So, you've been working in writing and producing animated shows for a long time. Since the shows you work on are generally targeted to younger viewers, I was curious about the impact, if any, that your kids and being a parent to them has had on your work. How much an influence has your being a parent been to these shows? And have your kids in particular had any general or specific influences on anything you've worked on?

Just curious. Thanks.

Greg responds...

Well, I often throw in little things to amuse my kids. Like making them genomorphs in YJ. Or using their birthdays on timestamps. And I'm sure they influence me in a hundred small ways I'm not even conscious of.

But mostly, I still write for myself.

Ok, this isn't about Gargoyles, though I loved the show. This is about Young Justice. I tried finding another way to contact you, but ultimately this will have to do. The point of this question is about Robin's preocupation with the word Whelm. My question is, has anyone actually looked into this word? I did, and as such have the answer that he so desperately grasps for. The reason no one is ever simply Whelmed is because Overwhelm and Whelm have the same meaning. To cover over completely as with water, to overpower. Whelm simply fell into disuse because overwhelm sounds better. Therefore his desire to simply stay whelmed actually accomplishes nothing.

Personally I'd like to see someone explain it to him at a properly dramatic moment, just to make his life that much harder just then.

Greg responds...

I think he probably looked it up within a few days of his first use of it. Didn't change his approach.

Were the Terror Twins original creations for the show or are they from the comics?

Zatanna Zatara fan writes...

1. Zatanna has skills in hand to hand combat?. I wrote this question because she don't have fear to attack Harm or intent stop him meanwhile Artemis trying to repair she's bow (in the episode Secrets).
2. The designation number of Zatanna will change?, she now is a official member of the team :), the number change to B08 or not.

From Latin America, thanks for creating the best characters for the series (Miss Martian, Artemis and mi favorite 4ever Zatanna, i love she). Sorry for my mistakes in English

Greg responds...

1. Zatanna has very minimal hand-to-hand skills at the time of "Secrets".

2. Her designation changed when she joined the Team. And changed again when she joined the League just before Season Two.

Rob writes...

I have two questions about "Coldhearted", and they're sort of nitpicky.

1) When the thug tricks KF into giving him the heart, why did he not destroy it while he was in the elevator? He made it from the elevator to the car, so he must have had time...
2) How did the Queen recover so quickly after open-heart surgery?

Greg responds...

You admit up front that the questions are nitpicky, so what kind of answers are you expecting here?

<sigh> Fine.

1. He was told to deliver it to his boss.

2. She was putting up a good front.

How do you think Maggie Q did as Wonder Women?

Greg responds...

Great! Really, really great, actually!

(Why would you ask me this?)

Pinja writes...

1) Was Wonder Woman in the JSA? She'd have been 15 in 1940 and 20 at the end of WW2 but that's no younger than the team

2) Was she born/made as a baby or as a fully grown adult?

Greg responds...

1. Eventually, but not in 1940.

1a. She was sixteen in 1941 when she joined the All-Star Squadron.

2. Sculpted as a baby.

Hi Greg! I absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE Young Justice, and I can't wait for more!

One quick question regarding "Coldhearted";

1) When Artemis told Wally that M'gann and Superboy were dating, was what she whispered ever scripted, if so, what did she say?

Thanks again, love the show, and keep up the excellent work!

Greg responds...

1. It wasn't scripted. I'll leave her exact words to your imagination. (The last thing I need is another Titania/Fox conundrum.)

Do you have Zatanna and Zatara's voice actors say their spells forward and then rewind them in post or are they actually saying the spells backwards without help?

Greg responds...

They speak 'em backwards. It's fun to watch. We laugh a lot.

Jake the Fearless Leader writes...

Greetings, Mr. Weisman. Allow me to compliment this wonderful series known as Young Justice you and your team have created. Every episode seems to leave me on the edge of my seat. I only have three questions to ask.

1. The design of the Wayne Manor exterior is amazing. I fell in love with it the moment I saw it, both in Issue #0 and onscreen in "Downtime." I'm curious, though. Was your design influence by other incarnations of the manor (such as the live action movies and tv shows and the various animated series) or is this an original design?

2. In "Infiltrated," the League of Shadows attempted to steal knowledge from Wayne Tech. And in Issue #12, Clayface was delivered to the Wayne Foundation. a) Is Wayne Tech a single company, or is it part of the much larger Wayne Enterprises? b) The Wayne Foundation is a charity building and therefore separate from Wayne Tech, correct?

3. Also in reference to Issue #12, I'm not sure if I'm just slow or if it wasn't supposed to be obvious, or perhaps I'm just way off my mark here, but would I be right in assuming that Lucius Fox does not know the true identities of Batman and Robin?

Greg responds...

1. This is really more of a question for Brandon Vietti. I was shown the design and said "Cool!"

2. WayneTech is a division of Wayne Enterprises. The Wayne Foundation charity is a separate entity.

3. He does not.

I have to say, Young Justice is one of the best television shows I've seen in a while... The writing, character development and overall tone of the show are both refreshing and very engaging.

1. How exactly did Billy convince Amber to fly him to Happy Harbour?
2. How far is Fawcett City from Happy Harbour?
3. In Misplaced we see a framed photograph of Billy and his uncle Dudley at the park, and uncle Dudley is still wearing that vest... Why is uncle Dudley always in that vest?
4. Did becoming Captain Marvel make Billy lose friends?

Keep making amazing episodes; your work on this property and gargoyles inspire me!
Thanks

Greg responds...

1. Pure earnestness.

2. Check out the timezones.

3. Do you mean his t-shirt?

4. I don't understand this question.

Did Adrian Pasdar and Khary Payton really only have one line in Misplaced, or did they provide grunts too?

Greg responds...

