This was the movie that introduced the Teen Titans into the DCAMU (or 'New 52' movies). After disobeying orders from Batman during a battle between the Justice League and the Legion of Doom, Damian is sent to spend time with the Titans in the hope he will learn to become a 'team player'. Whilst he's away the League identifies an apparently supernatural entity that manifested toward the end of their fight with the Legion. A confrontation with a now possessed Superman establishes that the entity is after 'the girl' - Raven, of the Titans. The League visit Titans Tower, demanding that Raven return with them so they can keep her safe. However, they have inadvertently led the entity right to Raven, and as the entity possesses the League and tries to take Raven by force, a battle with the Titans ensues...
The tone runs from typical Titans humour, through more serious moments, to horror (think 'DC meets Schwarzenegger's End of Days'). The voice acting is good (a number of people online don't like Taissa Farmiga's Raven; although I prefer Tara Strong's version, Farmiga does well). Jon Bernthal does a nice job of voicing Raven's demonic father, Trigon. There is a problem with pacing, with some parts dragging whilst others feel rushed. And given the run-time is only 79 minutes, FAR too much of that is spent on the Titans 'bonding' at a carnival (and a looonng dance mat competition between Beast Boy and Damian). But overall it's pretty enjoyable, with good characterisations (this was the movie where I actually started to warm towards Damian). 7/10.
