Teen Titans: The Judas
Contract is the newest movie in the DC Animated Universe. The Teen Titans
must deal with a threat from within, Brother Blood (Gregg Henry), and
Deathstroke (the late Miguel Ferrer in his final film role). The animation is
stellar, pretty damn on par with the rest of the DCAU. The voice cast is also
excellent. The first cast member I really want to compliment is Taissa Farmiga
as Raven. In Justice League vs. Teen
Titans, she felt off to me. This time around, the actress felt a lot more
comfortable with the character. Miguel Ferrer as Deathstroke feels cold and
calculating, as the character should, even if the movie never really makes it
clear why he wants to take the Teen Titans down so badly. The absolute best
performer in the movie is Christina Ricci as Terra. As a character, Terra is a
tragic villain. Ricci sells her pain and anger with apparent ease. The
character’s backstory is interesting. You understand why she is the way she is.
Don’t get me wrong; as much as I did like the movie, it isn’t a perfect film. I
already mentioned Deathstroke’s lack of motivation. Beyond that, the opening
scene isn’t really necessary to the overall story. It wasn’t a bad scene, but
it could’ve been cut, and wouldn’t have changed anything.
