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

1. In Misplaced I noticed that Wotan's magic was red when it was orange in Revelation. Not to nitpick but was he harnessing the power of chaos instead of the magic he normally uses?
2. When Martian Manhunter uses telekinesis to enhance his strength is he the same level as some of the heavy hitters of the league or is he closer to Aquaman's strength level? I don't like to ask who is stronger then who I am just trying to find out what is Aquaman's combat prowess in the league is.
3. What were the Pentagram symbols in Misplaced based on?
Greg responds...
1. Don't ask the color deficient guy.
2. Combat prowess and raw strength are two different things. Superman's the strongest of the Leaguers. Icon, Captain Marvel and Wonder Woman are up there. Aquaman and a telekinetically enhanced Martian Manhunter and a Quantum-energized Captain Atom are close. I'd put Red Tornado, Hawkman and Hawkwoman just behind them. Neither Flash nor Plastic Man nor Zatanna nor Atom have super-strength, but their powers can sometimes give them more oomph. At the "bottom" are folks like Batman, Green Arrow, Black Canary, Black Lightning, Rocket, though of course, they're all way stronger because of their training than the average human being. And of course, you have the Green Lanterns, who can use willpower and rings to mimic strength too - and maybe even top Superman when they're on their game. Same - in his own way - with Doctor Fate. I think that covers the whole League.
3. My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic.
Ryan writes...
I am really off my game in asking questions or writing them anyway. Why is it that when Wotan casts magic some of it is nonverbal and other times he uses Latin to cast them?(SUCCESS!) For example in Revelation he summons lightning against the team without speaking, but when he fights Doctor Fate he uses several incantations.
Greg responds...
Actually, Wotan did speak to summon the lightning in Revelations, using the Archmage's old spell, in fact.
But in any case, Wotan has many tools in his toolbox.
Lydia writes...
Hey,
Just wanted to put it out there. I thought it interesting that although Zatanna and Zatara are probably Catholic, they practice magic. If you want to get technical, the Catholic Church is against the use of magic. (I am Catholic)
But I know this is a fictional story, so the rules can probably be bent a bit :)
Keep up the good work! Love the series!
Greg responds...
I know a LOT of Catholics who consider themselves Catholic but don't follow EVERY tenant of the religion. (For that matter, I'm a Jew that doesn't follow many tenants of MY religion.) It doesn't have to be a 'fictional story' for that.

Even though their not Dating dose Wonder Woman has feeling for Batman
Greg responds...
It depends what kind of feelings you're talking about.

How old is Dr. Serling Roquette?
Greg responds...
Serling is 22 as of the end of Season One.
Gregorio writes...
First, I just have to say this is most definitely the best DCAU show since Justice League Unlimited finished. There's something in it for everybody; there's just two questions I've got for you...
1) Is Wally eventually going to learn to be more imaginative with his powers? When they amount to being able to "Run really, really fast", it's really easy for him to turn into just another comic relief.
On another note, I really like what you're doing so far with Superman being extremely awkward around Superboy and so far being a terrible role model... it kind-of really fits him, IMO. And, on a related note to that, my second question: Are we ever going to see the Kents in this show?
Greg responds...
Technically, we're not part of what most fans consider the DCAU, but thanks.

What is the color of Rocket's powers? Is it blue or pink? Cause in Revelation it was pink and misplaced it was blue. I know weird question
Greg responds...
I don't know. I myself am Red-Green color deficient, so I'm not the best person to answer color questions.
DickGraysonLover writes...
Do Kid Flash and Robin hang out together as Wally and Dick, seeing as they are BF's?
Greg responds...
Sometimes.
The greenman writes...
Great show. Please keep up the excellent work.
YJ questions
Did Martian Manhunter ever assume detective John Jones identity?
Can Aqualad control the temperature of his water power?
How did Bibbo get a diner? Is this from the comics?
Other than the Secret Society, did Spider-Man's Sinister Six inspire The Light?
Greg responds...
1. Uh, yeah. If you've been watching, you've seen John Jones already in "Targets".
2. I doubt it.
3. On Earth-16 he owns a diner.
4. Not at all. The Sinister Six is an attack squad. The Light is the polar opposite of that.
Big Me writes...
1)How do feel abou batman and wonder woman being a couple? And about WW and superman?
2)Any chance of a TV movie for YJ?
Greg responds...
1. It all depends on how one develops the characters, but I'm not one of those guys that feels like either couple is an absolute must-see. Nor am I the type to think either is anathema.
2. No one's raised it over here.

