Hey Mr. Greg Weisman,

It's me again. I know it's only been a couple of hours since my last posting, but I just watch “Misplaced,” and I got to say what was done to Zatara, and forcing him become Doctor Fate, was very cruel. Who would have thought that the Helmet of Nabu was such a selfish entity, to take Zatanna’s father away from her. So, now that Zatara is Doctor Fate, does that mean we’ll never see him (as Zatara) again? I hope that, somehow, Zatanna will get her father back. Also, do you think the fallout of this Doctor Fate situation will somehow develop into its own story arc within the show? I have a strange feeling that my second question is somehow going to be right.

Thanks for taking the time to read my post.

Hey Mr. Greg, great fan of your work.

My questions are the following:

1: Is the Guardian like the comics version (ie: A clone)? And is his name Jim Harper?

2: Was Red Tornado's technology unchanged throughout his life?

I've looked at the archives and haven't found anything regarding these questions, as you said, Guardian's been a hero for three years, but htat doesn't mean he couldnt be a clone, and I'm not sure if it's a spoiler, so forgive me if it is.

And thank you for your time.

Hi Greg! First of all, congratulations on the Young Justice video game! Can't wait for its release! I've just got one question, which I've been wondering about for a while:
1. When you use cultural references in the show (like Wally's Planet of the Apes reference in Alpha Male, or his 'Dumbledore' line in Denial) do you have to ask permission to include them in the script, or do you guys have pretty much free access to all Warner Brothers material?

Great job on the show! Its easily my favourite TV show right now- there's clearly a lot of talent and effort that goes into it, and it really pays off! Keeping my fingers crossed for a season 3!

Gwen writes...

Does the entire cast of the show get to see the episodes they recorded before they air?

Do they have access to the entire script or only their lines?

Do you make a point of hiding spoilers from them?

Hey Greg, just want to start by saying I freaking love Young Justice, it's probably my favourite show right now trumping even Game of Thrones, and I want to say a great big THANK YOU.

But going to my question: The YJ video game has just been announced, are you taking part in its writing/production in some form? Cause god that would be awesome.

Oh, also, I had the wonderful chance of meeting Crispin Freeman in the summer, seemed like a great guy, he's probably fun to work with.

But yeah, have a good day man, and thank you so much for making the greatest Comic based show in a long long time.

Omega writes...

Wow! First I'd like to say great job with young justice, but I just have one question about episode 19.
1.I read that Klarion is ageless, right? So why is it that when Klarion and the other 4 sorcerers were creating the 2 different dimensions, Klarion went to the "child-only" dimension instead of staying on the adult one?

Anonymous writes...

Since Starro's leg was moved in the adult dimension but not the kid dimension, yet The Light still had it when the worlds merged back together, then does that mean the adult dimension was the "real" world while the kids were sent to a pocket dimension, rather then things just being split? So the airplane is still uncrashed?

YJ question:

Let's assume for the sake of argument that the mole, whoever he/she might be, knows he/she is the mole. Why doesn't M'gann read everybody's mind and find the mole? And for that matter, why doesn't J'onn do that?

Gothic-Cowboy writes...

Mr. Weisman, my question pertains to Talia al Ghul. Namely, that fact that, while I can ascertain that she's intended (not just in Earth-16, but generally) to be a sympathetic villain, I have never been able to muster up any sympathy for her whatsoever. I mean, I'm a fan of, and greatly respect, the work of Neal Adams and Dennis O'Neil, but, where Talia's concerned, they weren't trying very hard. In her original appearances, she doesn't have much of a personality to speak of, she's just a clich-ridden knock-off of similar characters like Fah Lo Suee (i.e., the exotically beautiful daughter of the "Yellow Peril/Fu Manchu" mastermind who's loyal to her father, but feels torn by her attraction to her father's nemesis). I never got why she was in love with Batman. She'd met him once, she can't've possibly known him very well. Plus, from Batman's point of view, here's this woman he barely knows. Her clearly mentally unbalanced Father shows up, offers her to him, and she's calling him "Beloved" and trying to get him to marry her. Most men would flee from that, as if pursued by hounds. Sure she's beautiful, but this is a comic book universe. Gorgeous women are the rule, it's not even exceptional. She seemed more like a crazy stalker than a geniune suitor. Why would he have feelings for her? I actually prefer her in more recent comics, were she's been more like her Father, a villain (or, at leat, a well-intentioned extremist). At least she has a personality that way.
On Earth-16, when we first meet her, she's actively helping her Father in his efforts to murder billions of people. This kind of limits the sympathy I can feel for her. The fact that she claims to have misgivings means exactly nothing. Her misgivings aren't going to make any of the people she kills any less dead. She doesn't shoot Batman because of her attraction to him, not because she realizes that what she's doing is wrong. Then she gets into a huff because her Father and Batman's lives don't revolve around her and I'm forced to agree with Alfred: she's a crazy stalker with Daddy issues and an international terrorist. Who cares what she thinks? Then we find out about what she did to Matt Hagen. Batman sensibly tells her they can't be together while she's trying to murder billions of people, and she acts like the victim. Like her Father and his insane "compromise," she thinks he's being unreasonable. She gets a new boy toy, one whom she believes is beneath her, because he seems to fit into the immature fantasy she has about the love life she thinks she needs, then effects what she believes to be a slow,lingering death when she becomes convinced that he was just using her to get access to the Lazarus Pit in order to cure his terminal cancer. She comes across as immature and more in love with the idea of being in love than actually being in love with someone.
As I said, I've never really grasped why Talia was supposed to be sympathetic. At best, I see her as more of a tragic character (although I guess I may be splitting hairs). It's kind of like Demona, she's a tragic character, but much of that tragedy has been driven by her own actions, and it does nothing to change the fact that she must be opposed when her actions threaten lives.
In a larger sense, I've never understood why some fans get all bent out of shape whenever anyone comes up with the idea of exploring the idea that Batman could be paired up with a woman who isn't either terrorist stalker or a selfish, amoral thief. Someone with whom he could actually have a relationship with. Someone who isn't obviously wrong for him. Why are we locked down to Catwoman or Talia, when it couldn't be more obvious that it can't work out? I'm sorry if I'm rambling, but I just don't get it.
Thank you for your time.

