Young Justice Fan writes...

Hey Greg -- big fan of Young Justice and especially the Season 2 time skip. I found that Season 2 has colored my view of Season 1. The Season 1 episodes seem more poignant -- almost tragic in hindsight, knowing where some of the characters end up. But seeing a character like Robin grow up is like watching a nephew get older. One second they're a toddler, and a few blinks later they're 18 -- time flies!

I'm also impressed by the fact that the early YJ episodes are actually better in the context of the entire series. I find that many serial shows negate their earlier episodes when mysteries are solved and long-running plotlines come to a head. Young Justice is definitely NOT one of those shows.

Anyway, I remember reading an interview in which you stated you had about 7 months of development time on Young Justice. Here's my question:

1) How much of the series (Season 1, 2 and more) was conceived during this phase (plotting, characterization, designwork) and how much came after you got the greenlight?

Thanks -- you and your crew rock!

Greg responds...

1. All the plotting of Season One and most of the basic ideas for Season Two came during this period. Design work for the main teens (Robin, Aqualad, Kid Flash, Superboy, Miss Martian, Artemis, Speedy/Red Arrow) and some adults (Red Tornado, Black Canary, Batman, Superman, Mister Twister, plus a few more) were done - though not final. General characterization also done.

Why were Mike Norton, Zac Atkinson, Franco Aureliani and Art Baltazar replaced after issue 6 or 7?

Greg responds...

Zac is still on the book, doing really great work, by the way.

Mike Norton left after issue four, I believe. I'm not sure why.

Art and Franco were ALWAYS scheduled to leave after issue six. They were helping us out until Kevin Hopps and I were able to take over.

Mr. Greg Weisman,

I'd like to say that as much as I respect the old DC cartoons shows (the ones which were collectively known as the DC Animated Universe), I feel that Young Justice has, thus far, done MUCH, MUCH better in many ways (which would be too much for me too list). I am enjoyed the fact this parallel DC Universe, better known as Earth-16, is similar to the mainstream DC universe, and yet, you are always finding numerous ways to create so many unique twists in the characters and the storylines. It makes it very exciting to watch. I'll let you know that, as I might have said in some postings, that I am continuously praying to God every night that Cartoon Network be very generous to you and renew Young Justice for future seasons. A show as good as Young Justice should never, EVER, end.

Thanks for taking the time to read about how I feel about Young Justice so far. As always, keep up the great work!

Greg responds...

Thanks for your kind words. I'd happily continue doing this series ad infinitum.

Why wasn't Wonder Woman part of the JSA?

Greg responds...

Who said she wasn't?

I said she wasn't a founder, which had more to do with timing than anything else.

4. 1940.

5. Effectiveness was not a problem, if you're talking about the super-power aspect. It was the ring's artificial intelligence and data base that was off-line.

Doctor What writes...

Sorry, one last question:
1. Throughout season one of Young Justice, the Light seemed to be behind almost every plot. Has anyone ever jokingly compared the Light to Zanatos?

Greg responds...

1. Not so jokingly.
