Hello, Mr. Greg Weisman,

I'm back with posting #9. I wasn't able to post yesterday (the day before this posting) because I had a technical issue and wasn't able to use the internet. But now I am able to today. Here's my new set of questions.

1. I was wondering if you could tell me what the specifics of each part of Earth-16 Batman’s batsuit are? This question was inspired by watching the Christopher Nolan film Batman Begins and its sequel, The Dark Knight. These two movies did a great job in explaining/showing the functions of each part of Batman’s suit (the gloves, the cape, the suit, the belt, the gauntlets, etc.). If you’ve ever watched these two movies, you probably have a vague idea on what I’m trying to say. Also, could you tell me whether this is Batman’s only batsuit on Earth-16, or does he have more than one?

2. If Billy Baston is depicted as 10 years old, THEN when he transforms into Captain Marvel, what is the EXACT age difference between his adult and child form? An exact number for his adult age would actually be extremely helpful at this point.

3. Where did you come up with the idea to allow Captain Marvel to hug Batman and Zatara? Has he ever done that before…? But seriously, that was downright funny, and I laughed like mad! Just for fun, when Captain Marvel gave the hug, what were Batman and Zatara thinking at that very moment?

4. When exactly did Wonder Woman decided to leave the island of Themyscira, and what important events happened to her between that time and 2003?

5. I am a person who believes that when I see things that may have something in common with another, there are absolutely no coincidences. First, in the DC relaunch, the first Justice League story arc established that in 2006 (chronologically in the mainstream DCnU), Darkseid invaded Earth (because he was searching for his daughter at that time). Second, it has been revealed via information on the internet about one of the new DC relaunch titles, “Earth Two,” which is coming in May, that the parallel Earth-2 (which is much different from before the DC relaunch) was known to have been under threat by Apokolips (and not necessarily by Darkseid himself). Third, we have Young Justice: Invasion, which is the second season of the cartoon series that you announced a long time ago, that has our main characters needing to prepare to fight against an invasion. Is there some common theme that I am seeing?! Is Earth-16 going to be under threat by the upcoming Apokolips?! Or is it just my imagination…? Your response will hopefully help to tell me how accurate I am.

Thanks for taking the time to read my questions. As always, keep up the good work.

So, I know that this is right before yet another episode, but, I just had to come say stuff.

You have two episodes that have simply blown my face off. Failsafe (my brain practically melted out of my head, I was so amazed) and Misplaced (I can't even describe my feelings for this episode). That doesn't happen very often from an animated show.

I really adore how you all have been portraying the teen/adult dynamic. It's not the cliche rebellious teens vs. overly righteous and/or idiotic adults, but it's much more...realistic. Well, as realistic as supers can be. You all do such an excellent job of getting into a teenage mindset, and that really impresses me.

M'gann, from what I can tell, either gets a lot of hate, or a lot of love. Personally, I was in the gray area, not quite sure if I liked her being around, or what. I knew I liked her "Hello, Megan!" catch phrase, and I liked that she based a lot of her knowledge off of tv (makes sense). But, now that we've seen more of her, I've come to really appreciate her as a character. She's got her reasons for her personality, and, sure, she's got some naivety, but she's also not a weak damsel in distress - and you all manage to pull that last bit off without making her come across as masculine! Which I love.

Artemis is kind of a big deal to me. I generally hate female characters like her. The strong, tough-girl who doesn't need anyone's help because she can do this, and has a major attitude. So, yes, I was less than thrilled when Artemis was introduced. But, like with M'gann, more came along, and ya'll showed up with little moments (I really warmed up to her from that one little scene in Downtime), and then a bit of her back story, and all of the sudden, Artemis' whole demeanor had meaning, and I was able to connect, understand, and love her character.

Everyone else I pretty much loved first off (big Batman fan - oh, yeah, your Batman series? My favorite. FYI. - so, Robin had no need to wiggle his way into my heart).

I also love how easily you all eased Zatanna into being a regular and new teammate (I'm assuming. I think it's safe to assume such things at this point). I didn't want her part of the team at first, but you all did such a fantastic job at giving her more time with the team, and more screen-time, that, I rather like having her around, now.

