I just wanted to say that Young Justice is by far the most amazing show ever created. So far everything about it has been absolutely perfect! Thanks you guys for making an epic show! And now to the questions:
1) What is your favorite part of making this show?
2) Does it ever bother you to be compared to Teen Titans?

I don't recall seeing this question in the archives, so I apologize if this has been asked before and I just didn't notice it. I'm sure that Kid Flash's outfit changed after the first three episodes (I believe that it changed with the fourth episode and the camouflage mode). Was his outfit changed after the pilot was made? Thank you for your time!

Do the following characters exist in the Young Justice universe?

The Question, Either Vic Sage or Renee Montoya?

Mr. Zsasz, you might not be allowed this one by S&P though

Tommy Monaghan aka Hitman

Jack Knight aka Starman (I assume the original was part of the JSA)

[Spoilers for Targets but... I hope everyone was tuning in after all this time!]

First, I want to take this moment to say that "Targets" is my favorite episode so far, and how Roy is written (and performed, Crispin Freeman is one of my favorite voice actors) is a big part of that. I love how determined he is to tough it out on his own, yet that he still has enough sense to know that Kaldur can contribute some very impressive skills if he ever has need of them. I think "Targets" is a wonderful showcase of the fact that while Roy is doing a pretty good on his own, he's still connected to the League and the team, and there's a subtle yet powerful display of his respect for Ollie and the League at the end, where he and Kaldur discuss the idea of a mole, yet Roy never mentions the fact that their Johnny-come-lately archer chick is kind of hiding her background.

I'm also really intrigued by the fact that the League of Shadows were involved both times Roy kicked off an episode's plot. So in summary, Roy is fantastic and the way you and the YJ production crew have presented him is also fantastic.

As for questions--

I thought the friendship between Kaldur and Roy was a nice touch, and a nice counterpoint to Dick and Wally's BFFness. They're not as close as Dick and Wally, but they like each other, get along, and complement each other well. It seems that Kaldur is much more successful at bailing Roy out of trouble than he is at preventing Dick and Wally from getting into it in the first place.

What I want to ask is, when the series was being developed, what was the reasoning behind writing them this way? Was it the natural consequence of Dick and Wally's friendship, that the two older sidekicks would be closer to each other as a result, or did everyone just like the way Kaldur's calm played against Roy's... somewhat significantly less calm? Or something else entirely?

It's a very interesting friendship, and I am hopeful of seeing more of it as the series progresses. Thank you to both you and the rest of the team behind Young Justice, because the time everyone's put into the show, from the writing to the plotting to the casting to the performing to the design work to the animation, is absolutely top-notch.

Mr. Weisman, what does Batman like to read in his limited free time? Oracle asked him in the Batman's Artifacts episode, but he didn't really answer.

Gothic-Cowboy writes...

Hello, Mr. Weisman. Thank you for opening the ask a question function. I'll try not to waste your time.
1. In Young Justice #2, when Superman, Green Lantern (Hal Jordan), Wonder Woman, Hawkwoman, Aquaman, and Green Arrow show up, the Joker says "The gangs all here." This seems to imply that, along with the already present Batman, Flash, Hawkman, and Martian Manhunter, these ten characters constituted the League's membership. Since designators 01-07 were taken by the founders and Green Arrow is 08, by process of elimination the Hawkfolk must be 09 and 10. If I'm right, would you please clarify which of them is 09 and which is 10?
2. Also, concerning Young Justice #1 & #2:
a)Were these events set before or after the League "went public."
b)Was Batman the leader yet?
3. In Young Justice #6, Robin's revised origin featured six members of the Flying Graysons, instead of the three I'm used to seeing (four, counting his older brother in Batman Forever, when he's tragically orphaned at the age of thirty). What considerations went into the decision to increase the scope of Dick's tragedy?
4. In Young Justice #7, we see that Artemis put together her own superhero costume. I had previously assumed that it was something new she'd put together after becoming Green Arrow's "niece." Why did her constume suggest the Green Arrow so strongly, since it was before she'd been added to the Team?
5. In Bereft, Batman mentions the League's Charter. Clearly, this Charter, in some way, represents a delegation of power to the League to combat certain threats, but just what does it entail?
a)Does the League operate under the authority of an outside body, or is it autonomous?
b)Where does the League's operating capital come from? I mean, Bruce and Ollie are rich, but they can't pay for everything. Do they receive outside funding, patents on velcro, or t-shirt and toy sales?
c)Does the League's charter include by-laws governing how the League conducts business? Things like electing a leader, inducting new members and other organizational protocol?
6. How far in the League's confidence is Catherine Cobert? Does she know about the Watchtower, for instance?
7. Among the League's founders, on what basis were their numerical designators assigned?
8. Are Hawkwoman and Hawkman married on Earth-16?
9. From a logistics standpoint, who maintains the Hall of Justice and, more importantly, the secret Watchtower?
10. Is Sportsmaster a part of the League of Shadows? He didn't bow to Ra's al Ghul like Cheshire did.

