Film 35 of the official Underworld Productions DC Cinematic Universe

Dick Grayson has left the Titans behind, operating solo while tracking a shadow network called HIVE. His surveillance uncovers a partnership between Brother Blood, Roman Sionis, and Oswald Cobblepot: a human-trafficking pipeline feeding recruits to HIVE for psychological conditioning. Blood realizes Robin is watching and hires Slade Wilson to eliminate the threat. Before Slade reaches him, Dick is intercepted by SPIRAL, led by Stephanie Brown. She offers protection in exchange for infiltration. Dick accepts, going undercover as the mercenary Red X. Inside HIVE’s island compound, he meets Karen Beecher, a disillusioned operative who secretly helps him gather encrypted ledgers and transport records tying Blood to the trafficking ring. As alarms trigger, Red X and Karen attempt escape with the final data shard. Slade ambushes them. Karen is shot protecting Dick. Slade reveals he knows the truth—only Robin fights like that. They clash in a savage duel across the burning docks, trading blades, batons, and history. Dick finally overpowers Slade and forces him to reveal Blood’s true base location. HIVE troops swarm in with Sionis. Slade triggers a hidden charge, blowing the platform apart and dropping Dick into the inferno below. No body is found. Asked who the spy was, Slade answers only: “Robin.” Sionis places a $100,000,000 bounty on the name. Cut to Gotham: Jason Todd receives a package from Deathstroke — a mask shard and a note: Prepare.