So, yeah. Thanks, well done, do more goodness. I hope to have my face blown off, and my brain melted out of my head again. Go tell everyone that they're my favorites. Yourself included.

Hi Greg,
I was just wondering, what happened to all the newborn babies and children in airplanes and automobiles and what not, when the adults disappeared in "Misplaced"? That's a lot of kids/babies. If they all died, how is the world responding to this tragedy?

First of all, I LOVED the last episode of Young Justice, I even teared up some at the end! But it got me wondering, do Batman and Robin have a good relationship on Earth 16? I mean, we saw them play basketball and that was sweet, but we haven't seen anything else! They completely ignored each other in Misplaced! So, I guess what I'm asking is if they have a father/son relationship or if it's more like a mentor/sidekick relationship?
Awesome series, btw, can't wait for more!! :)

Anonymous writes...

One other question that needs asking.

1. Why did you make Ma'alefa'ak the name of a type of Martian animal instead of Martian Manhunter's evil twin brother like in the mainstream comics? I mean, I know he was responsible for the Martian genocide which you took out, but he was awesome on "Justice League: Doom" and he could be used for another important role on Earth-16.

Kerry Johnson writes...

Hi Greg, I'm a big fan of your work and the artwork done by Phil Bourassa (hope I spelled that right) for Young Justice. I'm excited for Cold Hearted and I'm still freaking out over the end of Misplaced, but I have a question about Klarion's magic circle. Why is it that none of the wizards he summoned were not surprised by being summoned to an island by a Lord of Chaos? The episode was amazing, but that just seems a little surprising that none of them didn't at least jut look around for a second with a WTF look.

Sherry writes...

Hi, Greg! :) Me and my family love this show. I talk about it all the time during shcool. All the heroes you show in Young Justice had convinsed me to buy my first comic book (the new 52 made it really easier, though!!!) Thank you for answering these questions and um I'm really really sorry if these questions are too spoiler-ish or if they have been answered before...

1. To my wiki knowledge, I don't think Megan has ever been with Superboy. Or Wally with Artemis. What made you choose these two people to go together. Basically, what made you decide on the pairings?

2. Does Artemis have a mentor bond with Green Arrow, or is the niese thing just a cover and that's it?

3. Were the main team's personalities made just for the show or were they influensced by the comics? Because I googled Superboy once and he was shown to be really outgoing and cheerful, which surprised me.

4. Captain Marvel shocked me when he transformed into a kid maybe even younger than me1! He's so cool. But when I searched his name in wiki, it said he has a twin sister and a lot of sidekicks and goes to an orphanage school (thats so sad!). In the show, though, he lives with an uncle(?) I think. So, um, where is Captain Marvel timeline-wise? Was this when he was already adopted and before he found his sister?

Thank you very much for your time!

Neerb writes...

Recently DC has announced that, due to what I assume are years of legal issues, they are going to stop calling Billy Batson's alter-ego "Captain Marvel" in the comics and call him "Shazam" instead. Now, if this were any other New 52 issue such as "Will any new Teen Titans appear in Young Justice," I wouldn't even bother asking because of how obviously spoiler-ific it is. However, for this particular subject, I can't help but wonder: Will Captain Marvel's name be changed to Shazam for the show? Would DC let you keep his old name even if you wanted to?

crisy writes...

Hi Greg!
In Revelation and Failsafe, and later on Disordered, Wally seems to grow a bit closer to Artemis. Yet, they haven't had any interaction at all after episode 17 (just that bit on Misplaced about Teeklr), and it's like nothing ever happened. In fact, Wally is back to flirting with M'gann and all. So, I was wondering if you could say why he's acting like Failsafe never happened (without spoiling anything of course). Thanks in advance!

Carter writes...

Hey Greg! Just here with a few questions

1) Are the YJ comics more of a way to explain the events during/in between the shows to the viewers. Things that may not have been mentioned or clear enough. OR would you say they serve as more of a way to get information and story lines out there in order to base future episodes off of them? maybe both? just curious.

2) Do you ever get annoyed by the questions, responses and posts that fans put out there? ex. heated (and occasionally baseless) fan pairing wars, "hating" on particular characters, ect.