Thank you for your time.

Hi Greg, first I'd like to say that you are doing a FANTASTIC job with young justice, and I don't say that about every show. But I would like to ask a few questions just clear up my confusion if you don't mind.
1. In young justice, is Hawkwoman the same as hawkgirl? I know that in young justice she's supposed to be hawkwoman, and so if they aren't the same, is it possible that hawkgirl could be a side-kick of hawkwoman? (sorry if it's a spoiler request)
2. When I first saw the Justice League movie, the one where all of the super heroes come together for the first time, Matian Manhunter and stated that he was the last of his kind and he came to Earth to warn everyone about the invaders, who killed his people, that they were coming for Earth. So how is it possible that Miss Martian could be alive, and her sisters that she said she has in episode 6, when the Martian race had been whipped out? (except for Martian Manhunter of course)
3. When you add team members to the team, is it possible for you to be able to make your own character, or does it have to be one that already exists in DC Universe?
4. How come Black Canary doesn't have a side-kick?
Thank you for your time. Sorry if any of these are spoiler alerts.

lLight writes...

1.In “Drop Zone”, how and when did Miss Martian plant a bomb in Sportsmaster’s helicopter? Was it actually Robin?
2.In “Denial”, the witch boy claimed that Wally had zero affinity for Magic. How was his body compatible with The Helmet, then? Can you please elaborate on this?
3.In “Targets”, Cheshire was arrested and locked up. She then escaped, forcing Red Arrow to pursue. During this pursuit, Cheshire was seen using weapons. Shouldn’t the police check her person for any weapons before locking her up?
4.Is Superman the only league member who knows Batman’s secret identity?
5.In “Schooled”, why is Superboy wearing a helmet while riding his motorcycle? I thought he was indestructible.

(get most of the episode on youtube XD. big Robin fan) if you do know could you help me out here? thanks Kric

Anonymous writes...

First of all, thank you for making such an entertaining show in the form of Young Justice. I, for one, can’t wait for the new episodes.

I’d also like to thank you for your interpretation of Batman and Robin (they’re very Golden Age but modernized). I like that Dick is a cheerful little dude with an attitude, and that Batman isn’t a jerk to him (a much committed sin of comic writers ever since the Nineties so this really feels like a breath of fresh air).

So here’s my question (I checked the FAQ and Ask Greg with search so I hope I haven’t missed anything): In the DCU Dick Grayson has Romani heritage (his father is Romani). I understand that this is a later expansion on Dick’s circus past and only showed up in full force in later issues of the Nightwing comic, but I was wondering whether YJ!Dick also has Romani heritage. I’ve always been fond of the idea of a iconic character like Robin being partly Romani.

I hope this isn’t a spoiler request! I wouldn’t have asked this but you seemed to have no problem with revealing the information that Artemis Crock is half Vietnamese, so I gave it a try.

Also, I wonder how old Oliver Queen is in Young Justice. Usually he's one of the older Justice League members so I was curious about your interpretation.

Thanks so much and keep up the good work!

2.Is there a reason that Artemis was chosen to be Vietnamese?If there is a reason and it is not a spoiler request,what is the reason?
3.When "worlds finest" asked you why the fans should buy Young Justice #7 you said that Artemis's secrets will be revealed in YJ #7 "AND ONLY IN YOUNG JUSTICE #7!!" so won't they be revealed on the show?

