Dear Greg,
Wow, Revelations was great!! I loved the Injustice League, all the members got good screen time, and were accurate to their characters. Of course Joker steals all the scenes he's in, perfect. And thank you for the reserve League members. It was nice to see Plastic Man, Guy, even Blue Devil! But Icon and Rocket really threw me off, I mean wha?? They didn't even survive the reboot (as far as I know). And The Light, it was nice to see a lot of my guesses were right, I knew Brain was in there! Though Klarion was a surprise. Only one thing would have made me happier about this episode, and that would've been an appearance by a certain muck-encrusted denizen of the bayou formerly known as Alec Holland. Now onto some questions I have;

1-Did I hear Wotan use one or more of the spells The Archmage used? If so, awesome, thank you.
2-Is one of the Light emebers Ocean Master?
3-Will Wolf get named? Or the sphere?
4-Are Icon and Rocket League reservists? Or were they just other heroes helping out?
4b-How many reservists does the League have?

Please send my praise to the cast and crew. Can't wait for next week!

Hello Greg. I've been loving Young Justice, and Revelation has been the best episode so far, in my opinion. It made me so happy to see Blue Devil get a cameo, since he's such a cool character who has really been underused.

My question is, has Blue Devil been turned into a real demon, or is he still just stuck in his stunt suit? And on that note, was the trident he was using magic or tech?

On tonight's new episode of Young Justice "Revelations" (Which I enjoyed by the way) it showed the inclusion of milestone media characters Icon & Rocket fighting off the plant creatures along with the Justice League.

1. Were you a fan of the original Milestone Media?

2. There are rumors circulating that Rocket will be the 7th member of The Team. Can you comment on this?

3. Do you plan on using any other milestone characters such as Static?

thanks for taking the time for answering my questions. Love the show!

Hi Greg. I had a question concerning the YJ comic and it's availability on Amazon. So far, no listing for your companion book issues seems to exist, save the following, entitled "Young Justice Vol. 1", scheduled to be released in 2012.

http://www.amazon.com/Young-Justice-Vol-Art-Baltazar/dp/1401233570/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1318612414&sr=1-1

What exactly is this? There's not a lot of information. Will this be a bundled collection of a few of the issues? 160 pages suggests it's a collection, but that number doesn't seem high enough to include every issue out by that point. Thanks.

I think your direct tie-in marketing for the comic is handled really well, as I don't ever buy them, but plan to get this. That said, I wouldn't have had a clue of its existence without this site, and I still wouldn't have had an incentive if I hadn't read here that the content was relevant (other heroes' backstories, lead-in to the Clayface fight). You guys REALLY needs some advertising. I hope you at least include an insert or something with the eventual DVD season.

Hello Greg
Will you have holiday episodes for Young Justice?

Catharine writes...

I've been watching Young Justice since last Thanksgiving, and I'm really enjoying it and am glad we're finally getting new episodes again. No questions right now, just sending you compliments on a generally well-crafted show.

I love Kaldur, M'gann, Superboy, and Artemis, and also Black Canary. I'm really looking forward to getting more about The Light and everyone's evil daddies. I also like the less emotional portrayal of Red Tornado and how you are dealing with Superman being a bad father. Though, I would appreciate it if maybe Wally finally realized not to be a jerk to his female teammates. Also, the internet keeps having persistent rumors that you're going to kill off Kaldur, and I realize it's probably too late as it sounds like season 1 is pretty much in the can, but I beg you not to.

Overall, though, I am enjoying what's happened so far and looking forward to more.

Laura 'ad astra' Sack writes...

I apologize if this is a double- it doesn't seem to have posted:
Wow... took me forever just catching up on the unanswered questions. Certainly gives me added appreciation to the time you take to actually answer them. Apologies if I've muddled where some things occurred in the time between watching/reading and typing.