How did you cast Alyson Stoner as Barbara Gordon?
Greg responds...
How? Uh, Jamie Thomason and/or his talent coordinator called her agent, I assume. If you're asking how did we DECIDE to cast her as Barbara...?
I'm not sure I remember, but there were a handful of actresses who auditioned for Miss Martian (including Lacey, Mae and maybe Alyson) who didn't seem quite right for M'gann, but who were really good nevertheless and whom we kept in mind for future rolls.

If I found out about leaks of a show being posted on youtube, is there anyone I could tell about it? I just feel gross knowing I'm part of a fandom that would do things like that.
Greg responds...
There's really nothing to be done, I'm afraid.
Anonymous writes...
1) Could you please tell me the blood type of every DC character that has appeared on the show and arrange the list by astrological sign and birth date excluding those characters who were born in a leap year?
2) What happens next?

I was just wondering has Chad Lowe replaced Rob Lowe as the voice of Captain Marvel or will Rob Lowe return in the future to voice the character? Was there a reason for the switch in the first place?

I'm SOOO sorry if this has been answered, but I don't think it's been: when is Robin's birthday? I know you said that some of the teams' bdays are spoilers, but I was assuming that was because of Wally's bday in ep. 20

Hi Greg,
In “Targets†the peace conferences or negotiations between North and South Rhelasia were being held in Taipei. However, few countries â€"and no countries in Asia- have diplomatic relations with Taiwan (the Republic of China) due to pressure from mainland China (the People’s Republic of China). And since I’m pretty sure the Rhelasias would have to have diplomatic relations with the ROC in order to hold the talks there, I was wondering if this was accounted for while writing the episode. Were these politics considered?
Of course, this isn’t really important to the episode and you can always just say that on Earth 16 the ROC has wide diplomatic recognition.
I also noticed that Taipei has been used for several scenes since "Targets," most recently in "Misplaced" when the team is broadcasting a message to the children of the world. Was Taipei used again to create a sense of resonance between episodes? Was it so you could reuse some material -such as a background- to keep the budget down? Or for a different reason entirely?
Thanks
Greg responds...
Matt - No. I'm not sure I follow your logic either. What the Rhelasians required was neutral turf. Taipei provided that. If we got the politics wrong, I'll take responsibility - but also run right over and say the politics of Earth-16 may be different from what you're used to.
As for its reuse, it's a combination of both your stated reasons, with perhaps a slight emphasis on budget.
Chris writes...
Klarion, Brain, Luthor and Ra's have an episode to themselves. Apparantly Queen Bee's is coming soon. I bet Vandal Savage is saved for last. But what about Aquaman's main enemy; Ocean Master? Apart from hiring Black Manta, he hasn't had a major episode yet. I was wondering when he'll show up!
Greg responds...
He's appeared in 108 in "Downtime" and he had a two-parter in our companion comic book, i.e. issues 14 and 15. Beyond that, it's a SPOILER REQUEST. NO COMMENT.

