Hi, Greg. Love your show, never miss it.
Was Dick ever kidnapped (both as Robin and as Dick Grayson) at any point before the series began? If yes, would you have an estimate of how many times it occurred?
Nine-hundred and ninety-four times.
I was curious if you were able to provide a full list of the Zeta Tube designations. I only ask because I keep track of it for my own fanfictions, and I can't have some characters enter the cave in a story because I don't have thier code, and I don't want to be inaccurate. I research everything before I actually start a story, but some of the codes are just unknown as of right now.
ASKED AND ANSWERED. But have you checked out the Young Justice Wiki? Cuz they have most of them.
Why does Superboy wear a belt when he's facing villians, while other times he doesn't wear a belt?
Really? Is that true?
Guess, he REALLY doesn't want his pants to fall down in the middle of a fight.
Can you post a rundown of the frames used in the opening sequence of each episode like you do with the credits? That would be cool.
Huh?
If you brought the characters power levels back to their first apperances does that mean Wonder Woman has that neck problem?-in her original comic amazons could be rendered unconcious by a blow to the back of the neck.
I think I can be rendered unconscious by a blow to the back of the neck.
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!
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?
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!
Thanks for your kind words. I'd happily continue doing this series ad infinitum.
hi gref , just wanted to ask a wierd question Does wally like twinkies? YES,NO,MAYBE SO.....??????
I guef so.
Why wasn't Wonder Woman part of the JSA?
Who said she wasn't?
I said she wasn't a founder, which had more to do with timing than anything else.
why did the light want rhelasia reunited?
Not just reunited, but reunited under Lex Luthor's influence.
1. When did John Stewart join the Justice League on Earth 16?
2. When did Black Canary join the Justice League on Earth 16?
3. When did Green Arrow join the Justice League on Earth 16?
4. When did Captain Atom join the Justice League on Earth 16?
5. When did Red Tornado join the Justice League on Earth 16?
3. Green Arrow, Hawkman and Hawkwoman joined the League in Team Year Negative Six.
1, 2. 4, 5. Zatara, Captain Atom, Black Canary, Green Lantern (John Stewart), Captain Marvel and Red Tornado joined the League in Team Year Negative Two.
1. What type of energy are Icon's pulse blasts?

2. ASKED AND ANSWERED with SPOILER REQUEST. NO COMMENT.
3. See above.
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.
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?
1. Not so jokingly.
1) were dick and artemis friends while at gotham academy?
Eventually.
hi again, i just wanted to ask you a few questions in your earth 16 dc universe, if you have the answers of course...
1) how old was clark kent when he started working at the daily planet?
2)how old was bruce wayne when he took over Wayne Enterprises?
3)how old is jon stewart, and how long has he been a green lantern?
thanks
1. Twenty-one.
2. SPOILER REQUEST. NO COMMENT.
3. ASKED AND ANSWERED.
3a. SPOILER REQUEST. NO COMMENT.
I want to make a point here, explaining why I'm willing to answer question 1 and not 2 or 3a. Clark graduating college and starting work at the Planet, is just a matter of course. Not that I couldn't tell an interesting story about his first day on the job, but the FACT of him starting work there is only that. A fact.
But how the orphaned Bruce Wayne took over Wayne Enterprises and how Jon Stewart became a GL are STORIES by definition, and so are not going to get answered here.
Hi Greg:
I have a few questions that pertain particularly to Amazo. As I believe his story is over, I'm hoping none of these questions will run afoul of the spoiler rules.
1. Amazo's powers appear to be based on technology (when he replicated the Canary cry, there was a sonic cannon in his mouth. Given this, would he have been able to replicate powers that are hard to replicate with technology, such as the Green Lantern ring, Martian Manhunter's telepathy (he didn't mind-read Superboy's intentions when he was accessing Martian Manhunter), or Zatarra's incantations?
2. It was never shown on-screen, but does Amazo also have the attendant weaknesses when he is accessing a specific hero (say, Kryptonite to Superman or fire to Martian Manhunter)?
3. Given that Professor Ivo was revealed to be a Light agent, why didn't he build more Amazos to do all that work on Rimbor? Wouldn't it have been easier to do so, than to try to infest the League and the Team?
4. The Amazo display in the Hall of Justice museum (in Alienated) has an intact head. Is this a replica of the original? If it is a benign replica, why is it shown in a disassembled state?
Thanks!
