Hi Greg, I tried searching for this question on your site to see if it's been answered before, but didn't find anything, so I hope I can get this answered! I noticed how often you (and others, maybe?) took a lot of liberties with adjusting characters' backgrounds, their ages being a big one. This is especially apparent with Tim Drake being older than Stephanie Brown and Cass Cain, and Dick being younger than Wally. While actual, explicit ages aren't often stated in the comics, it's been canon that Steph and Cass are the ones older than Tim, and Wally was the youngest of his friends for a while (including Dick), and even now they're more aligned to being the same age. Another example is making Damian and Jon the closest in age than they've ever been (only a year apart) while they're separated by three years in the comics as well. I was just wondering if there was any particular reason behind this? Once again, thanks so much and I really enjoy the show!
