Hey Greg, I just had a question...

I know that you can't actually use the Koreas on your show 'Young Justice' and Qurac is a shoutout to the comic books, and I don't know about Bialya, but that makes me wonder...did you stop there? Is it possible for you guys to reveal a full Earth-16 map? It would be fascinating to see what other geo-political changes you made.

In the above link, you say that Aqualad dropped out of Sorcery school before he got to the advanced level, which is why his tattoos are always visible on his arms while Tula and Garth's aren't.

In "Downtime," Queen Mera implies that Aqualad, Tula and Garth used to be in the same learning level.

However, in issue #5, when Aqualad and Garth show up to fight Ocean Master, we can see Aqualad's dark tattoos (before they glow) on his arms, but Garth doesn't have any on his. Shouldn't either both or none have visible tattoos, if they were at the same level?

Please don't interpret my question as a dishonest attempt to corner you. I'm just truing to figure out the continuity.

Thanks.

Hey Greg,
first I wanna thank you for doing this for us fans.
Now my question: Why didn't Artemis put on the Helmet of Faith in "Homefront"? That would have made her stronger

Demi writes...

HEY again!I saw Home Front and I loved it.It was my favorite episode and i keep watching it. I was just wondering why Artemis closes her eyes or covers her eyes when theres a flash of light in front of her.This happened twice in the episode and i want to ask if this was shown for a reason to point out something that will be revealed in the future.Why are her eyes so sensitive?(if there is a reason)

Matthew writes...

Just saw Homefront. Like every other episode of YJ, it was great. I was glad to see a story focusing on Robin and Artemis. I've always had a preference for non-powered heros: Batman, Green Arrow, et cetera. Fighting crime always seemed less heroic when bullets bounced off you. I was also glad to see Barbara Gordon. For some reason, I never considered whether she was in the YJ universe, so it was a pleasant surprise to see that she was.
The final part of the episode was a real shocker or at least it would've been if I hadn't been spoiled on the internet about Red Tornado. Except, I remember the final episode of Spectacular Spiderman, so maybe things aren't as they see?

3) How many would you want the show to have?

That's all, thank you.

In the Young Justice episode "Terrors," Brick mentioned that the biggest joke in Belle Reve "ain't the Joker." When everyone started laughing, I thought I heard Mark Hamill (the voice of Joker in Batman: The Animated Series) laughing with them. I have a few questions about that.

1. Was that Mark Hamill laughing?
2. Was the Joker in Belle Reve?
3. Is Mark Hamill involved in the series in any way?
4. Will the Joker appear in Young Justice at all?

Jo writes...

Hi, again! First, thank you for answering my previous questions! I know you must be stressed, but, like others have said, it's awesome that you take time to answer questions like this. :)

And, now questions.

1. As a writer, how much say do you have in how the story is told? I mean, I know you write the script (duh), but it's the director who ultimately decides how it's told. So, do you both consult heavily on the matter?

2. Do you sit in on recording sessions? If so, why?

3. Um, I think this ties in with both the previous questions, but, do you have much say in how an actor performs their lines? Because, you must have written it with a certain tone, inflection, and emotion in mind, but the actor might interpret it differently.

4. How long does it normally take you to write an episode?

5. Do you find it easier or harder to write characters that have been created before you came along, as opposed to your own characters.

6. As far as character development goes, how deep do you go? Like, do you consider things that probably won't be presented in the project, or do you stick to things directly relative to the story?

I think that's it...not that I can't come back and ask some more. Thanks so much!!

