"It’s really examining the dangers of looking at the past through rose-colored glasses and doing a great service by having most (though not Superboy) of the characters realize that this is not the past as they remember it to be. This is the past as seen through Peter David’s eyes and as such it is much more immature and problematic. A key moment of this was the interaction that Robin had with Batman. As we saw in Batman: Urban Legends #10, the Bruce that Tim knows was supportive and happy for Tim finding his own happiness with Bernard. However, the Bruce of the Peter Davidverse? Less so, going as far as to call Tim’s sexuality a phase, a phrase that absolutely would have felt right at home in David’s era of Young Justice." - Cori McCreery

"There were a lot of female characters at the time who struggled to be in those spaces. And I recognize that, I recognize being in a very male dominated space. And I think there's a lot of angst that we don't always talk about. And there's a lot of, "Well, you should just be happy that you're here." And I think for Cassie, I think that's a lot of people being like, "Well you should just be happy enough that you're here." And that takes away from a lot of the stuff that she's had to put up with and go through. And so wanting to give Cassie that voice and give her that space to put paint to the fact that she's frustrated. She's got a lot to say. And as I said, as Dave and I were digging into the story, it was a lot about how Cassie is just done. Cassie is just angry. And it was fun to be able to write that, it was fun as a female creator, to be able to write being angry. Because it's a space that we don't always get to see." - Meghan Fitzmartin