When were Mal Duncan and Zatanna born?
Greg responds...
I dunno. Probably Happy Harbor and New York City, respectively, but I won't be held to that.
Sophie writes...
Wow! I can't believe I finally got in at the right time! I live in Australia, so I can never post a question...unless it is at a time like this...when our two times just happen to be perfect!
First off, I would just like to say; I love Young Justice. I know you must get that a lot, but I truly am obsessed! So obsessed, I have even managed to obsess several of my friends! To the point of obsession, that my parents worry, and that's saying something.
The long awaited episode 19 was remarkable! I loved the story line/plot, and everything was just great! As usual, of course! :)
I don't want to trigger spoilers of anything of the sort, and I've scoured the archive sin search of my questions...but, hopefully this question hasn't been asked.
1. When will Wally West get his cast off? I aplogize if this is a spoiler, but It was just a wonder.
2. In the comics, don't the Flashes all pretty much have super healing? If so...why doesn't Wally in the show? If he did, wouldn't his cast be off already?
3. I read the summary for Episode 20. And. WALLY WEST (my fave character) IS GONNA BE 16...which means...he'll be just that more awesome. Really, trying to get to the point, what will the date for his birthday be? The last episode finished sometime in November (though i forget when *face-palm*). Or is this one of these obviously, wait and see questions?
4. I read that the last episode of Season 1 (Auld Acquaintance) will have the date of December 31st! Is this true?
5. What style of art is the show drawn in? Or, how would you describe the style of art?
I seriously, have like a list of a hundred things I'd like to ask you...but, you're a busy man! So i'll let you move on! Maybe next time?
I understand If you can't answer the questions. I would hate for the show to be spoilt too! One of the pluses of living down under- it takes hours to find out info about the show- most of which Is from random sites and is never true! Its one huge, randomistic (? I am aware this isn't a word) adventure!
Thank you for even taking the time to read this.
-Soph
p.s Maybe you are, or are not aware- but, THEY HAVE STARTED AIRING YOUNG JUSTICE IN AUSTRALIA! Which means...I can re-watch all the episodes for the ump-teenth (? typo) time!
Greg responds...
I'm not sure what your timezone has to do with posting here, since when ASK GREG is open, it's open 24/7.
1. Well, Sophie, of course it WAS a spoiler. And by now, you probably know that it came off in episode 120, "Coldhearted". I don't mean to single you out, but this is a perfect example of a question that didn't need asking, as the episodes themselves answered it LONG before it reached me in the massive queue. In fact, nearly ALL your questions fall into that category.
2. As stated many times before, just because it's true in the - since rebooted - mainstream DC Universe, you cannot assume it's true on the series. Base your assumptions on what you see ON THE SERIES. Not on past interpretations.
3. Yeah, it is. A little patience - given our timestamps - would have OBVIOUSLY provided this info. (November 11.)
4. Ditto. (Are we sensing a theme here.)
5. Phil's style.
Harmony writes...
Dear sir, I love the interactions between the characters and the friendship that the team displays. I especially love Dick and Wally's chemistry, they were my favourite characters in the old comics, and their friendship has transcended many decades, reboots and adaptions. Dick and Wally haven't been seen together much in animated adaptions so it's great to see them as best buds again in YJ.
What I'd like to know, is if maybe an episode or tie-in comic issue will tell the story in detail of Wally, Dick, Kaldur and Roy's meeting eachother, and how they became friends?
Thanks for your time, and for considering my questions.
Greg responds...
Given enough episodes and issues, I'll cover everything.
Harmony writes...
Dear Mr Weisman, first I'd like to congratulate you on creating such a fine piece of DC universe history. Young Justice is the finest cartoon I've seen in years, and the best DC Comics adaptation I've ever seen. I'd also like to thank you on having something like this Ask section. Few creators are patient enough and willing to deal with things like fan questions, especially when not all askers are pleasant people.
I'd like to ask a few questions. I hope the subject doesn't bother you.
1. Do Michael Jon Carter and Ted Kord exist in this universe?
2. If so, are we going to see them, even briefly as a cameo in the same way we saw Plastic Man and Guy Gardener?
3. If they exist, is Ted Kord still alive?
Thank you for taking the time to read my queries, sir.
Greg responds...
1. SPOILER REQUEST. NO COMMENT.

Is the recent "Justice League: Doom" movie set in the same universe as "Young Justice"?
Greg responds...
Nope. I haven't even had the chance to see it.