1. These are fair questions, but I'm not sure I know the answer. But I'm going to say... yes, some powers are more difficult to copy than others. For example, even though he encountered Green Arrow, we didn't show him shooting arrows... because he didn't have access to a bow.
2. I'm going to say no. Unless the weakness is inherent in the power, i.e. density-shifting around an invulnerable solid object.
3. How is that easier let alone convincing?
4. It's the real thing. So obviously, another Amazo was built during the timeskip.
First thing's first: give credit where credit is due. Congratulations on the completion of Season 1. What an action packed final two episodes! I was very disappointed when CN decided not to air them back to back. I was literally sitting on pins and needles for a week between "Usual Suspects" and "Auld Acquaintance." The revelations, the fight sequences, the plot! Everything was incredible. You and your entire team deserve a pat on the back.
Now, onto Season 2. I'll admit, after the opening segment, I was completely thrown for a loop. I did not expect a time skip like that. A few days, possibly. 5 years, absolutely not. I had believed that it would be way to soon to make that kind of a risky move. So when I saw it happen, I was naturally very worried. Now, three episodes in, I am pleased to say that I have officially been drawn into the new season and am anxious to see where the story goes from here.
I suppose the concern came from my love of all things Dick Grayson. He is my favorite hero of all time. It's been a long time since we've seen a young Dick tackling the streets of Gotham as Robin the Boy Wonder (last series that covered Dick as Robin for an extended period of time was "The Batman"). Seeing him advance to Nightwing so soon made me nervous, seeing as he usually becomes less of a focus whenever Tim Drake comes onto the scene. There were so few Dick moments last season (well, in comparison to the others, at least) that I didn't want to see who I believe is the best DC character get shoved to the sidelines too soon, but seeing as he's Team leader, obviously not gonna happen.
So, onto my question: Were you prepared for the audience's reaction to Season 2? Or has all the negativity towards the time skip surprised you?
Okay, so (a) I don't agree that Dick got short shrift last season and (b) not that there hasn't been some negativity, but in general it hasn't been that bad, and mostly the response has been positive, particularly among those who were willing to be a little patient and give us a few episodes to show that it was still the show they had come to love.
Is Apokolips and New Genesis in a dimension connected to all DC Universe's or is their a unique version of the two planets in each universe?
I don't know.
Hi Greg! Thanks for answering our questions!!
In the comic book world, Superman's ability to freeze things can be fully explained by the "Joule-Thomson effect" in physics - Where the release of highly compressed air through a valve (such as pursed lips) causes it to drop radically in temperature. (Wikipedia!)
With HIS level of muscle strength doing the exhaling, he could freeze things easily.
Also, a major by-product of invulnerability should be that his lungs are alot tougher than normal humans and even other superhumans. So logically, his lungs should be able to COMPRESS and store much more air than normal people because he can handle higher levels of air pressure.
Sometime last year, you said the reason why Superman doesn't have his freeze breath in your show was because it wasn't believable enough.
It's a very fair point and i do respect your opinion, but which part was it exactly that's not believable?
In a way, his freeze breath can be explained by real-world science better than his heat vision. :)
That's my fanboy moment done!!!
Thanks for your time. Your doing a brilliant job.
Yeah... I'm still not buying it.
I buy heat vision (for Superman, not Superboy) because the guy is solar-powered, and who's to say what Kryptonian eyes are like.
But the ability for a lung to compress air just doesn't play for me. Volume is limited. So being able to take in enough volume of air to create "super-breath" isn't working for me. And the ability for pursed lips to than take this "compressed air" (which again I'm not buying into) and "valve" it into something truly freezing still isn't working for me.
And that's on top of the fact, that it's just too goofy for me visually and conceptually.
Dear Greg, great job so far. Ignore the people who whine or think they know better than you do. The effrontery and rudeness and arrogance of some fans always amaze me. Your show is successful because of the way YOU are writing and plotting and not because what they think something ought to play out. I know I don't want to see something that has been done over and over in comics and in former cartoons. What is the point of that? I like YJ because it offers up something fresh and modern and it is part of the multi-verse? Earth-16? So nothing has to follow anything that is on other earths or continuity, right?
Right. Thanks. (Though I should point out that I'm not a one-man show here.)
Hi there! I have two questions, if you don't mind my asking.
1.Why did you decide to call Hawkgirl "Hawkwoman" instead of "Hawkgirl?"