Hi Greg. For some reason every time I make a post to send to you it never seems to show up in the unanswered questions tab. Like I would create a post and send it to you, then, a few seconds later, I would check the unanswered questions tab and it wouldn't show up. I did send one post and the "Name" I used was Kat or Kit and that got sent, but when I tried to make another and send it, it wasn't marked in the unanswered questions tab. (and I did follow all the rules on asking a question) By the way I've been sending all of my posts on my iPod but I don't think the iPod is glitched or anything because I'm still able to send emails and other stuff like that, so I dont know what is wrong. Please help if you receive this. Oh and I have one question that i would desperatly want you to answer please.. if you ever get this message anyway.
1. Do you ever receive hand-written mail that's written by fans of young justice (that may include drawings or other things) that is sent directly to you or where you work? If so, I would like to send you a letter and enclose a few drawings of mine that I created. I would really like you, and the rest of the young justice crew to see it, or at least somebody to recognize my artistry.
Besides you and Brandon V. have inspired me to draw these charactors, although I have been drawing for years, I'm only a freshman in high school. Thank you for time and I'm sorry about your dog, and if you can answer my question, it would make my day, and if not, at least I tried.

Hello, just before I start I wanted to say- big fan of Young Justice. All the episodes are awesome.

1. So Aqualad's name is Kaldur'ahm, is that just like a one name thing or does he have a last name?
2. Zatanna is going to be in "Humanity" who will she be voiced by?
3. Since Roy hasen't appeared in any of the issues yet, are you planning in featuring him in one?
4. Also a friend asked, since most of the episodes are ready to air, why hasen't there been a preview like the past episodes.
5. Lastly, what can fans of Young Justice expect to see in future episodes.

The Batfan writes...

Hi, Greg! I'm really liking Young Justice so far - it's one of the best-animated and possibly the best-written adaptation of DC Comics material in television. I am eagerly awaiting episode 12!

If you'll indulge my curiosity, I have a few questions about little details in the show:

1. I Sensei is really the father of Ra's al Ghul (as the Young Justice Wiki claims has been revealed in the comics, to which I unfortunately have no access), then is he also centuries old, and, if so, does he use the same "method" Ra's does of prolonging his lifespan? Also, does he know that his son is a member of the Light?

2. In "Independence Day," Mr. Freeze fights the Dynamic Duo with a large "ice gun" of sorts; similarly, Captain Cold uses a ice pistol against the Dashing Dyad in the same episode. However, in "Terrors," both villains - along with Icicle Sr., who, as far as I'm aware, also uses technology to create cold - are able to generate cold without equipment. How exactly is this achieved (and does it have something to do with the "parts" Dr. Strange helped them smuggle in?)

3. For that matter, when taken to Waller, Mr. Freeze didn't seem to have overridden his collar's function, since it still zapped him; how, then was he still able to generate cold in order to beat back the guard and break it?

Thanks so much, and looking forward to more Young Justice!

Paul writes...

When you were choosing the members of the Team for Young Justice, were you at any point tempted to use Raven, Cyborg, Starfire or Beast Boy? If so, did you decide not to have them be founding members of the Team because they had already been given their chance to shine in the Teen Titans animated series?

What kind of species is miss martian?

Tim writes...

Hey Greg, this isn't as much a question as much as it is a compliment and an analysis. Can I just say you've done an excellent job with the mystery of the team's mole? I literally don't know which one it is, you've done an excellent job making it possible to be anyone of them.

Robin: Robin's safe in my opinion

Kid Flash: Same as Robin, can't picture it being him.

Aqualad: He is Black Manta's son, and has told Robin that he will have to lead the team one day. Perhaps he knows he'll be leaving the team? He's an original character so this one is the toughest to read.

Artemis: Too obvious in my opinion, and I kn0w you're a better writer than to actually make it the Red Herring.

Superboy:He is a clone and may have some dormant programming even he doesn't know about. Though not stated in the show, he has Luthor DNA in the comics.

Miss Martian: The strongest possibility, which makes me sad because I love M'Gann. Not only is she a white martian in the comics, but she alluded to the persecution of white martians in Targets. Plus she's the least likely suspect and would really have an emotional impact on Conner. This would have many similarities to the Hawkgirl storyline on Justice League though, and I'm not sure you'd want such a strong parallel to a previous DC Animated series.

