Hi Mr. Weisman.
I know that part 1 of the first season of Young Justice is out on DVD, but my question is: Will the whole Season 1 be released in a box set after the season is finished airing?
Thanks for an amazing show so far, and I'm glad to finally see it back on the air.

Greg responds...

I don't know.

What sparked Superboy's 'Superman hates me' in episode 11? Did Superman give a behind-the-scenes 'no I don't want them on this mission' for whatever reason and Superboy took it as a rejection?

Greg responds...

I really don't know what you're talking about.

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?

Greg responds...

Superboy has so far avoided ALL media exposure.

In Terrors why was Riddler in a prison for super powered criminals when he has no super powers?

Greg responds...

Many of the prisoners there, not just Riddler, had no inherent super-normal abilities. Ivo, for example. Or Hook. But it was felt that these people had - if nothing else - super-human resources in one way or another that put them beyond the ability of a standard prison to safely contain them.

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).

Greg responds...

1. He could fight either one on one. Though Superman's combination of powers would make it very tough for Blockbuster to win. I'd say he'd have a better shot against Wonder Woman. Even odds.

2. He got better with time.

Hi Greg,
Usually I ask questions about gargoyles, but I've been getting deep into "Young Justice" recently and would like to ask some questions about Miss Martian, and martians in general I guess, lol. 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

Greg responds...

In the "Earth-16 Universe":

Martians are stronger than humans, but not even in the ballpark with Kryptonians. Martian Manhunter, for obvious reasons, is stronger than Miss Martian. Density plays a role here too.

Martians are not invulnerable, though their shape-shifting abilities make healing easier, and, again, they are denser than humans - though, again, not nearly as dense as a Kryptonian.

No vision powers.

As to the why, it was about us deciding to go back to the character's original power levels. When J'onn was first introduced, he was unique. As time passed, writers, artists and editors kept augmenting his powers (and even his origin) making him more and more Kryptonian. But I've got a Kryptonian (plus a clone) in the series already. I really didn't need two more.

Plus Martian powers are already incredibly formidable. We decided early on to break them down into two basic categories:

1. The physical. They are shape-shifters, which allows them to change form, alter their volume and density (though never their mass), etc. With practice, this becomes an incredibly versatile and potent trait.

2. The mental. They are psychic and telekinetic. This allows them to control their shape-shifting clothes (and even M'gann's shape-shifting Bio-Ship). It also allows them to communicate psychically. And their telekinesis, which is very formidable, allows them to simulate Superman's flight.

Really, with all that, did they really need the ability to go "blow for blow" with a Kryptonian?

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?

Greg responds...

1. Surely it was. But I don't think he wanted to repair it.

2. Arkham is not a prison for criminals. It is an asylum for the criminally INSANE. Villains don't go there because their primary opponent is Batman. (The method of their defeat has nothing to do with where they are sent.) Villains go there if (a) they were arrested in Gotham City and (b) they are found (as a legal matter) to be CRIMINALLY INSANE. Clearly, Nigma did not meet one or both of those two conditions.

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.

Greg responds...

He doesn't know who Tommy is specifically. He simply figures out that Tommy is one of the good guys and that he's been conned.

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.

1. She changed it. Or Phil Bourassa did. The comic book version got the rough from Phil. Concept art. Later, Jay Oliva wanted a more Gwen Stefani look, in part to differentiate Tuppence more from Shimmer.

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?

Greg responds...

1. LOL. Didn't you notice the "boot" over Ojo's eye? Compare his appearance in episode 6 with his appearance in 11, and it's hard to miss. Ojo was allowed to keep his tech to allow him to see. But it was booted to prevent him from using it as a weapon. Hook did NOT have his hook again until after the prison break began.

2. Presumably, he needed experts in the art of coldness.

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

Greg responds...

No. That photograph, or rather the date on it was a mistake. As with the wikipedia-style bio of Red Tornado, someone was attempting to be helpful and put that in without running it by myself or Brandon. By the time we saw it, there was no way to remove it economically.

We intentionally have NOT put a year on the present day events on the show. There is NO CANON YEAR, as far as I'm concerned.

But the days of the week are based on the 2010 calendar. And in my timeline, now a whopping 185 pages, for purposes of math - relative to events in the past - we're set in 2010.

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?

1. I like prison episodes.

2. I really wanted to do the "Dude, that's your sister!" scene.

3. Originally, there was a subplot in the episode that I had a personal affinity for. But we had to cut it for time. So it'll wind up appearing in issues #14 & 15 of our companion comic book.

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?

Greg responds...

