1. Besides being a butler for the Wayne family, what else is known about Alfred’s early life before he became a butler?

2. In the film Batman Begins, there was a line spoken by Rachel Dawes, a childhood friend of Bruce Wayne. I can’t remember the exact words, but I think she said, “It’s not about who we are, but what we do that defines us.” Given what happened on “Usual Suspects,” was the lesson you wanted us to learn from that episode was loosely based on that quote from the movie?

Greg responds...

1. Plenty.

2. It wasn't at all based on the movie quote - which I'd completely forgotten - though the sentiment was similar. (It's not like that's a new lesson in pop culture. For example, Gandalf says a more memorable version - to me, at least - of the same thing to Frodo in "The Fellowship of the Ring".)

1. In this article from October 2010 (http://io9.com/5662361/the-creators-of-green-lantern-and-young-justice-drop-major-spoilers-about-dcs-new-tv-shows), it was stated "the villains will however be making their own covert ops young superhero team to counteract Young Justice." What team was the article talking about, the Injustice League, Riddler's team at the start of "Usual Suspects," or was the article in error?

2. In this Ask Greg reply (http://www.s8.org/gargoyles/askgreg/search.php?rid=921), you stated season one's 179 name characters included some who were cut such as Catherine Cobert. Of the number of characters cut, were any of them also characters that have only appeared in the tie-in comic?

3. On November 18, 2011, the master timeline for Young Justice was at 185 pages. How many pages is it at currently?

Greg responds...

1. I honestly don't remember what got said vs. what was written in the article, but I think Brandon and I were referring to stuff we were germinating for Season Two. For example, our take on the Fearsome Five (Psimon, Mammoth, Shimmer, Devastation and Icicle Jr.) did appear in Season Two. And there's more to come.

2. Uh... maybe. I can't remember.

3. It's currently 201 pages long. And I need to update it this week.

You said before that there isn't any recorded, on camera footage of the voice actors for Young Justice. Why did you record behind the scenes stuff for The Spectacular Spider-Man but not for Young Justice?

Greg responds...

The Sony folks recorded stuff and encouraged us to record stuff on Spidey. Then they didn't use any of it.

No one at Warners ever claimed they were going to use that kind of footage, and none was recorded or requested.

I'll leave it to you to decide which scenario is most frustrating.

1. Does Kaldur, and by extension Orin, need to keep in regular contact with water, or they'll dry out or get sick or whatever?
2. When Kaldur comes on land and uses his lungs, does it feel normal and natural like when humans use their lungs, or is it harder for him?

Greg responds...

1. Yes, but not like hourly (as in the old days) or anything like that.

2. He uses his lungs under the water too. He just fills them with oxygen manufactured by his gills, not sucked in through his nose or mouth. (Or maybe I'm wrong. I'm not a pseudo-scientist, I just work with pseudo-science on T.V.)

I asked before if Kaldur and Garth hung out at all in between Downtime and Auld Acquaintance, but I also meant to say 'not counting issues 14 and 15 of the companion comic book'. So did they?

Greg responds...

Yes.

Sorry for the multiple posts, but i didn't want to risk asking too many questions in one post.
1.)Do the team help each other out with schoolwork or compete with grades? Wally's really good with science, but do any of the others have subjects they're really good at?

Thats it, thanks in advance Mr.Weisman!

Greg responds...

I'm sure, they all help when asked. And different kids are good at different subjects, with considerable overlap.

Hi. Someone else requested a video of Jason and Stephanie performing Wally and Artemis. I'd like to second that! They are soooo funny. I realize that it is too late to do this for the season 2 DVD, but do you think it would be possible to produce something like this as a special feature for a season 3 DVD? (Obviously, I am assuming there will be a third season.)

Greg responds...

They don't seem to be putting too many extras on DVDs these days, I'm afraid. In any case, it's not up to me.

Hi again. I'm excited for season 2 and can't wait to see the season finale (in English, I'll admit to spoiling it for myself). Sorry for repeats/dumb questions/clogging up the line wit mass questions (apology for past grievances). Mostly artist quality questions.
1. Do you have any say over the character designs while they're being made, or just the final cut?
2. How long does it take to design a character for a show, and do some people take longer to design than others based on things like gender or if they're a hero or villain?
3. Bourassa's designs for most of the JLA have been carried over into many projects, including Young Justice, so would a design for a villain be carried from another project?
4. I love the designs for everyone on Young Justice, particularly Klarion, the Brain and Queen Bee. The Brain looks so unique from any other version, Queen Bee's outfit looks perfect, and Klarion looks way better than in the DCAU. Hell, he looks kind of sexy to me.

