I know character development is important here and at times we all seem impatient but why is Superman ...SUPERMAN...of all people being unable to extend even a few words to Superboy? While I expect it to be awkward and a little creepy for him, we are only subjected to seeing Clark come off like a bit of a jerk. And it is so unfair to the character when he is not like that at all! You have people going on that Superman is a d**k and I am like, he's not! You didn't even put a scene showing Clark's internal struggle as if to show well yes we can see ambivalence but show there is something more. That he can show some innate compassion even for a clone. And of course Batman as usual is the best at everything...best leader, best mentor, best father, has the best protege who will leader...the Batworship in Timmverse was so blatant it got pretty aggravating for me as a fan of Superman, Aquaman, Martian Manhunter, even Wonder Woman,...as if these heroes were just stupid and usually OOC. I mean I like Batman too but not at the expense of the rest of the League.

I am hoping this show would try to be more balanced and treat every hero with respect and be true to their character. I am hoping the Superman/Superboy thing is resolved with some dignity and not dragged on and on cause we must have someone act like a jerk and let it be Superman. sigh

Mr. Weisman I've been a fan of Gargoyles for years now and just recently came back to check up on things here at S8. I heard about your latest YJ project and have started watching. just wondered if you can devulge if Catwoman might appear in the series somewhere down the road. I've always been a fan of Catwoman and Batman.

Big fan... you heard it all before yada yada moving on

I noticed something in the video where you and Brandon Vietti discuss what to expect from Young Justice (the one where you said in the end not everyone will survive), one of the clips shows Aquaman with longer hair than he has on the show right now, am I right to assume that as time passes some characters appearances might change, or was the design changed or something?

Can you define your idea of true sentience?
Greg responds...
Probably not. But I'd start with Descarte...
If you can say "I think therefore I am" and grapple with its meaning, as opposed to its mere pronunciation...
Well, that's a starting point.

I wont say it isnt painful to read people that still thinks positivly about Descarte and his ideas toward other forms of life. Animals may not think the way we humans do, but they still do. Descarte also said that animals seemed to suffer pain, but they didnt. You agree on that too?

Im sorry, but it was painfull to read this considering what gargoyles represented for me when I was growing up.

Do the titles of the YJ episodes have any hidden/double meaning like they did in Spider-Man? Or are they chosen merely to reference subtle plot points.

I get the references of the titles "Independence Day" and "Fireworks," as they literally allude to the American holiday in which the episodes take place and also the fact that the sidekicks become "independent" from their mentors. However, I'm missing the possible references of the other episodes, as they seem to be too literal.

Will the incorrect timestamps from "Drop-Zone" be fixed for a probable DVD release? I'm assuming there will be one, seeing as most (if not all) DC Comics animated shows are out on DVD.

How old is Batman? and Will we see the Joker make an appearance on Young Justice?

Do gargoyles have the same nudity taboos that humans have? I know that Demona cannot go around bare breasted like Goliath does for obvious reasons of cultural modesty in the real world. But what about within the universe of the show?

Lionel writes...

In the pilot, Superboy stated that he had learned to read and write from the other Genomorphs. He also said "there are images implanted in my mind." But in "Drop Zone", he warns the team of both smoke and an approaching helicopter by smell and sound alone. How did he recognize them?

Mike writes...

Now that Batman Beyond is officially part of the DC comics universe, are you allowed to use him in YJ (assuming there was a time-travel episode)? Do you have any interest in including Terry or other characters who exist in the future, like the Legion, at some point?

i have a serious question if Macbeth dies of a natural cause like a heart attack or something does that mean Deamona dies as well from it?

Please forgive me if the following questions were asked.
1. What was your comment on the video game Spider-Man Shattered Dimensions? How did you like that they used some of the actors from Spectacular which were Josh Keaton, Thomas F. Wilson, Jim Cummings, Steven Blum, and John Dimaggio (not sure if I spelled that right)?
2. I know you don't like to answer questions about future plans for Spectacular, but did you pick any actors for Scorpion and Hobgoblin?
3. Did you know that a few of your ideas were taken from the 1994 Spider-Man cartoon? Such as the symbiote coming from John Jameson's space shuttle. Although TAS used a space shuttle crash instead. Another example is Vulture going after Norman Osborn in his first appearance. Another is Spidey hanging upside down and looking at the black suit at a tall building.
4. When you look at the Spectacular Spider-Man, do you believe that you have done a good job for the show?
5. What is your view on the Scarlet Spider? Would he have been worthy of being in the Spectacular Spider-Man if given the chance?
That's all I have for you. Please make the DVD company that makes the DVDs for Spectacular Spidey make a complete season 2 DVD. That would be greatly appreciated.
Your fan,
Chris

Hello. Just one question. In Young Justice, if we see Wonder Girl, based upon the timeline you have now (so this could, concievably, change), are we more likely to see Donna Troy (Wonder Woman's sister and the original Wonder Girl) or Cassie Sandsmark (Superboy's girlfriend and daughter of Zeus)? This is just asking for an estimation, not a guarantee, and I recognize that we could, concievably, not have Wonder Girl at all, but I'm curious.