And now the recently released episode descriptions say Captain Marvel will take over as den mother due to the team suspecting Red Tornado. But I wouldn't be surprised if it ends up being Marvel rather than Tornado, as it would be akin to Kingdom Come where Luthor controlled him with the assistance of Mr. Mind.

It's such a great mystery and I can't stop guessing. Every time I think I figured it out something happens to make me change my mind. Can't wait to see how it's resolved!

Will the orginal members of the injustice legue be featured or will you mix it up?

JSA Fan writes...

Greg, as a long-time DC comics and animation fan, I've always enjoyed the
legacy aspect of the characters.
I liked the Teen Titans and Infinity, Inc. characters and their connections to the older characters. With a grandfather who served in the Pacific in the Second World War, I particularly gravitated to the All-Star Squadron and JSA characters and books as a child.

Do you have a favorite JSA character from the older books and from the more recent
ones? Any chance of additional significant JSA appearances, like Kent Nelson, or at least cameos, like Jay Garrick? Or possibly some occasional references?

Also, most League members have, or will have an equivalent sidekick(s), potential successor, or someone that they could train individually. Most are obvious. I am going under the assumption that there is or will be a Marvel Family, and that Hal and John could help train Corps recruits. Canary and Tornado have their roles with the team; but do they, the Hawks, and Captain Atom have their own individual sidekicks/trainees outside of the League?

Thanks for an amazing job, Greg. You and your crew have pulled me in from the first episode, with great stories, new interpretations of characters and characters that have never or rarely been animated (like Mr. Lucas Carr). Keep up the great work!

Hi Greg,

Absolutely love Young Justice! Thanks for the updates on how each of the 46 episodes are progressing. My question is: After you are finished the 46th episode, how long will it be before you know if more episodes will be ordered? My one disappointment with the JLU show was that they didn't create more episodes. I hope you guys get a shot at 100 episodes in order to explore all the great characters the DC Universe has to offer. Keep up the great work guys!!!!

TwEaKz writes...

Hey Greg,
I've been meaning to write you about how some people act towards Young Justice. Then I thought to myself, it's really not worth it. So I'm not going to post a huge thing about it. I'm just going to write a little something instead. I find it somewhat annoying how outraged some people get over things that I feel shouldn't even be a problem. For instance, "Hello, Megan!". Heh. That seems to drive some people MAD. Really? That's what makes you nuts about the show and the character? I think it's adorable and I feel it fits Miss Martian perfectly. But, hey, to each their own.

I'm not saying they don't have a right to voice their opinion but come on. I just think some people really need to relax, take the whole show in and let things unfold the way they are meant to. Another thing that people get worked up about is how Superman treats Superboy. Yeahhh... I'm not even going to touch that one. When I see some of the questions and comments that come your way, I just have to laugh it off and say hmm this person must be young. Now I'm NOT saying that all young kids are simple minded or anything and I'm not trying to put down anyone. It's just that some of these complaints come across a little out there to me and they're not seeing the overall big picture.

What I like about you, though, Greg, is you don't let anyone change or dictate your show in any way. You guys love what you do and you put in what you feel works and that's how you keep it. I applaud that one hundred percent. So, yeah, that's all I'm going to say on this matter and now I'm going to try to end this post with a little something more positive.

Greg, I'm 31 and I absolutely love Young Justice. It brings me such joy. I've been a huge fan of your work ever since Gargoyles and I will continue to be a fan for life. For me, YJ keeps getting better and better with each new episode. I also enjoy the comic tie-in immensely. I feel it really expands the universe you guys have created. The latest episode "Terrors" was fantastic. It was very surprising as well. Did not expect that ending with Superboy and Miss Martian. Not this soon at least. But I loved it.