3) this may seem silly to ask, but do you have a favorite character amongst the group? or one that you find the most interesting

4) It is always fun to guess at new characters and appearances on the show, but do you ever worry that too big of a group will take away from the development of each individual character?

kitcass writes...

hey Greg!
i think its great that you let fans ask questions, especially since you must get frustrated when fans go and ask the same questions over and over, so i checked and double checked the archives before asking this, but if its a repeat, i apologize.

1)in many comic books, more adult like topics are discussed. (ie: child abuse, drug abuse, pregnancy)and i know you have cleared the subject of Wally's child abuse multiple times, but are such topics allowed to be discussed at such a children oriented network?

2) I've heard of other comics books and shows that the public in that such universe is convinced that superheroes don't have secret identities, is that true of earth-16?

3)in the most recent episode, it was shown captain marvel saying Shazam! and transferring to the adult universe, and rescuing his pilot. i assume that the lightning that struck him destroyed the plane, but did the lightning not affect Amber, or did she somehow fall out of the plane beforehand?

thanks for taking the time to answer these :)

Hey, Mr. Greg Weisman,

I made a mistake on my last posting. That last one was actually my sixth posting, not my fifth. The one I’m doing now is my seventh posting.

I’ve got a quick interesting question I need to ask you. Has a prequel movie (which would probably focus on the Justice League, with the sidekicks in a minor role) ever been considered by your team to help lead into the beginning of the events of Season One, or to help connect the plot elements of Seasons One and Two?

Thanks for taking the time to read this question. Hope to find out how you will respond. Oh, I almost forgot, on my fifth posting, the one I did last night with the list of names, Wizard’s first name was misspelled. I meant to say William, not Willaim.

Hi Question about Kid Flash and Artemis:

What were they doing together that they walked in together in the beginning of "Revelation"?

Anonymous writes...

1. Going off from what someone previously asked, can Artemis speak as many languages as her father and sister?
2. I was just wondering, do you think that in general Artemis is confident in most social situations, or more shy/awkward?
3. How would you describe Artemis' relationship with Roy presently?
4. Who is Artemis' closest to on the team?

Anonymous writes...

The entire team (except Artemis)saw how Wally reacted to Artemis' death in the simulation in "Failsafe." It would be apparent to all of them that Wally wouldn't have reacted that way unless he had very strong feelings for Artemis. Black Canary found out about it. So, isn't it reasonable to think that someone on the team told Artemis about Wally's reaction to her death and that Artemis would realize how Wally feels about her?

Hey Greg!

I recently saw this line from an interview with Steven Bochco in the early 80's, talking about Hill Street Blues (which currently has its first two-and-a-half seasons on Hulu Plus, by the way):

"Maybe the biggest problem with Hill Street, in terms of popular success, is that it is a show that demands to be watched. And most people do not watch television. They simply are in its presence."

I love that quote. What an insightful way to encapsulate about what was essential and great about Hill Street Blues, without going into all the details of what made it so outstanding. Just leave at this: unlike nearly anything before it, in many ways it was a show that demanded to be watched. I think that characteristic also applies to Gargoyles as well, no doubt due to the major influence Hill Street Blues had on the show (as you've often mentioned).

Nowadays, that quality, of being a show that "demands to be watched," is characteristic of so many excellent shows that appear on HBO, Showtime or AMC (before hitting DVD boxsets and iTunes), places where popular success isn't the one and only yardstick. And again and again, we've seen how this kind of series can flourish in the atmosphere of creative freedom offered by these outlets.

Can viewers hope that someday soon, that kind of environment will produce an animated serial drama that has the same level of quality, complexity and acclaim as these channels' current headline series? If so, what might it take for that to happen?

Caterina writes...

I know this is all about the young heroes but will Batman and Wonder Woman have any interaction?

Does Zatanna like Robin the way he likes her? Because she was ok with his flirting but I don't see a big connection with them.

I didn't mean to disrespect Aquaman in my last post. I didn't mean that he was less of an effective hero it is just refreshing that the other members of the league are not so overpowered that they make him look weak in comparison. I would also like to thank you for having YJ updates. It is a very interesting way for fans to look at the production process of animation so keep it up!

Kevin writes...