Now I'd like to make a few compliments:

1) Concerning YJ: Thank you for not making one of those superhero shows in which the heroes always find the time to slip into their uniforms amidst an attack. So, thanks for the episodes where the Team is in civvies during all the episode.

2) Concerning The Spectacular Spider-Man: Thank you for not making one of those superheroes shows in which the villains pop up out of nowhere and their origin story is explained via a 20 seconds flashback. So, thanks for working their origin into the organic flow of the plot.

3) Concerning The Spectacular Spider-Man, YJ and Gargoyles: Thank you for not making one of those superheroes shows with cheesy dialog and dumbed down lexicon typical of "kiddies cartoons". So, thanks for making animated shows that audiences out of the key demographics can enjoy.

4) Concerning The Spectacular Spider-Man, YJ and Gargoyles: Thank you for making shows with complex and tightly woven plots, instead of a pile of stand alone episodes, making stuff up as you go along. So, thanks for putting an effort into writing plots with a beginning, a middle and an ending... and sometimes another ending (I'm still awed with what you did with the Green Goblin arc).

Thank you very much.

Pumpkin Bomb writes...

I interrupt this line of questioning and spoiler requesting for a moment of unabashed fangirling:

I just want to take a moment to say how much I appreciate the way you and your team handle storytelling on Young Justice (really all of your shows, but especially this one). It's obvious to me that to endeavor to tell interesting stories that are also true to reality (as well as any superhero show could, anyway). I just saw episode 10 for the second time (I saw it weeks ago when CN posted it to their site by mistake), and I was struck by how the two story lines of the peace conference in Taipei and Megan and Connor going to school worked out logistically. I'm living in Taiwan right now and I used to live in New York, so I know that time-wise Taiwan and EST time zones are 12 hours apart, so both stories are happening at the same time on different parts of the globe, making that news report Connor and Megan saw in class (loved you as the teacher, I grinned when I recognized your voice--was it your idea, or were you volunteered for the part?) sync up perfectly.

I get so tired of watching films or television shows and reading novels or stories where minimal to zero effort went into fact checking those tiny details when they're really just a question of effort and planning. There are probably more important things to a story, but craftsmanship is in the details and I'm glad that I'm getting that from you on this awesome show.

Some things I liked from the episode:
Mercy's arm - I actually shouted out 'HOLY CRAP MERCY'S ARM WHAT' and my roommate went 'They made her a cyborg! That's so HOT'
Lex Luthor - I always liked that aside from his consuming grudge against Superman, Luthor is sophisticated and immoral but also interesting in his own right. I'm glad that's the version we seem to be getting so far. He's no David Xanatos but I hope he shows up a lot more.
Megan's disguise - her freckles disappeared after she got drenched in water! She was probably just shaken and it slipped her mind. (It couldn't have been an animation mistake--those never happen! :P) She should be more careful, someone might notice.

Also, what icon was that on Marvin's shirt? I didn't recognize what superhero it was from.

spence writes...

Let's try again. :)

1) Will season one get flashbacks?
2) Will you please give us the titles of the episodes that are in the can?

I like your use of foreign languages in the show and I am curious what the characters are saying since no subtitles are given.

1. What was Megan saying in Martian in Bereft?
2. What were the Bialyan soldiers saying in Arabic in Bereft? (You mentioned it was Arabic in the questions before)
3. What was Aqualad saying in the Atlantean language when he was dehydrated in Bereft?
4. What were the Rhelasian diplomats saying in Targets and what language was it?

I appreciate Young Justice for all of it's detail and consider it a classic in the making. I just have a few questions.

2. How old is Paula Crock?

3. How old is Sportsmaster?

4. How far along pregnant (in months) was Mera in Episode 8?

5. (Joke) Does Megan watch classic TV because reception from Earth to Mars takes a long time?

6. Is Billy Batson 10 years old in this version? How long has Captain Marvel been part of the Justice League? Does the League know his real age?

7. Kaldur quit the Conservatory of Sorcery to become Aqualad but does that mean he's not getting any type of schooling? Or are they done with required Schooling at age 14 when the join the military?

