Hey Greg,

Sorry I haven't been keeping up with the "Young Justice" reviews. Work's been keeping me busy and frankly, there's only so many ways I can say "this is freaking awesome" before it gets old. Rest assured I've thouroghly enjoyed "Infiltrator","Denial" and "Downtime" and am eagerly awaiting more. Quick question though.

1) In "Downtime", Garth and Tula say that they haven't seen Kaldur in about two months. If he hasn't been back to Atlantis since he joined the team, then where has he been living?

Greg responds...

1. He's been to Atlantis. Just not Poseidonis. (I mean, think about it. That's like me saying I haven't been to Washington D.C. in two months, and you asking, "Gee, then if you haven't been living in the United States then where have you been living?" But I never said United States. I said Washington D.C. They don't equate.)

In any case, he lives at his HOME, which obviously is in a different Atlantean City. For more info on that, check out issue #5 of the Young Justice companion comic.

Hey Greg, great, great job on Downtime.
I've only got two for questions you today.
1.I've noticed there was no timestamp when it switched to Happy Harbor?
2.Please,tell me. Did miss Martian and Superboy share a kiss. Please tell me.

Greg responds...

1. We tend not to put a second time stamp when action is more or less continuous in one location and or we're intercutting between two locations and we've already stamped both once. And we had already stamped Mount Justice. And we were never actually IN Happy Harbor. (FYI, Mount Justice is right next to Happy Harbor, but it's not a legal part of the incorporated township, so we make a distinction between the two.)

2. By now, you have more information. Either way, I'll leave that to your interpretation.

Hello, Mr. Weisman. I had a few questions after watching Downtime.
1. Was the "Atlantean" lanquage derived from an existing lanquage, or was it invented wholecloth?
2. Topo's story speaks of Ocean Master, but Prince Orm was in the episode. I had always understood Ocean Master to be Aquaman's disgruntled half-brother. Is Ocean Master someone else on Earth-16?
3. Is Bruce Wayne at all concerned that Artemis might recognize that Dick Grayson is Robin while attending Gotham Academy? I realize that Clark Kent gets away with it, but neither the sunglasses nor the mask really covers all that much of Robin's face, and he doesn't put nearly as much effort into playacting the different roles as Clark does.
4. Who won the Bruce Wayne vs. Dick Grayson basketball showdown?

Greg responds...

1. "ASKED AND ANSWERED."

2. "ASKED AND ANSWERED."

3. How do you know?

4. I'll leave that to your imagination... mostly because I fundamentally don't care.

we saw Garth and Tula in Downtime, but will we ever see Lorena Marquez in the show as Aquagirl or as herself? Because Aqualad's counterpart in the Brightest Day had a crush on her.

this episode was soo jampacked with easter eggs and nods to future events i loved it
so here my questions
will any other episodes be filled like this to nods and easter eggs?
ocean master was mentioned and orm was still around? are they not the same person or this is a future story line u will go down?
i did like you didnt make him behind the attacks of what we know so far. since every time orm shows up in any aquaman related episode. atlantis under attack and tada the master mind is orm at the end. boring dont you say

Greg responds...

1. Depending on how you define "easter eggs"... they all are.

Hi Greg, I've got questions regarding the YJ episode "Downtime".

1.Were any Atlantis guards and Black Manta's men killed during the battle?

2.If yes to Q1, why did Aquaman only mentioned the injured guards and not the dead ones?

3.What foreign language was Aquaman and Aqualad speaking in this episode?

4.Was that Jeff Bennett voicing Alfred? if not who?

5.Was that really Patrick Warburton voicing that TV ad before Artemis' mum turns off the TV? It sounds like him. If not who?

PS: I really like the designs of Black Manta's men as well as their weapons.

Greg responds...

1. It seems to me I should leave that to audience interpretation.

2. Fair question.

3. Atlantean (which is a variant on ANCIENT Greek).

4. Yes.

5. No. I love Patrick's work, but I can't afford to hire him to read half a line of dialogue. I don't remember who read that one line, but it would have absolutely been someone who was already in the cast for that episode.

Will you show the critics of Aquaman by showing a why he is king and mentor to aqualad? I dont need specifics but i do want to know if you will and what you feel about these critics.

Greg responds...

I honestly don't know what you're talking about. What critics? Who else would mentor Aqualad?

Hey Greg,

This one's about High noon. Did Demona ever pay for that taxi? And if so, were did she keep her money? I mean, she was wearing her Gargoyle outfit after all.

Use your imagination.

Mary writes...

I wanted to say that I absolutely love Young Justice. I have a few questions.
1) Does Kid Flash know Robin's secret identity?
2) Are Robin and Kid Flash's back stories similar to the sort of traditional stories? (i.e. Dick's an orphaned circus acrobat taken in by Batman, Wally's Flash's nephew)
3) Are you going to explore all of the main characters back stories and how they became heroes?

Greg responds...

1. Yes.

2. Check out issues #5 and #6 of the new YOUNG JUSTICE companion comic from DC.

3. Ultimately, yes, in one medium or another.

Jeff writes...

First of all, many thanks for bringing us a great Spidey series. Just a few questions to put my mind at rest, as it bothers me to have my favorite stories left unfinished. Since the show is unfortunately canceled, I wanted to ask how would it have ended for the following characters.

1. Eddie/Venom (Would he have made peace with Peter: brothers again? Anything else?)
2. Gwen or MJ
3. Norman
4. Harry
5. Carnage: was he planned for an appearance?

Please I'd really appreciate if you can go into detail with these, especially first 3.