Hello Mr Weisman,

In the recent Young Justice episode Misplaced I was just curious as to why Red Tornado was not in both universes/worlds/realms. Since he is not a flesh and blood person like all the other heroes. And all the other objects and appliances seemed to be unaffected by Klarion's spell and inhabit both realms, for example Dr. Fate's helmet. So I guess my question is, why was Red Tornado in the world with all the people over 18 years of age and not in the universe with the individuals under the age of 18?

Hi Greg, first off I want to say thanks to you and the talented team you work with for making YJ such a good show.

I have a couple questions pertaining to Robin that I hope you can answer.
1. As the show progresses and the characters get older, being the youngest on the team, can we expect Robin to go through any noticeable height changes or for his voice to get deeper? I would imagine he's getting hit by puberty a little bit harder than the others right now.
2. In the comics, Dick is known as something of a playboy with the ladies, or at very least a pretty boy. Will the YJ version have anything in common with the comics in that regard as the show goes on?

Thanks for taking the time to read and hopefully answer these.

I don't mind Superman avoiding Superboy and get why he feels violated. It's great seeing Superman face something his strength and charm can't deal with. The way it has been shown has resulted in Superman coming across as unfeeling though. Even more so when other members of the League have accepted the boy. If being one sided was to generate debate, then you got what you desired. It has caused a lot of debate and Superman sure gets a lot of heat for it. We get to see Batman's perspective on stuff, might have helped see one little scene with Superman even expressing to someone he feels close to and has to keep no secrets from (I am guessing Wonder Woman or Martian Manhunter would fit that role best)why he can't offer the boy what he needs. Unless there is something else going on ...I get it but wondering if the payoff would be worth it? ie It has dragged on so long it would lose the emotional resonance? The long breaks has not helped, I guess. But many people who are rooting for Superboy want to see that resolved and in a way I almost feel like if I were Conner when Superman comes I would feel so angry I would not want to listen to what he has to say. Does that make sense?

Where has Wonder Woman been in all this? Is she an Ambassador or does she have the secret ID?

btgr writes...

Barbara Gordon aka "Babs" questions ( The last question is NOT a YJ question because I want to joke around.)

1. In YJ how long has Barbara lived in Gotham City or was she born in Gotham?

2. In YJ for the record, was Barbara born with blue eyes or was she wearing blue contact lenses and that she was born with green eyes?

3. In YJ, when did Barbara start wearing earrings?

4. Would you say that Barbara Gordon is "the Kim Possible of DC Comics"?, even though Christy Carlson Romano has never voiced her. I'm going to be very very honest with you Greg, if it wasn't for "KP", "Babs" here would never have been one of my most favourite DC heroines in the first place!

Hi Greg

I've been looking forward to new episodes for months and loved Misplaced this morning. It's amazing how you make some episodes feel like mini-movies. Fitting both a compact story AND characterization for so many characters on screen is no easy task, but you guys pull it off wonderfully.

I wanted to ask you if were able to fill in the blanks for some characters who did not have credited voice actors?

1x09 - Bereft
- Scientist #1 (moustache and glasses)
- Scientist #2 (beard and glasses)

1x11 - Terrors
- Belle Reve Guard Hart
- Belle Reve Guard Cooper

1x13 - Alpha Male
- Hunter (who hunts with Mayor Hill)

1x17 - Disorder
- Norman
- Norman's Mother

1x18 - Secrets
- Museum Curator

1x19
- Commissioner Gordon (I think it was him who spoke to the adult crowd)
- Amber
These might be too minor to have a credited actor
- Girl on street who lost her mom who was sitting on the stairs
- Man in car who lost his son
- Man who yelled at man above
- Kid who said Artemis sang the wrong song

Thanks again for your help on these and for such an awesome show. Not since Avatar The Last Airbender have I looked forward to a new episode in a series as much as I do for YJ. I also hope the quality in animation never changes. To me, the overall quality (esp. character shadings) was better than the recent Justice League Doom, which used the same designs by Phil Bourassa.

In "Misplaced," Robin initally starts to say Watchtower, but awkwardly changes mid-word, seemingly because Zatanna is present. Was he deliberately keeping it from Zatanna, or am I just seeing things?

Gothic-Cowboy writes...