Targets:
1- So Artemas & Cheshire are sisters... it's what I suspected, but I still really like the dynamics it sets up. (It seems odd to read someone feels females are under represented in YJ considering it feels to me like the three characters getting the most play (episodes and comic books combined) are Artemas, M'gann and Superboy. By nature of the time period of the series the girls are among the newest side kicks and it shows, but it's how the pieces fit. I'd love to see more of the wildly effective Black Canary, but the kids are the focus of the series.)

2-Politics....
a-Is it just my imagination, or were the stand in for S. Korea body gaurds not Asian? If so, why?
b-Why talk of reunification and not just relations? The latter seems far more realistic.

3- Was Ras aGhul's line about how "Peaceful countries rarely call upon the League of Shadows" purely for Roy's benefit, or was there some truth behind it?

4- High school... there are sure a lot of superpowered, or eventually to be powered teens in that school.... I think you already said that Conner didn't recognize Snapper Carr.

5- Still loving the way the credits refer to characters as they appeared in the episode- If in uniform, that name. If not, not.

6-The Sphere is a cutie. Still reminding me of the Forever People's car that adopted the previous team name YJ.

Terrors-
Liked it very much, but don't have much to say. Always love seeing The Wall. (Well, excepting the image someone posted of how she looks in the New52 Suicide Squad. Any Amanda Waller I outweigh is just plain wrong.) The nature of the operations was a perfect illustration of what was meant by the team's purpose being covert. The relationship between M'gann and Conner continues to charm. And for once on TV someone notices a face out of place!

One very strange compliment: I don't like Icicle Jr's look. This struck me as a good thing. I hadn't really noticed till I was comparing his human look (which was more pleasing) and his iced up one. It makes sense that the combination of how his condition effects him and his own esthetic sense creates his 'costume' may result in something I personally don't like. There is no reason my tastes and that of a 17 yr old hoodlum with daddy issues should aline.

[I don't remember if it was in reference to this ep, or another in which M'Gann and Conner kiss, but I heard a very amusing anecdote in a podcast interview of Danica McKeller about being asked to actually kiss to get the proper sound in the voice recording. She was ok with it, but Nolan North was distinctly uncomfortable considering how very pregnant she was at the time. http://www.jimmyaquino.typepad.com/comicnewsinsider/2011/08/episode-351-cni-one-shot-animation-special-green-lantern-and-young-justice.html]

Homefront- Also enjoyed a lot but don't have much important to say.
1-The Sphere is still really cute.
2-Artemas shined- being inexperienced and overwhelmed makes sense. How she handled it spoke volumes about her.
3-Robin's 'get trought' line was another instance of a verbal tic I don't love used very well and believably. (I don't love "Hello M'gann!" but I very much like it when she uses it in an offhand almost to herself way. It's how real people use annoying speech habits. ...well it's how I use mine;)
4-I got Barbara's cameo {resisting asking the obvious spoiler questions about whether she's Batgirl yet, sanctioned yet, part of the earlier 'croweded batcave' remark Robin made, or going to show up much at all since she's a Gotham and not YJ character... with great difficulty resisting asking if she knows Dick is Robin, and if so, does Dick know she does.}. I see others have asked if Dick skipped a grade to be a freshman. I think it's been asked how old Bab's is. I'll ask if she's skipped any grades? I'm used to the college at 16 Bab's from the comics.
5- Missed the Bette cameo. oops
6- Red Tornado has 'family'...not complaining, but it makes me miss the version with a wife and daughter. Different universe, different stage of life- I just liked them.
7- My guess: Reddy was not the mole, but the mole is as unaware as Reddy would have been. (Not expecting confirmation.)

Alpha Male- Also really happy with the episode.
1-Liking how M'gann resorts to multiple limbs (your animators must have your faces on dart boards).
2-Capt Marvel is fun.
3-One episode of Conner being ridiculously over protective of one of the most physically imposing members of the group is enough- ending with an actual resolution to the issue was very smart. Whether it ends up being perfect or not, I assume it won't be that over the top going fwd. And I do like it when teenagers are allowed to actually talk about what is making them act stupid instead of being forced to continue that way in some mistaken idea that the brain shorts out completely at puberty.
4-Khory's leadership was nicely showcased. The team's annoyance and eventual understanding was also played out nicely. (Again, allowed to act as kids and keep brain function.)
5-Like how they all figured out the collars.

