You said Superman doesn't have superbreath, but he used it to blow away some monqis in #2.

Are you sure?

Can you please rank the members of the Light by IQ?
Greg responds...
No, I cannot. It's not just that I will not - though I won't - but I also can't. I've never really understood IQ numbers or what they mean.

What the names of the songs of Rigoletto featured in SSM "Gangland"? The only ones I recognized were:
"Ella mi fu rapita...Parmi veder le lagrime"
"Duca, duca!"/"Scorrendo uniti"
"Cortigiani, vil razza dannata"
"La donna è mobile"
By the way, I thought it was BRILLIANT of you to use that score diegeticly and extra-diegeticly and extra-diegeticly. It just proves that ANY kind of music can score a fight sequence, not just rock or techno.
How did you think of it?
Will you do some alike in YJ?
Greg responds...
1. I'm afraid I don't have access to my old Sony SpecSpidey files here at my WARNER BROS. Young Justice office, and I just don't remember exactly which songs we used.
2. "diegeticly"? Did you mean digitally? I'm not sure what you mean here...?
3. I think that one inspiration was clearly the Godfather movies.
4. SPOILER REQUEST. NO COMMENT.

1)Why is Dinah Lance/Black Canary your favourite DC character?
2)Who is your favourite Marvel character and why?
3)Do you happen to know Brandon Vietti's favourite DC character?
Greg responds...
1. To some extent, I'm not sure I have an answer to this. She just... is. But I think it's a combo of factors. Part of it, I'm sure, goes back to the adolescent boy in me that just thought she was hot. (I'm not necessarily proud of this, but I'm not ashamed of it either.) She's a strong, beautiful woman, who holds her own in the company of folks like Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman, Green Arrow, etc. - even without any super-powers. (And you need to keep in mind, I'm old enough to remember a Black Canary who didn't even have a Canary Cry.) She's developed over time into a leader. I also REALLY like her relationship with Green Arrow (though I haven't always liked the way some writers and editors have portrayed it.) I love the martial arts skills, and I love (and even miss a little) her original undercover m.o., i.e. the way she operated as a criminal underworld figure, secretly working on the side of the angels. I mean, the lady kicks ass! What's not to like? Then add in the fact that one of my very first assignments at DC in the eighties was to write a Black Canary mini-series (that never got published). So I feel a personal connection to the character also.
Now, having said all that, there are a TON of DC Heroes that I really love. Black Canary is the first among equals, really.
2. See the last sentence of my previous answer. I don't feel like there's a single character that stands out in the same way for me over at Marvel, though there are many, many, many that I love. Of course, working on Spectacular Spider-Man gave me an insight into Peter Parker that almost qualifies. (Same with Flash Thompson, actually.)
3. Nope, but you can ask him on his website: http://brandonvietti.blogspot.com/
TUNE IN!
Hey gang,
Tomorrow, Saturday, March 24, 2012 - and repeating again on Sunday - is the American premiere of Young Justice episode 122, "Agendas". This is a BIG story for Superboy - and for the entire JUSTICE LEAGUE, as well, featuring special guest star MAGGIE Q, who absolutely rocks it as WONDER WOMAN! So tune in!

It's so unfair (and frustrating) that other countries aired new episodes before the U.S. does. All the same, I've still been watching the leaked episodes online in Turkish and Portuguese with the occasional fan letting me in on a translation. So I've had some hope in all of this. I know you can't control it, but how do you feel about it all? And, also, thank you in advance for your time!

"Personally, I think it's bad enough folks are spoiling things FOR THEMSELVES, when they will soon be able to see the episodes in English and at a decent quality within a matter of a few short weeks. (And the blame-Cartoon-Network excuse holds ZERO water for me, as these people are still CHOOSING to view episodes ahead of schedule. No one is holding a gun to their heads.) But the fact that they are spoiling things for folks who are trying NOT to get spoiled is just outrageously obnoxious."

Hello greg, i would like to know what year is the young justice and earth-16 set at the moment. Is it 2010 or 2011?
An Ask Greg Helper responds...
Greg Weisman says:
"We intentionally have NOT put a year on the present day events on the show. There is NO CANON YEAR, as far as I'm concerned.
But the days of the week are based on the 2010 calendar. And in my timeline, now a whopping 185 pages, for purposes of math - relative to events in the past - we're set in 2010."

