The DVD special features are a little lacking, only providing a preview of the next upcoming DC animated feature. The Blu-ray version, however, has all the goodies.

Those featurettes seem pretty darn interesting, meant to introduce non-comic book fans to the Titans. I’m not the most passionate Teen Titans fan, but I do love a good misunderstanding in the comic book universe. We all benefit from those.
This is turning out to be a good year for the DC’s animated movies.