Mr. Weisman, after the events depicted in "Misplaced," who's Zatanna's legal guardian? For that matter, although I suppose "John Jones" is the guardian for "Megan Morse," who's the technical legal guardian for "Conner Kent."

Gothic-Cowboy writes...

Mr. Weisman, in reading some of your answers here, I've gathered that, on Earth-16, Martians call their planet "M'arzz." However, I've long since understood it to be that the Martians call it "Ma'aleca'andra," in an obvious homage to the classic sci-fi novel Out of the Silent Planet by Clive Staples Lewis, were they called it Malacandra (http://www.martianmanhunter.wikia.com/wiki/Ma'aleca'andra). Did you go your own way deliberately, or were you unaware that this had been established (I'll admit that I don't know when).

Hello, Mr. Greg Weisman,

I am a big fan of Young Justice and I have watched every episode up to the date of this posting. I have enjoyed each episode and I look forward to the rest of them. This is my first time asking questions to you. I deeply apologize if any of my questions accidentally break your guidelines. Please understand that it is not my intention to upset you if that ends up to be the case, because I believe you are a reasonable person.

It is only fair that I tell you that I may ask questions on this posting (and possibly others in the future) about topics/events that have occurred prior to the events of Season One. If I do ask such questions, they would be based on my personal assumptions:

a. I am assuming that Young Justice MAY continue BEYOND Season Two. I’m praying (every night!) that Cartoon Network will allow the renewal for more seasons.
b. I am assuming that information regarding events that took place prior to the show might NOT ever be revealed/discussed within the Earth-16 continuity (on the show or in the comics). This is because you've made it clear that the teenage superheroes are the main focus, and not their mentors.
c. I am assuming that you are probably more comfortable about answering questions about past and present events rather than future events because asking what will happen in the future instantly result in a spoiler request or no comment, and like I said, you’d probably get extremely upset. Also because this is the past we’re talking about, I’m guessing anything is bound to have happened.

My questions are listed below. Starting with this posting, and in future postings, the maximum number of questions I’ll probably give you is five. Hopefully, it will make things easier for you.

1. I’ve read one of your responses to a posting which states that the founding members of the Justice League did meet individually prior to 2003, the year in which they all came together. So, since you’ve proven that this fact is true, is it possible you can tell specifically which members met, when (Month/Day/Year)it happened, and what was the circumstances involved that caused them to meet? Given there are only seven founding members, I personally doubt there were many individual encounters prior to the big team-up.

2. Aside from the fact that the Justice League came together to fight a common foe in 2003 and the fact that Joker discovered the original secret sanctuary of the Justice League in 2006, is there any other major events that took place before the series that we, the fans of the show, need to be aware of? After all, a lot most likely happened in the span of just seven years before the events of the Season One, agreed?

3. You’ve confirmed that Green Arrow had lost his fortune under unknown circumstances. So, since this is obviously a serious issue for Oliver, what happened to his company, Queen Industries, as a result? Also, has he been spending any time fighting to try getting his fortune back?

4. Your responses to other people’s postings confirm that Wonder Woman is 85 years old, Vandal Savage is around 50,000 years old, and Ra’s al Ghul is around 600-700 years old. I pretty much understand what the circumstances behind why their ages are as they were described to be, but it does bring up an interesting question: If you could identify the ages of these three characters based ONLY by their physical appearances, how old would they be? For example, would Wonder Woman’s physical appearance make her appear as though she was a woman in her late 20s or early 30s? I hope to hear your response to this particular question because I’m quite interested.

5. You are probably most likely aware there are a number of different interpretations of how Krypton was destroyed. I myself know at least three of them: the one in the movies, the one in Superman: The Animated Series, and the one in CW's Smallville. Out of sheer curiosity, what is your team’s interpretation of Krypton’s destruction in the Earth-16 universe (assuming it’s an original interpretation and not one that draws inspiration from other interpretations of the Superman mythology)? I am interested to know as to what exactly happened, please understand that.

Thank you for taking the time to read my first set of questions. I apologize if my first posting seems longer that it should be. If for any reason I have UNINTENTIONALLY broken you guidelines, I am TRULY sorry, and you have my word that I will try to be more careful in the future. Anyway, keep up the good work! I will keep praying to God that, somehow, Cartoon Network will allow the renewal of more seasons for the show.

I have a Young Justice question:
It seems like everyone got a centric episode except Robin. Kaldur got 'Downtime', Wally got 'Denial', Artemis got 'Homefront' and Conner and M'gann got 'Terrors', 'Disordered', 'Welcome to Happy Harbor'. Robin might have featured more in 'Homefront' and a few others, but none of them are Robin-centric. Is this intentional? Was it done for creative reasons? Is it because everyone knows Dick/Robin from previous shows?

So, in Misplaced, Klarion was put into the children's Earth while the other mages were in the adults' Earth, but you said that Klarion is older than the Earth itself (or something like that), so why was Klarion considered "under 18?" Is it because he may be ageless but his body is still a child's or is it because he's Klarion and he does whatever he wants?

Greg Bishansky writes...

Back when I reviewed "Revelation" in October, I said: "I hope the next time someone puts that helmet on, taking it off does not come so easily." Yeah, I think it's safe to say I'm a sadistic monster and that I got what I wanted. More on that in a bit.