1. In Misplaced I noticed that Wotan's magic was red when it was orange in Revelation. Not to nitpick but was he harnessing the power of chaos instead of the magic he normally uses?
2. When Martian Manhunter uses telekinesis to enhance his strength is he the same level as some of the heavy hitters of the league or is he closer to Aquaman's strength level? I don't like to ask who is stronger then who I am just trying to find out what is Aquaman's combat prowess in the league is.
3. What were the Pentagram symbols in Misplaced based on?

Ryan writes...

I am really off my game in asking questions or writing them anyway. Why is it that when Wotan casts magic some of it is nonverbal and other times he uses Latin to cast them?(SUCCESS!) For example in Revelation he summons lightning against the team without speaking, but when he fights Doctor Fate he uses several incantations.

Lydia writes...

Hey,
Just wanted to put it out there. I thought it interesting that although Zatanna and Zatara are probably Catholic, they practice magic. If you want to get technical, the Catholic Church is against the use of magic. (I am Catholic)
But I know this is a fictional story, so the rules can probably be bent a bit :)
Keep up the good work! Love the series!

First, I just have to say this is most definitely the best DCAU show since Justice League Unlimited finished. There's something in it for everybody; there's just two questions I've got for you...

1) Is Wally eventually going to learn to be more imaginative with his powers? When they amount to being able to "Run really, really fast", it's really easy for him to turn into just another comic relief.

On another note, I really like what you're doing so far with Superman being extremely awkward around Superboy and so far being a terrible role model... it kind-of really fits him, IMO. And, on a related note to that, my second question: Are we ever going to see the Kents in this show?

Hi Greg,
In “Targets” the peace conferences or negotiations between North and South Rhelasia were being held in Taipei. However, few countries â€"and no countries in Asia- have diplomatic relations with Taiwan (the Republic of China) due to pressure from mainland China (the People’s Republic of China). And since I’m pretty sure the Rhelasias would have to have diplomatic relations with the ROC in order to hold the talks there, I was wondering if this was accounted for while writing the episode. Were these politics considered?

Of course, this isn’t really important to the episode and you can always just say that on Earth 16 the ROC has wide diplomatic recognition.

I also noticed that Taipei has been used for several scenes since "Targets," most recently in "Misplaced" when the team is broadcasting a message to the children of the world. Was Taipei used again to create a sense of resonance between episodes? Was it so you could reuse some material -such as a background- to keep the budget down? Or for a different reason entirely?

Thanks

Wow! I can't believe I finally got in at the right time! I live in Australia, so I can never post a question...unless it is at a time like this...when our two times just happen to be perfect!

First off, I would just like to say; I love Young Justice. I know you must get that a lot, but I truly am obsessed! So obsessed, I have even managed to obsess several of my friends! To the point of obsession, that my parents worry, and that's saying something.

The long awaited episode 19 was remarkable! I loved the story line/plot, and everything was just great! As usual, of course! :)

I don't want to trigger spoilers of anything of the sort, and I've scoured the archive sin search of my questions...but, hopefully this question hasn't been asked.

1. When will Wally West get his cast off? I aplogize if this is a spoiler, but It was just a wonder.

2. In the comics, don't the Flashes all pretty much have super healing? If so...why doesn't Wally in the show? If he did, wouldn't his cast be off already?

3. I read the summary for Episode 20. And. WALLY WEST (my fave character) IS GONNA BE 16...which means...he'll be just that more awesome. Really, trying to get to the point, what will the date for his birthday be? The last episode finished sometime in November (though i forget when *face-palm*). Or is this one of these obviously, wait and see questions?

4. I read that the last episode of Season 1 (Auld Acquaintance) will have the date of December 31st! Is this true?

5. What style of art is the show drawn in? Or, how would you describe the style of art?

I seriously, have like a list of a hundred things I'd like to ask you...but, you're a busy man! So i'll let you move on! Maybe next time?

I understand If you can't answer the questions. I would hate for the show to be spoilt too! One of the pluses of living down under- it takes hours to find out info about the show- most of which Is from random sites and is never true! Its one huge, randomistic (? I am aware this isn't a word) adventure!

