During a conversation with the showrunner Justin Halpern, Robbie interviewed him about the project. During an interview, Halpern revealed his conversation with Robbie. He said,
“Margot was interested in what we were doing and we had a couple of conversations with her, but it was mostly because she was curious because they were concurrently doing Birds of Prey. So we met with her, we pitched out a few episodes to her and our general arc and she was very thoughtful and kind and just listened and that was kind of it. It wasn’t like she said no and then we went to Kaley, Margot just wanted to be informed.”

Since Robbie has an attachment to the character, she wanted to make sure that her version of the character and the animated version do not share too many similarities, and adhere to their own unique style. The actress emphasized that both stories must have their own special place without repeating things. Halpern recalled,
“I remember in one meeting, Margot turned to Geoff Johns and was like ‘Is this similar to what we’re doing?’ and Geoff was like ‘Trust me, this is way way different tonally than what you’re doing,’ and that was that. And I have to imagine he was right. I haven’t seen BoP, but I’m guessing it’s not as overtly comedic as our show.”‘
