1 Why did G. Gordon insult gretchen and her devices on his show if they are both on the same side
2 Have ultra humanite and granny goodness always disliked each other
Greg responds...
1. They're competitive - but he also wanted her to seem sympathetic to the audience.
2. I don't think they've known each other all that long. But I think it was becoming increasingly clear that Granny wasn't fully servicing the Light's agenda nor was she big on obeying the Light's bylaws of cooperation. For her part, I think Granny has some barely hidden contempt for all mortals.

In the YJ-verse are Kryptonians considered stronger than (Greek) Gods and demi-gods?
Greg responds...
I think you'd have to evaluate that on a case-by-case basis.

Does Arsenal still act too recklessy when dealing with lex luthor. Or has he managed to keep his anger under control.
Greg responds...
As of when?

Mr. Weisman,
In regards to Dick's uncle, aunt, and cousin in the Earth-16 continuity, are they from his paternal side of his family since they all shared the last name of Grayson?
Greg responds...
Yes.
(Didn't that seem obvious?)

Mr. Weisman,
In regards to the Earth-16 version of Thirteen's parents, are their names Terrence "Terry" Thurston and Meihui Lan-Thurston; with the latter's maiden name being Lan?
Greg responds...
You're right about her dad. I'd have to research her mom's name before I could confirm.

Mr. Weisman,
In the Earth-16 continuity, are the full names of Barry's parents Henry Paul Allen and Nora Thompson-Allen; with the latter's maiden name being Thompson?
Greg responds...
I'd have to do research to confirm that.

how did you cast Maggie Q as Wonder Woman?
Greg responds...
Um. Brandon and Jamie and I discussed it. Thought she would be great, based on her work as Nikita. Offered her the role (probably through her reps). She said yes (probably through her reps).
Jordan writes...
Was cyborgs Outsider designation D08 before he joined the League? And did the D06 designation get skipped in memory of Brion’s time on the Outsiders?
Greg responds...
Brion's Outsiders designation wasn't skipped in memory of him. It was his before he left the Outsiders. And (with the exception of the hijacked designations briefly assigned to Vandal, Klarion and Teekl), designations are not reused.
And yes, Cyborg had an Outsiders designation before he joined the League, at which point he received a League designation.
As for specific numbers, the policy has generally been not to reveal them outside canon material.

1. Did Arsenal and the 4 Runaway Meta-teens (Virgil Hawkins, Asami "Sam" Koizumi, Tye Longshadow and Eduardo "Ed" Dorado, Jr.) ever learn about how Kaldur faked his betrayal, Artemis faked her death and how Nightwing kept them both a secret from the Justice League and the Team?
2. If they have then how did they react to it after learning about it?
Greg responds...
1. Eventually.
2. I'll leave that to your imagination. But I'd think that their reactions weren't too different from those we depicted on the series - except for the fact that none of them had any real relationship with (or even knowledge of) Artemis. And only Arsenal had any ties to Kaldur or Dick.

Are Cissie and Roy friends? Do they get along?
Greg responds...
Yes and yes.

Was Red Arrow's obsession with recovering Speedy in season 2 a nod/replacement for his comic book drug addiction?
Greg responds...
Not particularly. But we tried to imply that he already had addiction issues - as a result of his obsession - leading into the intervention that his friends and family staged on that rooftop in "Salvage." I think that while going undercover he began using.

Is klarion still on bad terms with the other chaos lords?
Greg responds...
They have memory issues, so... sometimes?
Anonymous writes...
Vandal's design (at least his face) is way more different on season 3. I was surprised to see that he got a new design on season 4, way more similar to how he looked on seasons 1-2. Why did you guys decide to change it back (if we can put it in that way)?
(also, I know you don't like Deathstroke's ponytail from season 2, but everything else on that design is outstanding, can't say I haven't gotten a bit upset because his design wasn't also "changed back" xD)
Greg responds...
It's been a while now, but I think we felt that some of the designs in S3 of YJ may have moved toward the DC Animated movie style, which Phil Bourassa also designed, and we wanted - in S4 - to pull back to some of what we liked better in characters like Vandal and Batman from the first two seasons. But I truly hated that ponytail, so changing Deathstroke back - even changing him back but losing the ponytail - wasn't a priority when we had so many characters to design anew.
Curious writes...
1a) Did you (or anyone on the YJ show) ever come up with a layout/floor plan for Mt. Justice?
2) If not, do you know if the Wikia article is accurate in regards to the amount of rooms? Or are there other rooms that weren't explored?
3) How many living quarters are there on Mt. Justice?
Thank you and I appreciate all the work you do!
Greg responds...
1a. Not in detail or to my knowledge.
2. I haven't studied the Wikia article. I'm sure there were at least some rooms that weren't seen.
3. I dunno.