Dear sir, I love the interactions between the characters and the friendship that the team displays. I especially love Dick and Wally's chemistry, they were my favourite characters in the old comics, and their friendship has transcended many decades, reboots and adaptions. Dick and Wally haven't been seen together much in animated adaptions so it's great to see them as best buds again in YJ.

What I'd like to know, is if maybe an episode or tie-in comic issue will tell the story in detail of Wally, Dick, Kaldur and Roy's meeting eachother, and how they became friends?

Thanks for your time, and for considering my questions.

Harmony writes...

Dear Mr Weisman, first I'd like to congratulate you on creating such a fine piece of DC universe history. Young Justice is the finest cartoon I've seen in years, and the best DC Comics adaptation I've ever seen. I'd also like to thank you on having something like this Ask section. Few creators are patient enough and willing to deal with things like fan questions, especially when not all askers are pleasant people.

I'd like to ask a few questions. I hope the subject doesn't bother you.

1. Do Michael Jon Carter and Ted Kord exist in this universe?
2. If so, are we going to see them, even briefly as a cameo in the same way we saw Plastic Man and Guy Gardener?
3. If they exist, is Ted Kord still alive?

Thank you for taking the time to read my queries, sir.

Mr. Weisman, you've explained your rationale about Zatanna, but why is Barbara Gordon so young? In the original comics, she was in her twenties while Dick was a teenager. She was old enough to work as a librarian, a job which usually requires a college degree, and she was living independently. If nothing else, the fact that she was eventually elected to Congress demonstrates that she was at least twenty-five, since that's the Constitutional requirement for members of the House of Representatives. Is there a reason why she's so young in Earth-16?

Robby writes...

Hi Greg, thanks for taking your time to answers questions about your shows, im sure I speak for everyone when I say it's great to have that communication w someone who is in charge of something I love so much. I just have a couple quick questions for you, which hopefully havent been answered yet. I've seen you sort of touch them a bit but not a specific answer yet.

You say that you Chose Dick and Wally to join the Young Justice team because they were the first incarnations to don their respective titles. My question is, being that that's the case, what made you choose Kaldur to helm the title of Aqualad rather than Garth, who was the original in the comics? Was it based soley on a desire for diversity on the team, or was it because you wanted to elaborate on your orignal ideas for the character of Kaldur?

If it was a desire for diversity, I've noticed you used the Brain and Monsieur Mallah as villains in the show (who were gay in the comics). My question is would you consider putting a gay character on the TEAM roster? Maybe Bunker from the current teen titans lineup, or even creating a new one much like you did with Kaldur (whom I love).

hopefully I didn't come off arrogant, I just had to ask those, and tell you how much I love the show and hope it continues to thrive. keep up the good work!!

CGYJ writes...

Hello Mr. Weisman,

It's me once again. I've got a new set of questions that came up on my mind today.

1. After the Justice League was formed in 2003, what circumstances led the other nine members to join during the following seven years? I know you might not like to get into big details (or perhaps, there are details that you might have already given), but I’m interested to know because the circumstances were probably different for each member. Also, why were these particular heroes made official Justice League members and not anyone else? Hopefully, there should be an in-universe explanation for this.

2. You have mentioned that both Vandal Savage and Ra’s al Ghul were both heroes at one point in their lives, although I don’t what they did to be recognized as such. If that were true, then what exactly happened to make them walk away from that and become the villains that we, the fans, know in the present?

3. According to a response to someone’s posting, Hawkman and Hawkwoman’s names are Katar Hol and Shayera Thal respectively. Now assuming they reincarnate every time they die on Earth-16, shouldn’t their names be Carter Hall and Shiera Sanders Hall respectively in the present day or is there an in-universe explanation for the name change? Honestly, I think I might be getting myself confused here…

4. I’ve come to understand that the theme of Season One of Young Justice is about secrets and lies. I’ve also read the preview summaries of all the episodes that appear on the month of March. Based on everything I’ve read, am I correct to assume that The Team must overcome ALL secrets and lies they are keeping from each other in order to become stronger (both individually and as a team) and face whatever comes their way in the Season One Finale and in Season Two? You probably might not answer this question, but in my opinion, that is what I believe. What do you think about it?

