I went to Toonzone.net and they linked over to Worldsfinestonline's posting about the new Teen Titans series. It appears an promo image was included with the press release, World's Finest has it up in the full 1920x1080 -- I shrunk it down to post here:

I was hoping that this would be a direct continution of the Teen Titans show, but it looks like we'll be in for something slightly different.

Maybe later tonight I'll check out the shorts, but I like the look of those designs.

I love how DC has such trouble doing well cinematically, but they best Marvel's television efforts so easily.

From Collider:

ya know....TT was good, but not enough to replace the DVD set I have with Blu Ray. I mean I know a lot of fans are excited about next year getting batman TAS on Blu Ray, but honestly for most of the 90's/early 2000's stuff, *for me* at least, Blu ray wont enhance my experience that much. now I did purchase newer series such as Thundercats, Young Justice, Batman TB&TB, and Green lantern, and even Beware the Batman on Blu ray because they obviously had that HD quality. I'm not saying fans shouldn't purchase this, but in order to avoid repurchasing my quite extensive library all over again on BRD, I have to draw the line somewhere. I love that JL has been on BRD for a long time, and that more DC shows are getting the treatment. But I'd rather they finish what they have held off on...

Still waiting for: Filmation Superboy Series, Static Shock seasons 3&4, and Legion of Superheroes season 2 (although I would repurchase season 1 if it were all in one set, instead of 3 separate DVD's).

Also GOOD RIDDANCE to TT GO, a show that never should have existed, and went on wayyy too long, as a testament to how awful CN has gotten. I was shocked to find out that this single show makes up 50% of CN round the clock airtime what in the world are they thinking???

That the highly popular Teen Titans Go! has basically no merhcandise is one of the many reasons I find Cartoon Network's "excuse" for cancelling some shows for not having merchandise (or merchandise not selling well) so laughable. Sym-Bionic Titan was cancelled with the no merchandise excuse, and I think the new ThunderCats show had a merchandise not selling well component.

If merchandise was really such a big deal for Cartoon Network big hits like Adventure Time would have toys all over the place; CN used to run commercials for some toys a couple three years ago but apparently those were really only available at Hot Topic. Now that's just stupid -- if merchandise sales truly mattered you make sure to get your product into stores like Target and Wal-Mart not limit availability to the comparative handful of locations of a mall only chain.

Teen Titans Go is a pale clone of the original cartoon. It may have some good episodes, but they are far and few between.

I kinda wish this movie was coming out soon, because I wanna take my daughter to her first movie (she just turned 4), and I worry that Incredibles 2 might be too long for her (it's almost 2 hours...plus previews put us at probably 2.5 hours...that's LONG for a kid), while this will probably clock in around 80 minutes and the animation style is more eye-catching for a kid.

As a father myself, I can only give you one piece of advise DONT DONT DONT...take your child to see this film... You will be much better off with The Incredibles 2. Also I'm not sure if there is a smaller/budget theater in your area, but if there is, I'd definitely recommend that. We took our kids to the smaller format theaters until they were about 5/6. For a couple of reasons..

1. As you mentioned, I don't think they could sit through a long format film
2. I did not want to be disrespectful to others who had paid premium price for a new film
3. I figured they would not remember, and I wanted their first *big time* movie theater experience to be a good one, they could remember fondly.

I mean for the record, my parents took me to see Empire Strikes Back in 1980, I was 4. We sat in the front row, and back then, the seats were literally so close to the screen you did get a crink in your neck from looking up. Also that blaring Mono soundtrack and sound effects from behind the screen in those days was pretty traumatizing .

If you can be patient, I'd definitely take them to Incredibles 2 near the end of its theatrical run if you have such a theater in your area. besides the "bright colors" and happy music of Teen Titans Go may be more appealing to a toddler, but your brain will melt from it's sheer stupidity, and general lack of respect for common decency.