Latest comic-
Is Artemas at all embarrassed by her mother or just totally focused on her father when she made the comment that so obviously hurt her mother?

Greedy request-
I either forgot to scribble notes or lost them, so I don't have many individual comments on the past few comics. Would it be possible to open Ask Greg for at least a few days after issues hit the stands like you do after episodes air?

I'm sorry to hear about your dog. Your description of the kennel/shelter for basset hounds you got him from is pretty much my husband's description of heaven. (AC and unlimited back rubs.) It conjured up an image for me of a much loved and happy pet.

Hey Greg,
quick question about the timestamps for Alpha Male. I may be looking at this wrong, but shouldn't the timestamp for Fawcett City read September 23 instead of September 24? Because it's either that or the team's mission took a lot longer than I thought.

Dear Mr. Weisman:

Hope all is well. I enjoyed Gargoyles when I was growing up, and I felt compelled to write you after reading through all 647 comments on the Young Justice archive.

I LOVE Young Justiceâ€"not like but LOVEâ€"and when I read a comment that this show is the one with most negative comments, I wanted to tip the scales. I liked JLU and B:BATB, but YJ is the first show I truly believe took the mythos of the DCU and not only created a show that was true to these roots but still made a unique premise. It’s familiar and new at the same time, true to everything that makes the DCU great. I’ve downloaded all the episodes from iTunes onto my phone, and I listen to them as I load contracts. XD!

I really love how the show focuses on the teenagers but doesn’t ignore the adults (like TT). Characters on the show have never been ignored. When you focus on Wally or Dick or Artemis, you still have the others play significant roles in the episode, and the cameos are AMAZING! From Barabara Gordon to Jay Garrick, you’ve forgotten no one, and you’ve used almost everyone! I try to keep a tally, always adding new ones. I know it’s been said 135 people through the first sixteen episodes, so I’m trying to find all the characters.

A few random thoughts:

1. Love Dick’s word play. I actually have started looking up words and their meanings, like “traught.” It’s really cool to see the root words! (My mom’s an English teacher, so it works well with her classes, too.)
2. Maybe I missed it, but I didn’t see in the show/comic where Wally knows Dick’s real name, so I liked being able to read that in the archives.
3. Kaldur and Garth were awesome! I loved how the show gave us an in-depth look at Atlantis and how it is the same and different in the mainstream DCU. (I love Kaldur, too, and I like his role as a leader. It makes sense that he would be in charge rather than the young Robin, and Kaldur leads the Team awesomely!) I know you’ve said that Garth is Kaldur’s best friend, so I hope we see more of him on the show eventually. (Not a back door spoiler request. XD! Just hope he comes back.)
4. I originally thought the Light was Lex Luthor, but I like that it’s seven people. It makes us wonder who they are. Same with the traitor plot that’s now coming out. I don’t think it’s Red Tornado since he didn’t turn until after the other robots came back online, but I like that there isn’t someone we really know is the traitor. I’ve spoken with watchers in my LCS, and all of us have different people we think it is. XD!
Thanks for putting out such a great show, and I appreciate these archives and your willingness to answer questions. I actually won’t ask anything because I’m sure anything I would, would either receive a “no comment” or “spoiler request,” so I’ll just end with this:

Good luck to the show. I hope it runs for many seasons and I get a higher paying job, so I can continue to buy the episodes off of iTunes for my phone.

Thanks!

In "Bereft" (which is quite possibly my favorite episode thus far), the Biyalan troops immediately open fire on Wally and Artemis with what seems to be lethal force. But when they ambush Robin, the orders are to take him alive. Is this just a case of different troops operating under different orders? Or is there some significance to the fact that they wanted Robin alive?

Thanks so much for taking the time to answer the questions of curious fans! Love the show(s)!