One last thing I would like to mention is that I even got my Father involved with the show. He's 72 years old and he really enjoys all things superheroes. He grew up with the Golden Age of comics and he just has a real passion for the genre. Now the main reason why I told him he should watch this show? Captain Marvel. He's been a life long fan of Captain Marvel and the rest of the Marvel family. He even has a room that is filled with lots and lots of Captain Marvel related memorabilia. It's definitely a sight to see.

When I first heard about YJ, I told my Dad that hey, you really need to catch this show when it premieres. I said to him that I heard Captain Marvel is going to have some kind of role on there. Needless to say, he was VERY excited. Heh. Even though, Captain Marvel has yet to make any real appearance on the show, he's been hooked since the first episode. He loves the animation, enjoys all the stories that are being told. Totally intrigued by "The Light" and where all this could possibly go.

The moral of my post here? Don't let any negativity bring you down. I see you get frustrated sometimes and hey I don't blame you. Just know that there are plenty of people out there of all ages that love the show and is constantly looking forward to the next episode and issue :)

Take care, man.

Dear Mr. Weisman,

I just have a few questions regarding Mars in Young Justice.

1.) What is the average lifespan of a Martian?
2a.) Is there any form of diplomatic representation between Earth and Mars?
2b.) If so, do the actions of the Martian Manhunter cause any problems?

Now for some questions not revolving around Mars.
3.) Are there other superhero groups active in the Earth-16?
4.) Following the Infinite Crisis and 52 crossovers, Earth-1 featured the Freedom of Power treaty, barring the intervention of foreign metahumans in the signatory nations. Does there exist something similar in Young Justice that factored into the decision to form "The Team" or did it have more to do with concerns about public reaction towards the Justice League engaging in these kinds of missions?

Thank you for your time and consideration.

First of all let me express how happy I am that the show is back. Young Justice has been my favorite since the day it aired. It's awesome.

I am asuming that when this question is answered Humanity will already have aired so this won't be a spoiler anymore(or a question and in that case sorry for taking your time) so, how old is Zatanna in Earth-156?

Alex Y. writes...

Hi Greg,

I'd like to start off by saying I am a huge fan of your work, especially Gargoyles, and I have lately gotten into Young Justice thanks to my four year old(soon to be five) nephew asking to watch it one day while going through the cartoons OnDemand. I was pleasantly surprised to see your name, and definitely was not surprised by the quality of the writing. I really like this show, even though I've always been more of a Marvel girl(with the exception of Batman, who imo is the most awesome super-hero hands down, because instead of powers, he has those awesome toys)

Anyways, on the most recent episode of Young Justice, Miss Martian and Superboy go under-cover into the prison to find out what the Ice villians who were captured in the pilot were up to. There was one thing that left my scratching my head- how did they change Superboy's appearance? That was never really explained.

Todd DuBois writes...

Hello Mr. Weisman. Greatly enjoying the Young Justice show, thanks for your efforts on that and the time you take answering folks' questions.

1. In "Targets", were Cheshire or Sportsmaster ever briefed on the scheme or were the assassination attempts completely serious the entire time?
2. In "Terrors" was Superman able to hear Superboy's "...that's more quality time than he's ever given me" line via his super hearing, or was he too far away?
3. For how long was Amanda Waller the warden of Belle Reve? What was her job before holding that position?
4. From whom did Black Canary learn martial arts in the Young Justice/Earth-16 universe?

Dear Greg,
Before I start asking questions, let me just say: big fan. Anyway...
1) We know the designations of Batman, Green Arrow, Red Tornado, Flash, Aquaman, and Martian Manhunter. Mind telling us everyone else's numbers?
2) I'm curious about your choices for the members of the Justice League. For example, why John Stewart and Hawkwoman? Is it to reference the Justice League animated series? Is there any character you put on the League simply because you were a fan?
3) How far along were you in production before the DC reboot was announced to you? And do you plan on having the reboot influence YJ season 2? (for example, new costumes?)
4) Were there any characters you really wanted to add to the series but couldn't besides Wonder Girl? And were there any you couldn't add for reasons other than legal issues (ex: Zsasz for being too violent, the Endless because Neil Gaiman doesn't like other people using them, Batwoman because she's a lesbian)?
5) Are Black Canary and Green Arrow dating, despite the age difference?
6) Finally, I know you said that if you added a gay character, you would have to be subtle and very sneaky. So, is any already introduced character gay?