8. Does Black Canary wear a wig in this version or dye her hair blond?

9. Artemis is a Sophomore like Wally, correct?

10. Robin is in 8th or 9th grade?

11. Red Arrow graduated from High School or is he a Senior? If he graduated is he going to Collage at all? Taking a year off? Have a job? Getting financial help from Green Arrow?

12. Miss Martian and Superboy are both Juniors correct?

13. Is 'Wolf' an original character or is he based on an established DC character? (I'll understand if this is Spoilers)

Arcship writes...

Before I go about my questions, I have to say that I am really enjoying Young Justice! It’s been such fun watching it; the animation is gorgeous and the ongoing characterization is interesting. Additionally, I like how minor characters in the DCU are being utilized. It’s nice just seeing them there. I apologize in advance if any of my questions are asking for spoilers. I have no doubt that some are at the very least are treading close, but I thought I might as well ask anyway.
1) I often see people asking questions about Tim Drake appearing in the series. Now, I have nothing against the character (though my preference lies with Dick Grayson), but it does make me wonder, especially because Batman: The Animated Series went straight to Tim. I don’t ask if you’ll have Robin eventually switch, but rather…What’s your opinion on leaving Jason Todd out? It just feels strange for him to be gone because he plays a large part in Bruce’s development. Though he admittedly isn’t the main focus of this series.
2) In A Dark Victory, Dick’s parents were killed in summer, around Father’s Day. What month (or date) were the Flying Graysons murdered in this series?
3) Are you treating Hawkwoman and Hawkgirl as the same character? I know their histories are a bit convoluted as far as differentiating them goes.
4) Decades ago, DC acquired characters from Quality Comics. A few characters like Black Condor still exist within continuity, but several fell into public domain and never returned. (Including my beloved Clock!) I know that because the characters are in PD that they can, theoretically, be used, but are there any contractual obligations to use recognizable DC characters? No one really knows who the Clock or Hugh Hazzard or Wonder Boy are, and there aren’t any comics to support through them. And, if you can use them or any other dropped characters, would you ever? Not as full-fledged characters, of course, but as background cast members or brief allusions? And, if they do exist in the YJ universe, would they act as Justice League members or as lone vigilantes?
5) Which Hawk and Dove pair is your favorite? Also, do they all have the potential to appear in the series, or most probably just the original Hank and Don?
6) Questions about Ace and Krypto are considered spoiler questions, but my question is this: what is your preferred incarnation of Ace (as in, the original German Shepherd, the more modern black dog, etc.)? I honestly miss German Shepherd Ace, probably because I love the breed. Also, does Streaky exist in this universe?
7) Will the pasts of any member of YJ become the subject of later episodes? Or, for the most part, will they be relegated to allusions? (Like Wally referencing the science experiment and the YJ comic being more graphic.)

Chris Spider writes...

So glad Young Justice is back! Anyway, I just had a few questions this time around:

1. Is there any particular reason you decided to cover much of the backstory for characters like Kid Flash, Miss Martian, and Robin in Issue #5 of the tie-in comic instead of the show itself? It's an interesting decision, to say the least.

2. How closely did you work with the writer of the first six issues of the book?
3. How many retakes do you generally have to do? MOI's animation for the show has been incredible so far, so I wondered if there were hiccups like you had in, say, Gargoyles.

4. Did BS&P really not catch that quick panty shot of Chesire? I was rather amazed you guys got away with it.

5. Mark Rolston is an intriguing choice for Lex, having only done a little previous VO work, and none with you guys. How did you, Brandon and Jamie come to cast him in the role?

Anyway, can't wait to see where the show goes next!

Richard Jackson writes...

Having watched the first 10 episodes and read the first 9 comics (I'm including #0 and FCBD), I can really see how the show is rewarding repeat viewings. I can go back and look how someone said something and see it another away. Also, with the show playing out in real time and cast of dozens of heroes reminds me a lot of one of my favorite series, Astro City. I don't know if you've read the comic, but I assure it's a compliment of the highest order.

When I rewatched "Welcome to Happy Harbor", I noticed Lucas Carr and "Schooled", I finally noticed the LexCorp truck. I love things like that.