Hi Greg,

Thanks very much for all the hard work and dedication you and your team give to Young Justice. It's truly an ace show and I can't wait to see what sort of adventures you have in store for your fans.

My question is comic-related. Are there any plans thus far to release a trade paperback of all the issues from season one? Unfortunately, all my local stores are sold out (I've even been told that DC Comics itself is out of the first couple issues). I'd love to read the undoubtedly genius story lines you've come up with and am starting to get a bit nervous that I've missed the boat... Thanks for any insight you can provide!

Hi Greg, just wanted to send in myu review of "Alpha Male";

Wow, that was a great episode! That was sincerely the first time I've enjoyed seeing Monsieur Mallah, which takes work. I loved the character growth with everyone. Captain Marvel was awesome, I loved his interactions with Kaldur and the others. But my favorite bits were the tiger and the white wolf. That was simply hillarious! Excellent work, keep it up.

Greg Bishansky writes...

If I didn't know for a fact that Greg Weisman wasn't on drugs, I'd ask him to share whatever he's smoking. It should be impossible. How do you take something as corny and frankly stupid as a French brain in a jar whose' best friend is a gorilla in a French beret and make that intimidating. "Young Justice" managed to succeed at that.

The teaser is great, and the inciting incident is brilliant. Mayor Hill of Gotham City is in the jungle when a gorilla steps out of the trees with a mini-gun and shoots them all up. I'll admit to being amazed Mayor Hill is even still alive after that. But I did enjoy his cameo. I have no idea if he was in the comics, but I know he was in "Batman the Animated Series."

This episode is about the fallout between The Team and Aqualad after the latter keeps to himself that there is a mole on the team. I thought Superboy's reaction was well handled, and while I have seen a lot of complaints about how The Team reacted to this, I think they all ring true. What many people seem to forget is that these are teenagers. They are not the professionals that Batman and the Justice League are. Not yet anyway. This entire team was founded upon these teenagers being pissed off that the League was keeping secrets and not trusting them. Of course they'd be pissed off at Aqualad. But, by the end of the episode, after speaking to Captain Marvel, Aqualad takes charge and the team seems to get over it. But I am sure this will continue to have long term consequences.

This brings me to something else. A while back, I saw someone say and I'm paraphrasing from memory "Teen Titans reminded me of what was fun about being a teenager, Young Justice reminds me of what sucked about being a teenager." What? Why should the less fun parts about being a teenager not get depicted in a show about teenagers. My memories of being a teenager are not exactly happy ones. God forbid fictional teenagers get written like real ones, instead of a fantasy version of teenagers. Yes, I know this is a fantasy world, but that doesn't mean everything should be run through and sanitized to a point where the less fun stuff is glossed over and ignored. These aren't adults waiting for a growth spurt, and yet a lot of the complaints I see are from people who think they should be written that way. I think the problem here is that many fans are looking to their favorite shows or books for wish fulfillment rather then drama. People want to escape to a fictional world where they can vicariously live out there fantasies via their favourite hero. But there is no drama, and that's not real. This actually ties back to what I said two weeks ago about Superboy and Miss Martian's romance... of course it's not real. These are two hormonal teenagers who have a lot of growing up to do.

Finally, Captain Marvel was easily the highlight of the episode. I loved his child-like enthusiasm, and even though I knew about his secret identity, I still thought the epilogue of the episode was played perfectly. Fun stuff. I hope to see more of him as The Team's new den mother.

Cassidy01 writes...

Young Justice is awesome!

1. A debate started between a few friends of mine regarding Aqualad's eye color and everywhere I looked online had a different opinion. So, for the record, what color are Kaldur's eyes?

Hi Greg,

Young Justice is one of the shows to which I most look forward every week. I'm so glad the hiatus is over.

I have one question arising from issues 7 and 8 of the tie-in comic: Will we learn (during season one) the name which Artemis's mother Paula used when she was a criminal?

Without being explicit, so as to avoid spoilers, it seems pretty clear what name her father Lawrence uses, but if we're looking to the original comics there are two names Paula could have used. I don't want you to give it away, just to clue us in as to whether or not we will learn it in due course.