In "Misplaced"? Khary had 19 lines. And Adrian wasn't in it at all.

If you mean "Coldhearted", Khary had two lines as Aqualad, one as Brick and three as State Trooper #1. Adrian had two lines as Hugo Strange, two as National Guardsman #1 and 2 as Chicago Cop #1.

And for the record, Miguel Ferrer had 2 lines as National Guardsman #2. Cree Summer had one line as Highway Patrolman #1, which we had to pitch WAY down, because the animation came back with the speaker being a male patrolman instead of the female patrolwoman we had called for.

Hello Mr. Greg Weisman,

This is my second attempt at posting #12; this will be part A of the posting. Honestly, I don't know what I did wrong to get my posting deleted. I looked it up just to be safe to see if it was approved and it wasn't there... I'll give you the first five questions, which were in regards to the highly anticipated Young Justice: Invasion. PLEASE understand that NONE of these questions are asking for sensitive information (ie. the overall plot, episode summaries, etc.). All these questions that I give you are asked in a careful manner so that there would be no risk of leaking any sensitive information whatsoever. If any of them do, just ignore that specific question. Besides, I'm guessing by the time you respond to this, Season One will be officially over, and we'll be waiting for months with anticipation for Season Two, so hopefully no harm should be done in this posting. So here we go, again!

1. By the time Season One of Young Justice is over, what is moral of the entire season that we will have learned? For Season Two, what is the moral we are expected to learn? There's always something important to learn; that's the fact of life.

2. If the theme of Season One is all about secrets and lies, then what is the theme that we should expect from Season Two? I'm guessing that while it's different from that of Season One, it's just as equally important.

3. From a list of adjectives, which are the best examples to describe the upcoming Season Two? (ie. heart-pounding? exciting?)

4. From a list of adjectives, which are the best examples to describe the positions of each of the members of The Team (where they stand) as they transition from the events of Season One to the events of the upcoming Season Two? (ie. depressing? heart-breaking?)

5. From a list of adjectives, which are the best examples to describe what the fans’ expectations for the upcoming Season Two should be? The nature of this question should not be confused with that of question #3; they are NOT the same. (ie. thrilled?)

Hope it all works out this time. Keep up the good work, and keep making Young Justice the best DC animated cartoon it can be! I have absolute confidence in your abilities and those of your co-workers! Believe it!

Greg responds...

1a. I think the assumption within the question is overly simplistic. There are some basic themes to the series as a whole, and some obvious morals one could draw from events, but that's not the type of show we're writing here.

1b. There IS always something important to learn, but I'm going to let you take from the series what you take from it. I'm not going to dictate a moral. And OBVIOUSLY, if I did have a moral for Season Two, I sure wouldn't tell it to you now: SPOILER REQUEST. NO COMMENT.

2. It's still secrets and lies: that's the major theme for the SERIES, not just a single season. Other themes include (but are not limited to) "Growing Up" and "Coming of Age".

3. I'll let you pick your own.

4. CGYJ, you MUST see that this single question 4 is at least eight questions at once. And in any case, I'm not answering it. This forum is NOT designed for me to interpret your viewing experience. You can do that without me.

5. I get that it's a different question, I just don't get why GREG WEISMAN should be answering it. How can I dictate fan expectations?

Are Flash and/or Kid Flash capable of doing relatively complicated things at super-speed? Could they use their speed, for example, to assemble a store-bought bookcase or put together a jigsaw puzzle?

One more question, can you provide or link to some sort of map or floor plan of the cave?

Greg responds...

1. Flash MIGHT be able to. But Kid Flash's speed is all about acceleration and deceleration. I'm not saying he couldn't do it faster than, say, Artemis. But he's not going to do it in a split-second.

2. Nope. That's proprietary.

Batman said that it took eight leaguers four hours to beat amazo, but superboy, robin and kid flash were able to beat him on their own and im assumming based on the time of day that they did it in alot less than four hours, so whats up with that?

Greg responds...

What's up with that is Ivo's presence, obviously. With the Team, Amazo was hampered by having to protect Ivo. With the League, Ivo wasn't there.

Hi Greg.
A couple of Coldhearted questions:
I noticed Aquaman and Aqualad seemed to have little protection from the cold compared to the members of the Team. Was this a deliberate choice to show that they and other Atlanteans have a resilience to cold temperatures?

It was implied that the Zeta tube system could reach Seattle if it was active. Just how widespread is the system? Does it focus on the home cities of League and Team members, and other large American cities? Can it reach large foreign cities?

So far we have seen stealth outfits and arctic outfits. Will we see other alternate
uniforms as the series progresses?

Compliments on another great episode.

Greg responds...

1. Yes.

2. The network includes most major cities in the U.S. and scattered cities throughout the world.

3. SPOILER REQUEST. NO COMMENT.

Though I haven't seen "Coldhearted" yet, I've read a bit about it, and learned that Perdita originated in a Green Arrow story that you wrote a couple of years ago, meaning that you created the character. Did you name her after the Perdita of "The Winter's Tale"? (I thought it likely, given your fondness for Shakespeare, but wanted to make certain.)

Greg responds...

Yes. The Lost Girl.

Ishmael writes...

First off, I'd like to thank you for a great run on shows. I've been a fan since I was watching Gargoyles as a kid.

Second, I have just one question for you. In some versions of the character, Captain Marvel is shown to have the six figures that empower him communicating him after he transforms into the Big Red Cheese. Whether it's actual conversations, general feelings, talking to him in Billy's dreams, or just whispering advice and commands into his head, it's there. Then again, in some versions there isn't any kind of communication and they just give him their powers.

Does this occur in this version of the good Captain?

Greg responds...

SPOILER REQUEST. NO COMMENT.
