Whilst producer Eric Radomski and artist Bruce Timm both knew a lot about the character of Batman, they didn't really know how to run a TV series since neither of the two had ever been show-runners before. So the studio enlisted I Puffi (1981) story editor Sean Catherine Derek to help the pair out. Unfortunately, according to series writer Martin Pasko, when Sean had been asked whether or not she knew Batman in her interview, her response was less confident. So following the interview, she went home to do a crash course on the character, unfortunately it was the campy Adam West version of Batman (1966). This led to a lot of weird decisions that didn't quite fit the tone the show was going for. According to Eric Radomski. at one point, Ace the bat hound was going to be a main character. "They were even talking about giving Batman a dog so he would have a dog in the Batcave. And I was like, no, what the hell are you talking about? But they thought it would be a macho kind of cool thing, that it would still a phenomenon. We were like, no f***ing way just get rid of the dog." Radomski had serious creative differences with Sean. According to the Batman animated book, the writers felt that scripts weren't quite reaching the level of sophistication that they were aiming for and Sean felt that the directors and storyboard artists were taking too many liberties with her scripts.