Hi Greg,

First, I love Young Justice, Spectacular Spider-Man, and Gargoyles. But I do have one criticism of Young Justice that you may or may not wish to respond to.

I love Young Justice, but if I have one criticism it's that you have turned the Justice League in to a bunch of wimps. In one episode, you have Superman struggling to lift a bus over his head. Dude, Spider-man can lift a bus over his head! Then, in "Alpha Male," you have Captain Marvel who is generally regarded to have powers on par with Superman, walk in to a trap like some chump. It was really undignified for someone considered to be the world's mightiest mortal.

I understand that you are trying to create a sense of jeopardy - that these characters are actually in danger, so you are deliberately limiting their capabilities. And I'm not suggesting you return to the era of the Superman who could push planets around, but I feel that you have gone to far in the other direction.

Like I said, I love the show, and I appreciate you taking the time to answer our questions, but this really bugs me.

Hi Greg! First of just wanted to say that I'm absolutely loving the Young Justice series, it's fantastic (particularly Home Front!) I just have a few questions about the process of voice recording for Young Justice.

2) How long does it typically take to record each episode?
3) Who generally directs the voice actors during recordings?
4) Do the actors input their own suggestions for how the characters may react in a certain situation?
5) Does the script go through 'last minute' revisions during the recording?

4. Whose better at acience Wally or Dick? (both seem to know a lot)
5. Is Wally in any advance classes at school? Given his scientific knowledge it seems as though he should be considered a genius.
6. Does Wally intelligence come from speedsters abilities to think through things faster?
7. Who is Superboy closest to among the males on the team? he seems to enjoy Wallys company as he was the one who opened his home to him. They also seemed to have a good time mocking the tornado twins together. But then again Aqualad seems to understand his emotions more then other.
8. Do the other members of team ever look down at Robin for being so young or has he well since proved his ability to hold his own to them?
9. Is Aquaman from atlantis or was he originally from the surface world like some of his origins dictate?
10. Is superman married is this universe or even in a relationship with Lois lane?
Thanks for any answers you can give

Hello~ I've been a fan of "Young Justice" for some time, and I've been wondering:

For the scenes with martial arts (Black Canary, Robin, Batman, etc...) do the animating team actually study the moves and reference, or do the animators and storyboard artists just "whip something up"?

Thank you :D

Hey Greg, I really like the show and had a couple of questions.

Question 1: How does Commissioner Gordon afford to send his daughter to a private school on a cop’s salary.

Question 2: I debated asking this because I have a feeling it might be a spoiler request but I wasn’t entirely sure. If it is, feel free to ignore it. Edward Nygma never struck me as having superpowers so why was he being held in Belle Reeve?
Thanks for your time and really I adore the show.

Me again Greg just a quick question,

If Lucas "Snapper" Carr appears in another DC cartoon, would you want to voice him again?

hallofjustice writes...

YJ feedback and things I would like to say about Barbara Gordon:

Greg, I would like to say I am very very happy that you've casted Jesse McCartney and Alyson Stoner as Dick Grayson and Barbara Gordon and that they are now some of my favourite YJ characters. If Dick and Barbara weren't voiced by any "good talented" Disney stars, they would have been boring characters.

I don't know about you Greg. But since she's voiced by a "good talented" Disney star I really felt Barbara's personality is leaning towards "Christy Carlson Romano" territory after watching her appearance and attitude on your show. It's a good thing BTW. Oh and I would love to see more appearances of Barbara.

John Derrick writes...

Twelve episodes into "Young Justice," and my question is essentially the same one I asked after the premiere: why is this show so predominantly focused on the male characters at the expense of the female?

The show still features only two girls on the team. The women of the Justice League have hardly been seen at all - your interviews when the show began certainly led me to believe Black Canary would play a far stronger role. But most frustrating of all, even this far into the season, Miss Martian and Artemis are consistently portrayed as the least experienced heroes struggling to keep up with the boys.