Hi,Greg.
Okay, first of all I just want to say that I am a huge fan of Young Justice. My favorite episode so far would have to be "Terrors". I laughed so hard at Jr. saying, "Dude, that's your sister!".
Anyway, I have a couple questions to ask.
1. What happened to Icicle Jr. after Terrors? I mean, I know that he was put back in jail, but, what happened between him and the other prisoners?
2. Okay, please don't laugh at this question, even though it sounds stupid and possibly like I'm mocking you, because I'm not. Anyway, Does Superboy like pie? I ask this because Superman seems to like pie and... okay, next question!
3. This is another terrors question, what happened to the real Terror Twins after they were arrested?
4. As I was typing this, I realized that spell check recognized Superman as a real word, but not Superboy. Would Conner be mad at this fact?
Thank you for taking the time to answer my questions. Bye!

Dan writes...

Hi Greg! Just wanted to say that I really adored both Target and Terrors. The missions they're being put on really promote an international strike force feeling. I wasn't expecting that when Young Justice started, but I can see that Batman's quote in the beginning about them operating in a very low-profile manner wasn't an exaggeration, and I can't think of any other work quite like it.

For whatever reason, I'm also ADORING the News Report openers. You don't see much of that in other hero shows, and it really stresses the idea that their actions have fallout to others, that they're extraordinary to everyone else (which got a little diminished in Justice League for example, where you only focused on the powered people), and that there's just more going on in the world than these characters. Can't wait for more!

1) Could you give us a hint of whom is voicing the Joker, is it some who has voiced him before or someone from Gargoyles/Spider-Man?

4) How did Ivo end up in Belle Reve?
5) Can you tell us who else was in Belle Reve that we did not see?
6) Who was the pony-tailed tattooed lady helping Killer Frost brake the Belle Reve wall?
7) Was Icicle, Sr.'s plan meant to fail, or was he actually expecting to escape?
8) Why wasn't the Riddler at Arkham Asylun if Freeze was?

Hi!!! First off, I'm a HUGE fan of Young Justice, and I was just hoping you could answer some questions.
1. Are Superboy's powers every going to develop fully? Or at least, if not completely, will he at least gain some new powers or has he basically stopped developing?
2. Is Superboy going to grow at a normal rate from now on??
3. Are the teens' pasts and parents ever going to be explained?
4. In Targets, we learned that M'gann is a Green Martian, and that White Martians are a minority. Is this a lie (since it isn't canon) or is this just the way things are in the Earth-16 DCverse?

In "Terrors" M'gann had her telepathic ability and yet she didn't pull information out of the villains' heads. Was that due to limitations on her part? Or a plot hole?

Hello, Greg

1. In “Drop Zone”, while Kid Flash was examining the Kobra Venom properties, he notes that it is three times stronger than the Blockbuster formula, and permanent. Man, was I surprised when I saw Desmond in “Terrors” still in his mutated form. I am guessing the Blockbuster formula is permanent, too, right? If so, what was the point of differentiating the Kobra Venom from Blockbuster on the grounds of one being permanent and the other not being permanent?

2. In “Independence Day”, when Aquaman tried to calm Roy down, Roy angrily talked back to him, and made sure to tell him he was not his son. Roy then turned to Green Arrow and said, “I’m not even his.” Roy is adopted in this universe, correct? Why did he have to bring that up to Green Arrow? What was the point?

3. Is Superboy’s birthday Independence day?

Hey Greg.
Earlier today, Cartoon Network released a synopsis for the episode entitled "Humanity" saying something about the team suspecting Red Tornado as being the mole.

