"It's tough trying to get the feel of the cartoon without seeing the show so I just tried to draw the characters as on model as I could and give the paneling a real wide screen look in accordance to what Bruce Timm has been talking about in interviews", said Delaney.
"I remember when I was working on [Adventures In The DC Universe] and the new Batman and Robin designs were given to us to incorporate into our Nightwing story. The problem was there was no complete turnaround of Nightwing yet so I didn't know what he would look like from behind, so I had to just bluff his costume design and in the one panel where we see Nightwing from behind I drew the same blue bird design he has in front continuing on the back. When I finally got to see an episode of the show I saw how it was different in back but not before several fans pointed out my error to me. That's why I was so glad when I started on this book all the characters had full turnaround designs."