Last week in "Terrors," we got to see Superboy and Miss Martian undercover together - with M'Gann quickly discovered and captured, and eventually rescued by Superboy. This week, Artemis got to follow Robin around, panicking and asking, "What do we do?!" Yes, she was the one to save her teammates in the end, but she did so following Robin's plan, and the momentum of the episode was built around her fear, not her strength. It would have been a powerful emotional journey - if your show also allowed women to be the strong and independent heroes as often as the boys. When most of the stories are about the guys taking the lead, an episode like this about Artemis just serves to underline the disparity between the tough guy heroes and the emotional rookie girls.

(And a more minor note: I was also pretty disappointed by the cameo from Barbara Gordon, one of my favorite comic characters in all her incarnations - reducing such a brilliant and independent person to a moment of glaring jealousy.)

I'm sincerely baffled how such a dude-heavy show can come from the writer behind the many wonderful women of Spectacular Spider-Man - not to mention the same writer who gave the world Elisa Maza!

I'm curious how Icicle Senior managed to get Killer Frost, Mr. Freeze, and Captain Cold to cooperate with him in his plan to bust the other cons out of Belle Reve. I mean, these guys are villains, not heroes. I understand why heroes would want to help out other heroes, but I think villains by their very nature wouldn't really care much about the well-being of other villains unless it's somehow in their own best interest or if the villain that they are helping is someone that they are personally close to. Why would these guys be so altruistic as to help anybody else?

Bridgette writes...

Hey, Young Justice is awesome man! Your doing great on that series.
1. How come while Artemis, Robin, Wally, M'gann, and Superboy have to go to school, Aqualad doesn't?
2. Are you planning to reveal more about Green Lanterns in Young Justice or at least making them a main focus in an episode?
3. What grades are the Team all in?

Sarah Lynne writes...

Great job on Young Justice so far. I got a few questions:

1.What are the names of Red Tornado's "sibling" androids from episode 12?

2.Will Kid Flash and Artemis become friendlier to each other?

3.Will more characters join The Team later on in this season or next season?

Thank you.

Hello Again Mr Weisman! Thanks so much for the answers earlier, and now I have a couple more.
1 In Young Justice issue #6, Superboy says that he wants to take Superman "out", will this be touched on in the series?
2 I read in the YJ archives that Jor-El and Lara came to Earth with Superman, will we meet them or are they deceased?
Thanks for taking the time!

Sebastian writes...

Just wanted to say I love Young Justice. My daughter and I watch it religously, and when I can get her to the comic book store, she can never make it past the Young Justice comic without grabbing a copy.
The new episodes are fantastic. I love the pacing of the series. Please don't stop the occasional focus on characters like Red Arrow, or fantastic moments like the dessert scene with Bruce and Clark. Also, as someone who watched the original Super Friends way back in the day, I was absolutely cracking up at Marvin's "M" shirt when he crashed into Connor. Priceless.

My only question is: Since the big DC reboot, I haven't seen anything about Young Justice being in the New 52. Is the Young Justice comic going to continue, or are there any plans for any upcoming comics in the Young Justice continuity/Earth 16?

Thanks for all of your efforts on the show! As I watch each episode, it really shines through that this is "special", and that the creators really care about it.

Why did you choose to have two Green Lanterns? Why Hal and John? I was under the impression that Guy was the second Lantern. (If it's for plot, just say, "plot reasons")

Joshua writes...

in "homefront" (awesome episode btw), why did Artemis choose her arrow out of the different memorabilia instead of the helmet of Fate? it just seems rather short-sighted to me to hang the fate of the entire team on a single shot with an arrow instead of an all powerful magical artifact. funny though, now she's saved the team with that arrow twice.

I really appreciate you answering fan questions, as there are really very few genius story writers who take the initiative connect with the fans. I have seen 'Terrors' and I want to know the ages of the terror twins and icicle jr. as I can't understand why he icicle jr. was taken to an adult prison when it already mentioned by batman that he was only 17 years old.And by the way awesome episode.

