Teen Titans Go! makes its debut Tuesday, and it might not be what fans expect. The new animated series is a straight up comedy that presents the characters and stories in a way no one has seen before. We caught up with producers and writers Michael Jelenic (The Batman, Batman: The Brave and the Bold, Legion of Super Heroes) and Aaron Horvath (MAD) and voice actors Greg Cipes (“Beast Boy”) and Khary Payton (“Cyborg”) at WonderCon to discuss how this series is different and mostly how they intend it to be fun.
The series has evolved since they first teased it at San Diego Comic-Con last summer. Jelenic says it’s weirder – in a good way. “We probably said the show was weird six months ago or however long ago that was, but it’s a lot weirder than we initially thought. We’re really taking characters who are meant for one thing – fighting crime – and putting them in situations they were never supposed to be in. I know that sounds terrible the way I just described it, but it’s actually working somehow. And I think it’s working because these are old characters. We’ve seen a ton of stories with them and lot of these stories are familiar, but putting them in unfamiliar situations, situations they weren’t necessarily meant for, is allowing us to tell new stories and bring out different aspects of these characters.”