1. Uh... the latter, for the most part. Although, I think they all made a point of being seen to encourage the Belle Reve prisoners to proceed with whatever plan they might have.

2. Yep.

3. If you say so. But it worked fairly well, since the Terror Twins were not well known.

4. Wilcox was named for our line producer David Wilcox.

5. James Remar.

He's in 9th grade. A freshman in a six-year-school, the Gotham Academy, which goes from 7th-12th grades. Artemis, by the way, is at the same school. She's a sophomore, but she's new. So although she's in a grade above Dick, he's starting his third year there, she's starting her first year there.

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?

Greg responds...

1. Depends on his or her form, I would think.

2. If you're talking about Miss Martian, you've got it wrong. She's CHRONOLOGICALLY 48 Earth years old and BIOLOGICALLY the equivalent of an adolescent, the approximate equivalent of an Earth girl of 16. She can LOOK however she feels like within the parameters of mass and her shape-shifting abilities. As for the legal age of consent on Mars, I'm going to say 54 Earth years, just to keep myself out of trouble.

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?

Greg responds...

I guess I could. But I'm too lazy. At least at this moment.

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.

Greg responds...

It is supposed to be hyphenated. Generally, "canon" is what's actually ON the episode, not promotional materials.

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?

Greg responds...

As of Targets, you didn't know who L-2 and L-3 were - though I assume by now, you have confirmation. Of course, I'm sure at the time, you made an educated guess - based on voice actors and other factors - but the conversation that Lex and Ra's shared hardly guaranteed that they were in the top seven. There are many characters who talk about and/or do some work for the Light, who are not.

But, yes, the members of the Light know who they are. But they're very security conscious.

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.

Greg responds...

1. Kent gave up wearing the actual Helmet of Fate, fashioning a half-helmet that does not submerge his personality. Using magic studied and gleaned by osmosis during his years as a tool of Fate, he still pretends for a time to maintain the Doctor Fate identity but is significantly less powerful.

2. 36.

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?

Greg responds...

You can expect him to be true to the character that we've developed for THIS series.

I don't know how else to put it. The out-of-the-gate personality of the Superboy from the comics didn't make sense to us given the origin we were giving him in our show. That's not a value judgement; it simply reflects two different approaches to the character. We tried to be true to the core of the character as we saw it. You may not feel we've done justice to him, but we feel pretty good about it.

As the series progresses, he'll grow and develop, and hopefully you'll enjoy how that progresses... here on Earth-16.

lambert writes...

as of this writing, the last episodes i've seen were "downtime" and "bereft". these were, in my opinion, the best episodes of the series yet. and i think for it was because there appeared to be less of an emphasis on the characters being teenagers. they were just young superheroes learning to work by themselves or with a much larger group of people. i'll be 34 next month, and i suppose i just don't care about seeing a teenager's POV on anything. i think this is why i gravitate more towards red arrow and aqualad as they seem to be the most mature of the bunch. anyway, keep up the good work. i'm loving the show more and more. and the comic as well. will there be a point where the timelines from both the show and comic catch up?

That's not a priority for me. I'm more interested in telling the stories that interest me, whenever they're set.

I'm not sure if you've noticed, but we've resisted the temptation with ALL our characters to put them at the upper end of the scale of how some creators have depicted their powers. It's more interesting to us - even for the adult heroes - if they aren't quite so invincible.

Not trying to nitpick, but you once answered that the speed force does not exist on earth 16. In the DC universe the speed force has been known to bring speedsters through alternate dimensions. the speed force exists on all alternate earths. How is Earth-16 exempt? where does the flash draw his speed from?

Greg responds...

I guess I just don't understand the "Speed-Force" concept.

Where does Superboy "draw his strength from?" Where does Miss Martian "draw her shape-shifting ability from?" Why does Kid Flash or ANY Flash require some external source for speed - as opposed to giving credit to the lab accident that first turned Jay Garrick into the Golden Age Flash, the recreation of that accident under laboratory conditions that granted speed to the current Flash and the nearly-botched attempt to re-recreate the accident that gave Kid Flash his powers?

They're mutates. They were mutated by the experiments/accidents. What more do you need?

In any case, if the Speed-Force does exist, no one on Earth-16 has heard of it or knows anything about it.

Dear Mr. Weisman,

I've been a huge fan of yours for years and just wanted to thank you for supplying or helping to make 1/3 of the cartoons of my childhood. I'm currently following Young Justice and I love it! I do have one question that I couldn't find in the archives though.