1. As in what is the hawk couples favorite activity as a couple
2.does the hawk couple get frisky
3. And what is their favorite sexual activities since they are a couple ( this is a clarifying version of my previous question.)
Greg responds...
1. I don't know. Honestly, we haven't spent enough time with them for me to think that deeply about their off hours.
2. Yes.
3. I'll leave that to your imagination.

Hi, I loved Catwoman: Hunted and wanted to ask a little about what separates it from YJ/Earth-16. You've said it's cannon adjascent, like the Green Arrow short.
There are more obvious disconnects between YJ and GA, most notably at the end of the short Vertigo reveals himself and is captured, which conflicts with him having diplomatic immunity in Coldhearted. The differences in CH, at least based on what we know of Earth-16 so far, are more minor and seem like they could be easily explained.
Similarly, while GA has a more similar visual style to YJ than the anime CH, the designs from CH feel much closer to YJ than GA does. To me CH's Batwoman and Cheshire look very much like YJ's Batwoman and Cheshire drawn by a different artist, but GA's Green Arrow and Vertigo look like a very different Arrow and Vertigo drawn by the same artist as YJ's Arrow. So to me CH actually fits with YJ better.
Heck, CH even has a 16 gag - the assassin Catwoman and Batwoman compete over on the Eiffel tower would be #16 for either of them.
So that leads me to ask:
1) Are there specific things that set CH apart from YJ/Earth-16? If so, what are they?
2) Do you have an Earth-16 version of events in mind?
3) When does the Earth-16 version of CH take place?
4) Would an Earth-16 version add significant YJ characters, like you said the YJ version of the GA short would involve Artemis and Red Arrow?
Greg responds...
1. Unfortunately, I can't remember any off the top of my head. I wanted to make Cw:H as close to Earth-16 as possible, but I couldn't get too orthodox about it. So there are probably a few things here or there that might not quite sqaure.
2. It's basically the same set of events.
3. I haven't placed it on the timeline... and maybe that's where it goes a tad south. It might have a few timeline problems fitting in. But nothing that I couldn't figure out. I basically figured out how to fit in the Green Arrow short in Young Justice: Targets.
4. Ultimately, the YJ version of the GA short (in Targets) did involve Red Arrow in a kind of prequel story, and Artemis in a kind of sequel story - but the basic airport story of the short didn't require either. I'd try to make due with the many, many characters already in Cw:H, I imagine.
Nathan writes...
Have you ever made a "cameo" in anything you've worked on? So for example, a background character resembling you walking in the backshot of a scene, or anything of the sort.
Greg responds...
Yep. I'm in The Spectacular Spider-Man, in the opening titles, alongside Vic Cook. And they also used that model to play a truck driver in an episode. This wasn't my call. I think our character designer, Sean "Cheeks" Galloway, was being, well, cheeky.
Of course, I've also voiced small roles in a number of my series. I was a commando in Gargoyles, Donald Menken in The Spectacular Spider-Man, Hide and an unhoused man in 3x3 Eyes, and Lucas "Snapper" Carr, Ultra-Humanite and Lobo's Belt in Young Justice. Oh, and I was Opie in Rain of the Ghosts. There are probably a few more examples, too, that just aren't coming to mind at the moment.
Nada writes...
Hey Greg, been a fan of your work a long time! Just one thing I'm curious about-
Halo didn't explore being a Muslim until s4, and explicitly said they weren't Muslim in s3. So why is Halo considered Muslim rep in s3? I just don't get what all the arguing is about if Halo wasn't Muslim at all!
Greg responds...
I'm not sure why you're asking me, honestly. I can't take responsibility for the entire internet.
I assume the hijab they continued to wear had something to do with it, but Halo was a new entity and their residual Gabrielleness made them feel more comfortable wearing it than not. And as Madia told them in S4, it's fine for Violet to continue wearing it while they are in the process of making up their mind.
Jack writes...
Before the breakup did Queen Perdita ever saw a picture of Garfield Logan before his hair and skin turned green?
Greg responds...
I'm sure she did at some point.
Suzie writes...
1. How close are Superboy and Black Canary? Do they share a somewhat familial bond and are they still close by season 4?
2. Has Garth moved on from losing Tula or is he still struggling to move on like Artemis did?
3. When exactly did Cyborg join the Justice League and how long was he with the Outsiders before joining the League?
4. When did Conner and Megan graduate and move in together? Year and day please.
Greg responds...
1. They're close. But, familial... no. I wouldn't think so. She's a friend and mentor.
2. I'm not sure what you mean by "moved on". I'm not sure I love that phrase. I'm sure he has good days and bad days.
3. Cyborg joined the Justice League in December of Team Year Nine. He joined the Outsiders in January of that same year.
4. They graduated high school in June, Team Year Two. I don't have a specific date. They graduated college in Team Year Six, but because of the Invasion, they may have graduated late. I don't have a specific date. Sometime after graduating, they moved in to the apartment above Lucas Carr's garage. Again, I don't have a specific date, but they were already living there together by July 29, Team Year Eight.

