Not all the early bad scripts were solely the fault of story editor Sean Catherine Derek. As Bruce Timm explained years later "Early on, before we had even hired Sean, we had developed a bunch of scripts with a bunch of different freelance writers that just didn't happen. And that's typical of any show. You get a lot of things in development and hopefully, you realize early enough on that it's not working and you don't have to spend too many wasted man-hours on it. But whether or not the blame solely laid on her shoulders, a point came where there were enough straws on the camel's back". Further to this Timm said "I actually threw one out of my office, it was so bad. I remember that it was the ventriloquist dummy. It wasn't Scarface, though. We had to get a show into production. Bruce, now I know this one's not that good, you know, but just give it a read. Let's hammer it out we'll make it work. And I had bought artists reading it and they went, oh, man, is this one. No, no, no, no, no. And I'm like, oh, come on, you know? And so after trying to cajole everyone into it, I read it. And I get to the climax where Batman is wrestling with a ventriloquist dummy. It's in a prison and there's this ventriloquist dummy that attacks him. And he actually has like a wrestling match with it. And I just at that point, I just went no. And I threw the thing. I just picked it up spontaneously, threw it. It left the door of my office and the Brads came undone. And it's so it just flew like confetti. And I was like, OK, I'm fired. But they know they didn't. Jean MacCurdy actually read the script, says, yeah, yeah, this is a problem. But that's when they brought in Randy Rogel and Alan Burnett."