2. I recently learned that in some continuties, Thanagarians' wings are attached to some sort of harness. Are their wings genetic or artifical in this world?
1. Since both names are legit, we wanted to push the adult characters toward names with "man" and "woman", to save the "boy"s and "girl"s and "lad"s and "kid"s for the Team.
2. Genetic.
Young Justice Questions - Atlanteans and Fish:
1. In episode 3 of season 2 was Black Manta eating fish (1b: with hollandaise sauce and white wine)?
2. Do Atlanteans (in this continuity/earth 16) generally eat fish?
3. If so, is this something subject to regional variation?
4. What sort of reasoning is there behind the choice to eat/not eat fish?
5. Do Atlanteans supplement their diet with vegetation (i.e. seaweed)?
(Thank you - and the whole team - for this wonderful show. It serves as my weekly bribe for making progress towards completing my dissertation and has honestly helped me through a rough couple of months. By the way, searching the archives for the word 'fish' produces some interesting results.=)
1. I don't recall.
2. I would think so.
3. Doubtlessly.
4. No different from real life reasons.
5. Of course.
Mr. Greg,
Quick question after reading some of your responses (which seem to ba all over the place on this issue)...when recreating a charicter that has a firmly established history in the DCu (as apposed to say Lagoon boy, who existed but didnt even have a real name until now), how MUCH of that history - if any - do you feel "obligated" (for lack of a better word) to include "nods" to that history?
For instance...and if this seems like a spoiler question, im sure you can think of another example that isnt...the Clark/Lois relationship is practically written in DC stone (as it should be!)...basically my question is: are you the kind of writer that respects the CHARACHTER when writing them, only what you petsonally like about them from the past, or do you like "leave your own mark" even if that means totally reimagining them?
Using the Clark/Lois idea as a beromiter, where do you stand? (ie, if you would never change anything THAT iconic, where do you draw the line?
Thank you for your time.
I have no interest in "leaving my own mark" and every interest in trying to get to the core of each individual character and portraying them with (what I see as my version of the) truth.
The trouble, of course, is that most of these characters have decades of continuity, created and supervised by dozens of individuals that weren't always in perfect synch with each other or - frankly - even with the character.
So, yes, Brandon and Phil and I get to make choices about what we believe is "right" for any given character. Keeping what's essential. Leaving out what may not be, and ditching what we flat-out feel doesn't work. There's no doubt that my personal biases come into play. (NO SUPER-COLD BREATH EVER!) But I try to be as objective as possible (given what a subjective topic we're dealing with here) about what plays to the core of each character.
But events in a pre-established comic book continuity, i.e. "a firlmly established history" are more up for grabs. We're in a different parallel universe, and some things did happen... and some did not. And some things that never happened in comic book continuity DID happen on Earth-16. I'd hope the character's responses to any given event would be on target, whether or not the event happened in DC's (many) pre-existing continuities.
Relationships are even more complicated. I'm not going to guarantee any character exists on Earth-16 that hasn't been seen or mentioned in canon. So how can I guarantee a relationship between two characters, when one might not exist? But to use your example, we've seen in the comics that Lois exists. And of course Superman exists. So then the question is what if any relationship do they have and does it match up with continuity. And the answer is... YES. But what does that mean? Superman and Lois have (since 1938) had all sorts of different relationships at all sorts of different stages, ranging from strangers to marriage. And both have, at times, dated other people. So I would try to be true to BOTH characters, but I'm not going to guarantee where they are in their relationship at this moment in time.
Is it true that Linda Parks name is written on a list somewhere in one of season one's episodes?
Does this rumor even exist, or are you starting it here and now?
1.-Is there a version of you on earth 16
2.-Is there a an alternate version of every one in real life on earth 16?
2b Is there a version of me on earth 16?
3.-Is there a version of marvel comics (as a coomic book company) on earth 16?
1. <sigh> I suppose.
2. Not EVERYone.
2b. I don't have a complete list handy.
3. Coomics are very popular on Earth-16.
Would anyone like to see Young Justice win a People's Choice Award?
Write in your vote for our nomination here: http://www.peopleschoice.com/pca/nominations/vote.jsp?pollId=120024
Does being Nabu's host prevent someone from sending or recieving thoughts via telepathic link? For example, if Martian Manhunter linked up the Justice League, would Zatara be able to talk to Dr.Fate's teammates?
Honestly, not sure.