Can you give the story on how you were cast as Lucas Carr? Obviously, you're the producer, but who suggested the role for you and why were you attracted to playing Lucas Carr? By the way, I like Lucas "Snapper" Carr.

Matthew writes...

This is about pretty much all the series you've worked on. I've noticed that most of your series has a large cast of recurring characters (and that despite this characters tend to be very well delineated.) Now for Young Justice, WITCH, and Spectacular Spiderman that may be just because they were pre-existing properties and already have large casts. However, Gargoyles also had a large cast.

Was this a because of conscious choice?

Do you perfer working with a large cast of characters?

Ares101 writes...

Regarding Captain Marvel's upcoming appearances in Young Justice (his inclusion in the series was a huge draw for me):

1) Can you tell us the episode or episode number that Captain Marvel will play a more prominent role in?

2) What is Cap's designation/number as a League member, and will we find out the circumstances of how Captain Marvel joined the Justice League?

3) The last 25 years or so have had Billy Batson be anywhere from 10 years old at the start of his career to about 15-16 years old as an experienced hero. How old will Billy be in Young Justice?

4) What is your take on the Wisdom of Solomon and the Courage of Achilles, two of Cap's more mental abilities. Older comics had them directly influence Billy's personality, which explained why Captain Marvel acted like a separate person from Billy. More recent comics have had Billy's personality remain largely unaltered, with the Wisdom functioning as a kind of magical database of information for him, while the Courage protects him from unnatural or artificially generated fear, like if it was caused by some supervillain with Emotion Control powers.

5) Traditionally Captain Marvel has been one of the mightiest superheroes on the planet, such that his nickname was "World's Mightiest Mortal" and he was considered roughly equal to Superman in terms of physical might. How powerful is the Young Justice Captain Marvel compared to his fellow League members?

6) What are some of your thoughts on the Captain Marvel character? He seems like someone you'd have fun with, given he's a young, relateable teenager in a world of superscience and magic, using superpowers to act as a superhero. He could almost be summed up as Peter Parker in the Gargoyles universe and then charged to use godlike power to protect the world.

Thank you for your time.

Just saw Targets thought it was great for the most part. I like how the show manages to create a whole superhero universe while managing not to loose focus on the YJ team. This is important since we already had two (or three depending on if you count Justice League Unlimited as a seperate series) cartoons about the Justice League. This episode focused on Red Arrow, but it did not suddenly become the Red Arrow show.

Now as a DC nerd, I appreciate all the cameos at Connor & Megan's school, very nice. I could ask, but I'll assume Snapper Carr knows who they are since he knows the League. Anyway, excellent job, please pass on my praise to the rest of the crew, and I look forward to next week's episode!

Mr. Weismen, I want to first thank you for creating quality programming that I grew up with and for creating Elisa, a strong female figure that matched my own background in terms of race.

1.Would you say that Aqualad is a younger non gargoyle version of Goliath in terms of personality?

2.You revealed Flash’s, Batman’s and Superman’s ages, would it be okay to ask how old is Aquaman and Mera?

Thank you for looking over my questions and I wish you all the luck with current and future projects.

Hey Mr. Weisman! First off love Gargoyles and Young Justice, and I have a couple of questions about the latter...
1 How long have Superman and Batman known each other in this world, were they friends before the league?
2 Why doesn't Superboy want to be leader of The Team?
Thank you for reading :)Kenzey

First off, I just want to say how wonderful Ask Greg is. It's so nice of you to take time out of your busy schedule working on the show we love to answer fans questions about them. I'm sorry you get so much negative feed back and rude comment, because you don't have to do this, and we are lucky that you are willing.
I have some questions about Young Justice
1. Do all the members of the Justice League know Batman's secret identity. If not, who knows
2.Who were the founding members of the Justice League
3. Do Bruce and Barry know that Dick told Wally his secret I.D. How long has Wally known?
4. How is Roy supporting himself financially, trick arrows are expensive after all, as are trips to Asia and boat rentals.

DC HERO writes...

Really quick question hope you it doesn't count as a spoiler. 1. Will Aqualad use any kind of modern weaponry? I asked a question like this a few months back after watching the Green Latern trailer. Basically will he use aforementioned weapons or do Atlanteans stick to ancient weapons and sorcery. 2. Didn't plan on this but who do you like more Aquaman or Namor? I'm surprised no one mentioned the fact that The Teams reason for forming is practically ecatepec to the reason the outsiders were formed. They were formed by Batman to do covert missions for the League so none of the Leaguers had to damage their publicity or popularity.

