I love anytime you guys throw fairly obscure characters into YJ, as I'm sure many others do. However, I adored the Blue Devil cameo in "Revelation"--his early comics were so funny and so much fun, and I think he's vastly overrated and has a very cool backstory. He had a similar silent cameo in JLU as well, but seeing him even without lines is cool.

Whose idea was it to throw him in? And actually, on a more general note, where do most of the ideas for using the lesser-known characters you come from? Is it usually more collaborative from the entire writers' room, or do people occasionally throw in their favorites every now and then (especially in bigger fight scenes like "Revelation" where you could feasibly fit in any superhero you want)?

Again, thanks for being awesome!

Greg responds...

You think Blue Devil's "vastly overrated"?

It was my idea to throw him in, and I tend to be the one to pull in new characters (that is new-to-the-show pre-existing characters from the comics), though (a) that's not exclusively true and (b) I have help with research from John Wells.

And we can't just throw in any super-hero we want, because any super-hero we want needs to get designed by Phil Bourassa, and there are only so many hours in the day, you know?

Oh my goodness, so sorry (and feel free to not answer since I forgot to include it on the last one), but was the Injustice League's base modelled after the Legion of Doom's old HQ?

Greg responds...

ASKED AND ANSWERED.

Hi Greg! Loving the show so far, and just a few questions.

* Where was Wonder Woman in "Revelation"?
* And in the same episode, were the additional heroes helping out the League (Blue Devil, Icon, Plastic Man, ECT) meant to be members of the JLA's reserve roster or something? Or were they just random heroes?
* Was the use of Rocket and Icon meant as a nod to the late Dwayne McDuffie? Either way, I just wanna thank you so much for including them, as I know he'd be proud to see his work living on in some form.

Keep up the good work!

Greg responds...

1. Busy.

2. ASKED AND ANSWERED.

3. Dwayne was still alive when we began work on the episode. They weren't a specific tribute to him. Though of course, I was and am a huge fan of Dwayne's work.

Hi Greg!
First off, I absolutely LOVE Young Justice. Me and my little sister are addicted to it. It's possibly the best animated show ever, and there's only 14 episodes out! I just have one question, really:
In Bialya, when the patrol leader shouted in Arabic when Robin appeared, he said "Her Majesty wants him alive!". Does this mean that they only wanted Robin, specifically, or did they just want the team in general?
Thanks!!

Greg responds...

ASKED AND ANSWERED.

Come on, folks, check the queue ahead of you. You're just slowing the whole process down for everyone when you repeat a question already asked!

is Artemis and Kid Flash's "relationship" going to be explored?

Greg responds...

<sigh> NO COMMENT.

(But seriously, what do you think?)

Dear Greg,

I was so thrilled when I saw the Brain and M. Mallah show up in "Alpha Male", but was bummed when I realized Mallah wasn't speaking. I optimistically chalked it up to him being too angry for words and not wanting to give away any plans. But then Ultra Humanite didn't speak in "Revelation", either. Can these characters talk in Earth-16?

Greg responds...

NO COMMENT.

Thank you for being Klarion back in episode 14! I was wondering if he would come back, and I hope we'll see him fight Doctor Fate again. :)

Questions
1) How old is Klarion? He said "Order went out in the 19th century", so I'm curious if he is a teenager on Earth, or much older than that. Well, how old is he on his dimension and how old is he on Earth?

2) How tall is Klarion, and how much does he weight? (If you don't know, don't care about this one...you can just put NO COMMENT, I'll understand) The reason why I asked is because he looks very very skinny, too skinny.

3) Does Klarion have to eat/sleep? Or is he just immune to those things since he's in another dimension?

4) Does Klarion have any ounce of good in him, or is he just all evil?

5) How does someone become Lord of Chaos, or Lord of Order? Are they just like that, or what exactly?

I know that's a lot of questions, but if you could answer a few I would be very appreciative!!! Thank you for the wonderful show! :)

Greg responds...

1. Klarion in our series is a Lord of Chaos. He is Chaos personified. He has no age.

1a. He has no dimension per se, where he has a concrete age. He's a concept.

1b. Ageless.

2. Yeah, no comment. I assume its variable anyway.

3. He feeds off chaos.

4. He's neither good nor evil in a classic sense. He's chaotic.

5. He just is.

So, how much time does Robin spend recording himself laughing for all his tech? Or does he just have a set recording?

Greg responds...

Huh?

Hi Greg,
Thank you so much for making Young Justice, I look forward to watching it every week! I love how every episode is consistent in quality and there is never any filler. Every episode effects the next in some form.

One question I have is if Sphere will ever be allowed to accompany Superboy on missions. Why does he allow Wolf to but not Sphere, Sphere was able to save Superboy in "Bereft".

Greg responds...

Stay tuned.

I read this on the Young Justice Wiki:

1 - "Savage bears a scar that resembles the signature mark of the Hunters from Gargoyles, another of Greg Weisman's production."

2 - "Queen Bee is voiced by Marina Sirtis, best known for her work as Demona, from Gargoyles, another of Greg Weisman's production. Queen Bee dons a veil around her shoulders, reminiscing Demona's wings when furled. She also wears a gold armband similar to the one that Demona used on her left arm, and a golden diadem that resembles Demona's headpiece."

was this a conscious nod to Gargoyles? who's idea was it?

Greg responds...

Neither were, actually. Phil Bourassa designed both characters, and if he was inspired by Gargoyles - a show he didn't work on - I'd be very surprised.

These are coincidences. Fun coincidences, I suppose, but just coincidences.