Hola Greg,
Alright I went through the archives and I didn't see this question (sorry if I missed it/or if it's a Spoiler request but I don't think so)
1. On Earth 16, does the whole concept of "if an Amazon is bound to a man, she loses her powers" still true?
2. In the comics there's various versions as to why Amazons wear the cuffs/silver bracelets, why do Amazons wear them on Earth 16 (besides using them to dodge bullets and what not...I mean does it have to do with a reminder to be enslaved...or something of the like?)
(sorry if these are questions asked but not responded to but there's over a 1000 of those...and I just finished going through over 200 related Wondy posts...)
1. SPOILER REQUEST. NO COMMENT.
2. DITTO.
Hi Greg,
I've finally hunted you down,im a 30 year old weight trainning coach from Manchester England uk and i wanted to say that Young Justice is'nt just a great show it's the best show (animated or not). ALSO ....
Hope you don't pay any attention to all the "where is K.F" and "we dont like the chances in the show comments" Young Justice is the cleverest show i've ever seen i love how your twenty steps ahead of the audicence.
My question is ..... Where do you come up with Robin's fantastic quotes like "feeling the Aster" (oppisite to disaster) "whelmed" and "well get taught" oppiste to distaught)
Thank You
Neil Cailey
neilvincentcailey@yahoo.co.uk
I came up with "whelmed". It's something that's always made me wonder. After that, a number of folks contributed, including our writing staff and even my wife and kids. Try it. It's fun.
In Season 1's "Infiltrator", I noticed that Miss Martian's eyes glowed red while she lifted Kid Flash out of the pool. So far in Season 2, her eyes are glowing green whenever she uses her powers.
My questions:
1) Does a red glow mean telepathic inexperience?
2) Can her teammates see the colour of the eye glow as well? Or is it used to tell the audience that she's using her powers?
1. Um... maybe.
2. Yes, they can.
Is Klarion literally Chaos given form, or is he like Dr. Fate in that he's just a host?
He's a Lord of Chaos. But not the only one. But, yes, he is Chaos personified.
The Justice League in the comics seemed more like an American organization while the Justice League you presented in Young Justice is an International organization with U.N. approval that operates all over the world. I like this version of the Justice League, but I wonder why all the members are based in United States.
1. Sure, Wonder Woman is from the Amazons, Superman is from Krypton, Martian Man Hunter is from Mars, Hawkman and Hawkwoman are from God-knows-where, but they are all based in America. Why aren't there any African, European, South American or Asian heroes in the supposedly international Justice League?
2. In a world where there are so many ways to become a superhero, how come China, Russia, Japan, India, Spain, Italy, Egypt and others haven't had superheroes who could join the Justice League? And how come the U.N. accepted them so easily knowing they were ALL American heroes? Having American citizens serving as worldwide policemen must be uncomfortable for most countries.
3. Also, there are a lot of evil villains with different countries of origin that have appeared on the show like Count Vertigo, Vandal Savage, Bane, Ra's Al Ghul and Queen Bee, but you haven't presented any superhero from any other country at all. Why is that? And even if there were one, why isn't there more?
4. One final question concerning the same issue. Why did the Green Lantern Corps choose three American citizens to defend Earth? I'm not trying to disrespect John Stewart, Kyle Rayner and Hal Jordan, but there certainly has to be a lot of willful and heroic people across the globe that could do wonders with a Green Lantern ring. Why these three? And why all from USA?
Thank you for giving the time to answer these questions and many others! Love the site. Thanks.
1. Okay, I think this is simultaneously a legit question and a bit of a specious one. To some extent, you know the answer already. We weren't going to ditch out on the greatest heroes of the DC Universe simply because they're all based in the U.S. (Though if I wanted to nitpick, I could say that Aquaman absolutely is not, and that we haven't established where the Hawks are based on Earth or whether Wonder Woman is currently based in the U.S. or elsewhere.) I'm not saying that DC doesn't have international heroes to choose from, but they aren't the classic ones that we were using to create a pantheon in contrast to our teens. As the series progresses (especially given enough episodes and/or issues), we'll be introducing more heroes from across the globe. As for an in-Universe answer, let's just say that the League was formed by seven American base heroes who came together to face an alien threat on American soil. Currently, America is where most of the heroes live. Just as America is (or at least until very recently was) where most baseball, basketball and (American) football players live. These things spread, but not overnight. And, all things considered - source material, especially - I think our series is more diverse than most.