Upon reading the summary for "Misplaced," I will admit that I rolled my eyes a little at the set-up. All adults disappearing, in a world with only kids. I've seen it before, and it's almost always played in a very goofy manner. It's a cliche that I've found very tiring. But as the episode began, and the adults disappeared, I said to myself "wow, this is pretty dark" and frankly, I should have expected that from a series that is pretty dark in general. I was actually digging it. A cliche that I hate, and I was digging it. And that was before Act Two started and we found out the adults weren't actually gone. By the time the third act got going, and Captain Marvel was warping between dimensions to keep both the Team and the Leaguers up to speed on what the other side was doing, I was loving it.

I thought this episode was Captain Marvel's best showing to date. Now, I've never read a comic with Captain Marvel before in my life. I'm aware of the set-up, who he is, but he's another concept I always found corny. In this episode, well, he was really the key to cracking it open. The rather silly concept (okay, all superheroes are silly concepts when we get down to it) was played straight, and so honest that I forgot how corny I've always found the character.

But the real meat of the episode was Zatanna, whom I've enjoyed since she first appeared on this show. I will admit, I saw the tragedy coming pretty early in the episode. I just knew Zatara was going to end up as the new vessel of Nabu. What I didn't see coming was that Zatanna would put on the helmet of Fate first. So, instead of Zatara sacrificing himself to save the world from Klarion, he sacrifices himself to save his daughter. While both are heroic, the latter is just much more moving, and personal. Zatanna did take the helmet off, and it did not come easy. I've been clamoring for Zatanna to join the team since she first appeared, and like with the Helmet, I got what I wanted. Albeit through tragic circumstances. But, as established earlier, I am a sadistic monster.

I saw the Light's Xanatos Gambit coming a mile away, but I did enjoy it. And now we get another piece of the puzzle. So, Riddler is an agent of the Light, eh? Cool. And I always love me some evil Thom Adcox.

Overall, a solid episode for the series to return on. Thus far, "Young Justice" has been a series I like a lot, but not one that I love... which, in spite of my liking it a lot, made it a tad disappointing to me. I love "Gargoyles," I loved "Spectacular Spider-Man," I even loved "W.I.T.C.H." once I allowed myself to get past the fairy wings on the teenage girls and actually watch it. Is my being disappointed for just liking it a lot unfair? Yes... but I guess I hold Greg Weisman's shows to much higher standards, the same way I hold Martin Scorsese, or David Lynch, Quentin Tarantino, or the Coen Brothers to higher standards than I hold, let's say Joe Johnston. But the past few episodes, particularly "Secrets" and "Humanity" have just knocked it out of the park. And with a welcome return, and things looking to climax over the next seven episodes, I might end up loving "Young Justice" after all.

Hello, Mr. Weisman. Long time viewer, first time question-asker. First, I just want to say "thank you" for all the quality entertainment you and everyone who works with you have produced over the years.
1) Ra's al Ghul knows Batman's secret identity; has he shared this information with his allies in The Light?
2) What does Superboy consider his real name to be? I ask because he started to introduce himself to the Forever People as "Conner" before switching to "Superboy", and to the best of my knowledge, he's never introduced himself to anyone as "Conner", instead having others do it for him.
3) Was Hugo Strange the Deputy Warden of Belle Reve, in addition to being the resident psychiatrist?
3a) How old is Hugo Strange?
3b) How long has he worked at Belle Reve?
3c) Was Strange already working for the Light when he started working at Belle Reve, or was he recruited afterwards?
4) Does Vandal Savage have any children who were born in the past 40 years or so?
5) Are the New Gods genuine gods, or just very advanced, powerful aliens?
5a) Why is Desaad's master (presumably Darkseid, but I'm assuming nothing at this point) referred to as "Unspeakable"?
6) How old is Lord Kobra?
7) Do any members of the Team have a particular favourite movie? If so, would they be real-life movies, or fictional ones?
8) Why are Robin, Kid Flash, Artemis, and Zatanna allowed to drive motorcycles? None of them are old enough to have a driver's license.

This is...going to be an odd post.

Six years ago, I was a lonely and bored kid surfing the Internet for pretty pictures of one of my favorite shows, WITCH. I stumbled upon my first fanfiction. I was eleven and hooked. I've managed to bond with many people because of that discovery and self-published some of my writing.

Fast forward to December 2010. I heard of this fantastic new show, Young Justice, and unfortunately missed the premiere due to my DVR not working. I decided to surf the Web and stumbled upon an anonymous writing meme for Young Justice. It's still the most interactive, fun place I've been online, and it got me out of a slump I'd fallen into with my writing. In fact, the Young Justice fandom is the most active and interactive fandom I've ever been in.

I have Asperger's Syndrome- I find it difficult to connect with people at all. So...thank you. Thank you for making such great shows that people love so much that we can all connect to. It's really made my life so much better.

Hey Greg,
Love Young justice have a few questions for you
1.Do we see more of the Joker?
2. Will Robin and Zatanna hook up?

Thomas writes...

So, what exactly did you look for in choosing the characters in the show. According to Wikipedia,

'The six main characters were chosen by the producers, from a list of 50 to 60 DC Comics teenaged superheroes, as potential candidates'

I know that Robin was probably required by law to be used, but were there any young heroes in particular you wanted to use but were cut out?