Love the newest episode of YJ! I like having Amanda Waller in there, she tends to make episodes fun. And I'm gonna enjoy playing guess who with all the convicts. Storywise, really enjoyed Icicle Jr., he's a fun guy. And I liked how you mess with people's expectations by making Connor & Megan's first kiss be when they're disguised as siblings. Kinda kinky, but nicely done. Look forward to the next episode!

So pretty much everybody's secret identity is a bit of a loose concept physical-wise for most characters, but what about Superboy? As Conner Kent, he's more obvious than Clark Kent. He changes his clothes and keeps his powers low-scale but everything else stays the same. He's on a covert team, but surely he'd get some exposure to the media, too? So I guess my question is: what was the reason for Conner Kent's civilian appearance?

Greetings Greg,
I was wondering if I could ask some questions about Blockbuster from "young justice"...

1) How strong/invulnerable is he? Could he fight Superman or Wonder Woman one on one or is he much lower on the power house chart?

2) If Blockbuster was reduced to a mindless, hate filled beast at the end of the series premiere, how come he followed orders from Icicle Senior in the episode "Terrors?" I just assumed a crazed monster like him wouldn't be able to understand/follow commands and would have to be kept in solitary away from other inmates (so he wouldn't eat them XD).

I like how M'gann hasn't mastered all her martian powers yet since it gives her potential for character development, but, I've noticed that she and Martian Manhunter may lack some of the powers they had in the comics altogether. To get to the point I guess, do Martians in DC universe 16 still possess super strength, heat/laser vision, and invulnerability like Kryptonians? I personally always liked how the martians were one of the few races who could realistically match a kryptonian blow for blow and possibly win (though of course heat/fire was always an issue).

At any rate, if you did indeed remove or alter some of the martian's skill sets, may I ask why?

P.S. keep up the good work on the show, its been very entertaining so far and I actually enjoy some aspects of it better than I do in the comicbook versions :D

Hi, Greg! First off, I want to say I've been a Gargoyles fan from way back. I even remember watching the premiere all those years ago. But my questions are about your latest work, Young Justice.

1) Whatever happened to Superboy's solar suit? I know it got damaged after the collapse of Cadmus Labs, but surely that was repairable.

2) How come Edmund Nigma was kept in Bella Reve instead of Arkham like the rest of Batman's villains?

Hey Greg.

Really enjoyed "Terrors" last night, specifically following up on the ice villains from episode 1. I'm eagerly awaiting to see the rest of season 1 play out.

Anyways, the one question I do have about "Terrors" is one of the last scenes from the episode. Icicle Jr. recognizes Miss Martian, and seems to infer who "Tommy" really is. How did he guess he was Superboy from only seeing him kiss M'gann? Is it simply because they're both young heroes, or does he know about The Team itself, and if so, how?

Thanks.

Terrors
And "Young Justice" returns in a big way with what has become a staple of Greg Weisman shows, the prison episode. Okay, I know a lot of shows utilize this, but Weisman really, really loves this trope. "Leader of the Pack" and "Turf." "J Is For Jewel." "Group Therapy" and "Opening Night." All good stuff. Great stuff

Batman sends Superboy and Miss Martian undercover as the Terror Twins inside Belle Reve Penitentiary to find out why all the ice villains from the pilot are there. Well, Icicle Jr and Mr. Freeze both demanded their lawyers transfer them there from, well, easier places to be incarcerated. As the episode ends, Superboy and Megan finally kiss (AND IT DIDN'T TAKE THEM THIRTEEN OR SIXTY-FIVE EPISODES!) as we discover the whole escape attempt was a ruse to have Amanda Waller removed as warden, and for the Light's own agent, Dr. Hugo Strange to take her place.