5. Not including the legal reasons (or whatever reason you may have), is there an Earth-16 in-universe explanation as to why certain DC characters/teams will not/have not appeared on the show/comic? For example, is the in-universe reason a team such as Justice League International has not been established on Earth-16 because the original Justice League is a recent superhero team (lasting for seven years and still going), and therefore the United Nations would have no need for the establishment of the JLI because the circumstances normally involved in its establishment have not yet occurred?

Thanks for taking the time to read my questions. As always,keep up the good work, man!

Were the Wonder Twins in the list of teenage heroes you considered for the show?

Three questions representative of the split and merging of worlds in "Misplaced":

Where was Wolf? Was he on the world of adults, the world of kids, both, or neither?

When the worlds merged again, what happened to the airplane? Did it end up crashed in the ocean because it lost its pilot mid-flight, or is it still safely parked at the airport because it never took off?

If Zatarra had donned the Helm of Fate while the worlds were still split (and while Zatanna was wearing the helm in the world without grown-ups), would Nabu have ended up possessing both of them? And what would have happened when the worlds merged again?

Hi,just wanted to ask you a few questions about Wonder Woman.

1)When did she leave Themyscira?
2)When did she become Wonder Woman and start fighting crime?
3)Does she have a homebase city, and if she does, what city is it?

How long has Captain Marvel been a hero in the YJ universe?

I watched "Misplaced" yesterday morning and let me just say that it was simply awesome. I truly love Young Justice. Now, I have two questions about this episode:

1. When I saw Teekl transform into that huge saber-teeth behemoth, I expected Wolf to come down and attack. Seeing only Superboy face off with the cat didn't disappoint me, but it did leave me wondering about Wolf's wherabouts. Where was he and why didn't Conner bring him along?

2. So in one scene, Nabu seems to be losing his stability because the helmet has been split, and we know that since the item in question was shown to be present in both worlds. So just out of curiosity, what would have happened if someone in the adult's dimension had worn it and kept it on AFTER the two worlds merged back while Zatanna did the same?

Hi Greg,
I was wondering how much can be shared between your show and the WB DC direct to videos. For instance, as the movies "Justice League: Crisis on Two Earths" and "Justice League: Doom" share an executive producer and lead character designer with Young Justice, could you theoretically utilize character designs from those two movies? I imagine that even if you could, you would prefer to tailor unique versions for the show; but I'm curious what can be reused.

Hi Greg.

A couple of questions about Misplaced:
Nabu desired Zatanna as a host because of her youth and magical ability.
Zatara persuaded Nabu to take him instead with his comment that he was at his peak of ability. Would Nabu's ideal host be someone both young and powerful? As a Lord of Order, would a potential host's virtue or goodness make a difference in his decision? Do youth and virtue/goodness amplify Fate's power?

With Captain Marvel, I liked your emphasis on Billy and his qualities of intelligence, determination, bravery, and loyalty. Cap is a powerhouse, but has shown the playfulness and enthusiasm of a child, not to mention a love of junk food. Billy is a child that showed the maturity of an adult, not to mention a love of the ladies.
As Billy ages, can the Wisdom of Solomon and Courage of Achilles bridge the gap between him and his alter ego? In other words, could those gifts somehow carry over to Billy without his transforming?

Thanks for taking my question.

Hi Greg,

I've been wondering about the inception of "Young Justice." Specifically, when was the show named? Was there any point at which it was "Untitled DC Animation Show" or was it "Young Justice" from the get-go? And did you choose the name "Young Justice," or was the project given to you with the name already in place?

Relatedly, did you consider at any point having The Team on the show be called "Young Justice," or was that always meant to just be the title of the show?

Thanks!

Okay, just curious about this based on suspicion? In the episode "Infiltrator", was the the cafe girl in the Wayne Tech building a n existing character?

RobinFan writes...

Hey, just wanted to say that that new episode was amazing! I watched it over and over aagin. I couldn't find many complaints about it. But one thing i wanted to ask was: at the end, some of the team reunited happily with their parents. They did not show Robin and Batman. :( could you maybe confirm if they had a talk or something that wasnt shown? Or is that too emotional for the big bad Bat? Also, were Robin and Artemis seriously injured in the fight? I mean, they were knocked out for most of it and when Robin woke up, he was holding his side and talking as if in pain. But back at the cave, they were both carrying boxes. Just wanted to know if their injuries were something we'll see/will effect them in the next ep (broken ribs etc.)
Thank you, and this is one of the best shows i have ever seen!

