hey Greg!
i think its great that you let fans ask questions, especially since you must get frustrated when fans go and ask the same questions over and over, so i checked and double checked the archives before asking this, but if its a repeat, i apologize.

1)in many comic books, more adult like topics are discussed. (ie: child abuse, drug abuse, pregnancy)and i know you have cleared the subject of Wally's child abuse multiple times, but are such topics allowed to be discussed at such a children oriented network?

2) I've heard of other comics books and shows that the public in that such universe is convinced that superheroes don't have secret identities, is that true of earth-16?

3)in the most recent episode, it was shown captain marvel saying Shazam! and transferring to the adult universe, and rescuing his pilot. i assume that the lightning that struck him destroyed the plane, but did the lightning not affect Amber, or did she somehow fall out of the plane beforehand?

thanks for taking the time to answer these :)

Hey, Mr. Greg Weisman,

I made a mistake on my last posting. That last one was actually my sixth posting, not my fifth. The one I’m doing now is my seventh posting.

I’ve got a quick interesting question I need to ask you. Has a prequel movie (which would probably focus on the Justice League, with the sidekicks in a minor role) ever been considered by your team to help lead into the beginning of the events of Season One, or to help connect the plot elements of Seasons One and Two?

Thanks for taking the time to read this question. Hope to find out how you will respond. Oh, I almost forgot, on my fifth posting, the one I did last night with the list of names, Wizard’s first name was misspelled. I meant to say William, not Willaim.

Hi Question about Kid Flash and Artemis:

What were they doing together that they walked in together in the beginning of "Revelation"?

Anonymous writes...

1. Going off from what someone previously asked, can Artemis speak as many languages as her father and sister?
2. I was just wondering, do you think that in general Artemis is confident in most social situations, or more shy/awkward?
3. How would you describe Artemis' relationship with Roy presently?
4. Who is Artemis' closest to on the team?

The entire team (except Artemis)saw how Wally reacted to Artemis' death in the simulation in "Failsafe." It would be apparent to all of them that Wally wouldn't have reacted that way unless he had very strong feelings for Artemis. Black Canary found out about it. So, isn't it reasonable to think that someone on the team told Artemis about Wally's reaction to her death and that Artemis would realize how Wally feels about her?

If you could, would you have put your Spectacular Spider man on the team?

Robert writes...

Why does Robin have two different kinds of batarangs? One kind is similar to Batman's while the other is more circular. Is there a reason for this?

Mike writes...

Were the alien ships in Failsafe based on any alien race in the comic? If so who were they?

Nathan writes...

1. What was the gem in Misplaced called?
2. Where did Ultra Humanite get his scar across his mouth?
3. Do you know why Young Justice Invasion only has 20 episodes instead of 26?

Hey Greg!

I recently saw this line from an interview with Steven Bochco in the early 80's, talking about Hill Street Blues (which currently has its first two-and-a-half seasons on Hulu Plus, by the way):

"Maybe the biggest problem with Hill Street, in terms of popular success, is that it is a show that demands to be watched. And most people do not watch television. They simply are in its presence."

I love that quote. What an insightful way to encapsulate about what was essential and great about Hill Street Blues, without going into all the details of what made it so outstanding. Just leave at this: unlike nearly anything before it, in many ways it was a show that demanded to be watched. I think that characteristic also applies to Gargoyles as well, no doubt due to the major influence Hill Street Blues had on the show (as you've often mentioned).

Nowadays, that quality, of being a show that "demands to be watched," is characteristic of so many excellent shows that appear on HBO, Showtime or AMC (before hitting DVD boxsets and iTunes), places where popular success isn't the one and only yardstick. And again and again, we've seen how this kind of series can flourish in the atmosphere of creative freedom offered by these outlets.

Can viewers hope that someday soon, that kind of environment will produce an animated serial drama that has the same level of quality, complexity and acclaim as these channels' current headline series? If so, what might it take for that to happen?
