy: [[spoiler: Raven gets Damian a puppy at the end of the film, which is later revealed (in the Batman movies taking place after this) to be Titus.]]

* ShipTease: Again, between Damian and Raven. Though it's less obvious compared to ''Justice League vs Teen Titans'', they do share a certain level of intimacy and understanding with one another. She's also the only one who gets to call him out on his attitude without him getting too nasty in return. [[spoiler: It's most obvious in their final scene together when Raven gives him a puppy as a gift that he accepts.]]

* TogetherInDeath: [[spoiler: After shooting Blood, Mayhem holds his body as Blood's lair collapses on them.]]
* TooSoon: In-universe. [[spoiler: When Kevin Smith asked if Wonder Girl is replacing Terra after hearing stories about what happened to her, Beast Boy's expression falls. Kevin mentions the trope by name and tells Beast Boy he doesn't have to talk about it]].
* UncannyValleyMakeup: [[spoiler: Just to add to the Squick of the whole thing, Terra's face is ''caked'' in makeup (it just makes her look like a child trying to be a grown-up) when she tries seducing Slade.]]

* FirstKiss: One happens between Garfield and Tara, after he tells her that ''all'' of the Titans have rough pasts and it's that pain that allows them to be heroes. [[spoiler: Also counts as LastKiss because of Terra's betrayal and eventual suicide]].

* OffscreenMomentOfAwesome: [[spoiler: Raven and Terra's]] unseen battle left the room they were in utterly trashed. While we don't see how it got that way and that Terra eventually won, those two girls ''threw down'' a ''major'' battle.

* OneManArmy: Terra is this when going all out. Garfield's a bigtime sweeper, too.

* PreciousPuppy: [[spoiler: Raven gets Damien a puppy at the end of the film, which is later revealed (in the Batman movies taking place after this) to be Titus.]]

* SchmuckBait: Beast Boy is tricked into going to a podcast with Kevin Smith where there's nothing but a BigRedButton labeled "Do Not Press!" Naturally, he presses it, which sends several sedative darts into his chest.

* ShipTease: Again between Damian and Raven. Though it's less obvious compared to ''JL v TT'', they do share a certain intimacy and understanding with one another. She's also the only one who gets to call him out on his attitude without him getting too nasty. [[spoiler: It's most obvious at the end when Raven gives Damian a puppy that he accepts.]]

* WasItAllALie: Terra angrily asks [[spoiler: Slade if she was just another test subject for him to study like the Titans had been. A very understandable question, since he sold her out to Brother Blood and left her to die. Deathstroke tries to claim it was a misunderstanding, not really answering her question. It doesn't matter; when she's free, she goes on a full rampage against him]].

* MadeOfIron: Damian and Dick, but especially Damien. He takes so much damage from super-powered Slade that, under more realistic conditions, his bones should all be mush.

* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: [[spoiler: Terra is horrified when she realizes that the man she trusted, whom she saw as a father and lover, betrayed her and left her to die with the Titans. What's more, she seems to realize that the Titans in a year had more care for her well-being than Deathstroke had during her entire life, and she just betrayed them.]]

* NeverSpeakIllOfTheDead: Beast Boy when talking about [[spoiler: Terra refuses to badmouth her during the podcast. He has every reason to, given that she nearly got him and the whole team killed, but she also saved them when the chips came down.]]
* NotSoDifferent: Damian effortlessly deduces how Slade psychologically controls Terra through isolation and indoctrination. As a child groomed to be the successor as leader to the League of Assassins, he'd know.

* OffscreenMomentOfAwesome: [[spoiler:Raven and Terra's]] battle utterly trashed the room they were in, but we don't see how it got that way, only that the latter won.
* OnceMoreWithClarity: We see how (most) of the Titans were [[spoiler:captured by Slade]] when Dick investigates the aftermath and pieces together what happened.

* PreciousPuppy: [[spoiler: Raven gets Damien a puppy at the end of the film, which is most likely meant to be Titus.]]

* TogetherInDeath: [[spoiler:After shooting Blood, Mayhem holds his body after Blood's lair collapses on them.]]

* UncannyValleyMakeup: [[spoiler:Just to add to the Squick of the whole thing, Terra's face is ''caked'' in makeup when she tries seducing Slade.]]
* VillainousBreakdown: Brother Blood begins ranting about his destiny while [[spoiler:his lair is collapsing]]. He barely pauses as the Titans are beating him up in the middle of it.

* WasItAllALie: Terra angrily asks [[spoiler:Slade if she was just another test subject for him to study. A very understandable question, since he sold her out to Brother Blood and would have left her to die. Deathstroke tries to claim it was a misunderstanding, not really answering her question. It doesn't matter; when she's free, she goes on the rampage against him]].