Hello Mr.Weisman
How did bane almost defeat batman in hand to hand combat? Shouldn't batman be more skilled and experienced (If not stronger) than bane? Was he holding back or he is just getting older and is not as good as he used to be?
And sorry about the grammatical mistakes, I am not a native English speaker.
Greg responds...
Why would you think that Batman would be more skilled and experienced than Bane? They have parallel backgrounds, and Bane's been literally fighting for his life since early childhood, i.e. years before Bruce started training in earnest.
Chad writes...
Why did you have Tara say mother of goat instead of mother of God in young justice outsiders?
Greg responds...
It started with Brion, not Tara. And, candidly, it started with Brion's voice actor, Troy Baker, who said it once during a recording session, and we thought it was so funny, we used it and kept using it. Then we decided it was a common (translated) expression in Markovia - a less blasphemous euphemism for Mother of God. So, since Tara is Markovian, it made sense for her to say it, too.
Mark Thomas writes...
With the release of Catwoman: Hunted (no spoilers) that your state is "canon adjacent," similar to DC Showcase: Green Arrow (also did you’re written for that short film back in the 2010s). Thought if there are any plans to expand the Earth-16 just beyond Young Justice.
What other characters or team that you’re like and anyone else involved in DC that wants to next? Not only you’re guys making no longer Young Justice episodes. You're making the Young Justice Universe.
Greg responds...
The list is endless. Whatever they'd let us do. Whenever they'd let us do it.
Caleb writes...
I know this isn't that uncommon in the fandom, but I am obsessed with the Zeta designations used on YJ. I have a spreadsheet tracking revealed designations, every time they were used on screen, on panel, on Ask Greg, or in promotional material, and a (very rough) timeline of when each number was activated. I even have predictions of who might be the unrevealed numbers. My white whale is the A-series, which by its nature isn't easy to predict. I know it's useless to ask you to reveal the unknown numbers, but I feel like this question is playing fair with the Ask Greg rules: Has the audience been introduced to every individual who has been granted an A-series designation?
And since I have a couple more question slots:
2. Does Captain Atom undergo a significant enough physical change when he becomes Nathanial Adams that he would need a separate designation number, similar to the Marvel family?
3. What name is used for Billy Batson's A-05 designation? Is it William Batson, like how Mal Duncan is designated Malcolm Duncan? I can't imagine the JL computer reading out "Billy" without laughing.
4. Same question as 3, but for Lieutenant Marvel/Freddy Freeman's A designation. Is it Freddy or Frederick or some other permutation?
5. And one that I'm fairly sure will be hit with the SPOILER REQUEST: Are there any C-designations besides Wolf and Sphere?
Greg responds...
1. I'm afraid not. I just took a quick glance at the list, and there are at least four characters who are on it who haven't yet appeared. I had to plan ahead, you see.
2. No.
3. It's Billy.
4. Freddy.
5. Yes. I have Cs up to C-07. And honestly, I don't think they'd be all that hard to guess.

How did you cast Jenifer Lewis? She's not commonly seen doing voice over work. Whose idea was it to cast here? How is she?
Greg responds...
Jamie Thomason suggested her, I believe. (Though, it's been awhile.) And she was great. I haven't seen her since, so I hope she's still doing well.
