So, what exactly did you look for in choosing the characters in the show. According to Wikipedia,

'The six main characters were chosen by the producers, from a list of 50 to 60 DC Comics teenaged superheroes, as potential candidates'

I know that Robin was probably required by law to be used, but were there any young heroes in particular you wanted to use but were cut out?

Okay, now for the Geek questions, and hopefully they are new

1; I've seen Rocket in the commercials, and you answered a similar question with the Joker so you can't back out....who is Rocket's voice actor?
2; What State is Dakota located in
3; Ditto with Fawcett City
4; Does the martian manhunter retain his choco addiction?
5; Is Wildcat still active as a hero?
6; Why did you choose to create a 16 member strong Justice League, as opposed to a larger (See JLU) or smaller one (See Justice League Doom)
Seven; Is Amanda Waller the herophobic person she was in Justice League or is she too minor a character to think about
8; Okay, so Amazo was disassembled and sent to Star Labs, which was attacked by the Fog the next episode. Did you forget that detail or is it a spoiler.
9; Now that Doctor Fate is in Zatara's body...is he still in the Justice League?
10; Why are there two Green Lanterns? I've noticed that John Stewart is given more a role than Hal, appearing in Alpha male and talking in Failsafe.
11; Did Cadmus manage to get Robin's DNA in Fireworks? Or for that matter, Kid Flash's or Aqualad's?
12; Finally, that scene with the six original main characters facing down their mentors, plus Wonder Woman, at the hall...when will we see that scene?

Thanks for answering fan questions. Just has a couple Wotan ones.

1. How did Wotan join Klarion after getting captured in Revelation?

2. Any chance Wotan's escape after Revelation may get featured in the comic?

Thanks.

1.Does Billy Batson have a crush on Miss Martian? Or is it like a fan crush thing?
2. How much does Green Arrow care about Artemis?
3. Are Artemis, Megan, and Zatanna going to have some girl bonding in future epsiodes?
4. How close are Icon and Rocket? Does Rocket think of him like a father? What does Icon think about Rocket?

Given their similarities was Red Inferno's story based loosely off of Tomorrow Woman's?

Dear Greg,
I was just wondering if the team knows the relationship between Kid Flash and the Flash, similar to how they know that M'Gan is Martian Manhunter's niece, Zatanna is Zatara's daughter and that Artemis is Green Arrow's "niece".

Dear Mr Weisman,
First off I want to say how much I love Young Justice; the story telling and animation style is gorgeous and brilliant, and I love how it always keeps me guessing, I never know what will happen next. I have a couple of questions relating to the comics and the relationship of Batman and Talia.
1 How old is Talia?
2 How long has the "relationship" been going on?
BTW just saw Misplaced and it was fantastic! And I have a couple of questions about that as well:
1 Was the big blonde guy riling up the crowd outside STAR labs in Gotham Sportsmaster unmasked?
2 Was that Commissioner Gordon on top of a squad car with the megaphone in the same scene?
Lastly this isn't a question but an observation. I've read a lot of the Ask Gregs and internet chatter about Superman and how people don't like the portrayal of him being so cold towards Superboy, because they find it "unSuperman" but I love it. It seems so natural that he would feel violated by people he has sworn to protect, and I'm sure on a deep level he knows it isn't Superboy's fault he exists he just doesn't know how to act around him.
Keep up the amazing work, I can't wait to see how this season's story ends :)

Hi, Greg, Young Justice is genius. Have a couple questions-

1. Have you heard any rumors or news around the studio about a potential YJ season 3?

2. Do you have an idea in mind for where you would take the show in a season 3?

3. Have you ever considered ideas for a Young Justice spin-off?

4. Would you ever consider doing a different Earth 16 Series if given the chance?

Thanks.

Greg,

It's really cool of you to take time out to answer questions like these. This is the closest to "DVD commentary" that we can get, which leads to my question:

Would you consider doing a "director's commentary" podcast of an episode or few of Young Justice (your choices of course) that could be posted here as mp3s that we can play along while watching to episode on mute?