I enjoyed this episode quite a bit. I still don't know jack about DC Comics, but I enjoyed both Icicles. I kept on wondering who Icicle Sr was voiced by, it kept nagging at me... and, OF COURSE! James Remar! I could have sworn Icicle Jr was voiced by James Arnold Taylor, maybe because I was getting a Harry Osborn vibe from him at times... son trying, in vain, to please his sociopathic father. Guess Junior there doesn't take the Code of Icicle seriously. *ducks as tomatoes are thrown* I could not resist.

I do admit, I am curious as to why Superboy was chosen for this mission. He was well programmed, don't get me wrong. But he was also practically born yesterday and found in a Cadmus lab. That doesn't seem to be ideal to me. But looking through the rest of The Team's male line up, I can't think of anyone else that would fit.

Miss Martian was far less grating in this episode. Don't get me wrong, I am not one of the Miss Martian haters, but she is my least favorite member of The Team. But it was nice to have less of her 50's sitcom attitude here, and I admit that I enjoyed Superboy calling her on it in their therapy session with Dr. Strange. I'm not saying it's bad. In fact, I am sure there will be significant pay-off for it. I'm just saying it's not my favorite aspect of the show.

Now, if I may, I need to address some comments I have seen where people say they don't believe that these two characters can possibly be truly in love, and are dismissing it all as poorly thought out. I think they are missing the point. These are teenage hormones. The connection there is that they both think the other one is hot. It's like Romeo and Juliet. They are young, they dig each other, and they might think they're in love. But it is all hormones mixed with a not fully matured psyche. Right now this might be the most important thing in the world, just as Romeo and Juliet did, but Romeo and Juliet also died young. Had they lived long enough to mature, they might have seen their tryst and secret marriage as a mistake. Assuming Superboy and Miss Martian survive, I don't see them as a couple, let's say, five years down the line. It's a huge teenage crush, and those tend to be pretty consuming. But that's my analysis and it wouldn't be the first time I was wrong.

Finally, I loved the Riddler's cameo. All the crap he got, all the disrespect, and he was the one who managed to escape. Hope to see him again down the line, but knowing how Weisman loves to lay pipe and plant seeds, I am confident we will.

Great episode.

In "Denial", is the psychic's name "Madame" Xanadu or "Madam" Xanadu? The episode itself shows her name as "Madam", but you and the credits list her as "Madame".

1) Why were Ojo and Hook allowed to keep their tech implants at Belle Reve when they could have been removed?

2) For that matter, Icicle I's plan seems needlessly complicated and drew undue attention from the Justice League, why did he specifically need his son, Killer Frost, Cold, Freeze for the jail break when all he needed were destructive tech weapons that could be smuggled into the prison?

Does the show take place in 2011? The photograph of Dick in the trophy display in "Schooled" shows the year 2011 on it.

Harlan Phoenix writes...

If you can answer without spoiling (if you can't, I can always ask later), what was it about "Terrors" that you felt a personal affinity for and made you want to write it personally?

Jokerfish writes...

So I just finished watching Terrors and may I say; well done sir, well done. I loved all of it; from the awkwardly long kiss to Icicle Jr. (who I'm guessing doesn't have a lot of friends- because surely that habit of hitting on his friend's sister would have been knocked out of him by now if he did.)

So I'd like to ask you important, insightful questions but that's not my style so sit back for pointless tedium.

1. In the episode, after the news report of Martian Manhunter’s (I'm sure stunning) defeat of Headmaster, Freeze said that they now knew what all the leagues were doing except Red Tornado. What were the other members up to? Or is this a case where you knew story-wise they were all busy but you have better things to do then spend your day slaving over the particulars?

2. Was Superboy's disguise for this mission a dye job and a hair cut?

3. If the answer to 2 was yes, is being poor at disguises hereditary? Because that's a trait I'd slap onto Superman too.

Okay now for something a little more obscure...

I don't know why but I've fallen in love with prison guard Wilcox; to the point that I've given him a fictitious first name (Fitzwilliam) and a vague background (he grew up tough until he hit puberty, then… he grew up tougher) so...