* AdaptationalAngstUpgrade: In the comics, while Jaime's family were uncomfortable with the fact he was bonded with the Scarab, they were able to reconcile very quickly. In the film, two years have past after Jaime bonded with the Scarab and there's still lingering issues with the situation. Especially from Jaime's dad who still isn't comfortable with it. Garfield notes that Jaime may ''never'' be able to see his family face-to-face again, implicitly because his control over the Scarab is imperfect, it gets nervous around humans (especially Jaime's dad, sensing his dislike of it), creating a recipe for tragic catastrophe.
* AdaptationalHeroism: [[spoiler:Terra's still evil, but she's not the sociopath she was in the comics. Rather, Deathstroke saved her from a bunch of bigots planning to murder her and took her in. She even uses her powers to send Beast Boy away when she brings Blood's lair down on herself and Deathstroke. How evil the original was, ''scaring even Slade at times,'' can't be overstated. Unlike in the comics, she actually apologizes to Beast Boy for what she did.]]

** In the comics, [[spoiler:Deathstroke was tried for his part in kidnapping the Titans, but he got off scott-free due to his connections, talked down an angry Beast Boy who wanted to murder him, and encouraged the Titans to take in his two more heroic children. There's none of that here; if he survives Terra bringing rubble down on him, he's in for a lot of pain and legal repercussions.]]
** To a more minor extent, [[spoiler:Terra's betrayal in the comics was covered up, and the Titans maintained that she died a hero. This had serious repercussions when in a BadFuture a villain decided to recreate the exact plot with a new girl and new Titans. Here, while Terra is given DueToTheDead, it's also established that the public knows the gist of what happened, and that she was a {{Mole}}.]]

** Aqualad and Wonder Girl don't appear with the original Titans team when seen in a flashback. [[spoiler:Wonder Girl does, however, have a cameo at the end where it's revealed she has joined the Titans after Terra's death. This is her first animated Titans appearance, after being the only Bronze Age Titan who didn't get at least a guest spot on the TV series]].

* AdaptationalVillainy: Slade loves no one in this version; Terra is a pawn to him, we don't see his family anywhere, and he doesn't have any redeeming moments whatsover. To seal the deal, [[spoiler:he sells out Terra to Brother Blood.]]
* AllYourPowersCombined: [[spoiler:Brother Blood's final plan is to leech the Teen Titans of their powers. He gets halfway there, failing to drain them completely but still getting their powers.]]

* ArtisticLicenseBiology: There's no way Damien could stalemate a much larger, more muscular Slade in a clash of swords, even under normal circumstances, let alone when the latter is larger and superpowered.

'''Raven:''' They are not demons. [[MindRape Let me show you one....]]
* BadassNormal: Damien and Dick. More so Damien, who for some reason can compete in a battle of strength against a much larger and superpowered Slade.

* TheBerserker: Usually Terra holds back with her powers because the wrong move could get people hurt in the backlash. But then in the climax, [[spoiler:when she's raging against Slade for betraying her, she no longer cares and becomes a OneWomanArmy]].

* BoomHeadshot: Jericho gets this when he's finished testing the PowerCopying machine. [[spoiler:It doesn't stick.]]
* BrickJoke: While Slade has Damien captive, he laments that there isn't time to break him, as Slade could easily have Damien "fetching my pipe and calling me papa." In the climax, Damien greets Slade thus:

** Jericho has a short, non-speaking role ([[TheSpeechless obviously]]) in which he's used as a test subject for Blood's PowerCopying machine then killed by Mayhem once he's finished proving it works. [[spoiler:He revives in TheStinger, implicitly possessing his ability to BodySurf through eye contact.]]

* CastingGag: Blue Beetle is voiced by Jake T. Austin while his mother is voiced by Creator/MariaCanalsBarrera . This wouldn't be the only time they're [[Series/WizardsOfWaverlyPlace mother and son]] .

* DeathEqualsRedemption: [[spoiler:The Titans might have forgiven Terra knowing the kind of monster Deathstroke is, depending on how much time they had to deal with their grief, but she couldn't forgive herself for betraying the team, and feels like she has no place in the world now with Deathstroke having betrayed her. She destroys Brother Blood's lair and stops Beast Boy from saving her, though she apologizes to him. While the team doesn't cover up her actions, Beast Boy points out that she did the right thing in the end.]]
* DePower: [[spoiler:Raven uses her dark magic to drain all of Blood's stolen power and his immortality.]]

* DiedInYourArmsTonight: [[spoiler:Beast Boy dug Terra out of the rubble; she was still alive when he found her. Then she passed away, and no one could save her.]]

* EvilCannotComprehendGood: [[spoiler:Terra, but more specifically, "Traumatized and Brainwashed Cannot Comprehend Good." The reason she can't fully trust that the Titans care is genuine because she has already witnessed the worst of humanity, as much as her devotion to Deathstroke. She's also completely thrown off when the team doesn't blame her for losing control and nearly killing Garfield during training.]]
* EvilMakeover: [[spoiler:Terra gets one after going full-on traitor: evil haircut and dye job, evil eye-liner and eye-shadow, and new evil ear-piercings.]]