Okay, now for the Geek questions, and hopefully they are new

1; I've seen Rocket in the commercials, and you answered a similar question with the Joker so you can't back out....who is Rocket's voice actor?
2; What State is Dakota located in
3; Ditto with Fawcett City
4; Does the martian manhunter retain his choco addiction?
5; Is Wildcat still active as a hero?
6; Why did you choose to create a 16 member strong Justice League, as opposed to a larger (See JLU) or smaller one (See Justice League Doom)
Seven; Is Amanda Waller the herophobic person she was in Justice League or is she too minor a character to think about
8; Okay, so Amazo was disassembled and sent to Star Labs, which was attacked by the Fog the next episode. Did you forget that detail or is it a spoiler.
9; Now that Doctor Fate is in Zatara's body...is he still in the Justice League?
10; Why are there two Green Lanterns? I've noticed that John Stewart is given more a role than Hal, appearing in Alpha male and talking in Failsafe.
11; Did Cadmus manage to get Robin's DNA in Fireworks? Or for that matter, Kid Flash's or Aqualad's?
12; Finally, that scene with the six original main characters facing down their mentors, plus Wonder Woman, at the hall...when will we see that scene?

Given their similarities was Red Inferno's story based loosely off of Tomorrow Woman's?

Dear Greg,
I was just wondering if the team knows the relationship between Kid Flash and the Flash, similar to how they know that M'Gan is Martian Manhunter's niece, Zatanna is Zatara's daughter and that Artemis is Green Arrow's "niece".

Dear Mr Weisman,
First off I want to say how much I love Young Justice; the story telling and animation style is gorgeous and brilliant, and I love how it always keeps me guessing, I never know what will happen next. I have a couple of questions relating to the comics and the relationship of Batman and Talia.
1 How old is Talia?
2 How long has the "relationship" been going on?
BTW just saw Misplaced and it was fantastic! And I have a couple of questions about that as well:
1 Was the big blonde guy riling up the crowd outside STAR labs in Gotham Sportsmaster unmasked?
2 Was that Commissioner Gordon on top of a squad car with the megaphone in the same scene?
Lastly this isn't a question but an observation. I've read a lot of the Ask Gregs and internet chatter about Superman and how people don't like the portrayal of him being so cold towards Superboy, because they find it "unSuperman" but I love it. It seems so natural that he would feel violated by people he has sworn to protect, and I'm sure on a deep level he knows it isn't Superboy's fault he exists he just doesn't know how to act around him.
Keep up the amazing work, I can't wait to see how this season's story ends :)

Hi, Greg, Young Justice is genius. Have a couple questions-

1. Have you heard any rumors or news around the studio about a potential YJ season 3?

2. Do you have an idea in mind for where you would take the show in a season 3?

3. Have you ever considered ideas for a Young Justice spin-off?

4. Would you ever consider doing a different Earth 16 Series if given the chance?

Thanks.

Greg,

It's really cool of you to take time out to answer questions like these. This is the closest to "DVD commentary" that we can get, which leads to my question:

Would you consider doing a "director's commentary" podcast of an episode or few of Young Justice (your choices of course) that could be posted here as mp3s that we can play along while watching to episode on mute?

Thank you again for your time.

Hi Greg!
I just have one question.
In "Terrors", did Miss Martian put on the other prison uniform? At the end, though, she shifted fully back into her superhero costume. Can she just shift out of whatever she's wearing, regardless of whether or not it's "Martian" clothing?

Someone asked you about the occurrences of the number 16. I just wanna let you know where you can find a list of them:

Question: Failsafe is episode 16. Did this bear any relevance while writing the episode?

Robin Hearts Zatanna writes...

Greg, I love Young Justice, it's really wonderful show. So I have a couple questions-

1. I'm not sure if you can say anything on this yet, but how.does Young Justice: Legacy work within conjunction to the show? According to what's been released so far, it features a brand new storyline set between seasons 1 and 2, but yet you said season 1 ends December 31, and Season 2 begins January 1. Does the game take place over a night?

2. What made you guys choose for Zatara to become the new Doctor Fate? Was it make Zatanna more like Robin with the loss of her dad?

Thanks for answering fan questions.

Mark writes...

I just want to say how much I appreciate how you are using Milestone characters in Young Justice. Even though it was not meant to be this, it still is a great tribute to Dwayne MacDuffie's memory, especially considering how underused the characters are in the comics proper.

And now for actual questions...
1) Out of all the villians in the Light, Queen Bee seems very out of place. In the comics, the Bialian Queen Bee was never given an actual name. So, was Queen Bee added because A) you wanted a dictator supervillain and she fit the bill, B) it was the perfect role for Marina Sirtis, C) you wanted to add an obscure character to the Light, or D) all of the above?
2) Related to the above, will Queen Bee be given an actual name? Not searching for spoilers, it just bothers me that she didn't have a name in the comics.
3) Since Young Justice is TV-PG, you can get away with a lot more stuff than, say, Spongebob. So I'm wondering if there was anything in the scripts that you wanted to add but the higher-ups did not allow. I say this because someone asked earlier about Rocket's son and wondered if Cartoon Network would have allowed a character to be a teen mother. Not looking for spoilers, like I said before, but I just like knowing behind the scenes stuff, although I assume you would like to save revealing this stuff until after the show's finished.

