Hello Mr. Greg I'm a huge fan of Syoung justice and i'd like to ask a few questions
1. Did Zatara depart from the League once he became doctor fate?
2. If Superboy was found later by the team would his powers have further developed?
3. Does Black Manta even love his son?

Greg responds...

1. "Depart" is not the word I'd use, but officially he has been listed on leave, and Doctor Fate took his place.

2. No.

3. Watch and decide for yourself.

If, theoretically, you wanted a character in Young Justice to be gay and it made perfect sense in the context of the show, do you think you'd be able/allowed to actually put anything reflecting that in the show? Comics?

Greg responds...

ASKED AND ANSWERED.

Dear Mr. Weisman,

Thank you for all your hard work and dedication to what you do. I have to express extra gratitude for the "Dangerous Wounds" Gargoyle episode. That lesson stuck by me through my childhood and now as an adult. I'm glad I got to learn gun control from a cartoon and not from a real life experience. Unfortuneately a neighbor of mine was not so fortune. This happened years ago but I to this very day I wonder if every child/teen saw that episode maybe there would be less gun related accidents. Just want to say your message came across strong to at least some people.

I also got into Young Justice and I know there are messages of teamwork, responsibility, honesty, and bravery in the storyline. All are great values to instil to children and adults alike.

Besides these basic morals and values, is there an underlying message you want to get across to today's audience?

I wish you the best success hope Young Justice will be signed for many more seasons.

Regards.

Greg responds...

"Dangerous Wounds"? Did you mean "Deadly Force"?

As for underlying messages, I believe it's best to let the viewer take from the show what they take.

Was Aquaman raised by humans or Atlanteans on Earth 16? Why is he stronger than other Atlanteans?

Greg responds...

1. Mostly Atlanteans.

2. Good genes.

Sorry to ask another question, but I just wanted to say Artemis has come to be the breakout character of the show for me, and I guess I just had a question.

Obviously the writers took a lot of liberties with the character for the sake of fitting your adaptation (which I'm always a fan of seeing BTW!) and I've noticed that to a certain degree, bits of Artemis' backstory in the show resemble that of Cassandra Cain, who was the third Batgirl. Particularly making her parents members of the League of Shadows and having a white, blonde father and an Asian mother, and of course becoming a superhero to move away from her parents' lifestyle.

So I was just wondering, were some of these similarities intentional, or just a coincidence?

Either way, keep up the good work!

Greg responds...

Not intentional, as I'm just not that familiar with Cassandra Cain. But the similarities may be natural as opposed to coincidental.

If you had to put any of your young justice people in a Lantern corp......who would you put where?

Red; Rage
Orange; greed
Yellow; make fear
Green; Will
Blue; Hope
Indigo; Compassion
Violet; Love

Greg responds...

I'm not up on all this, I'm afraid. Sounds like an exercise that you can do to amuse yourself.

Hello Mr. Weisman,
Just one question, would you want to adapt your version of the Justice League into its own show?

Greg responds...

Love to. And why stop there? Let's do 16 solo shows for every one of our lead characters.

Plus the Lucas Carr solo show.

Basically, yes, I am a megalomaniac, but I truly to love this world and would love to explore it more.

I don't see anything about this in the asks today, so here it goes!

I noticed that Wally West's birthday was 11/11, which also happens to be Dick Grayson's original pre-crisis birthday in DC comics canon, before it was retconned during Infinite Crisis.

Was this on purpose or just a cute coincidence?

Thanks for a really, really fantastic and engaging show.

Greg responds...

Coincidence.

1. Who or what was the first menace the Justice League fought in Earth 16 when they first formed or caused them to form the group?
2. What were the circumstances that led to the Justice Society of America being brought into existence in Earth 16?
3. What city does Martian Manhunter live and fight crime in when he is on Earth?
4. Where did Monsieur Mallah get another red beret?

Greg responds...

1. This was described in episode 203.

2. I'd have to do some research and make some creative decisions before answering this.

3. Chicago.

4. Online.

1. Aside from Batman who else has lead the Justice League in Earth 16?
2. What is your opinion on the JSA and the golden age of comics?
3. Not to sound like a suck up but the ideas of having telepathic communication, the team going on missions instead of reacting to threats, and using old school villains like Sportsmaster, Icicle Sr. and Wotan are just incredible and using these in a modern setting makes the show in my humble opinion one of the best animated shows in the last 20 years.

Greg responds...

1. I don't really care to nail this down at this point.

2. Positive.

3. Thanks!

Hiya!

1. Are any of the team members (or even characters) in Young Justice vegetarian?
2. There's a rumor going around, at some point you mentioned out of the entire team, Artemis was supposed to be close with both Kaldur and Robin. Is this true or just made up?
3. We know Wally's birthday, can you give us the birthdays for the other team members if you have them?

Greg responds...