Hey Mr Weisman. Young Justice is a great show- thanks for putting so much time and effort into it to make so enjoyable! Now, we know that Zatanna is coming due to the solicts. How old is she? Thanks and I'm looking forward to the episode!

Keziah C writes...

Hi Greg, I've watched 'Homefront' twice now and it is absolutely my favourite episode of the series so far. Jon did a fabulous job writing it and all the voice acting and animations were brilliant.

First off, Artermis' character development was brilliant, I already liked her before as the 'badass girl' on the team but now we've seen that underneath all that she is just a teenage girl with her own fears. We also see that she really does care for her team-mates and her skill with her bow is AMAZING!! That shot she takes right at the end just left me going 'Wooooooaaaaaahhhhhhh'

Robin at the beginnning kept making me laugh with his cheekiness. That stunt with the camera was just too funny, as well as his little interrogation of Artemis when he meets her at the zeta-tube in Gotham (which hinted to me that he knows exactly who she is) And I loved how we see how good he is at what he does as well as how serious and mature he can be, it just proves that he is the most experienced and a badass ninja.

And smart Wally was a complete breath of fresh air! I love Wally, I really do (I love everybody) but sometimes his hyper and slightly obnoxious ways can get a little annoying since it can sometimes make him look like a complete idiot so it was great to see him speak techno-babble and show off his intelligence for once.

I just have one question, will the apparant lack of concern over Kaldur's wellbeing be adressed? It came up in Bereft when Megan flew off to save Superyboy instead of making sure a near-death Kaldur made it somewhere where he could be treated and again in Homefront when only he mentions the fact that he could also die from the fire-cage. I know that it Bereft Wally, Robin and Artemis were concerned about Kaldur but this episode made it seem as if he was getting a little overlooked.

Once again, great episode and I can't wait to see the rest!

Hey Greg. I was re-watching Targets and couldn't help but notice the use of actual firearms (you know, that fire bullets) it's awesome, because I know there are a lot of restrictions dealing with stuff like that on a kid orientated channel like CN. Did you have to ask for permission to use guns like that, or was it just given to you?

Also, in the comics Red Torpedo was a girl and Red Inferno a guy, but in Homefront the genders are swapped. Was there any particular reason behind this?

Keep up the good work!

Gothic-Cowboy writes...

Hello Mr. Weisman. Congratulations to you and the rest of the YJ crew on Home Front. I had a few questions I had hoped you'd be willing to answer.
1. In some versions, I know that Barbara Gordon has been presented as Jim Gordon's niece, whom he raised as his daughter. In other versions, she's his daughter biologically as well (In still others, she's Alfred's daughter, but it's best not to dwell there). Granted, she's Jim Gordon's daughter in every way that really counts in either version, but, for the record, could you clarify which is the case on Earth-16?
2. How would you characterize Dick and Barbara's interactions in general? Casual friendship? Surrogate siblings, to an extent?
3. Did Dick Grayson immediately debut as Robin, or did Batman make him undergo some sort of training program or evaluation before he'd take Dick with him?
4. I like Robin's gauntlet computer. Does Batman have something similar?
5. How old is Guardian?
6. How old is Alfred Pennyworth?
7. How old is Captain Atom (chronologically and biologically, if they're different)?
8. My apologies if this is asking too much, but can you confirm that the Earth-16 Captain Atom is not a sentient energy field in a containment suit? Bruce Timm and company seem unusually fond of presenting him as such, having done so in both JLU and the Superman/Batman: Public Enemies DTV. Don't get me wrong, I love every DC cartoon that's been produced (with the exception of Batman Beyond), but I've never understood why they did this. I mean, you've got a sentiest energy field that, since the word atom appears in his name, must, by Hollywood "logic," be just waiting to explode. What do we do? We send him into battle against people who are powerful enough to puncture that suit, and then act surprised when a city-sized area is suddenly in imminent danger. Sorry, I guess I've veered from my question somewhat (upon reflection, it's entirely possible that you didn't know about the whole sentient energy field thing).
Thank you for your time, Sir, and for everything else you do for the fans. Few writers make themselves available to the fandom as much as you do, and the vast majority of us greatly appreciate it, even if it sometimes probably feels like we're taking it for granted.