* FirstKiss: One happens between Garfield and Tara, after he tells her that ''all'' of the Titans have had rough lives and it's that same pain is what allows them to be heroes. [[spoiler:Also counts as LastKiss because of Terra's betrayal and eventual suicide]].
** There is also the heavy implication that was Tara was literally the first person that Garfield had kissed because Starfire had mentioned that Garfield's green skin and superpowers manifested when he was 11; and simply by the extremely over excited way he reacts after it's over: [[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything running down the beach shouting "Yes" before turning into a gorilla and pounding his chest, then turning into a wolf and howling, before turning back into his human form and jumping into the air to turn into an eagle; all the while excitedly cheering and whooping]].

* AGodAmI: Brother Blood proclaims this after he's [[spoiler:absorbed the powers of the Titans]].

* HairTriggerTemper: [[spoiler:Jaime's dad seems to set off the Scarab Armor, as it doesn't like his temper.]]

* MadeOfIron: Damien and Dick, but especially Damien. He takes so much damage from super-powered Slade that, under more realistic conditions, his bones should all be mush.
* MercyKill: [[spoiler:Mayhem shoots Blood after he's been drained of his power by Raven, to spare him prison.]]

* MookChivalry: A rare version on the heroes' side. [[spoiler:After Blood absorbs all of the Titans' powers, their "fight" consists of the Titans repeatedly rushing at Blood one at a time, to no effect.]]
* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: [[spoiler:Terra is horrified when she realizes that the man she trusted, whom she saw as a father and lover, betrayed her and left her to die with the Titans. What's more, she seems to realize that the Titans in a year had more care for her well-being than Deathstroke had during her entire life, and she just betrayed them.]]

* NeverSpeakIllOfTheDead: Beast Boy when talking about [[spoiler:Terra refuses to badmouth her during the podcast. He has every reason to, given that she nearly got him and the whole team killed, but she also saved them when the chips came down.]]

* RealityEnsues: Slade ambushes Dick out of his Nightwing getup and throws Dick out a multistory window. He brakes his fall with a grapple gun he had hidden on his person, but Slade cuts the rope. Dick grabs a convenient ledge to break his fall again. . . and dislocates his shoulder. Then loses his grip and falls the rest of the way [[TrashLanding into some garbage]]. Then fails to either outrun or outfight the fully armed and armored Slade with no costume, weapons, or gadgets and one useless arm, since he can't take the time and effort to pop it back in place while being pursued by one of the world's top mercenary killers.
* SayMyName: [[spoiler: Terra screams Slade's name.]]

* ShipTease: Again a little between Damian and Raven. Though it's less obvious than in ''JL v TT'', they do share a certain intimacy and understanding with one another. She's also the only one who gets to call him out without him getting too nasty. [[spoiler: It's most obvious at the end when Raven gives Damian a puppy.]]

* TheStinger: [[spoiler:Jericho heals from his headshot and his eyes glow.]]

* PowersAsPrograms: Brother Blood uses a machine to successfully transfer the Titans' powers into himself in spite of their disparate sources: alien biology, alien ''technology'', mutation, and magic from demonic heritage.

* BrickJoke:
-->'''Damian''': "Hey, Papa! Here's your pipe!"

* AdaptationalAngstUpgrade: In the comics, while Jaime's family were uncomfortable with the fact he was bonded with the Scarab, they were able to reconcile very quickly. In the film, two years have past after Jaime bonded with the Scarab and there's still lingering issues with the situation. Especially from Jaime's dad who still isn't comfortable with it.

* ThereAreNoTherapists: Terra's clearly suffering from some sort of trouble, not even counting the stuff the Titans don't know about, as her nightmares frequently cause her powers to shake the whole tower. Getting her any real help isn't entertained at any point.

* AGodIAm: Brother Blood proclaims this after he's [[spoiler:absorbed the powers of the Titans]].

* RoleReprisal: Creator/JasonSpisak, Creator/CrispinFreeman and Masaya Moyo reprise their respective roles in ''WesternAnimation/YoungJustice'' as Kid Flash, Speedy, and Bumblebee.
** In the French dub, in addition to having the same role reprisals as the ones from ''WesternAnimation/JusticeLeagueVsTeenTitans'', Laura Préjean as Terra and Charles Pestel as Speedy from ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitans'' as well as Jérémie Covillault as Deathstroke from ''[[WesternAnimation/LegoDCComicsSuperHeroes Justice League: Gotham City Breakout]]''.

** The female volunteer that Jaime meets is actually Traci Thirteen. Though, she doesn't show any of her magic stealing powers.