I noticed in episode 10 what seemed to be some height inconsistencies with Red Arrow. Cheshire was said to be 5ft 6in tall. But when the two of them were having their stare down in prison, Roy only looked a bit taller than her. Meanwhile, he seemed to be a bit shorter than Lex Luthor as well. In my animation classes, my professor mentioned a tendency for teenage characters to be drawn slightly shorter than adults, to make them easier to distinguish. Is that what happened here, or was it just animation error/camera trick?

I know in a previous post you said that he was the tallest of the teens, with Aqualad in second, but I was hoping that you could tell me their actual heights (and the rest of The Team's), or at least your best guess.

Thank you for your time and good luck with the rest of the season.

Greg responds...

We have height charts for all our characters and those charts are sent overseas to our animators for reference. I won't deny that animation errors take place sometimes, but none that I noticed in 'Targets'.

I can't tell you their actual heights. We don't put that information on the charts. I can only tell you how tall they are relative to each other.

First let me say, I really enjoy the series!! I think the animation and the storytelling is outstanding!! I'd also like to say, i love all the members of the team!! I hope you don't change the members of the team, love them!! My questions are about Miss martian powers. What are the limit of her telekinesis? I was surprised in Bereft when she said, she can't use her telekinesis to lift Aqualad back to the ship.
I'm still wondering what happened between miss martian and superboy in downtime?? i mean,after she covered him in food and they were standing there staring at each other! His behavior has completely changed toward her. Did she use her telepathy abiilites to mind link with him to let him know how she feels about him???
I do like how you are developing their romance!! I think it would be very interesting to see how they deal with being heroes and also dealing with their feelings for each other. I hope they get together, they make a nice couple! I wasn't asking for a spoiler, just making a comment on their relationship.

Now the questions
1, What made the characters featured in this show(The Team)stand out to you; what made you decide to choose them?
2, How does everyone else in the Team perceive the growing feelings between Superboy and M'gann, most especially Wally because he continues his attempts (which I find hilarious)at flirting with M'gann?
3, How would you feel if one of your shows were to be made into live-action films? Have/Do you ever consider what real-life actors might portray your characters?
4, Do you already know how you want Young Justice to end, or is there no definite endgame planned? Do you normally have an endgame in mind for the shows you work on or do you like to let the story progress to see where it goes?

Greg responds...

1. ASKED AND ANSWERED. Please check the archives.

2. I think Wally is blissfully ignorant at this point. Keep watching.

3. It'd be pretty cool, at least in theory.

Jay, Michael and our guest directors were all great in Season One, but both Jay and Michael moved on, and the guest director thing made life a bit tough, constantly getting new folks up to speed. So we have a permanent set of three directors for Season Two - Tim Divar, Doug Murphy and Mel Zwyer - and Brandon and I are thrilled with how great all three are doing.

Now that DC comics have relaunched and the status quo has changed for important characters like Superman does it make it easier for YJ to be more creative and original ie not following the same routine path we always see DC take? Will YJ reflect any of the changes?

Greg responds...

Everything we've planned was planned and pretty much set in the deadline equivalent of stone before DC announced or informed us of their plans. So you won't see it reflected in our series. This is simply a fact of life due to our deadlines on YJ.

1) How important is it for the plot to keep the identity of the Light members a secret? And what lengths do you go to to enforce it? I mean, when you put a dome-shaped figure speaking with a thick French accent, you are just begging for it... :)

2) Is the mystery of their identities something conceived specifically for the less comic-savvy target demographics?

3) Is the anonymity of each member equally important as of the rest, or are some more important to the plot than others?

I must say that I quite enjoy this trope. It's quite exiting. But it's been only 10 episodes, and fans have figured out 6 out of 7 members of the group. (Personally I had guessed 5 -- good job with L-3. I didn't see it coming, somehow. Mark Rolston's cadence in "Targets" was different from "Fireworks," which totally blindsided me).

Greg responds...

1. We wanted to play fair and offer hints without being definitive - until episode 114.

2. Both, I guess.

3. Nope.

What is Bruce Wayne pubklic reputation on Earth 16 do most consider him a rich idiot with no day job, a serious business man or somewhere in between?

Greg responds...

He's a serious business man, who has a reputation for working hard AND playing hard. Not many think he's an idiot, but many would consider him a playboy, by the old school definition of the term.

How closely do you stick to the covert ops concept for each episode? I noticed that even when it's not a direct mission from Batman, there is still an element of going undercover.

We strive for that.

1.) What does GBS stand for?
2.) This question is in regard to your last update. What exactly are beatsheets? Also, are you going to also post updates for the comic from now on?

