We've just seen "Misplaced", and it was absolutely fantastic. I'll admit, I was worried about the "no adults theme", but I think it was a very original take on what some might call an overused trope. It was brilliant, original, and exciting, so kudos to you!
Another thing, congratulations on answering all your Ask Greg questions prior to March 3rd, and good luck with all the rest! Also, congratulations on Young Justice: Legacy! It's great to see Young Justice's success, you and the rest of the cast and crew definitely deserve it! It's a fantastic show.
On to a couple of questions;
1) The credits at the end of the episode appear to be incorrect, and are that of a future one. Would you be able to post the proper credits? I'd love to see who voiced Gordon, as well as Billy Batson.
2) The opening titles have been replaced with a single titlecard reading "Young Justice". Was this a decision made purely by yourself/crew, or did the change come around as a result of the DC Nation programming block?
Thanks very much for creating such a fantastic show, and I hope Cartoon Network has the sense to continue asking you for new seasons, because Young Justice - very honestly - is the best animated television series Cartoon Network has ever had. In fact, it's the only reason I watch CN! Thanks again. :)

Greg Weisman says:
"YOUNG JUSTICE Episode #19 ('Misplaced') Credits
So... aren't we off to a good start?!
Can a man simultaneously be sarcastic and not?
Anyway, I was mostly thrilled with the premiere of DC NATION, but obviously frustrated that CN attached the WRONG episode's credits. So without further ado:
YOUNG JUSTICE Episode #19 ('Misplaced') Credits:"

What happened to the plane after Billy transformed?
An Ask Greg Helper responds...
Greg Weisman says:
"It means that whatever was ACTED upon takes precedent over what was not acted upon. So the Helmet of Fate stayed in Roanoke. The piece of the creature stayed with Riddler. And Amber's plane crashed."

Greg responds...
Now that you've seen (hopefully) episode 125 "Usual Suspects", what do you think?
emily writes...
1. so zatanna is an official member of the team right? and if so, will she be given an ID number?
2. how would you describe robins feelings towards Zatanna?
Greg responds...
1. Yes and yes.
2. I think they're fairly self-evident.
Anonymous writes...
Hey Greg! You are doing a great job on Young Justice. I just had a couple questions:
1. Are Bette and Barbara good friends? They are around each other a lot
2. This might sound stupid but, does anyone on the team (besides the mole) know who the mole is but, there hiding it for whatever reason.
3. are Green Arrow and Black Canary getting serious in their relationship?
4. Are Superboy and Miss Martian getting serious with, their relationship?
5. In Misplaced when some of the team went home to see thier parents and or relatives, why didn't we see Miss Martian reuniting with, John or Kaldur with, his mother or King Orm?
Greg responds...
1. Not particularly. Barbara's a freshman. Bette's a sophomore.
2. SPOILER REQUEST. NO COMMENT.
3. See issues 20 and 21 of the YJ companion comic. (And, yes, that was a SPOILER REQUEST, but I like to pimp the comic.)
4. Define serious.
5. There wasn't screen time to show EVERY possible reunion.
meksters writes...
Hello, thank you for taking fan questions! I love YJ, you guys are awesome! Anyway, I was wondering if we might see more Wonder Woman? Speaking or not I'd really like to know if she would make another apperence! Thanks! :D
Greg responds...
By now, you've already seen more of her. And she's in the Justice League, so I think it's fairly self-evident that you'll see more of her still.
Alexia writes...
I have questions about Atlanteans.
1) Do Atlanteans eat their seafood raw? I don't see fires being lit underwater unless they have a special way of cooking food underwater.
2) Do all Atlanteans have a set of gills and a pair of lungs to breathe underwater and above the surface?
3) How was Kaldur's first experience breathing surface air? Did he choke/gasp or did he transition smoothly?
Greg responds...
1. I would think for the most part, raw. But they have means of cooking should they want to. (Hot spring type things.)
2. Most do.
3. I'm sure it was a shock to the system, at least a little.
Now, see, this post was great. THREE questions, all on a similar topic. None previously asked or answered. And no request for a spoiler. Perfect.
J-GL/Dattaboy writes...