And finally, will Stephanie Brown appear? Oh, wait...that might be a...*puts sunglasses on* Spoiler Request. *YYYYEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH*

Dope writes...

Hey Greg, just watched Misplaced. Y U DO THIS TO ME? My feelings are exploding right now. But thank you.

1) How do you feel about CN constantly putting your show on hiatus? Does it make you feel angry like your "babies" are being ignored? I mean it's been over a year and the first season isn't even over, granted it will be in a couple weeks, buutttt... Yep.

2) Is Klarion gay? He seems very flamboyant and metrosexual. Or maybe it's just me stereotyping. Love his nails, by the way. And his facial expressions. And everything about him, it's pERFECT.

3) Are any characters gay or bisexual? If so, who?

4) If you could have any superpower, what would it be and why? Or if you can't decide, which superhero would you like to be and why?

5) Does Artemis use any hair products? She has a lot of it so maybe she might need even hairspray or something.

6) Any of the girls use make up? Or even the boys, haha.

7) Will the Flaming C ever be a regular on the show? Wait, before you answer it, is it a SPOILER ALERT?

8) In Bereft, when Wally wakes Artemis up and she yells "Who put me in this?!" in regards to her costume, then Wally says right after, "I'm not touching that with a ten foot..." and then he never finishes the sentence. Why does he say that and what does it mean? I never understood its context or anything.

9) In Misplaced, when Wally tells Artemis that Dr. fate targeted Teekl to defeat Klarion, he didn't have his cast on (this was also a released screenshot before the episode). But later Wally did. It's... very confusing. Not a question, but just pointing this out.

Okay, thanks Greg. ROCK ON!

GoldStarz writes...

Misplaced was a really good adaption of A World Without Grown-Ups! Really happy Zatanna is on the team,too.

1. Now that Zatara is Doctor Fate, is someone going to replace him on the League?
2. Is this the first time the Justice League has lost a member?
3. Was Amber an original character? I looked up her name on the DC wiki, but couldn't find anything.
4. Was the intro shortened by you or CN?
4A. If it was you, why did you shorten it?
4B. SPeaking of intros, will we get a new one for Invasion?
5. How did you decide who went into Klarion's magic group? Was it like what you did for the Team?

Anonymous writes...

Hey! First of all, thank you for the awesome show! I was never into superheroes until it saw your show!! Thanks! XD
Secondly, I just saw Misplaced (which was amazing by the way!) and I was wondering why Klarion's eyes turned al red and small. Does it happen whenever he wants and did they do that before in Denial?
This might be considered a spoiler, and if so then just don't answer, but will there be more Batman and Robin moments? Cause those are definetly my favorite!!!
Thanks for the awesome show!!!! :)

Anonymous writes...

So I have a quesstion about the spell Klarion and the others were using in the beginning of "Misplaced." It sounded like it was German? I could pick up the first three words, "Wir sind die," which translates to "We are the," but I couldn't understand what came after that. What did they say? Were they speaking German? Or am I totally off base?

Thank you! :)

Ms. Spoiler writes...

Hey Greg, let me start by saying I love Young Justice, espacially the art! Now I have a couple of questions:
1. Who does Bette live with?
2. Did Bette ever go by Betty, if so why did she change it?
3. Where was Wonder Woman during Misplaced?
4. In Misplaced when, the adults were missing and the teens were taking care of the children, Did Barbara wonder were Dick was?
5. Does Miss Martian think she and Artemis are close friends? Does Artemis think she and Miss Martian are close friends?
6. Where was Roy during Misplaced?

Kes writes...

Hi!

I have a few Young Justice questions about magic. First, is magical affinity in their world partly genetic? (Zatanna shares her father's powers, and many Atlanteans have magical skill.) Or does it have more to do with teaching and personality (Kent Nelson told Nabu that Wally's soul belonged to science)? Could a lone student with a spellbook learn, or does it take more than that?

Last, I absolutely loved Zatanna changing her boots to a more practical version in "Secrets"! More battle-practical female attire, please!

¯\_(ツ)_/¯ writes...

Hey Greg :)
Did the event of Snowbird's Don't Fly ever happen in the show's universe? It didn't look like it, from the way Roy left Ollie, but you never know. Sorry if this has been asked before, but I couldn't find it in the archives.
Thanks! Love the show by the way; everybody who's complaining about it is just looking for reasons to gripe.
(And good luck with all these questions!)

Anon writes...

What spell did Zatanna try to conjure before she was "chocked" by Red Tornado? What did she say?

What spells Zatanna used in "Secrets" and "Misplaced"?

What does Klarion say when he attacks Zatanna? Was that reversed speech too?

BLA writes...

Hello Greg,
I absolutely love watching Young Justice, and I want to compliment you and your staff for putting on such a stellar show week after week (when Cartoon Network actually decides to aire episodes, that is). The script and attention you all give to detail is truly phenomenal, which brings me to my first question:

1. For the particulars of each episode (ie: Robin’s knowledge of computers, Wally’s knowledge of science, and people speaking foreign languages), do you actually have specialists on hand such as linguists, chemists, geologists, physicists, etc. to consult when determining how exactly you would diffuse a volcanic explosion among other things? Or do you and the writers just do an obscene amount of research before writing up each scenario?