2a. See the answer(s) to question 1.
2b. Who said they accepted them easily?
3. See above.
4. We haven't seen Kyle on this series. Only Hal, John and Guy. But keep in mind, the Corps didn't pick the Lanterns. The RINGS chose the Lanterns. And proximity was absolutely a factor.
Just one question: Why does Bane's pupils dilate when he uses Venom in Drop-Zone, and constrict when he uses it in Usual Suspects? I imagine that the venom formula has changed in the intervening period (because his eyes go bloodshot in Usual Suspect, which doesn't happen in Drop-Zone), but having completely opposite reactions is fairly odd for a chemical that's supposed to have a consistent effect. Was this just a goof or is there a reason for it?
Anyway, just something I noticed. Great job on the series; I'm a constant viewer and a definite fan. Thanks for bringing us such a high quality superhero show!
1. Less of a goof than an inconsistency - assuming your describing it accurately, as I haven't checked myself. But if you want an in-Universe explanation, let's assume you were seeing two different moments in the overall transformation process.
Dear Greg.
I am a big fan of your work, in particular Gargoyles, Spectacular Spider-Man and Young Justice, and as an aspiring writer, your technique of plotting, use of foreshadowing and Chekov's Guns are a big influence on me.
Here are a couple of questions:
1. What is your approach to plotting a series?
2. And who are your influences as a writer?
To end this off, I would like to thank you for all of your excellent work in every field you have participated in, and I hope to see further projects from you in the future.
Joe
Both these questions have been ASKED and ANSWERED many times before. Check out the ASK GREG archives.
But thank you for the kind words.
Greg, DC should let you do a Justice League series based on the New 52. I like the way you write and have a healthy respect for all characters and development of them feels more authentic than anything I saw even in the JL/U series. You don't dumb anything down and treat your audience as intelligent by challenging us to think/react. Thank you for such a great show as Young Justice.
You're welcome.
Hi Greg!
Thanks for the amazing work on YJ! I was never even into comics before, but after watching episodes with my little brother, I have to admit I'm hooked. So thanks :)
Anyway, just one question: You guys were permitted to continue with Season 2 : Invasion around the beginning of Season 1 I think. So if you hadn't been allowed a Season 2, would Season 1 with a different, finite ending? And once you were granted with S2, did you have to change a lot of plans?
Thanks so much for your time, I can't wait to watch the next episode!
Nothing would have changed. The plan was the plan.
1) How many issues of the Young Justice companion comic will there be? Is it an ongoing, or is there an issue cap?
2) How many issues plots have you got laid out already? (I won't ask you what they are, I'm just curious how far ahead they've been planned.)
Thanks!
1. It's ongoing, I assume as long as sales hold.
2. I've JUST finished writing the script for issue #25. Turned it in early this morning. I haven't started on 26 yet, though I have many, many, many story ideas to chose from.
Three questions
1. Does Jaime want to be a dentist?(it's his comic dream job)
2.Since it looks like Jade knew Roy2 was a clone was the flirting just to annoy-a him,b-Artemis,or c-both?
3.Could Red Arrow and Superboy be considred 'brothers' since they were both cloned by the same orginization?
1. SPOILER REQUEST. NO COMMENT.
2. C doesn't cover it.
3. By Dubbilex's definition, yes.
Why is Rocket in the Justice League in YJ: Invasion? The conversation between her and Icon in the Season One episode "Usual Suspects" suggested/implied that she was going to stay on The Team.
Yes, five years ago - at age 15, she was quite happy on the Team. Five years later, at age 20, she was offered a spot in the League and took it. These two things are not incompatible.
If Superman was at age 33 when Young Justice started (at 2010), and he officially started his superhero career at age 21, that mean he was born in 1977 on Krypton, correct? Also, assuming this occurred before his superhero career officially started, when did Clark Kent finally found out (or at least, accepted) the truth about his origins?
On your assumptions: He landed in Kansas in 1978 and to all appearances seemed to be a one-year-old. I won't confirm or deny the year of his actual birth.
As for your question: SPOILER REQUEST. NO COMMENT.
What was the conversation between Superman, Wonder Woman and Martian Manhunter toward the end of episode 2?
I'll leave that to your imagination.
1. Out of curiosity; if you had to choose out of all ALL the characters who are parents in this show who would win "absolutely worst parent of the year award" in Young Justice?