We're both a little disturbed by that last one, aren't we? Keep doing the good work, send by boundless praise to every artist on the show, and I'll seek some clearly needed help.

Greg responds...

1. I have input at every stage.

2. This is more of a question for Phil. I'm sure he'll be thrilled that I'm linking his site: http://philbourassa.deviantart.com/?rnrd=7885

3. Nothing's been 'carried over'. Sometimes, Phil makes a similar choice from a previous project. But every character in YJ was designed for YJ.

4. Will do. Thanks.

1-Has Garth ever been to the Surface?

2- Do the Atlanteans know the Amazons, since they share some myths?

I guess half of season 2 will have aired by the time you get to this question,
I hope a season 3 has already been announced!

Greg responds...

1. As of when?

2. Aquaman knows Wonder Woman, at least.

So which companies have the greatest profit/influence, Lexcorp, Wayneindustries or what even Ollie runs.

Greg responds...

Ollie has no company - he's always just on this side of being broke - and he would tell you that means HE is winning.

1) Will there be another pack of cards available at the July comic-on this year, this time with other characters on them like say Hawkman, John Stewart, Blue Beetle etc?

2) On the off chance that the new intro for Young Justice: Invasion is shortened for time by Cartooon Network like they're doing with the season 1intro at the moment, can you let us know the running time of the full Invasion intro please? Is it 20 seconds long?

3) In the time between Downtime and Auld Acquaintance, did Kaldur hang out with Garth at all?

Greg responds...

1. I wish, but no.

2. We never did a long version for Season Two.

3. Yes. (Have you picked up our companion comic?)

1) Did Wonder Girl (Donna Troy) become available for use before "Usual Suspects" was written?

2) If so, why did you decide to make Rocket the 8th member instead?

3) Was Rocket mainly added for ethnic diversity? I know you'e fan of Rocket and Icon as well, but was diversity the main reason?

4a) Any particular reason why you felt that as many as 3 of the Team's members needed to have evil fathers (or an evil donor, in Luthor's case)?

4b) What made you opt to go the 'rough background/from a broken home' route with Artemis when you could have just done so with Aqualad (who is also descended from a criminal)? Doing so would have created more variety in the characters' backgrounds. Apologies if this question comes across as rude, I do like Artemis but I feel that her saga could have been covered by Aqualad (aside from the love interest for Wally bit lol.)

Greg responds...

1. I don't remember the exact date, but she became available AFTER we had already set the entire first season.

2. Rocket was ALWAYS planned to be the NINTH member from day one, which is why we seeded her in a handful of times in earlier episodes.

3. Diversity was a reason, but it was pretty far down on the list. As you mentioned, I always liked Rocket and liked what she could bring to the Team in those last couple episodes.

4a. Honestly, it just worked out that way. We actually de-evil'd Wally's dad back to his pre-Millennium good dad state.

4b. We weren't trying to 'COVER' beats like it's some kind of checklist. We wanted the AQUALAD you've seen on the show, the one with a solid parental childhood who had been one of the big four teen sidekicks. (The fact that we've since learned that he's Black Manta's son, doesn't change the guy you knew in Season One, who believed his father was Calvin Durham.) Likewise, we wanted the ARTEMIS you saw on the series, with the background we gave her. We didn't need and weren't looking to combine these elements into one character to service some pre-ordained needs in as few characters as possible. The whole process is WAY more organic than that.

Hello again, Mr. Weisman. My questions today relate to Ra's al Ghul and the League of Shadows.
1. Has Ra's ever been an assassin himself, or does he merely command them?
2. Did Ra's found the League of Shadows?
3. Whether Ra's founded the group or not, when was the League of Shadows founded?
4. When did Cheshire join the League of Shadows?
5. You've identified Talia's mother as a woman named Melisande. Was/is she also Ra's' wife?
Thanks so much for taking the time to answer my questions, and those of many others. It is much appreciated.

Greg responds...

1. He's killed people, if that's what you're asking.

2. Yes.

1-When will the comic book catch up and begin telling stories of season 2? Also will the comic tie into the video game?

2-Dont you think it would be a good idea to publish character profiles with a few informations, to make the question line a bit smaller?

Greg responds...

1. Starting with the VERY end of issue #19 (out now) - but really starting with issue #20 (out in September).

1a. Given enough issues, sure.