Also, I’m fairly convinced at this point that the ability to withhold spoilers is some sort of superpower. I know I’d be too excited for the show to refrain from giving out details. Do you don a mask and cape to become “The Weisman” before answering our questions?

Thank you for your time. As always, it’s a pleasure watching your work and reading your responses.
~BLA

Reiena Grayson writes...

I have a couple more questions and a statement.

First my statement:
When I heard about Young Justice back around Thanksgiving of '10, I was so happy, and watched eagerly the entire airing of Independence Day and Fireworks. As the story went along, and Artemis was added, I didn't really like her, but since Homefront, I've come to like her, as she proved she was a true hero. I'm so happy about this show, and really anything with Robin (and that Robin could be Dick, Jason or Tim).

First Question:

I know Superman didn't get all his powers at once, I believe they came one or two at a time. Will Conner (Superboy) be the same in that way since he is a clone of the Man of Steel?

Second Question:

I've noticed something about the companion comics. They have been releasing about 2 months or so before the date printed on them, like Issue #13 has an April '12 date on it, but it released in January.

Oh, one more thing, loving the comics, they are the first set I've ever officially started collecting, and I love how they fill in the gaps in the show. I'm doing this about 2 hours before the premier of Misplaced, but hey, the episode is bound to be great.

Thank you so much for bring something new to the DC Comics TV Shows.

Tupka writes...

I've been thinking over a lot of questions; these are the only good ones I could come up with. If it's already asked, it must have happened yesterday, my apoligies.

1. I've noticed you give out plot teases for future comics, but not episodes. Is this a tactic to get more people buy the comic?
2a. In Young Justice #9 and #10, the Pentagon is said to be in Washington. Shouldn't it be Arlington County?
2b. Also about that first DC timestamp in #9... it says 23:03, but it's light as day. Coloring mistake or timestamp mistake?
3a. I think it's safe to say that Captain Atom is close to you. Was Kevin Hopps acquainted with the original story or did you give him homework? Was adapting the story difficult?
3b. Do he and Brandon Vietti have favorite characters that they like to give screentime?
4. Issue #11... Why was there a tanker truck so close to the launch pad? It's not like it has to fuel the rocket, and it would blow up from the heat of the launch.
5a. Concerning the guests at Kent's funeral... It was nice to see Wildcat still alive. Is he still active, or has he retired like Jay and just dressed up for the occasion?
5b. I couldn't recognize the woman with Barry. Was that Iris?
6a. In #7, Paula exits the bus to Bludhaven. Christopher Jones mentioned on his blog that he added the Bludhaven because he likes adding those details. Have you at this point thought out where Bludhaven is, or is it just "a busride away from Gotham"?
6b. Did you ever have to call him back to remove a reference?
7. In Welcome to Happy Harbor and later Schooled, Gotham is established in Connecticut. But in Downtime, the Gotham Academy had Artemis' address with the zip code 10510 - that's Westchester County, NY (coincidentally the location of a certain school in Marvel Comics). Shouldn't it have been an 06... code? Or has the Postal Service on Earth-16 come up with a new numbering?
8. In Downtime, the Daily Gotham in the Crock apartment [http://youngjustice.wikia.com/wiki/File:The_Daily_Gotham.png] had a picture from the 1992 Batman series [http://dcanimated.wikia.com/wiki/File:Poison_Clippings.jpg]. I looked if any of the people credited with prop design (Andy Chiang, Alexander Kubalsky and Eugene Mattos) had any history with the Batman series, but couldn't find a link. Do you know whose idea the photo was?
9. Issue #13 - how did Clayface know which teammember to "team up" with eachother to take them down? The Team hasn't really shown romantic tension or friendship in #12 and #13 (on-panel, at least).
10. Also in #13, Artemis mentions her "record and pedigree" will have her end up in Belle Reve. Does she actually have a record, or did she say that to fool Icicle?
11. People have asked about the NYPD police cars and why they're not blue and white. Closer inspection reveals they're the same as the Metropolis police car in "Revelation" and even the Taipei police cars in "Targets". My absurdly trained DC Animated Universe eye (see the newspapers question above) recognized them as the Metropolis PD cruisers from Superman: The Animated Series... which were reused on Justice League and Justice League Unlimited for Gotham PD and Central City PD. Were the designs reused to save time and money, or is there one car manufacturer (Lex?) that has completely cornered the world police cruiser market?

Did you know that the DVD close captions reveal the identities of L-1, L-6 and L-5? How did this happen?

Also in the captions, when L-6 lists the interferences ran by the Team, he says "Monsieur Twister", but it sounds like he says "Mister". What does he say in fact?

Todd Jensen writes...

I've been waiting since December for this. I checked out the second "Young Justice" DVD from the library then, and here's my review of its episodes (almost three months old now, I'm afraid, not fresh).