Greg ive liked yourself since I was a kid Gargoyles, as a teen Spectacular Spider Man and now with Young Justice. I know you did a lot of stuff in between but those really stick out to me.
Anyway on to the questions and I'm trying to be careful to avoid any spoilers.
1. Youve said before that you have access to every DC character, does this also include Wildstorm characters?
2. Like on land would it be correct to assume that are different kinds of ethnic groups that occupy the population of Atlantis specifically the group that looks most human?
3. What did most Atlanteans evolve from or is magic involved?
4. Icon and Rocket operate on a global scale or are they mostly stick to the US and Dakota?
5. What is the Guardians of the Universe policy for how many GLs are needed for each sector?
6. Between the time of the JSA and the start of the JL were there any other active public superhero groups?
7. On the team right now who is the best hand to hand fighter?
8. Since Kaldur left before he could graduate magic school does that mean that since Zatanna joined the team she is the better magic user?
9. Speaking of Kaldur since he is Aquaman's lad does that mean that if Aquaman retires than Aqualad will become the new Aquaman, but not the new King of Atlantis?
10. What does being Aquaman mean anyway or how much overlap and what are the differences between being king of Atlantis and being Aquaman?
11. Do Bruce Wayne and Lex Luthor operate in the same social circles?
12. In this continuity does Luciuos Fox know Batman's secret id?
13. Does Wonder Woman have a secret id?
14. Would it be safe to assume that other than Conner Kent no other hero has used the name Superboy?
15. Artemis grandparents were they good people or were they similar to her parents?
16. Back when the team was in Biyala the Light mentioned they had a new partner does this mean their new partner was joining the group of seven or did it mean they have a new business associate
Greg responds...
Okay, again. TOO MANY QUESTIONS ON ONE POST.
TO THE MODERATORS: Feel free to delete any post that has more than five questions, give or take. I don't want to be anal about this. If a sixth question really is just an extension of question five, than we can be lenient. But the opposite is also true. If folks are cheating by asking a question 1 and then 1a and then 1b and then Ic, etc. so that it only APPEARS that they've asked five questions or fewer than delete.
I hate to do this, but I'm running out of options. As long as people continue to disregard the posted rules and guidelines, the queue will never shrink. And I feel like every time I sort of shrug and let it slide, I'm only making the situation worse. So I'm going to have to be tougher and make the moderators be tougher as well.
Now there are a bunch of really good questions up there, J-GL/Dattaboy, so I hope you repost them again - in three or more posts of REASONABLE LENGTH.
catbat writes...
I wish some fans would stop dissing Talia and Catwoman...they are strong independent complex women and Batman is not cup of tea either. He has a history of jerkish behavior and commitment and intimacy issues. In your series he seems more approachable and kinder and I think that makes him even better for anti-heroines like Talia and Selina. And it's not like he has lacked for many so called "good" women. Some of those other women thrown at him are not even workable and therefore that is why we always go back to Talia and Selina. Yeah, I'm rambling but I think Talia and or Selina fit in Batman's world and the fact they have painful pasts make them more able to share and even understand Bruce's painful past. And in any case...it's your show/verse to explore. And I like it. Um, would be nice to see the awesome Damien Wayne debut on YJ.:)
Greg responds...
Well, I'm particularly fond of the Selina Kyle that I grew up with - which may or may not match up with more recent interpretations. Talia interests me too. We'll (eventually) be seeing more of her in the comics. (Beware the "Serpent", I always say.)

20. How old is Black Manta?
Greg responds...
Yeah, I'm just going to disallow ALL of this. I've warned before about asking too many questions on one post, with five being the max. In theory, I could answer the first five, but I feel like that would be rewarding you for breaking the rules.
CGYJ writes...
Hey Mr. Greg Weisman,
It's me again. I know it's only been a couple of hours since my last posting, but I just watch “Misplaced,†and I got to say what was done to Zatara, and forcing him become Doctor Fate, was very cruel. Who would have thought that the Helmet of Nabu was such a selfish entity, to take Zatanna’s father away from her. So, now that Zatara is Doctor Fate, does that mean we’ll never see him (as Zatara) again? I hope that, somehow, Zatanna will get her father back. Also, do you think the fallout of this Doctor Fate situation will somehow develop into its own story arc within the show? I have a strange feeling that my second question is somehow going to be right.