First, thank you for doing this awesome show! I think Young Justice is my favorite DC-show! Also, thank you for taking the time to answer questions of the fans, it's really appreciated :)
What do you think about YJ episodes being released earlier in other countries? Spoilers are out on the Internet, do you think it's spoiling the final or on the contrary it raise the anticipation?

Hello, Greg! I was wondering since Young Justice first aired in 2010 does it still take place in 2010 today or did it change? I've noticed how the episodes are time stamped with months and days but not years, so I was just curious, have a nice day!

SPOILER NASTINESS
Hello,
I've given the ASK GREG moderators permission to DELETE any question that refers to or spoils episodes of Young Justice that have NOT YET AIRED in the United States.
Personally, I think it's bad enough folks are spoiling things FOR THEMSELVES, when they will soon be able to see the episodes in English and at a decent quality within a matter of a few short weeks. (And the blame-Cartoon-Network excuse holds ZERO water for me, as these people are still CHOOSING to view episodes ahead of schedule. No one is holding a gun to their heads.) But the fact that they are spoiling things for folks who are trying NOT to get spoiled is just outrageously obnoxious.
I'd like the ASK GREG queue to be a safe place. I NEED people to be able to read the queue to see if someone ahead of them has already asked the question they're intending to ask. In fact, I've pretty much DEMANDED that people check the queue before asking a question, so forcing them to check something that will spoil their enjoyment of the series is flat out unfair.
Thus the deletions.
And this is all beside the fact that asking a question HERE at ASK GREG to get an explanation of something in an episode that wasn't understood because it was not in English is, well, IDIOTIC. At the length of the current queue, it'll be months before I get to these questions, and the episodes will air here in the U.S. in a matter of weeks. So by the time I get to these questions, the answers will no longer be required - so all that is really being accomplished is that folks have found yet another way to bog down the queue. In fact, this practice is SO idiotic, I'm having trouble believing the questions are being asked with any sincerity. It seems more like a demonstration of power. Trolling, pure and simple.
Either way - whether this is due to naivete or trolling - please just STOP. Please.

Hey gang,
Tomorrow morning (Saturday, March 17th) Cartoon Network airs YOUNG JUSTICE episode 21, "Image". It also repeats on Sunday morning. (Check local listings for time.) You should really check it out. Big doings, trust me!
Also, Brandon Vietti and I will be at WonderCon in Anaheim tomorrow. We have a signing at the DC Booth at 4pm and a DC NATION panel at 5pm. Major SPOILERS happening at the panel. And I KNOW how much you crazy kids love spoilers. So stop by!

What inspire you to make a new character like Aqualad; in addition, how was he overall fit in the DC universe in your perspective?
An Ask Greg Helper responds...
Greg Weisman says:
"Well, there were many inspirations. Cal Durham, obviously, but also the Arion series which demonstrated that not all Atlanteans are Caucasian. There was the need for further diversity in the series. And the fact that Garth was dead in the comics (at least for now) and had, in any case, left the name 'Aqualad' behind to become 'Tempest'. So it felt like the name 'Aqualad' was up for grabs. We liked the parallel universe notion of the Road Not Taken for the two characters, leading to an Aqualad /Tempest team-up. It all just seemed... right."
[Response recorded on May 12, 2011.]
Greg Weisman says:
"Our Aqualad, i.e. Kaldur'ahm, was completely created and designed BEFORE Geoff started in his new (now not-so-new) position at DC. So our version of his backstory and wardrobe, etc., all pre-existed Geoff's involvement. The version that he went on to put into DC's main universe, i.e. Jackson Hyde, was completely HIS adaptation of Kaldur (with help from an artist whose name I'm unfortunately blanking on at this moment). And we had NO involvement with that version at all, beyond providing Kaldur as inspiration and providing EXPLANATION of how his Water-Bearers work. The only element we really collaborated on was the identity of both versions' father."

Episode 20 of YOUNG JUSTICE, i.e. "Coldhearted" airs tomorrow (Saturday, March 10th) on Cartoon Network and repeats on Sunday. Check local cable guides for times.
Please do check it out. It puts the spotlight on Kid Flash, and I think it turned out great.