Thank you again for your time.

Hi Greg!
I just have one question.
In "Terrors", did Miss Martian put on the other prison uniform? At the end, though, she shifted fully back into her superhero costume. Can she just shift out of whatever she's wearing, regardless of whether or not it's "Martian" clothing?

Larry writes...

Someone asked you about the occurrences of the number 16. I just wanna let you know where you can find a list of them:
http://youngjustice.wikia.com/wiki/16

Question: Failsafe is episode 16. Did this bear any relevance while writing the episode?

Robin Hearts Zatanna writes...

Greg, I love Young Justice, it's really wonderful show. So I have a couple questions-

1. I'm not sure if you can say anything on this yet, but how.does Young Justice: Legacy work within conjunction to the show? According to what's been released so far, it features a brand new storyline set between seasons 1 and 2, but yet you said season 1 ends December 31, and Season 2 begins January 1. Does the game take place over a night?

2. What made you guys choose for Zatara to become the new Doctor Fate? Was it make Zatanna more like Robin with the loss of her dad?

Thanks for answering fan questions.

Mark writes...

I just want to say how much I appreciate how you are using Milestone characters in Young Justice. Even though it was not meant to be this, it still is a great tribute to Dwayne MacDuffie's memory, especially considering how underused the characters are in the comics proper.

And now for actual questions...
1) Out of all the villians in the Light, Queen Bee seems very out of place. In the comics, the Bialian Queen Bee was never given an actual name. So, was Queen Bee added because A) you wanted a dictator supervillain and she fit the bill, B) it was the perfect role for Marina Sirtis, C) you wanted to add an obscure character to the Light, or D) all of the above?
2) Related to the above, will Queen Bee be given an actual name? Not searching for spoilers, it just bothers me that she didn't have a name in the comics.
3) Since Young Justice is TV-PG, you can get away with a lot more stuff than, say, Spongebob. So I'm wondering if there was anything in the scripts that you wanted to add but the higher-ups did not allow. I say this because someone asked earlier about Rocket's son and wondered if Cartoon Network would have allowed a character to be a teen mother. Not looking for spoilers, like I said before, but I just like knowing behind the scenes stuff, although I assume you would like to save revealing this stuff until after the show's finished.

And finally, will Stephanie Brown appear? Oh, wait...that might be a...*puts sunglasses on* Spoiler Request. *YYYYEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH*

Hey Greg, just watched Misplaced. Y U DO THIS TO ME? My feelings are exploding right now. But thank you.

1) How do you feel about CN constantly putting your show on hiatus? Does it make you feel angry like your "babies" are being ignored? I mean it's been over a year and the first season isn't even over, granted it will be in a couple weeks, buutttt... Yep.

2) Is Klarion gay? He seems very flamboyant and metrosexual. Or maybe it's just me stereotyping. Love his nails, by the way. And his facial expressions. And everything about him, it's pERFECT.

3) Are any characters gay or bisexual? If so, who?

4) If you could have any superpower, what would it be and why? Or if you can't decide, which superhero would you like to be and why?

5) Does Artemis use any hair products? She has a lot of it so maybe she might need even hairspray or something.

6) Any of the girls use make up? Or even the boys, haha.

7) Will the Flaming C ever be a regular on the show? Wait, before you answer it, is it a SPOILER ALERT?

8) In Bereft, when Wally wakes Artemis up and she yells "Who put me in this?!" in regards to her costume, then Wally says right after, "I'm not touching that with a ten foot..." and then he never finishes the sentence. Why does he say that and what does it mean? I never understood its context or anything.

9) In Misplaced, when Wally tells Artemis that Dr. fate targeted Teekl to defeat Klarion, he didn't have his cast on (this was also a released screenshot before the episode). But later Wally did. It's... very confusing. Not a question, but just pointing this out.

Okay, thanks Greg. ROCK ON!

GoldStarz writes...