The Red Torpedo and the Red Inferno characters, were they your creations from the canceled Red Tornado mini that you were slated to write for DC?

Homefront

On this week's installment of "Young Justice," Robin and Artemis return after an extended absence. And it is a welcome return. At first glance, the plot of this episode seems like your standard "powerless heroes triumph over the odds story, but we get a lot more than that.

This episode excelled at two things: character moments and suspense.

For the first time since she appeared, we really got to know who Artemis is. We got to see passed her cocky attitude and saw some very reasonable and very human fears. Without backup, and when things got too hot for a normal human being to handle, she fell apart. I've seen the character getting some grief for this online, but be honest, I think in the face of such things, most of us would crack at least a little. And as the end shows, courage isn't a lack of fear; courage is doing what you have to do despite that fear. And act, she does.

We also saw more of her background and received confirmation that Cheshire is, indeed, Artemis' sister. I've suspected as much since "Infiltrator." And, not that I thought for one second she was, but there is no way at this point that Artemis is the traitor.

Now, not being a DC reader, all I know about Red Tornado is that he exists and he is a robot. I have never heard of these other two robots, but as has happened in previous episodes, we have seen another Xanatos Gambit take place. Red Tornado was obviously the true target, as The Light tried to reprogram him through Mr. Twister way back in "Welcome to Happy Harbor."

The action sequences were intense, and I loved the use of flames and water as effective weapons. Especially the flame thrower. While I did not care for the robots as villains much, their powers were effective and intimidating.

I also enjoyed that, despite being held captive, Kid Flash and Superboy were far from helpless, and participated in the victory. Too often in plots like this, the powerless heroes would do all the work and single-handedly save the day. As such, this was a nice change of pace.

And really cool to see a cameo by Barbara Gordon. I wonder if she's already Batgirl. Hopefully time will tell.

Blossom writes...

Hi! I loved "Home Front" to pieces, definitely the best episode so far. I just had a few questions:
1. Was Red Tornado always the mole or did some weird programming thing happen when the spark touched his finger?
2. In the beginning of th series, Robin was shown using his holographic computer on his left wrist, but during this episode he switched between both his wrists. Is it a glitch, or is he cool enough to access the computer from both gloves?
3. LOVED LOVED LOVED the Artemis flashback. So gladshe got some character development, but we will be seeing development for the other, too, right?
Either way, I can't wait for next Friday! I'm so hooked on this show!

Hello. I love Young Justice. I was most impressed with "Home Front". As you can tell I'm quite an Artemis fan. Just have a few questions if that's okay.
1. After Red Tornado came in, I was a little confused. I mean, once his eye sockets turned red, was he like hypnotized (sorry for my misspelling) or did he just do that on purpose.
2. So after what happened in "Terrors" and later on in "Home Front" is it acknowledged that Miss M and Superboy are dating now?
3. What was with that awkwardness between Robin and Artemis in Gotham. Was he on to her when he was questioning her, or what?
Thanks for your time.

Can you please send a massive THANK YOU to Jon - "Home Front" was definitely the best episode so far. And I love the fact that you guys are keeping the realism. I see so many movies or shows where in the midst of craziness and tragedy the characters act like not much is happening, but I think it was great when Artemis had her breakdown, because it just emphasises the fact that they are only teenagers but they have to deal with adult-like problems.
I've also really enjoyed issue 7 and 8 of the tie-in comics (you can probably guess which of the team is my favorite characters) - so awesome job on those too, but I'm curious (and not sure whether it counts as a spoiler or not), how old was Artemis when her sister left?
Also I'm not sure if this has been answered or not, but who came up with the idea of Robin playng with the english language? Because, whether it was you, Vietti or someone else on the team, they are a genius - I am forever whelmed.

Thanks for taking the time to read/answer!