Thanks for taking the time to read my post.
Greg responds...
Obviously, this is a significant event and won't be forgotten. Beyond that, SPOILER REQUEST. NO COMMENT.
Matheus writes...
Hey Mr. Greg, great fan of your work.
My questions are the following:
1: Is the Guardian like the comics version (ie: A clone)? And is his name Jim Harper?
2: Was Red Tornado's technology unchanged throughout his life?
I've looked at the archives and haven't found anything regarding these questions, as you said, Guardian's been a hero for three years, but htat doesn't mean he couldnt be a clone, and I'm not sure if it's a spoiler, so forgive me if it is.
And thank you for your time.
Greg responds...
1. SPOILER REQUEST. NO COMMENT.
1a. Yes, his name is Jim Harper.
2. No, he's been upgraded a few times.
Anonymous writes...
Hi Greg! First of all, congratulations on the Young Justice video game! Can't wait for its release! I've just got one question, which I've been wondering about for a while:
1. When you use cultural references in the show (like Wally's Planet of the Apes reference in Alpha Male, or his 'Dumbledore' line in Denial) do you have to ask permission to include them in the script, or do you guys have pretty much free access to all Warner Brothers material?
Great job on the show! Its easily my favourite TV show right now- there's clearly a lot of talent and effort that goes into it, and it really pays off! Keeping my fingers crossed for a season 3!
Greg responds...
1. It depends on HOW we use it. A mention like that is what's known as "de minimus". That's a legal term which basically means it's of little significance. And that's okay. Parody is also okay, though the definition of parody can be tricky. Obviously, a bigger use like our Marvin the Martian visual would have taken permission if not for the fact, that, yes, Young Justice and the Looney Toons characters are all part of the larger WB family.
Gwen writes...
Does the entire cast of the show get to see the episodes they recorded before they air?
Do they have access to the entire script or only their lines?
Do you make a point of hiding spoilers from them?
Greg responds...
1. No.
2. The whole script.
3. Well... we don't go out of our way to spoil things for them. But we tell them what they need to know, and if it's in the script, they've seen it. We DO go out of our way to tell them NOT to spoil stuff for anyone else.
Moonlight1102 writes...
Hi Greg, I'm a big fan of your work, especially Young Justice and Spectacular Spider-Man. So what is your opinion on the Young Justice Wiki?
Greg responds...
I haven't really had time to explore it much, though I've visited. My only real experience with wikis (other than wikipedia itself) is the Gargoyles Wiki. And the technology seems different on the YJ wiki, so I'm not as adept at navigating it.
Having given all those caveats, however, it seems great! There's a lot of incomplete articles - even in terms of what's already aired and/or been published in the comics - but I assume fans will fill that stuff in as time allows.
Dan writes...
Hey Greg, just want to start by saying I freaking love Young Justice, it's probably my favourite show right now trumping even Game of Thrones, and I want to say a great big THANK YOU.
But going to my question: The YJ video game has just been announced, are you taking part in its writing/production in some form? Cause god that would be awesome.
Oh, also, I had the wonderful chance of meeting Crispin Freeman in the summer, seemed like a great guy, he's probably fun to work with.
But yeah, have a good day man, and thank you so much for making the greatest Comic based show in a long long time.
Greg responds...
Brandon and I are both advising on the game.
And Crispin IS a great guy.
Omega writes...
Whoops!!! Sorry about that one question about Klarion. I thought I read through the archives and (un)answered questions. I guess I may have skipped over it. I do sincerely apologize about that!!!
Greg responds...
That's okay. It can happen. But for future reference, I truly appreciate the DESIRE to apologize. But in fact, all it really accomplishes is to further bog the queue. So in the the future, I'd recommend living with the error instead of acknowledging it.
Maralie writes...
In the Phineas and Ferb episode "Exaliferb!",during the "epic monster battle" part there was a gargoyle that kind of like one of your characters,wondering if you saw that and what you think of the show.Mattel's Monster High line has also included a character named Rochelle Goyle,she has big fin ears like some of yours,but she needs a tail.One of the Monster High pets is a gargoyle bulldog named Rockseena that reminded me of Bronx,and it seems like their going with your females eyes glow red rule,but the gargoyle pets still have wings.What do you think of the Monster High dolls?