Misplaced was a really good adaption of A World Without Grown-Ups! Really happy Zatanna is on the team,too.

1. Now that Zatara is Doctor Fate, is someone going to replace him on the League?
2. Is this the first time the Justice League has lost a member?
3. Was Amber an original character? I looked up her name on the DC wiki, but couldn't find anything.
4. Was the intro shortened by you or CN?
4A. If it was you, why did you shorten it?
4B. SPeaking of intros, will we get a new one for Invasion?
5. How did you decide who went into Klarion's magic group? Was it like what you did for the Team?

Anonymous writes...

Hey! First of all, thank you for the awesome show! I was never into superheroes until it saw your show!! Thanks! XD
Secondly, I just saw Misplaced (which was amazing by the way!) and I was wondering why Klarion's eyes turned al red and small. Does it happen whenever he wants and did they do that before in Denial?
This might be considered a spoiler, and if so then just don't answer, but will there be more Batman and Robin moments? Cause those are definetly my favorite!!!
Thanks for the awesome show!!!! :)

So I have a quesstion about the spell Klarion and the others were using in the beginning of "Misplaced." It sounded like it was German? I could pick up the first three words, "Wir sind die," which translates to "We are the," but I couldn't understand what came after that. What did they say? Were they speaking German? Or am I totally off base?

Thank you! :)

Hey Greg, let me start by saying I love Young Justice, espacially the art! Now I have a couple of questions:
1. Who does Bette live with?
2. Did Bette ever go by Betty, if so why did she change it?
3. Where was Wonder Woman during Misplaced?
4. In Misplaced when, the adults were missing and the teens were taking care of the children, Did Barbara wonder were Dick was?
5. Does Miss Martian think she and Artemis are close friends? Does Artemis think she and Miss Martian are close friends?
6. Where was Roy during Misplaced?

Hi!

I have a few Young Justice questions about magic. First, is magical affinity in their world partly genetic? (Zatanna shares her father's powers, and many Atlanteans have magical skill.) Or does it have more to do with teaching and personality (Kent Nelson told Nabu that Wally's soul belonged to science)? Could a lone student with a spellbook learn, or does it take more than that?

Last, I absolutely loved Zatanna changing her boots to a more practical version in "Secrets"! More battle-practical female attire, please!

¯\_(ツ)_/¯ writes...

Hey Greg :)
Did the event of Snowbird's Don't Fly ever happen in the show's universe? It didn't look like it, from the way Roy left Ollie, but you never know. Sorry if this has been asked before, but I couldn't find it in the archives.
Thanks! Love the show by the way; everybody who's complaining about it is just looking for reasons to gripe.
(And good luck with all these questions!)

Anon writes...

What spell did Zatanna try to conjure before she was "chocked" by Red Tornado? What did she say?

What spells Zatanna used in "Secrets" and "Misplaced"?

What does Klarion say when he attacks Zatanna? Was that reversed speech too?

BLA writes...

Hello Greg,
I absolutely love watching Young Justice, and I want to compliment you and your staff for putting on such a stellar show week after week (when Cartoon Network actually decides to aire episodes, that is). The script and attention you all give to detail is truly phenomenal, which brings me to my first question:

1. For the particulars of each episode (ie: Robin’s knowledge of computers, Wally’s knowledge of science, and people speaking foreign languages), do you actually have specialists on hand such as linguists, chemists, geologists, physicists, etc. to consult when determining how exactly you would diffuse a volcanic explosion among other things? Or do you and the writers just do an obscene amount of research before writing up each scenario?

Also, I’m fairly convinced at this point that the ability to withhold spoilers is some sort of superpower. I know I’d be too excited for the show to refrain from giving out details. Do you don a mask and cape to become “The Weisman” before answering our questions?

Thank you for your time. As always, it’s a pleasure watching your work and reading your responses.
~BLA

How did Red Arrow know where Artemis was at the end of episode six? There are many zeta tubes teleporters, and not only in gotham, how did he know where to find her?