SCHOOLED: You certainly opened this episode on a surprise. A school bus is in trouble (I noticed, incidentally, that you mentioned that the school bus turns up in other episodes as a running gag, and my immediate thought was "So now 'Young Justice' has its own counterpart to the yuppie couple!"), and the first person whom we see ready to change into super-hero gear and respond is Bruce Wayne! (Obviously he has to be there to see Superman's response to Superboy and talk to him about it later on - but I can't help think that part of the point might also have been to have some fun messing with the viewers' expectations!) Of course, Superman shows up before Bruce can don his bat-gear, but it's still a bit of a shake-up.

A lot of other people have no doubt already mentioned this, but I thought that Bruce and Clark's dessert orders were wonderfully appropriate.

I immediately thought of the Winged Monkeys in "The Wizard of Oz" when Professor Ivo's robot monkeys showed up, especially since they emerged from the cornfield (yes, I know that the cornfield and the winged monkeys are in different parts of "The Wizard of Oz", but it still somehow helped with the imagery). And I loved Professor Ivo's line about how long it took him to come up with the acronym for them.

I'd heard of Amazo before, if just the name (which, in print, looks like it's derived from "Amazon"; fortunately, when pronounced, as in this episode, it's clear that it's derived from "amaze" or "amazing"). Definitely a great idea for a challenging adversary - and I liked how you had the Team take him down, using his own skill against him.

One final delight: Kid Flash getting taken out by Black Canary after he hits on her.

INFILTRATION: Red Arrow's choice for a new name over "Speedy" seemed well-advised to me (apart from his desire to be his own person rather than standing in someone else's shadow). As I mentioned in my review of the first "Young Justice" DVD (and as someone commented in the opening episode), "Speedy" sounds more appropriate for a super-fast super-hero like Kid Flash rather than an archer; with a name like "Red Arrow", it's clear what his skills are. (Artemis likewise chose her super-hero moniker well, a name that also makes it clear - at least, to anyone familiar with Greek mythology - what her skills are.)

The scene where the Team are in telepathic conversation with each other - and soon regret it (as does Dr. Roquette even more) was another hilarious moment. So was Wally suffering through his first day in the new term at his high school while everyone else is having a great time at the beach (is it just me, or is he the natural target for comical humiliation)?

This is a minor issue, but Robin's interest in word-play invites it; when he said that the Fog had decimated Star Labs, I thought that the word "decimated" would have been more appropriate if it had only wiped out 10 percent of the building, rather than the whole thing.

DENIAL: Kent Nelson's voice sounded familiar to me when I watched this, and although I usually don't give too much thought to who voices whom, I decided to pause during the ending credits to check - and, yep, voiced by Ed Asner. Who did a fine job on him, too.

Kent established himself as a great character from the start, first when he tells the phony fortune-teller that if his wife really was trying to contact him from beyond the grave, she'd be telling him off for wasting good money on a fraud rather than uttering the usual "I miss you" cliches (which also establishes her as a great character), and then exposing her tricks.

I'd only seen Klarion before in an episode of "The New Batman/Superman Adventures" (which got my attention because of its Arthurian content; Klarion seized control of an old demon that had served Merlin once through a branding-iron belonging to Morgan le Fay); there he was just a spoiled brat with access to magic. This Klarion, as a Lord of Chaos, is a lot more deadly, outranking the Klarion of "The New Batman/Superman Adventures" the way Voldemort would outrank Draco Malfoy.

And I smiled (if not laughed) when the big action took place in Salem. (Well, where else would a magic-themed super-hero keep his tower?)

Can't help but suspect that Dr. Fate was drawing on Kid Flash's style when his way of defeating Klarion's henchman was to make his outer garments vanish, leaving him in his underwear.

DOWNTIME: I immediately thought when I saw the opening scene, with its gloomy architecture and gargoyles, "Must be Gotham City" - and then a moment later, the caption confirms it.

Another good episode, with its glimpses of the Team's civilian life. I liked Alfred's cameo (he's one of my favorite characters in the "Batman" universe). The scene with Superboy and Miss Martian was funny (particularly Red Tornado's brief visit), though a bit creepy when I began to wonder whether Superboy's watching a blank screen had something to do with his upbringing at Cadmus Labs. And the scene with Wally was, as usual, funny - and also showed that super-speed apparently runs in his family (sorry, that one just slipped out), complete with the family patriarch apparently having been a super-speedster in Kent Nelson's generation.

Two bits in the Atlantis scenes got my attention. The first was when Aqualad and Aquaman were speaking to each other in Atlantean with subtitles; I knew already that their language was based on ancient Greek, and recognized one word from a high school course on Homeric Greek that I'd taken: "anax", meaning "king". It got me wondering whatever became of my textbook for that course (which included the full first book of the Iliad in the original Greek, complete with commentary).

The second was Prince Orm. He says that he doesn't mind not being first in line for the throne now that Aquaman's going to have a son, but I wondered if he meant it. I've seen enough cases of royal treachery from younger brothers who have a nephew standing in front of them in the line of succession (from John Lackland and Richard III down to Scar in "The Lion King") that I wondered if Orm was telling the truth. On the other hand, there've been some loyal "royal uncles" (such as John of Gaunt to Richard II), so I shouldn't be too quick to expect skullduggery from Orm. At any rate, if he shows up in any more episodes, I'm keeping a close eye on him.

So that's my review. I hope I can review episodes 9-12 soon.