Greg responds...

1. Galaxy Broadcasting System.

2a. A beatsheet breaks an episode down by its basic beats, but in a very rough non-prose format, useful as an internal document only.

2b. Yes.

First, I wanted to thank you for all the hard work put forth on Young Justice. The show is an absolute delight to watch and this may sound silly -- but it is very meaningful to see passionate creators doing what they love. The experience of storytelling helps people cope with their lives and the stories on Young Justice are some of the best!

All that said, I'd love to see Young Justice go on as long as possible. I see that it's been renewed up to 46 episodes -- awesome! If there were further orders, would they continue to be in 10-episode increments? Is that a new standard as opposed to 13 or 26?

Thanks again to you and everyone working on YJ! Keep up the phenomenal work.

Greg responds...

I really don't know. It's a decision made way over my head.

2. Does the DCAU exist as part of the multiverse on Earth 12?

Greg responds...

1. I don't know who Chris Kent is... but I'm thinking your latter option sounds good.

2. Don't know. I only really have jurisdiction over Earth-16. Beyond that, you'll have to ask DC.

Hi Greg-- just a couple brief items. I wanted to comment that I think you and your team are doing an exceptional job with the Young Justice comic book which I don't think is getting the appreciation it deserves. It not only fills in a lot of character gaps that there is not time to get into on the show but it works around all of the plots/arcs of the show without spoiling or repeating them. The most amazing thing is if you only watch the show or only read the comic, neither experience is ruined as they both present themselves in a self-contained manner while also being a constant, evolving continuation. That is a fine balancing act that is not easy to pull off but as someone who both watches the show and reads the comic, the full experience of both really has brought this property to life and I am very glad it is going to be around for awhile. Without a solid DC show since Justice League ended and the Gargoyle property on hiatus, it is very exciting to have your working on a project that brings all of the elements that made Gargoyle's so special to the DC Universe. Thank you to you and your team for all the hard work-- please keep it up!!

Two quick questions:

1) Can you please get back in the habit of posting the credits for each episode after they air since it appears Cartoon Network is still going to split screen them into oblivion? I really enjoy seeing who does all of the voice work on the show.

2) Speaking of that, any possibility over the course of the this season and the next that Keith David will be tapped to play any kind of role on the show?

Greg responds...

THanks for the kind words about the comic. That's exactly what we're attempting to do with it.

1. I never got out of the habit. I've been posting credits as soon after a new episode airs as I can possibly find the time.

2. NO COMMENT.

Hey!
First of all, I LOVE YOUNG JUSTICE! I think that it is really great, and I'm so glad that new episodes are coming :)
I just have a few questions:

1) Is Hawkwoman supposed to be Hawkgirl? If so, why do you call her "Hawkwoman"?

2) If Wonder Girl were on come onto the show, would you use Donna Troy or Cassie?

3) I know on YouTube there are a lot of fanmade videos of Young Justice. Have you seen any? If you have, do you like them?

Thank you for your time and keep up the good work :)\

Laurel:)

Greg responds...

1. Hawkwoman is Hawkwoman. That's why we call her Hawkwoman. There is no Hawkgirl on Earth-16.

2. NO COMMENT.

3. I haven't.

Hello!

I love Young Justice very much, it is a wonderful show. I also liked Spectacular Spider-man, and I was sad when it got cancelled. My first question is: which show do or did you like working on the most: Gargoyles, Spectacular Spider-man, or Young Justice?

I like M'gann's "catchphrase", "Hello Megan!" and I don't understand why I see so many people write to you and tell you they hate it. I think it's cute. My second question is: What was the inspiration behind her catchphrase?

I loved the "Bereft" episode very much, and I noticed the Biyalyan language sounded very familiar to Arabic (I speak that language). My third question: Is it some other dialect of Arabic, since there are quite a few, or Eygptian or Jordanian?

My final question is another language one: What is Miss Martian's language? I know that Aqualad's is Ancient Greek, but I have checked many questions and can't find what Miss Martians's language is.

I am sorry if any of these questions have been answered before. Thank you for taking your time to do "Ask Greg"

Rowan

Greg responds...

1. Gargoyles is always my first love, but I've had a great time working on Spidey, YJ and WITCH.

2. NO COMMENT.

3. Bialyans speak Arabic, or perhaps a dialect of Arabic (if we got something slightly wrong, which I hope we didn't.)

4. Martian... or, in her language "M'arzz".

Hi, I find Young Justice a wonderful TV Series with such great characters and chemistry. I'm eagerly awaiting more new epsiodes. I just had a couple questions.

