This DVD is a must have for any fan!
"Divide and Conquer"
As the intro to the Teen Titans, the teen team heroes deal with Cinderblock as he breaks into prison to free a shape-shifting prisoner. We soon learn he's working for the lusciously evil Slade. There's a squabble between Robin and Cyborg, but they soon learn to work together.
"Sisters"
Starfire's sister, Blackfire, is visiting Earth. She's mush more outgoing and seemingly cooler than her little sister, and quickly bonds with the Titans. Problem is, she's on the run from the powers that be, and is all too willing to let the intergalactic police nab her sister instead.
"Final Exam"
Slade recruits three graduates of a school for young mutants (school for mutants…where have I heard of that before?) to destroy the Titans. The Titans try fighting them one-on-one, lose ever time. They learn that by working together, they can defeat any foe.
"Forces of Nature"
Thunder and Lightning come to town…literally. The brothers, personifications of their namesake weather patterns, like to cause chaos. They become unwitting pawns to Slade, trying to get closer to destroying the Titans.
"The Sum of His Parts"
Cyborg must deal with the limitations of his mechanical parts as the Titans face off against Mumbo (voiced by Tom Kenny, Spongebob Squarepants), a trickster magician.
"Nevermore"
Beast Boy and Cyborg accidentally invade her psyche as Raven must face her inner demons—literally. Beast Boy and Cyborg witness the various parts of Raven's personality—the emotions she suppresses to keep her powers in check—as Raven deals with her father, a demon of pure rage. Marks the first appearance of Puffy Ami Yumi's Japanese version of the theme song.
"Switched"
The Puppet King, obsessed with the Titans, attempts to trap the essences of the real Titans inside marionettes while replacing the real heroes with doppelgangers he can control. He successfully "switches" Robin, Cyborg, and Beast Boy, but Starfire and Raven escape—though their essences trade bodies in the process. Not only must the girls rescue the boys, they also must learn to harness their emotions to use the other's powers effectively.
"Deep Six"
Trident, master criminal from under the sea, steals a boatload of toxic waste. While tracking him down, the Titans team with Aqualad from Teen Titans:East (voiced by Wil Wheaton, Star Trek: The Next Generation), then kick undersea butt.
"Masks"
After coming as close as he's come to facing Slade, Robin goes vaguely Batman-ish, trying to crack the clues to find his nemesis. A new villain, Red X, appears on the scene and seems to know the Titans' every move…and Robin always seems to be otherwise occupied when the Titans face him. Red X deals with Slade to bring him a disc full of information…and it doesn't take much to guess who Red X is.
"Detention"
The Titans are captured by Mad Mod (voiced by Malcolm McDowell, A Clockwork Orange), a "groovy" trickster who wants to teach them a lesson, literally.
"Car Trouble"
Cyborg builds himself a sweet ride, only to see two hoods steal it.
"Apprentice" (Parts I and II)
At long last, the Titans face Slade. He threatens to blow up the entire city, and as the Titans track down the bomb, Robin splits off to nail Slade…falling perfectly into the villain's trap. The bomb is only a decoy so that Slade can infect the other Titans with nanobots, which he can use to kill them with the push of a button.