Someone already asked how old is Hawkman, so I'll ask:

How old is Hawkwoman?
How old is Felix Faust?
How old is Blackbriar Thorn?
How old is Wizard?

Also, what happened to the opening sequence in Misplaced?

Gracie writes...

Hi! I love Young Justice, and I'm glad it's finally back. I don't even mind waking up earlier on Saturdays than I normally would. I think it's especially wonderful how you can see Superboy's development through the little things he does, like smiling at the little kid with the Superman shirt. It's subtle, but it's noticeable enough to be very effective, and I think it's good that the extent of his development isn't all in the things he says.

I have a couple of questions, too.

It might be more obvious to someone who's read more comics than I have, but on Earth-16, is Black Canary Dinah Drake or Dinah Lance?

Also, I noticed that in Misplaced, the opening was shortened even more. That made me kind of sad, and I figure it wasn't your choice, but Cartoon Network's. Maybe because of the DC Nation shorts? I was wondering if you think it'll be a permanent thing, but I understand if you have no idea either.

Thanks! :D

hey :) :)
first off i want to thank you for all the great episodes of young justice. they are all so fantastic :)

i just have one quick question, right now how fast can kid flash run?

B writes...

I'm not asking if the backstory with Zatanna's mother is the same in Young Justice as it is in DC Comics, just asking if you're aware of what it is in DC Comics (i.e. that she's dead and was a witch named Sindella).

In "Misplaced" when in Paris the timezone said CEST, but Daylight Savings Time ends in France in October, not November. So shouldn't the timezone have been CET? Or do the nations on Earth-16 observe Daylight Savings at the same time?

Hi Greg! I just watched "Misplaced" and it was amazing!
When I first read the Synopsis I though of the Justice League Unlimited episode "Kid Stuff", but your take is so much more interesting; I particularly liked the twist in the middle with the dual realities.
Second, thanks for finally answering the question on the League knowledge of Billy's dual identity (I knew Batman knew!) and I admit I Was looking forward to the Team to find out Billy's real age, hopefully they will star treating him better.
Third: Poor Zatanna, I think it's worse when you have to mourn someone that isn't actually dead.
Fourth, I like Riddler look, pretty nice, and pretty low key compare to other versions, although I Will miss the Bowler Hat. And the Light has Starro now, gives me goosebumps.
And Finally the date: November 5th! That's my birthday! Lots of things seem to happen in my birthday (remember, remember, the 5th of November).
Anyway, thanks for an amazing episode, and I can't wait for what's next (I've read the synopses, You Are Amazing!)

Hello, Greg, I would first like to say you are doing a fantastic job on Young Justice, but I have a couple questions:
1) You have stated before that the Riddler is not in Arkham Asylum as he is not insane, is this your opinion on the character in general, or just the Earth-16 incarnation?
2) Why did you decide to start with such an enormous threat as The Light for the first season of YJ, where a single one if the leaders could easily be the big threat of the season on their own? This isn't a critque, just curiousity.

more of a comment. brilliant twist halfway through YJ's "misplaced"!

#1. First of all, misplaced is great. There are many parts of this that I absolutely adore. You never end to amaze me, the quality of the show is awesome. I'm truly grareful for this show.
#2. This is a question about Disordered. I know its a little late so im sorry. When Robin had his therapy session, Canary didn't say anything. Thought what was she thinking?
#3. Thank you for all the hard work you put into this show! Its the one show on tv that I actually like.

Clark Cradic writes...

I was going to ask if the team knew Captain Marvel was really a 10 year old kid, but it seems last episode answered my question. It's like you guys are psychic. But here's a question that's been on my mind for a while, did Riddler's escape his own doing or was his escape the actual goal of the attempted breakout?

Thomas writes...

has the Big Bang actually occured yet? You know, Dakota's big gas explosion that created hundreds of super heroes or villains? Seeing as Dakota is appearing....its a good question