Greg responds...
I haven't seen any Phineas and Ferb's, though one of my good friends, Greg Guler is the character designer for the show, and I've heard great things. I just haven't had the time.
And I'm even more unfamiliar with Monster High. Sorry.
Omega writes...
Wow! First I'd like to say great job with young justice, but I just have one question about episode 19.
1.I read that Klarion is ageless, right? So why is it that when Klarion and the other 4 sorcerers were creating the 2 different dimensions, Klarion went to the "child-only" dimension instead of staying on the adult one?
Greg responds...
ASKED AND ANSWERED.
Anonymous writes...
Since Starro's leg was moved in the adult dimension but not the kid dimension, yet The Light still had it when the worlds merged back together, then does that mean the adult dimension was the "real" world while the kids were sent to a pocket dimension, rather then things just being split? So the airplane is still uncrashed?
Greg responds...
No. It means that whatever was ACTED upon takes precedent over what was not acted upon. So the Helmet of Fate stayed in Roanoke. The piece of the creature stayed with Riddler. And Amber's plane crashed.
Anonymous writes...
Another question:
In issue 12 of the YJ tie-in comics, how was Ra's al Ghul able to persuade Clayface to sleep? Does he have some kind of mind control or hypnotic powers or something like that?
Greg responds...
Pre-programmed failsafe hypnotic suggestion that all of Ra's Shadows are subjected to at the start of their training.
Anonymous writes...
Loving this show so far. Got a few questions
1. If Superman doesn't have super breath on Earth-16 as you've said, then why is he shown using it in issue 2 of the tie-in comics?
Greg responds...
1. That's not one I wrote, so I'd have to look at it, but I'm hoping there's another explanation. Otherwise, we're just going to have to admit it was a mistake.
Eagle-Owl writes...
YJ question:
Let's assume for the sake of argument that the mole, whoever he/she might be, knows he/she is the mole. Why doesn't M'gann read everybody's mind and find the mole? And for that matter, why doesn't J'onn do that?
Greg responds...
We've tried to establish - in this Universe-16 - that telepathy isn't as foolproof as all that. That (a) you can't invade someone's mind without leaving a trace or being detected and (b) it's not hard for anyone trained to foil an attempt at mind reading. Even Bane, who in our universe is still relatively new at facing super-powered opponents was able to thwart Miss Martian.
All this, of course, is moot, however, since the RECENTLY REVEALED MOLE, Red Arrow, had no idea he was the mole.
YJ UPDATE
It's been a bit of a while, so I thought I'd post a production update on Young Justice:
SEASON ONE
101-125 have all aired.
126 airs this coming Saturday and Sunday on Cartoon Network. (Check local listings and cable guides.) It's our big finale. You REALLY don't want to miss it.
SEASON TWO
201-206 are all in the can, and currently scheduled to begin airing one week after our Season One Finale. (Which makes me happy.)
207 - We previewed the music score today and we're mixing it on Thursday. If all goes well, it should be in the can by Tuesday at the latest.
208 - We spotted the music today. And should be in the can one week after 207.
209 comes back from overseas tomorrow for retakes and editing.
210-211 should arrive on the heals of 209. We still need to pick up one actor (who was unavailable at the time of the original recording) for these two shows in ADR, but that'll take about an hour or two for both episodes. It won't cause any delays.
212-216 are all overseas being animated.
217 ships today.
218 is in storyboard revision.
219 is waiting for Brandon and I to give notes on the storyboard.
220 - The board is being cleaned up now for notes.
COMIC BOOK
Issues 0-14 have all hit the stands and are available at stores or on-line.
Issue 15 concludes our Atlantis two-parter hits the stands this week.
Issue 16 is at the printers.
Issue 17 is being pencilled.
Issue 18 is scripted and waiting its turn.
Issue 19 is plotted and is being scripted now.
Issues 20-22 have been pretty much locked down story-wise, i.e. I know exactly what stories we're telling in these issues.
Issues 23 and Beyond - I've already got a fairly clear idea of where we're going and what stories we're going to tell. Not locked in, but I'm pretty clear.