Why did Klarion chose Abra Kadabra, a fake magitian from all people, to help him kidnap and turture Kent Nelson? Why not a real sorcerer, or why wouldn't he handle it personally?
Greg responds...
Kent would not be warned of Abra's approach - nor be readily able to counter Abra's abilities. Plus Abra wanted something from Klarion, which made him easier to boss around. Plus Klarion's unpredictable by design.

Dear Mr Weisman, I wanted to thank you for all your work. I was raised by Gargoyles through my childhood, I also wanted to say I was introduce to Captain Atom through Young Justice, I wondered who that silver man was in the show, so I asked my friends who told me about him. Now I am reading Captain Atom's comics, I love the struggle he goes through maintaing his form and learning all about atoms and their structures.
Young Justice also introduced me to Red Tornado, and I love the character as well. Humanity was such a great episode, just like all the other episodes. I have been introduced to so many characters, that they're too many for me too say, but I am doing research on all of them. Young Justice gave more love of comic books then I already have. Thank you for everything and I can't wait for more episodes of Young Justice.
Greg responds...
Wow. Praise-fest today! I'll take it! Thanks!
TVT writes...
Dear Mr. Weisman,
Thank you so, so much (as well as everyone else involved, though I kinda want to leave out CN for their hiatuses, kidding, kidding) for Young Justice not only for its great story, characters, and animation, but for its crazy fandom which never stops speculating what other DC heroes are going to show up. I got curious to know more about the heroes everybody wished would eventually show up and wouldn't stop gushing about, so I finally decided to start reading the mainstream comics. It's kinda funny; despite me watching nearly all the DC animated cartoons that have come out, none of them got into interested into getting into the comics themselves. (When Justice League Unlimited came out, I had other responsibilities that prevented me from watching it.) Now there's a bunch of new characters for me to fall in love with (as well as some heartbreak as some of them got shafted in the DCnU. Part of me wants to go up to you and shake you until you get Lian Harper in the show, but I don't think you'd appreciate that.)
Also, thanks to the show, I've met some really fun people online who are fun to talk and discuss geekish things about, and, despite the many pairing wars this show generates, I'm really happy to finally find a fandom with other asexuals in it ^-^.
There's so many questions I have, but I'm willing to wait. Besides, I have to get over my habit of spoiling myself whenever something comes out and ruining the suspense. Great job so far, and I hope the world you've built up keeps on going!
Greg responds...
Thanks! Me too!

9)On Harm's television, Zatanna is bound around her chest and legs. However, after Secret removes her gag, an additional coil of rope is around her waist. What is your response to this?
10)In "Secrets", we clearly hear Zatanna say the spell under her gag. Then why didn't it work; I thought the rule was that as long as she can talk backwards she's a spellcaster?
Greg responds...
1. There's no official second-in-command. But Robin tends to naturally fill that role.
2. At the moment, Batman, Black Canary and Red Tornado, plus Aqualad and a bit of a few others as well.

6) Is Sportsmaster Lawrence Crock? (PS: I know this counts as a SPOILER ALERT, I only ask because his action figures bio claims that he is)
7) Where were Artemis Robin and Kid Flash during "Targets" and "Terrors"?
8) What happened between Professor Ojo and Icicle Jr.?
9) How did Red Torpedo and Red Inferno bypass the Cave's security system?
10) Were the Injustice League aware they were set up to take the fall for the Light?
11) What do the claw marks on Harm's face mean?
Greg responds...
1. Mostly as a distraction.
2. He had faked his death.
3. To prove he could.
4. To permanently neutralize Nabu.
5. I didn't see that.
6. SPOILER REQUEST. NO COMMENT.
7. See issues 16 and 17 of the Young Justice companion comic book.
8. Nothing good.
9. They didn't. Didn't you see the explosions?
10. Some were; some were not.
11. They make him look tough.