2. We've got FAQs up the whazoo. Trouble is few check them.

It appears my last post was deleted in light of your new no-long-lists policy (I have to say I agree, though this time around, my list was only three questions.) So, I resubmit one question, and come up with two new ones (all sort of Captain Atom-y related). I hope it gets through.

1. In the whole JLA/I/E/Extreme Justice era of the 90s, Captain Atom did not get along with Wonder Woman. Green Arrow and Hawkman were never big friends, and Batman seems to detest anything that glows green. Are there any "fights" or rivalries in the League in YJ, or are they all big super friends?

2. Seeing as how the Vietnam War is now over 40 years ago, and not 20 as it was when you and Cary wrote the Captain Atom comics, how does it influence characters? Rako was made a kid (and around 50 now?), but how old are Rois and Eiling? They both have to be well over sixty, or even seventy.

3. Which Captain Atom-derived character is your favorite, Major Force or Bombshell?

Greg responds...

1. Without going into details, they all get along professionally, but some are better friends than others.

2. Yep. It's an issue that I've largely avoided dealing with so far. But eventually. The main shift that through me so far, was how old I had to make Peggy Adams Eiling.

3. I'm not that familiar with Bombshell, and I co-created Major Force, so... take a guess.

hope this is good with the new guidelines.

1. Is Aquaman king of Atlantis, or King of All Seas?
2. Is all of Atlantis in the Atlantic? I'm just asking because "Lemuria" shares its name with the hypothetical sunken land in the Indian Ocean.
3. Is Poseidonis in the northern of southern hemisphere?

Greg responds...

1. Technically, his title is "Orin, King of Atlantis, Poseidonis and the Seven Seas".

2. SPOILER REQUEST. NO COMMENT.

3. Northern.

1. Correct me if I’m somehow mistaken, but wasn’t there supposed to be some kind of catastrophe that nearly wiped out the Martian race at some point on Earth-16 or did that catastrophe never happened at all and all the Martians still alive?

2. Were ALL White Martians treated as second-class citizens, or were there those within the Red/Green Martian population who might have been sympathetic towards them? It would be hard to believe that the ENTIRE Red and Green Martian population would be so cold towards the White Martian population.

Greg responds...

1. Before I answer, please tell me where "wasn't there supposed to be" comes from. I'm curious.

2. Nothing's monolithic. For example, J'onn obviously has no anti-White bias.

Derek writes...

In the marvel Avengers Academy series, the cast is made up of characters that could have potentially become supervillains. The goal of the Avengers is to basically put them on the straight and narrow.
Are there deliberate similarities in this concept to Young Justice.I notice that Miss Martian, Superboy, Artemis and possibly Aqualad all have villanious ancestry. Also the loss of Zatanna and Robin's parents could have served as catalyst to send them down a dark path.

Greg responds...

I think we deal with this most directly with Artemis and Superboy, but the idea of the road not taken is an important theme to the series.

1. Out of uniform/costume, are there any significant physiological difference between Thanagarians and humans along the same lines as those between humans and kryptonians, or humans and Martians (ie slowed aging, enhanced strength or vision, weakness to elements etc.)?

2. Would you please clarify Hawkman and Hawkwoman's powers on Earth 16? (as an aside, I hope they have some form of telescopic vision, I always like when that was included as part of their powers in the comics)

3. We've only seen Hawkman and Hawkwoman use maces so far. Are these special Thanagarian maces and do they ever use other archaic style weaponry (ie spears, nets, swords, or shields)?

4. At top flight speed can the Hawks keep up with the likes of Superman and Captain Marvel?

5. In the comics, the Hawks feared using Thanagarian weapons and technology on Earth in case they fell into the wrong hands. Thus they started using ancient Earth weaponry instead. Does this part of their origin hold true on Earth-16?

I love the show and the character designs for Hawkman and Hawkwoman on Earth-16. I hope at some point you delve into how they came to be on Earth in the first place. Also, I hope we get more scenes that focus on how the media and the general public react to the League and superheroes. I loved hearing the reporters questions after the induction ceremony in the Usual Suspects. It's always fascinating to think about how ordinary people would react to such a strange world. Also, I hope we get more school scenes for Wally, Dick, and Artemis.

Young Justice deserves 10 seasons and a movie. Keep up the great work!

1. Well, there are the wings...

2. No.

3. SPOILER REQUEST. NO COMMENT.

4. If all four are each flying at their top speed, then no.