Targets

This is a show that, I swear, gets better with each episode. I've been enjoying the Red Arrow character since the first episode, so I really dug this episode. He had a lot of character development, and while I can't see him joining the team yet, I do think the door is open for it.

Sportsmaster and Cheshire both make welcome returns. And Cheshire is a character that has really grown on me. I love the chemistry she has, not just with Red Arrow, but with everyone. Kelly Hu is doing a magnificent job with that character. So are the writers and animators. She just personifies the sexy badass, and I am eager to see more of her.

As for Sportsmaster, well, I still don't know too much about him. But I am told he is a D-List villain in the comics who is really shining in this series. He's intimidating, badass, and I guess I'm eager to see more of him to. And while we're talking about villains, for the first time in this series, two of the DC Universe's A-List villains have finally been formally introduced.

I was really happy to see Ra's al Ghul, he's one of my favorite Batman villains. Oded Fehr did a great job with his voice, even if I'll have to take some time to get used to it. I guess David Warner's voice has just imbibed itself into my brain for that character, that Fehr has a lot to live up to. But I enjoyed his performance and I am eager to hear more of him. I also enjoyed his skills not just as a leader, but as an assassin. With just pure skill he knew Red Arrow was watching his meeting with Cheshire and Sportsmaster and from where. Very cool. This is why he's the master of the League of Shadows.

And then, there's Lex Luthor. Lex is a character I have never, ever liked. I'm not quite sure why, it's like oil and water with me. I've always thought of him as the poor man's David Xanatos, even years before I ever met the character of David Xanatos. I don't know why. That being said, I did enjoy Mark Rolson's performance as Lex, he brought a lot of charisma to the role. Clancy Brown did the same thing for Lex Luthor too, loved the performance even if I still didn't like the character. Will this version of Lex break the mold and make me like the character? Time will tell. But Greg Weisman managed to make me like Venom, a character I've always detested. Again, time will tell.

Also, looks like we can finally, officially, identify two members of the Light. Oded Fehr voiced L-2, and Mark Rolston voiced L-3. May I just say, and I understand that this might be a bit petty, how ecstatic I am that Lex Luthor is not L-1? If these numbers are indeed a rank, then I would have been disappointed if Lex, again, took center stage. That's one of the reasons why the "Justice League" cartoons disappointed me, because they put too much emphasis on Lex Luthor (who already had that in the Superman cartoon that preceeded it) and not enough on a guy like Vandal Savage, who's appearances in "Justice League" really impressed me and who I felt should have been the main antagonist of that show.

The school scenes were pretty fun, although I was wondering why Superboy needed it, or a secret identity at all. But then, knowledge aside, Superboy could definitely benefit from learning more social skills, so I understand it. Miss Martian too, who seems to have learned everything about interacting with humans from a 50's sitcom.

And who is that, voicing the teacher. Hmm... someone couldn't resist now, could he? ;)

BTW, I loved the origin of the Conner Kent alias, and where they all think the "Kent" part came from.

1) Is Mercy an android or a cyborg?

2) How did this version of Clayface get his powers? In Batman the animated series, he had a pretty tragic origin, in which he was disfigured, hooked on a special drug, and then forced to have an overdose which transformed him into Clayface. Was his origin on Earth 16 anything like this?

3) How old is Lex Luthor? How old is Ra's al Ghul?

4) Could Brick breathe beneath that foam stuff that Roy shot at him? If so, was he arrested and convicted?

5) Where is Metropolis located? Where is Star City located?

6) Did the Hook kill Boston Brand in this universe?

7) Did Bane spend most of his life in prison, like in the comics?

8) Is L-7 an existing supervillain in the comics?

9) OK, this is a minor detail, but it's kind of distracting. Where did Roy get his Red Arrow suit from?

10) What is the relationship between Marvin and Wendy? Friends? Relatives? Boyfriend and girlfriend? Are they even close?