Big fan of your work Mr. Weisman. My plan C in life is to just like you. I'm also autitic, so you may have to accuse some of my more unusuel questions and any spelling mistakes.
1) Are you a fan of Doctor Who?
2) Why did Hagen reveal his plans to use the Lazarus Pit to Talia BEFORE he ectualy used it?
3) What is the "Half-life" Atomic Skull mentions?
4) How old is Zatan...Clayface? (haha, gotcha)
5) Is Superman's reaction to Superboy in anyway inspired by Goliath's reaction to Thailog?
6) Has Hook killed a man named Boston Brand?
7) Does Cadmus know that Superman is Clark Kent?
8) Who is Talia's mother and what happened to her?
9) How did Clayface know of the relationships within the Team to decieve them?
10) Who did the vocal effects for Clayface, Captain Cold, Mammoth, Blockbuster, Devastation, Shimmer and Tuppence Terror?
Greg responds...
1. Yes.
2. How else would he get to it?
3. His religion... based on the endlessly parsed "lifespan" of a radioactive particle.
4. Hagen is 34.
5. No. But I see the commonalities, though I think they're more situational than anything.
6. SPOILER REQUEST. NO COMMENT.
7. SPOILER REQUEST. NO COMMENT.
8. Her name is MELISANDE. As to what happened to her: SPOILER REQUEST. NO COMMENT.
9. Observation.
10. Uh... vocal effects? Anyway as of episode 119:
Clayface is Nolan North.
Blockbuster is Rene Auberjonois.
Tuppence Terror is Danica McKellar.
Captain Cold, Mammoth, Devastation and Shimmer have never had set voice actors. Different actors have grunted for them in different episodes.
Paul writes...
1) Are Zatara and Zatanna celebrities, since the former doesn't seem to have a secret identity or disguise who he is in any way? Are they well known to the people of New York?
2) Why is it that Michael McCuiston, Kristopher Carter and Lolita Ritmanis always compose each episode's music together? When they worked on Justice League, Justice League Unlimited, Teen Titans etc, each one of them tackled a different episode, an approach that I felt worked extremely well. Would you ever consider letting them compose individual episodes on their own, 'splitting duties' as it were?
3) Is Zatanna attracted to Robin?
4) Not to be pedantic or anything, but shouldn't "Homefront" and "Coldhearted" be "Home Front" and "Cold Hearted"? Homefront and Coldhearted aren't actual words to my knowledge.
5) Do the other members of the Light find Klarion annoying?
6) Was Paula Crock ever married?
7) How did Harm's parents die? Did he kill them?
8) Since Garth and Tula were referred to as Tempest and Aquagirl on the Comic-Con playing cards, can that be taken as an indication that they will assume those aliases in the near future on the show?
9) Which was your favourite season 1 episode to write?
10) Why hasn't Artemis's crush on Superboy been touched on in episodes other than "Infiltrator" and "Secrets"?
Greg responds...
1. Zatara is. Zatanna has been out of the spotlight largely
2. We're not enforcing anything. But as long as I've worked with them, i.e. since SpecSpidey, this is how THEY have chosen to work.
3. What do you think?
4. They are, actually.
5. Not generally. I certainly don't.
6. Yes. See issue #7 of the YJ companion comic book.
7. Probably.
8. Eventually.
9. My mind doesn't work that way. They're all like my kids. Even the ones I didn't write. But I'll admit, I was pretty proud of the synergistic elements within "Misplaced".
10. It has. It's just subtle, I suppose. It's also been in the comics. Ultimately, there's only so much screen time, though, I guess to focus on it.