4. Is Wilcox a dc character that's making a cameo in this episode or is he just a random character you created to fill a role? I tried to google this on my own but the only two Wilcoxs I would find was Laureen Wilcox and William Wilcox- Laureen is defiantly a woman and William has less of a back story than the one I've given Fitzwilliam Wilcox…

5. Who voiced Wilcox?

Hey Greg just wondering would it feel like to kiss a Martian? 2. If Martians are biogically 48 years old and they look close to 16 just what is the Martian age for being able to legally marry if they do that at all?

Matthew writes...

1. Does John Constantine exist in the YJ universe

I say this after looking through forty archive questions about King Constantine'a appearance on Gargoyles

2 Could you use him on the show?

I asked this because DC did not let them use Constantine on the old Justice League series. (Though a guy who looks like him appears in the background.) This was partially because at the time they wanted to keep Constantine in his own universe. They also did not want to encourage kids to pick up Hellblazer which is not appropriate for younger readers. Now, though, that Constantine's been brought back into the DC Universe; it might be possible for him to appear on YJ.

Hey Greg.
Up until this point, from what I can gather, you have stated the numbers of years of experience for the following heroes; Batman (9), Superman (10), Robin (4), Kid Flash (2), Aqualad (2), and Speedy/Red Arrow (3).
I was wondering if you could also reveal that information for the remaining 14 of the 16 members of the Justice League as well as Guardian?

Hi.

What YJ fansites/forums do you usually/regularly visit? I'm asking because you sometimes address fan theories and rumors, so I wonder where you read them.

spence writes...

FYI: The timestamps of "Drop-Zone" are fixed in the Volume One DVD release. Not sure about the reruns.

Question: Is the title supposed to be hyphenated? Because it is on-screen, but not on promotional material for the episode or on the back of the Volume One DVD.

Do the members of the Light know the identity of each other? As of Targets, at least L-2 and L-3 are aware of each other. If so, they why did they confer together with their faces scrambled in Fireworks?

Doctor Fate writes...

After watching Denial, I had a question.

1. Kent Nelson states that he hadn't put on the helmet for 65 years, which would mean since 1946. During that time period, 1940-1951, you've stated that the Justice Society operated. From 1941-1945 the JSA expanded to become the All-Star Squadron. So does that mean once the All-Star Squadron returned back to the Justice Society, Kent Nelson retired from being Doctor Fate? Or did he stay on a little while after?

2. At what age did Kent become Doctor Fate?

Thanks.

The Light writes...

Just a couple quick questions-

1. Was Alan Scott a member of the Justice Society?

2. Was Rose Psychic a member of the JSA?

3. Was Docotr Occult a member of the JSA?

4. And was the Crimson Avenger a member of the JSA?

5. What happened to the Crimson Avenger?

Thanks.

Hey Greg, I'm so glad we're finally getting more Young Justice episodes. I only have one tiny bit of constructive criticism that dovetails into a question. Conner Kent is one of my favorite comic characters, and I love how you've been slowly developing him as he tries to find his purpose. However, he kind of comes of sort of angsty and the teams muscle. In the comics, I'll fully admit Conner became kind of angsty after it was revealed half his DNA came from Luthor, but it has yet to be seen if that is the case on the show. In his early comic appearances, Conner was more fun loving and loved being a hero. I guess I'm trying to say that while I understand Conner's sort of on an emotional journey, it's rather unsettling to see him with such a bleak outlook. Can we expect Superboy to become more mirthful and lose his depressing attitude?

no.1 batfan writes...

I probably should have included this with my last question, but I didn't think of it until now. Anyway, do you know if there are plans to release compilations that would amount to consisting of all of the issues of the Young Justice tie-in comic when it ends?

In Young Justice #8, was Artemis' mother crying over the fact that she thought Artemis felt she needed to hide her history and background?