Greg responds...

As I've stated MANY times before, I don't see any advantage TO ME in vomiting out what my plans would have been absent the execution of said plans. All that accomplishes is to hold the ideas out for all sorts of second guessing.

Axe writes...

Was the change in Red Tornado's voice between episodes 3 (where he sounded robotic) and 7 (where he just sounded British) intentional?

Thanks for your time!

Greg responds...

There was NO change. We gave Jeff Bennett reference from episode 3 before he recorded episode 7 and to the best of all our experienced ears, he was doing the same voice. (So no British accent, period.) And in the mix, Audio Circus used the EXACT same technical effect on Jeff's voice in both episodes.

So I'm at a loss to explain why you felt they sounded different.

Hey Greg,

Ok so in Gargoyles the Archmage fell into that chasm in 984 and was supposed to die, but didn't. How was it possible for him to save himself? I understand the "future Archmage" came and saved himself in 984, but the Archmage from 984 must have conjured his future incarnation to begin with while he was falling down that chasm, I'm I close? Thanks!!!

Greg responds...

No, you're not. Didn't you JUST ask this question recently? If not you, someone else did. Anyway, "ASKED AND ANSWERED." Check the archives.

I found a cel on Live Auction (it came up in a Google image search for Angela)that shows Thailog with a gun and carrying an unconscious Demona. It said it was from Sanctuary, but I didn't see that scene there or in other guides. Which episode is it from?

Greg responds...

It sounds like it's indeed from "Sanctuary". But without seeing it, I can't be sure. Even if I did see it, I STILL might not be sure.

Tiffany writes...

I'm trying to find out which episode this part I remember comes from. In 1996 I saw part of an episode where Angela and Goliath were chained to the wall in a dungeon or metal room. The shackles were overhead and bolted into the wall, like the ones Doyle's men used on Lexington in Ransom. They were struggling when Elisa ran in and hit a button or switch that released them. "But we weren't able to leave," Goliath remarked. Do you know which episode this is? I've tried looking up guides, but I still haven't been able to find it.

Greg responds...

It's not immediately ringing a bell. It frankly sounds a bit like "Double Jeopardy", but Angela wasn't in that. If it came from Goliath Chronicles (as "Ransom" did), I'm not likely to remember something I wasn't involved in and only saw once back in 1996 or 1997.

My best advice is to ask fellow fans in the Station 8 Comment Room: http://www.s8.org/gargoyles/comment/

I really enjoyed "Denial" as I had been unfamiliar with the character of Klarion the Witchboy until that episode aired. Will we get to see more/learn more about him later on?

I realize this may have been answered before, but would the manhattan clan be tolerant of homosexuality? What about other clans?

Hi Greg!
If you saw it how did you feel about Captain Atom and Eiling's portrayals on JLU?

Greg responds...

I saw one episode with Captain Atom. His powers seemed slightly different from when I wrote the comic, but every series has to adapt. I haven't seen Eiling. At least, I don't think so.

Hello Greg,
Just a musing/ question based on a post of Matt's

<Matt writes...

3. Aside from Hudson, were any of True and "Kermit"'s rookery parents still alive as of 997?
Thanks, Greg!
Greg responds...

3. Potentially.>

My question is this...
Hudson hatched in 878. So as of 997 most of the surviving members of his rookery would be pushing the bio equivalent of 60.

So it stands to reason that the 898 and potentially the 918 rookery generations may also have had eggs lain in 968 resulting in the 978 gen.

Take the Wyvern Cell as our place holder here. We see Second and Sacrifice ( whom we can assume they had there 2nd egg in the 998 rookery as there is a garg on Avalon who looks almost identical to Second)

So again, it stands to reason they wouldn't start breeding on Sacrifice's 2nd heat.
Same I suppose goes for Chomp and Chaw, they most likely had a kid in the 978 and 998 rookeries too.

Just a thought

Greg responds...

I'm afraid I'm not following you.

I was excited to hear that McDonalds was doing a Young Justice promotion but was sad when none of the female characters were included. I would think including a lead character like Artemis or M'Gann would be better promotion for the show than Black Mantra. Are you involved in any of these decisions?

Greg responds...

Nope. I definitely was bummed that Artemis and Miss Martian weren't included. Though I was thrilled they chose to do our show at all.

I'm sure you get a lot of these, but it's another Artemis question: You recently revealed that she is half-Vietnamese, and you have also stated that she is based on a character from the DC comics; my question is, is she also half-Vietnamese in the comics or was her origin changed for the purposes of the show?

Greg responds...

Depends what you assume you know about Paula Brooks' parents in the comics?

Does Vogel find Owen annoying at all? I would imagine someone would find their own clone rather irritating after a while.

Annoying and somewhat disturbing. Couldn't you tell?

Todd Jensen writes...

Inspired by your recent mention of Tuppence McIntyre (when you were discussing the Tuppence of the "Young Justice" comic book) and her helping you with research on early Scottish history for "Gargoyles":

The two stories in the second half of "Clan-Building", the Stone of Destiny tale and Brooklyn's first TimeDancer adventure, featured a lot of early Scottish history (including a few tidbits that hadn't made it into "City of Stone" and "Avalon Part One", such as the reconciliation of Gillecomgain's peasant origins in the cartoon with his being a kinsman of Macbeth in actual history). Did you get Tuppence's help for researching them again, or did you turn to other researchers this time? (I remember your mentioning having Kathy Pogge's help with the Stone of Destiny story.)

Greg responds...

The research for the comic was nearly all done by Kathy Pogge.