I just checked the unanswered questions and I want to apologize for asking a question that was already asked. When Ask Greg reopened I thought I would be one of the first ones to post and it was only after I posted did I realize someone else had already asked the question about the Blockbuster formula. So again I am sorry and I hope that this doesn't ruin the experience of Ask Greg.
Greg responds...
It doesn't. But thanks for the apology.
Anonymous writes...
1) Where were Wotan and Count Vertigo incarcerated at once they were captured?
2) Since Belle Reve is a federal prison in the U.S., why are Mammoth and Shimmer there when they're Australian? Or are they Australian on Earth-16?
Greg responds...
1. SPOILER REQUEST. NO COMMENT.
2. See Issue #17 of the comic.
I'm Sexy and I know It writes...
1. In issue #7 of the comic series of Young Justice, was Sportsmaster returning from Santa Prissca?
2. What High School does Zatanna go to?
3. What languages do Cheshire and Sportsmaster speak?
Thanks so much for your time!
Greg responds...
1. Who says Sportsmaster was in issue #7?
2. I'm not sure, but it's a Catholic school in Manhattan. (Maybe all girls.)
3. English, Vietnamese, Chinese, Japanese and probably many others.
Reiena Grayson writes...
What made you decide to do the story about 10 years after superman appeared, but give it a modern time twist?
Greg responds...
Well, it was almost the inevitable result of developing the property from scratch.
We weren't going to do a period piece. Not that that might not be interesting, but I doubt it would have sold. Everyone wanted it to feel up-to-the-minute and contemporary.
And we were doing a show about the young teen heroes, which meant the adults had to be already established.
And we even wanted a handful (Robin, Speedy, Aqualad, Kid Flash) of the teens to already be a little established.
Beyond that, I just did the math.
Kevin writes...
1.How many members did the Justice Society/All Star Squadron have and who were they?
2.Who is stronger Blockbuster or Mammoth?
3.What are the main differences between the Blockbuster formula and Kobra Venom?
4.Do red or white martians have any abilities that green martians do not have?
5.Are the three martian races a nod to Edgar Rice Burroughs Barsoom Series or is it just a coincidence?
6.What is the ratio of red, white and green martians on Mars?
7.Did Batman, Superman, or any other member of the Justice league have different costumes then the ones they ues now?
8.Who is stronger Aquaman or Martian Manhunter?
9.Who came up with the idea to have the designations of the founding members of the league based on the order they appeared? Not to sound like a sycophant but that idea is just brilliant.
10.12. Not really a question I just wanted to say that Mark Rolston as Lex Luthor and Miguel Ferrer as Vandal Savage are some of the best interpretations of the characters I have ever seen. Not to disrespect the other talented actors but Mark Rolston could convince me to give him my life savings and Miguel Ferrer makes me afraid of the dark as strange as that sounds.
Greg responds...
1. I have this on the timeline, but it shifted over time, so it's not a simple answer - nor a short one - so I'm going to elect to skip this.
2. Generally, I'm uninterested in these kinds of questions, but this does go to the "mythology" of our show, so: Blockbuster.
3. ASKED AND ANSWERED.
4. Nope. (Well, certain individuals might, but generally, nope.)
5. <Ahem> No comment.
6. The majority by far is Green. A large minority is white. A smaller minority is red.
7. Mostly no, but there may have been slight variations - particularly with Batman - as members gained experience. I think Green Arrow probably went through some changes too.
8. Now, we're back to me being uninterested. But I think Aquaman is physically stronger, though Martian Manhunter can augment his strength with his telekinesis.
9. Me. And thank you. (And just to be clear to those who might not be aware of what you're talking about, it's based on the order they arrived on the scene of the League's very first mission, not on the order they appeared on screen in the first episode.)
10. I completely agree. I personally feel Mark as Lex steals every scene he's in. And it's tough to top Miguel for menace.

Is the Young Justice tie-in comic considered part of the TV show's cannon, or is it considered an expanded universe?
An Ask Greg Helper responds...
Greg Weisman says:
"The Young Justice comic book will be in continuity with the television series, telling stories set either between episodes of the tv show and/or telling the same stories from different points of view. You don't have to watch the show to enjoy the comic or read the comic to enjoy the show, but I guarantee you'll get even more out of both if you take the time to experience both."

YJ'S BACK, BABY!!
Yes, that's right. "Misplaced", the nineteenth episode of YOUNG JUSTICE, aired today on Cartoon Network.
If you missed it - or just want a second look - it will rerun tomorrow on Cartoon Network. Check local listings for times.

YJ question:
Today's episode involves every adult on the planet disappearing. A few episodes ago, giant plant creatures attacked major cities of the earth. Since the Justice League has been around for some time in Earth-16, have the people of earth seen and been through enough of these situations so that some of them, if not all of them, just shrug and say, "Eh, whatever. The Justice League will take care of it." every time something big like that happens?
Greg responds...
I hope not.

I heard that the videogame Young Justice: Legacy is being written in collaboration with you and Brandon.
1) Exactly how much say do you guys have in the storyline?
2) Have you seen any of the graphics for the game yet, or been informed of what kind of gameplay it will have?
3) Will all the characters have the same voice actors as in the TV series?
Greg responds...
1. It's a collaboration. We're not writing it ourselves, but so far, everything has been run by us, and we've had input on everything from characters to motivation.
2a. No.
2b. I'm not a gamer myself, so I don't understand the question.
3. I would assume so, but that hasn't even come up yet.