1. With Seaso 2 only having 20 episodes, has a season 3 been discussed at all?

2. Do you have an age for Paula Crock? Is so, how old is she?

3. How old is Sportsmaster?

4. Did you know iTunes still has the incorrect version of Drop Zone? Is there any chance this'll be fixed?

5. Are either Guy Gardner or Kyle Raynar Green Lanterns on Earth 16?

6. Do you have a list of the designations for the sixteen Justice League memebers that you could reveal? Like how Batman 02, and Red Tornado is 16. Can you reveal that?

Thanks.

Greg responds...

1. Not yet.

2. Haven't I answered this? Oh, well, 48.

3. I KNOW I've answered this. Please check the ASK GREG YOUNG JUSTICE ARCHIVES.

4. I didn't know. But if so, it's frustrating. Hopefully, if it hasn't been fixed already, it will get fixed very soon.

5. Guy is. NO COMMENT ON KYLE.

6. I have the list, but as ALREADY STATED, I'm choosing not to reveal it, because I think it's more fun for people to find out for themselves.

In the future, please check the archives BEFORE posting your questions.

Hi Greg, just watched Targets and congratulations on taking part in the making of a great show!

1. What do the other students at the school think about Megan and Connor? Do they think they're strange?

2. What is the school called?

3. Will you be showing more scenes within the school?

4. How did Aqualad get to Rhelasia so quickly?

5. How did Superboy know so much about Rhelasia?

6. How does the "stealth tech" work?

Thanks in advance!

Greg responds...

1. They think they're new kids. Opinions vary.

2. Happy Harbor High School.

3. Yes.

4. He didn't go to Rhelasia. The talks were ABOUT North and South Rhelasia, but they were being held in Taipei. And he got there by Zeta-Tube.

5. His G-Gnome education contained plenty of history and current events.

6. Quite well, I think.

In "Leader of the Pack", there was that ship, Otoshiana-maru, and "otoshiana" means "pitfall" or "trap" in Japanese. While watching Targets, I got a kick when Superboy was giving the history of Rhelasia and he talks about the Bokun Dynasty starting in 1855. I realized, "bokun" means "split" or "cleave" in Korean, the ultimate fate of Rhelasia. Do I get a no-prize? I love how you use serendipitous names.

Greg responds...

I'd love to take credit for both, but I can take credit for NEITHER. Michael Reaves, I believe, came up with Otoshiana. Andrew Robinson with Bokun.

I have a couple questions about the team's families. I'm trying to stick to background-y things, but I apologize if they get too spoilery.

1) How would Wally address the Garricks? Jay and Joan, Uncle Jay and Aunt Joan, Mr. Garrick and Mrs. Garrick, Moose and Squirrel...?

2) In the tie-in comic, Dick's narration is that his uncle can't take care of him, and that's why Bruce took him in. Can you elaborate on the specific nature of his uncle's injuries? Is he comatose, mostly paralyzed, something else?

3) The same issue reveals Dick's cousin was named John. In most continuities I'm familiar with, "John Grayson" is the name of Dick's father, and Dick's own middle name is John. Was this cousin named after Dick's father, or does Dick's father have a different name on Earth-16? Can you tell us the names of Dick's parents, aunt, and uncle?

4) How old is Alfred, and did he raise Bruce in Earth-16 continuity?

5) In the tie-in comic, Artemis's parents seemed to have had a once-affectionate, now-distant relationship. Her mother tells her father that he's 'out' if he doesn't change his lifestyle--is she planning to file for divorce, or are they just separating?

6) And... not really a family member to anyone but being their teacher totally counts here: does the Earth-16 Black Canary wear a wig, dye her hair, or is she just a natural blonde?

Thank you for your time, both working on the show and answering inane questions!

Greg responds...

1. I like "Moose and Squirrel" but no, I think Uncle Jay and Aunt Joan are probably more appropriate.

2. NO COMMENT.

3. Dick's father's name was John. His mother was Mary. And, yes, Cousin John was named after Dick's father. Dick's uncle is named Richard - Rick for short. (Dick was named for his own uncle, obviously - the two elder Grayson brothers were very close.) Dick's aunt was named Karla.

4. Alfred is 64. And he was present during Bruce's childhood, but one of his great regrets is that he refrained from parenting Bruce. At the time, he thought it wasn't his place and maintained the distance of a proper English Butler. Now, he believes he made a grave mistake. He's treated/treats Dick VERY differently. And he treats Bruce differently now too.

5. NO COMMENT.

6. A gentleman doesn't tell.