Here (http://youngjustice.wikia.com/wiki/Infiltrator#Trivia) it says:

When Cheshire is about to kill Dr. Serling Roquette at the end, she desists because the creation of the virus is completed. When this happens, Roquette's laptop emits a sound that's very similar to that of Ben's Omnitrix in Ben 10, another Cartoon Network show.

Was that on purpose?

DC HERO writes...

Hey Greg has it been some time and got a lot of questions. 1. Since Kobra is in this universe does that mean a chance of Checkmate existing in this universe. 2. Has Superman and Batman worked together before the League. 3. Who was that Miss Martian look-a-like in the front of the classroom. Did you run out of character models, an animation mistake, or was that supposed to be the actor from "Hello, Megan". 4. I'm surprised Superboy showed restraint from fighting Mal Duncan just because of Miss Martian. Just really telling me their relationship has gone very far. 5. I just want to comment on the description of episode 11. Does Batman know what he's doing by sending Miss M and Superboy to island of supercriminals. Sure it'll give them some time as if they didn't have enough but isn't that a little too much for teenagers.

Hi, Greg! I have a few questions I have been compiling all this time:

1) Will the Ice Family Attack from "Independence Day" be revisited/explained?

2) Will we get flashbacks, a la "City of Stone"?

3) You say you don't like to spoil your own shows, but you revealed here that Marina Sitris would be voicing Queen Be. Wasn't that a big spoiler since she was also voicing L-4? Or were you sandbagging us somehow?

4) Could you give us the titles of the episodes that are in the can?

FinalAvalanche writes...

You mentioned before that the timestamps for "Drop Zone" were fixed, however to date Cartoon Network has never aired the corrected version of the episode in all the times that it has been rerun.

1) On that note, does the hard-to-find Young Justice Season One Volume 1 DVD have the corrected version of "Drop Zone"?

2) Was Red Tornado's incorrect bio from "Welcome to Happy Harbor" ever fixed?

Hi Greg,

I was wondering who is your favorite Young Justice character?

O-nin writes...

I am loving Young Justice so far. The art is just phenomenal. Especially those underwater flowers in Downtime. Please pass my compliments along to the artists for the show. They're doing an amazing job.
The only bummer so far is not knowing how long before the dreaded hiatus comes to an end. My inner fangirl is so depressed, but we shall continue to wait it out. (I get like this whenever one of my shows like Psych and White Collar go on break, so don't take it to heart.) Besides, it's only making me look forward to when new episodes start airing again.
Which brings me to my question about future episodes. I know that in the comics, Superboy discovers that he has tactile telekinesis and it becomes one of his most used abilites. Assuming he still has TTK in Young Justice and that you are able to answer my question at this time, how far into the future will it be before this ability comes out? And will their latest "souvenir" play a part in this or is that a seperate thing entirely?
Thanks for the awesome show so far and taking the time to answer all of our questions.

I just noticed something I had missed the first time watching Independence Day- When the four boys finally leave the sublevels of Cadmus due to the unexpected hole in the ceiling, Dick commented on it, shot his grappling gun and zipped out. What I had missed was Wally grabbing his belt and catching a ride out. It was a wonderful little expression of close friends operating on an non verbal level. Wonderful!

Jo writes...

First, I absolutely adore Young Justice. I just do. Because you probably can't tell me if this happens: I really hope there are more "words from Robin". Because, they're great. I'm just sayin'.

Second, I have questions. Two, actually.

1. Because there are two Green Lanterns on the Justice League in YJ, I can imagine that there would be a few communication problems, so, what are they called?? Are they referred to by their first names, even in the field? (or whatever the correct term would be...)
2. This is...kind of a strange question. Does Superboy even know how to use the tv? Because, M'Gann asked if she needed to turn something on for him...and...yeah.

Thanks!

So I've been looking at the Justice League lineup, and it's pretty obvious so far we're gonna get at least some interaction with the big name heroes, if we haven't already. But are we going to see some more of the more obscure guys like Captain Atom, Zatara, and Captain Marvel too? (And on that train of thought; is it Hawkwoman or Hawkgirl who's in the league?)

Rob writes...

Greg,

Not a question, just a few comments that I've been meaning to write since I first started reading this message board.