Dear Greg,
I wanted to wait for the credits list before I posted on the past 2 episodes (to make sure I get my facts and names straight). Kudos to you and the crew on two more great episodes. I love how so far the primary villains have all been relatively obscure to non-comic readers (most people know Bane, but not Mr. Twister or Sportsmaster) and have been done spectacularly. I also enjoyed Bane, very nice casting on him, and I love how you write him as a competent leader and not just dumb muscle. And I am becoming more interested in "The Light". I believe I know one of the members now, and I cant wait to see what else you do.
On to a question I had; I was going through my old issues of Young Justice and realized I really like how they used Red Tornado's daughter Traya in there and how YJ was essentially her crazy babysitters. Will we get to see Traya at some point on the show?
Anyway, once again, great job, and pass my kudos to the cast and crew.

Jack

Dear Greg,
When is season 2 of the Spectacular Spider-Man coming out on DVD? I've been patient for like a month after the volume 8 DVD was released. Now I can't wait any longer! Please try to make the company that makes the DVDs make them make season 2 of TSSM. Please?
From,
Alan

dear greg,

enough with the "whelmed", "turbed", and "concerted" running gag. once is happenstance. twice is coincidence. three times is just plain annoying.

Hey Mr. Weisman, love your work! First and foremost, thanks a ton for taking the time to answer the many questions of us crazed fans, I haven't heard of many who care enough to do this. Secondly, congrats and best of luck on Young Justice, it looks like it has just tons of potential, and I look forward to seeing more.

My quick question is a pretty insignificant one I suppose, but for some reason it's always bugged me (I apologize if it's been asked already, I checked the archives and searched). In the Spectacular Spider-Man episode 'Catalysts', there's a bit where Spidey's web-shooters run out, and he reloads one of them during free-fall. After this, t first it seems like he's going to be, understandably, shooting webbing only from the one he reloaded, but then he can be clearly seen firing web from both web-shooters, even when he has only reloaded one. Was this merely an animation goof, or was there a specific reason?

Hi, Greg.

I was reading through the Stone of Destiny arc the other day, and I found something that caught my eye. In the series, I remember Arthur Pendragon's eyes being blue. But in the comic, they're brown. Was this a coloring error (like Shari's missing pants, page 3 of #9 XD), or did you decide to change the color?

Thank you for your time! :)

I'm really enjoying Young Justice so far, and being a long-time fan of your work since Gargoyles, I'm anticipating even more good things from the show in the future.

That said, I have just one point to ask about. (Two questions though.)
Miss Martian seems to have acquired a bit of a catch phrase in the form of "Hello Megan!". In all honesty, it's a bit of turn off that the only significant female presence if being presented in a way that makes her seem, well a bit air-headed. Is that impression intentional? And can we expect that to change in the future?

Thank you for your time. I'm loving absolutely everything else.

Hello
First I should thank you, as your work brought me a lot of enjoyment. I love how each of your show has really different feel, yet I can recognize easily your hand (mostly by your great attention to detail) will soon have some questions/comments on Young Justice but I made a rule, to first watch 5 episodes of show before I form my judgment. Nevertheless I have a few general questions. They mostly centre on art of writing, and I’m well aware that there is no easy, universal solution, and it’s not possible to describe process of creating story and pinpoint exact methods. . I write only as a hobby (mostly short stories and RPG scenarios) and understand that the same way I could not easily give you pointers within my area of expertise you cannot give them to me. Still, I can hope for example of thinking and designing steps in specific problems.
1.When you design a character that is clearly smarter and more cunning than other characters and more importantly than you, how do you show his intellect. When I just assume that he is so capable that he just predicts every action of other characters and wins every intellectual struggle he seems fake. Yet I cannot explain his way of thinking because I’m not capable of being so smart myself. Currently I use assume that character is able to think the same way I do but much faster (something took me a day to solve it and he/she will be able to do it in a few minutes). What would you say about it?
2.When you create a series do you prepare basic “spine” from begging to end or do you create few scripts and wait for reaction of audience or just simply have new ideas. Basically the question here is, how much do think about main plot in advance and how much author should be attached to his original ideas
3.Does that that kind of question bothers you? Do you have anything about similar questions in the future?
Thank you for your time. I know I can't write a short letter to save my life.
Regards,
Niedzwiedz

Kudos to whomever came up with the idea for Miss Martian's ship. I was just wondering, did the idea for her Martian ship come from Wonder Woman's infamous(ly mocked) Invisible Plane, or the old Martian fighter jet that Martian Manhunter briefly had in the 90's?

Why did Superman shun Superboy? Superman's greatest power is supposed to be his empathy. Why didn't he embrace Superboy?

That scene was severely out of character for Superman and contradicts over seventy years of Superman stories.