* AllYourPowersCombined: [[spoiler: Brother Blood's final plan is to leech the Teen Titans of their powers. He gets halfway there, failing to drain them completely but still getting their powers.]]

* HairTriggerTemper: [[spoiler: Jaime's dad seems to set off the Scarab Armor, as it doesn't like his temper.]]

* TooSoon: In-universe. [[spoiler: When Kevin Smith asked if Wonder Girl is replacing Terra after hearing stories about what happened to her, Beast Boy starts to feel sad. Kevin mentions the trope by name and tells Beast Boy he doesn't have to talk about it]].

* EvilMakeover: [[spoiler:Terra gets one after going full-on traitor: evil haircut, evil eye shadow and a new evil costume.]]

* AdaptationalAngstUpgrade: In the comics, Jaime's family still had issues with Jaime being bonded with the Scarab. However, they were able to patch things up very quickly. In here, in after two years, there's still some issues with the situation. Especially from Jaime's dad.

* TheCameo: Jericho has a short, non-speaking role ([[TheSpeechless obviously]]) in which he's used as a test subject for Blood's PowerCopying machine then killed by Mayhem once he's finished proving it works. [[spoiler:He revives in TheStinger, implicitly possessing his ability to BodySurf through eye contact.]]

* FirstKiss: One happens between Garfield and Tara, after he tells her that ''all'' of the Titans have had rough lives and it's that same pain is what allows them to be heroes. Also counts as LastKiss because of Terra's betrayal and eventual suicide.

A movie in the WesternAnimation/DCUniverseAnimatedOriginalMovies line, ''Teen Titans: The Judas Contract'' is a sequel to ''WesternAnimation/JusticeLeagueVsTeenTitans'' and an adaptation of ''ComicBook/TheJudasContract''. In addition to the returns of Creator/SeanMaher as Nightwing, Staurt Allen as Robin, Creator/TaissaFarmiga as Raven, Jake T. Austin as Blue Beetle, Brandon Soo Hoo as Beast Boy, and Creator/KariWahlgren as Starfire, it features Creator/ChristinaRicci as Terra and Creator/MiguelFerrer in one of his last roles as ComicBook/{{Deathstroke}}.

* GenreSavvy: Slade:
** Robin tries to bait Slade into letting him go so they can fight, but he laughs and says he's no B-Movie Villain.
** Robin tells Slade, "No god is going to save you, Deathstroke!" Slade then promptly advises Blood that whatever he's going to do to the Titans, he'd better do it quick.

** Even though Terra's role with the Titans came to an end, she still holds onto her phone, which ultimately allowed Dick to track her.

* ProperlyParanoid: Damian is certain that something deeper than trauma is affecting Terra's behavior. [[spoiler: It wasn't bad enough that he suspected she was a traitor, though. He even turned his back to her and told her to stay back so Slade couldn't hurt her.]]

* DangerouslyGenreSavvy: Deathstroke:
** Damian tries to bait Slade into freeing him so they can fight, but Slade laughs and says he's no B-Movie villain.
** Damian warns Deathstroke that "no god will save him". Deathstroke then warns Blood if he's going to kill the Titans, he'd better be quick about it.

* CharacterDevelopment: This film spends a surprising amount of time focusing the the Titans' personal lives and relationships with one another, allowing everyone (except maybe Damian and Raven, who got their spotlight in JL vs TT) to grow as individuals and overcome some personal demons.

** Damian warns Deathstroke that "no god will save him". Deathstroke then warns Blood he'd better hurry up and kill the Titans.

* DudeWheresMyRespect: Despite being the leader, Starfire is upset that the other Titans look up to Nightwing. She doesn't blame Nightwing for it, however. Turns out it's just insecurity; even Damian (the most critical member on the time) holds her leadership in high regard.

** Even though he claimed he was no B-Movie villain, Slade left Dick for dead even though there was no body.

* ShipTease: Again a little between Damian and Raven, though it's less obvious than in ''JL v TT''. [[spoiler: It's most obvious at the end when Raven gives Damian a puppy.]]

* DudeWheresMyRespect: Despite being the leader, Starfire is upset that the other Titans look up to Nightwing. She doesn't blame Nightwing for it, however.
* EvilCannotComprehendGood: [[spoiler:Terra, but more specifically, "Traumatized and Brainwashed Cannot Comprehend Good." The reason she can't fully trust that the Titans care is genuine because she has already witnessed the worst of humanity, as much as her devotion to Deathstroke.]]

** In the French dub, in addition to having the same role reprisals as the ones from ''WesternAnimation/JusticeLeagueVsTeenTitans'', Laura Préjean as Terra and Charles Pestel as Speedy from ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitans'' as well as Jérémie Covillault from ''[[WesternAnimation/LegoDCComicsSuperHeroes Justice League: Gotham City Breakout]]'' as Deathstroke.
