Teen Titans Go! debuted in April of 2013, breathing new goofy life into the Teen Titans after a series of well-received shorts reunited the cast of 2003's Teen Titans as part of the DC Nation animation block. Embracing a far looser and overtly silly approach to the characters, Teen Titans Go! has evolved into one of the most flexible, self-aware, and experimental comedies on television -- capable of shifting from superhero parody to situational comedy to educational shorts within the span of an episode.

Even with ten years, nearly four hundred episodes, multiple crossovers, and a theatrical film under its belt, it doesn't seem like the Titans are stopping any time soon. Ahead of Cartoon Network's marathon of every Teen Titans Go! episode in honor of the show's ten-year anniversary -- which officially begins Apr. 23 -- CBR got the chance to sit down with Executive Producer Pete Michail and Producer Peggy Regan. The pair discussed the strength of the show's flexibility, finding comedy in unexpected places, their favorite musical moments, and teased the future of the series.

Raven, Robin, Cyborg, Beastboy, and Starfire jump for joy in Teen Titans Go!

CBR: Congrats on ten years of Teen Titans Go! Looking back at the last decade of the series, coming up on four hundred episodes, what does the writer's room for a show like this even look like?

Pete Michail: One of the things that definitely helps with the writing process is that it goes beyond the writer's room. You know, it's one of the things -- and it's by design, that Peggy and I have built as just the vibe at Teen Titans Go!. If you're a character designer, and you've got an idea for something else outside of your department, and it works, bring it in. Peggy has given us numerous story ideas. They can come from anywhere, man.

Honestly, we can be on this phone call with you, and an idea sparks, and I'm like, "Well, thanks, Brandon. We got one." It's how we're able to keep generating new ideas. We go beyond just the writer's room. If anybody's got an idea, and it's funny and something we haven't done before, if we feel like we can have fun with it? We're off and running.

Peggy Regan: I think the great thing about Titans is the subjects are kind of unorthodox a lot of times. The mantra is "Weird is great." So that's why everybody can contribute. It's collaborative. Like Pete said, if somebody throws something out, and it's like, "Oh, we can make that into something, let's do it." That makes it fun for everybody. A little bit of everybody comes through if you want to contribute on that level.

The sheer flexibility of Teen Titans Go! allows it to go to such unexpected places. Looking back, are there any storylines or jokes you're surprised got to make it to air?

Michail: I say this a lot, but Warner Brothers and DC give us a lot of room to play. I'm never surprised that they let us touch on a weird subject like health care or taxes. It's the challenge that we put on ourselves. Doing your taxes is not funny. Healthcare is not funny. Rental property is not funny. But how can we take this subject, teach kids about it, make it stupid, and try to make it as fun to watch as possible? That's really fun for us to take a subject devoid of comedy and try to find some comedy in there. How can the Titans make it funny? Because it's easy, dude. It's easy to be like, "Oh, some wacky thing happens that comes already built with comedy injected in it." But the challenge of putting some funny where it's not is a blast.

Regan: I think that's like any show like The Simpsons or South Park, where it's always the kids' humor. We find we make it entertaining, but there's always something in there for the adults. I'm sure our audience is not just 8 to 12. Titans is kind of like a Breakfast Club cast. They're misfits, in a way. But you know, there's something lovable and relatable to kids about each of them. So I think that's a big draw, especially to a lot of girls. We've got a lot of girl fans.

Raven laughs in Teen Titans Go! Season 8 Episode 3

There's a childish nature to these characters that works on a lot of levels, and I think it's vital to how fun these takes on the Titans have become. How important has that youthful feel and tone been to the series?

Michail: I mean, it's super important, but in no way will I ever say it's easy. It gets harder and harder because we're working on our 400th episode. That's 400 ideas you've done that you can't do again. But because the show has transcended comic books and superheroes, it has opened up a world of anything goes. So, again, that's not to say it's easy. But we're not just put in a box where this is all you can do. You can fight a superhero in one episode, and then in the next episode, you can teach about music royalties, and it makes sense, it's no problem, and no one's questioning you.

We always try to raise the bar every season. Every episode, we've learned from the previous episode and try to always get better and better and funnier and funnier. We make the show for the audience, but honestly, we make it just as much for us as for them. If it makes us laugh, we're like, "Well, I think it's gonna make them laugh as well," or at least we hope so.

The show gets to poke fun at and fully embrace DC. Just look at the show's Zack Snyder guest spot, which highlights his role in the franchise but still has some fun at the expense of his films. How do you find that balance?

Michail: It really changes from episode to episode, man. Again, because the show doesn't have borders. We're able to do just about anything. I mean, sometimes we do have to be pulled back a little bit from the studio or the studios. But for the most part, I wouldn't say it's easy to find the balance, but it's very liberating and freeing to know that we can go here and we can go there, and it still feels right.

Regan: Sometimes we reach out to a celebrity, and it's like, "Oh, no way will they do this." But, I mean, the longer Teen Titans Go! goes on, the more people know about it or are like, "Okay, I'm gonna opt in." For the most part, everybody's been super cool with playing along. Look at LeBron James with his "dribble dribble dribble." He was fine with that. But we were thinking, "Oh, he's never gonna do this." But I think he had tweeted about Teen Titans Go! or something, so it's like, "Oh, he's game!" There are a lot of people that are game to jump into a stupid kind of script.

Michail: Even speaking Zack Snyder stuff, Peggy reached out to him, and [Zack] was like, "Oh, I'm a huge fan." Once we got on a call with him, and we were talking -- because I can tell, some people say they're fans, but this guy was quoting episodes -- and I was like, "Oh, wow. You do watch the show, man. That's a trip." It's always fun to have, especially with somebody like that, that's such a big part of DC, come and play with us. It's really flattering.

Music has been an intrinsic part of the show since the very beginning. What song gets stuck in your head the most?

Regan: Pete and I could talk music all day with you. You know, the original "Pie Song," right? When we started, we didn't really have songs in the show. Pete is the one who interjected that. And then to "Burger versus Burrito." But I think, for me, it's "Pyramid Money Mommy." Those lyrics are so great if you ever stop and listen to them.

Michail: Well, thanks, Peggy. You're making me blush. But for me, to be honest, and this comes as no surprise, but "The Night Begins to Shine" is and will ever be just a pretty incredible song. We introduced it to the world, but that's BER. It's these three incredible musicians [who] we get to bring into the Teen Titans world and introduce their songs. That's a gem that'll forever be one of my favorites. It's a genuine banger.

Have there been any rumblings about another film? What does the future look like for Teen Titans Go!?

Regan: Oh, we got big plans. Yeah. I think there's gonna be lots of that to come.

Michail: It's no secret. Everyone knows the 400th special [is] coming. It's big. It's something that we've been wanting to do for years and years and years, and the time just was perfect for this. So we are finally getting to do it, something we've never done or seen the Titans in before -- which is really exciting for us. There's a lot of fun stuff coming. We spend some proper time in Azarath with Raven and her family, which we've never explored before. We go on a big epic adventure with Starfire. We have a lot of new, big specials coming that have things we haven't explored before. I'm really excited.