2. How bad was this parent, Green Goblin bad, Firelord Ozai bad, Fourth kazekage bad or Gendo Ikari bad?
3. Regarding each characters past, a) was there reasons you decided to modify the pasts to make them harsher and realistic or was it a more of story point necessity? b)Out of all of them, who would you consider the most dramatizing?
1. I'll leave that to you.
2. I don't know who those last three are.
3a. Who are we talking about?
3b. "Dramatizing?"
Hi There Greg!!
Here is my question.
I'm guessing that the reason why you guys put WW's age into the 80s was to emphasize
the fact that she's immortal, which was a great move.
I know that Superman is in his 30s on your show, but i've read and seen in multiple portrayals of Superman (like Kingdom Come, DCAU), that while he's not immortal, he has a much, much longer lifespan than normal humans.
Was the reason why you chose not to give him a advanced age, was to emphasize the fact
that inside, he's more human than alien?
I'm not confirming or denying that Superman has a longer lifespan. Nor am I confirming or denying that Wonder Woman is immortal.
In any case, your premise regarding Wonder Woman is incorrect. She's older because she first came to "Man's World" during World War II.
Why did cameron's dad frezze himself?
Huh? When did he do that?
Thanks for all the work you and your colleagues put into such a great series!
I was curious if this universe has a system for dealing with the property damage that comes with the existence super powered heroes and villains, it's always something I end up thinking about watching animated series.
In terms of..
a. Is the league expected to help the general public repair neighborhoods and cities?
b. Is money privately and publically budgeted for expected damages in high risk cities? (The typical home areas of all the different heroes.)
c. Has it ever become an image/PR problem for the league? Or does the status quo put lives before property and accept it as an inconvenience/blame the bad guys?
Very excited to see where Invasion is going. :) Unexpected but interesting twist.
a. "Expected"? That depends on who we're talking about. But I think they do help when they can.
b. Perhaps.
c. Mostly the latter, but things ebb and flow.
I have the feeling there are entire industries on Earth-16 (insurance, certainly) dedicated to this stuff. In fact, I'll make up one such on the spot: LexSure, a division of LexCorp.
Based on Beast Boy's flashback in "Earthlings," I suspect that Queen Bee killed Marie Logan (and presumably tried to kill Garfield as well) as revenge for Miss Martian's deceptive actions in "Usual Suspects." Why wasn't Marie Logan and her son put into protective custody in order to avoid further danger from Queen Bee?
I'm not going to confirm or deny your hypotheses.
But as for the lack of 'protective custody', it was a combination of M'gann's naivete and Marie's stubborn desire to stay put and run her sanctuary.
Hello Greg Weisman, thank you for this interesting opportunity. I'm a big fan of Young Justice and it's great to see another great DC show around. I'm sorry to say this is the first show by you that I've watched (I should fix that). Snappy writing, fun undercurrent of mystery, and from what I understand is a staple of your shows, not assuming your fans are incapable of following an ongoing plot line.
I love the fight scenes in the show. Very fluid animation; and I enjoy in particular when the "normals" get to cut loose and drop some martial arts on each other. I also find it fun when Superboy gets to utterly wail on people.
Anyways, I have a question that has been plaguing me in recent years. I'm not sure if the answer varies from show to show but here it is. How much say do the writers get in the crafting of the action scenes? Do you guys lay down some guidelines for what must happen in a fight or do you ultimately leave it up to the animators and/or artists?
Well, there's my question that quickly devolved into a multi-question, I'm sorry. But, please, keep the awesome coming man! I hope this show keeps on keepin' on! Six seasons and a movie!
Every series is different. On YJ - and most of the shows I've produced - I make sure that the script spells out the action in real detail - in part to attempt to assure that we're not winding up with an episode that's too long or too short. Having said that, I then am happy to have our board artists, directors and my fellow producer (on YJ that's Brandon Vietti) go to town and PLUS the action and visuals. But I do get approvals on all this to make sure we're staying on point with our story and not doing stuff that's out of character or off-tone for our series. Then you have the timers and, of course, the animators contributing too.
So this Beast Boy's powers are derived from the martian blood in his body and not THE RED-(the energy cast off by animals)?
and regarding the transfusion would that make Gar 1/16 martian or something?
1. SPOILER REQUEST. NO COMMENT.
2. I don't know how to answer this. It seems like an exercise in semantics.
