Newsarama recently sat down with writers Chris Yost and Bryan Q. Miller about their upcoming crossover story to feature in Red Robin #10 and Batgirl #8 in March. Heres a snippet of what they had to say:

Newsarama: Chris and Bryan, how did the idea to cross over these two comics come about?

Miller: I know from my end, Siglain and I had always talked about this day coming – when Steph and Tim would eventually cross paths again. As luck would have it, over on his side of the world, the talented Mr. Yost was building a Tim arc that just so happened to include a visit through the pages of Batgirl.

Yost: The Tim/Steph relationship is too big for the characters to ignore, and too much fun. Red Robin editor Mike Marts asked if I was interested, and I was. I love crossovers. And the timing was perfect, with Red Robin coming back to Gotham City for the first time in almost a year.

Nrama: Where are Steph and Tim's heads as we begin this crossover?

Miller: Steph's just finished her "Core Requirements" arc at this point, so she's actually at a pretty nice jumping on point in the continuity of the book. She's coming even more into her own. She wants to be better at what she does – she's hungry for it. Really, the only thing that could derail her a little bit would be the reappearance of a certain someone from her past.

Yost: And Tim's coming out of his battle with the Council of Spiders and the League of Assassins, where he got a substantial win. Tim's head is clear for the first time in a long time. It would appear the brooding, the darkness, all the moral compromises... Tim wants that to be done. And then of course, the first person he runs into is Stephanie.