1. I haven't thought about it.

2. Sounds made up - or like an incomplete paraphrase.

3. ASKED AND ANSWERED.

Hey, since Artemis and Aqualad weren't in "Image", do you think there could something they have been doing in Young Justice #18, while Robin, Kid Flash, Miss Martian and Superboy were on the mission to stop Queen Bee?

Greg responds...

Do you mean in the comic book?

Because issue #18 takes place long before "Images" - in fact it takes place between "Alpha Male" and "Revelation".

Matt writes...

So, you've been working in writing and producing animated shows for a long time. Since the shows you work on are generally targeted to younger viewers, I was curious about the impact, if any, that your kids and being a parent to them has had on your work. How much an influence has your being a parent been to these shows? And have your kids in particular had any general or specific influences on anything you've worked on?

Just curious. Thanks.

Greg responds...

Well, I often throw in little things to amuse my kids. Like making them genomorphs in YJ. Or using their birthdays on timestamps. And I'm sure they influence me in a hundred small ways I'm not even conscious of.

But mostly, I still write for myself.

Kal Spiro writes...

Ok, this isn't about Gargoyles, though I loved the show. This is about Young Justice. I tried finding another way to contact you, but ultimately this will have to do. The point of this question is about Robin's preocupation with the word Whelm. My question is, has anyone actually looked into this word? I did, and as such have the answer that he so desperately grasps for. The reason no one is ever simply Whelmed is because Overwhelm and Whelm have the same meaning. To cover over completely as with water, to overpower. Whelm simply fell into disuse because overwhelm sounds better. Therefore his desire to simply stay whelmed actually accomplishes nothing.

Personally I'd like to see someone explain it to him at a properly dramatic moment, just to make his life that much harder just then.

Greg responds...

I think he probably looked it up within a few days of his first use of it. Didn't change his approach.

Zatanna Zatara fan writes...

1. Zatanna has skills in hand to hand combat?. I wrote this question because she don't have fear to attack Harm or intent stop him meanwhile Artemis trying to repair she's bow (in the episode Secrets).
2. The designation number of Zatanna will change?, she now is a official member of the team :), the number change to B08 or not.

From Latin America, thanks for creating the best characters for the series (Miss Martian, Artemis and mi favorite 4ever Zatanna, i love she). Sorry for my mistakes in English

Greg responds...

1. Zatanna has very minimal hand-to-hand skills at the time of "Secrets".

2. Her designation changed when she joined the Team. And changed again when she joined the League just before Season Two.

Rob writes...

I have two questions about "Coldhearted", and they're sort of nitpicky.

1) When the thug tricks KF into giving him the heart, why did he not destroy it while he was in the elevator? He made it from the elevator to the car, so he must have had time...
2) How did the Queen recover so quickly after open-heart surgery?

Greg responds...

You admit up front that the questions are nitpicky, so what kind of answers are you expecting here?

<sigh> Fine.

1. He was told to deliver it to his boss.

2. She was putting up a good front.

Pinja writes...

1) Was Wonder Woman in the JSA? She'd have been 15 in 1940 and 20 at the end of WW2 but that's no younger than the team

2) Was she born/made as a baby or as a fully grown adult?

Greg responds...

1. Eventually, but not in 1940.

1a. She was sixteen in 1941 when she joined the All-Star Squadron.

2. Sculpted as a baby.

Hi Greg! I absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE Young Justice, and I can't wait for more!

One quick question regarding "Coldhearted";

1) When Artemis told Wally that M'gann and Superboy were dating, was what she whispered ever scripted, if so, what did she say?

Thanks again, love the show, and keep up the excellent work!

Greg responds...

1. It wasn't scripted. I'll leave her exact words to your imagination. (The last thing I need is another Titania/Fox conundrum.)

Jake the Fearless Leader writes...

Greetings, Mr. Weisman. Allow me to compliment this wonderful series known as Young Justice you and your team have created. Every episode seems to leave me on the edge of my seat. I only have three questions to ask.

1. The design of the Wayne Manor exterior is amazing. I fell in love with it the moment I saw it, both in Issue #0 and onscreen in "Downtime." I'm curious, though. Was your design influence by other incarnations of the manor (such as the live action movies and tv shows and the various animated series) or is this an original design?

2. In "Infiltrated," the League of Shadows attempted to steal knowledge from Wayne Tech. And in Issue #12, Clayface was delivered to the Wayne Foundation. a) Is Wayne Tech a single company, or is it part of the much larger Wayne Enterprises? b) The Wayne Foundation is a charity building and therefore separate from Wayne Tech, correct?

3. Also in reference to Issue #12, I'm not sure if I'm just slow or if it wasn't supposed to be obvious, or perhaps I'm just way off my mark here, but would I be right in assuming that Lucius Fox does not know the true identities of Batman and Robin?

Greg responds...

1. This is really more of a question for Brandon Vietti. I was shown the design and said "Cool!"

2. WayneTech is a division of Wayne Enterprises. The Wayne Foundation charity is a separate entity.

3. He does not.