First of all Thank You! Thank you for making programming that is appropriate for children and still fun for adults. Thank you for Gargoyles, possibly the greatest cartoon of all time. I am 26 and I still record the late night showings on my DVR and watch them as a reminder to be noble even when it is not to my immediate benefit.

Thank you for hosting this site. It is incredible to me that you still answer Gargoyles, Spectacular Spiderman, as well as YJ questions. I know you must get frustrated with all the fishing questions, but it means more to me than I can express that you have given a forum to keep interest in Gargoyles and SS alive, even though the shows have been canceled.

I am so glad to learn that you are finding success with YJ. I've been excited to read about the toy line and the plans for the "Invasion" miniseries. If there is anyone who deserves this kind of success, it is you. Especially after the heartbreaking losses of your previous projects. I have also enjoyed some of the interviews regarding YJ that I have seen on Comicbookmovie.com and I hope that perhaps your success with YJ will give you a platform to pursue new projects in the future (or maybe old projects... I know... but a guy can dream).

A final thank you for all of the above, but particularly for all of your effort to keep producing quality programming even though I know your efforts in the past have not been met with near the acclaim they (and you) deserve.

Keep fighting the good fight and I know that your long time fans (me included) will continue to support you in your future ventures.

Most Sincerely,

Rob

i keep reading that young justice is set in a 'young dc universe' that's only really had superheroes for about ten years - so why are there so many golden age superheroes cropping up? it's not like a criticism, i love doctor fate and the justice society, i was just really surprised to see them after i kept reading about the superheroes-as-recent-phenomenon angle. great, great show, btw

Hi there, I've just been reading about CN's new DC Nation programming block that they're introducing and a couple of sites are saying that the block will be launched with a 10 episode spin-off miniseries of Young Justice called Invasion. I realise that more than likely you won't be able to (or indeed WANT to) go into any details about it, but I was wondering if it's something that you're directly involved in? I ask because I can't see how anyone else can fit a TEN episode arc into the tight-knit chronology that you've got going on in YJ. It also occurred to me that Invasion might just be the last ten episodes of the main show marketed as something different by CN (wouldn't be the first time). Anyway - the show is incredible, one of the best superhero shows ever, as far as I'm concerned.

SilverShadow writes...

In regards to Young Justice:

I have looked and so far I haven't found the questions I'm going to ask in the other archives. I apologize in advance if you have answered them. So here we go:

1) Is Green Arrow and Black Canary 'together' in this version?
2) And why do Megan's eyes sometimes glow different colors? Sometime they are red, and others it is white, or even green. Does each color signify something important?

PS: Megan is my absolute favorite character and I love the way you portray her. I do my best to ignore all the Megan haters out there.

Batman Questions:

1. How come Batman doesn't use knives that much? Knives are obviously different from guns.

2. This question might sound silly: In YJ, whenever Bruce Wayne buys something does he always pay with cash? I asked because that internet celebrity "Nostalgia Critic" (Doug Walker) gets very annoyed everytime he hears that "Bat-Credit Card".

3. Have you heard that there is another Batman cartoon series on the way?

Michael writes...

I first wanted to single out the episode Denial as a really well done episode of the show. The use of theme and character really resonated with me in a way that I the other episodes haven’t. (It’s not that the other’s we’re bad I just responded more to this one).

Now to business: I’m working on a theory as to the identity of the Light.

In the episode Fireworks the character Blockbuster is the main antagonist. This is the episode where we’re introduced to L-1 and L-3.

In the episode Drop Zone Sportsmaster is the main antagonist. This is the episode where we’re introduced to an uncredited member of the light who (I believe) has a Spanish accent.

In the episode Infiltrator the League of Shadows (specifically Sensi, Cheshire and Professor Ojo) are the main antagonists. This is the episode where we’re introduced to L-2.

In the episode Downtime, Black Manta is the main antagonists. This is the episode where we’re introduced to L-5.

In the episode Bereft, Psimon is the main antagonist. This is the episode where we’re introduced to L-4. Now my theory is this: There’s a relationship between the Main Antagonist of the episode and the identity of the member of the light who appears in that episode. Am I correct in my line of reasoning, or am I off base?
