I have another Blue Devil related question for you Greg. Blue Devil was considered for membership by the League, but did not join (at least not before the time skip). Why did the Justice League decide not to invite him? It's clear why Guy Gardner and the members of The Team weren't invited, but for what reason did they pass on Blue Devil? Was it because he was too inexperienced, or because none of the Justice League members knew him very well? Or was Blue Devil invited after all, but he declined to join? It would be very in character for him if he did decline.

Greg responds...

I think they felt - at that time, that he was too inexperienced. Later, I think he declined.

Your comments regarding Megan's ethnicity are very interesting. Do you see her feeling towards her green martian form are more in alignment with how a post op transexual feels about their new body?(I.E This was always who she was) Or do you think it's more alignment with some very dark skinned women bleaching their skin because they feel unattractive by western ideas of beauty? It seems like you could go either way here.

Greg responds...

It seems you could. But I don't think Green or White skin is the point. I think her human Megan Wheeler inspired form is the point.

Something i've been curious about in 119 when Batman freed himself from Thorn's vines as he lands we see Faust launching energy blasts at someone off screen so was he still fighting Red Tornado, or had that fire blast he used at the beginning of the fight already knocked him out?

Greg responds...

From memory, I think he was still fighting Tornado.

I'm confused you said Megan/M'gann is the daughter of a female green martian and a male white martian-
so if she's part green why were full greens being jerks to her 24/7?
is intercolor marrige common(i mean has it ever happened besides this)?
so technically is she's part green she was'nt really lying about who/what she was?
so J'onn is aware she IS his sisters daughter right?

Greg responds...

1. Compare the trials and tribulations of mixed race children in almost every society on our world.

2. Not common, no. But not unheard of.

3. By Martian standards, she was.

4. Yes.

1. So the reason Guardian was in a trance-like state in the Season One finale was because he was a clone of the real Jim Harper all that time?

2. Catherine Cobert appears to have an accent. What is her nationality?

3. How does Paula Crock feel about her daughter's relationship with Wally West?

Greg responds...

1. Nope. It's because he was a clone of ROY Harper, and they had used his pre-programmed code word to shut him down.

2. She's French.

3. Happy, generally.

Hi again greg, If I remember correctly, it's been established that Martians age 1 year for every 3 earth years, New gods from Apocolips and New genesis are ageless, Lords of chaos and order are ageless, Amazons are immortal and Superboy currently can't age visibly.
1. This made me wonder if there were any other aliens or metahumans that age at a different rate than humans or have a longer lifespan, such as maybe Rannians, Genomorphs and Clayface since he got his powers from overexposure to the Lazarous pits.
2. Back in infiltrator, Robin used an override code to get past the security at Wyne Tech. If I'm correct, the code RG4 consists of his initials (Richard Grayson)and 4 would either mean that he's the 4th person to have a similar override code or he has 3 more for other uses. If it's the first case, would the 3 other people be Bruce Wayne, Lucius Fox and Alfred Pennyworth?
3. In the episode Salvage, when Superboy said he could relate to the Appellaxian Golem when it said through blue beetle that it wanted to end the pain and essentially destroy itself, does that imply Superboy has contemplated suicide at one point? I just want to be sure about whether or not that was the case.
Thank you for your time and I hope the long queue isn't too tough on you.

Greg responds...

Amazons are only immortal (i.e. unaging) on Themyscira. If they leave the island, they age normally.

1. I'm sure there are, but I'm not going to go down a list. Clayface though is kept alive by a morphic field. This may grant him a certain immortality as long as the field survives. No telling whether or not the field may break down over time.

2. Possibly...

3. The "noise" that came with "birth" was the part of the Golem's speech that Superboy identified with.

1.-Does the pouch on Lagoon boy's ankle contain anything or is it just decorative, and can he grow hair? i've noticed something that looks like a ponytail in some shots.
2-Did you give any thought to the tool on Tigress' back in her holo-mug shot?, if so would you mind sharing?
3-Is the orange suit Aquaman wears armor? because manta's laser sure ut throught it easily.

Greg responds...

1. It's not just decorative, but what he carries in there depends on what he feels he needs at any given time.

1a. No hair. That's a fin pony-tail.

2. I'm sure Phil did.

3. It's mail. But that doesn't make it invulnerable.

My questions are about the "kiss" of MM and SB in issue 15.
* Would she have done the same for Wally or Robin?
* How long were they liplocked until SB got a new breather?
* Did they feel awkward afterwords?
* Did they discuss it at all (afterwords)?

Greg responds...

1. Of course.

2. On and off.

3. Probably.

4. Definitely NOT. (I mean maybe MONTHS afterward, but not until after they were an actual couple.)

Legacy & Boomerang

I'm currently sitting in the Control Room at L.A. Studios while voice director Jamie Thomason records Mark Rolston as Lex Luthor for YOUNG JUSTICE LEGACY. Later today: Eric Lopez, Jesse McCartney and Cameron Bowen. More to come next week after I get back from visiting my daughter in New Orleans.

Also, James Harvey at Worlds Finest is reporting that reruns of YJ and YJ:I will be appearing on Boomerang:

http://www.worldsfinestonline.com/2012/10/29/young-justice-confirmed-joining-boomerang-line-up-starting-november-2012/

This is good news, and I'm guessing must be a direct result of fan response to the latest hiaturs.

Hi Greg,
This isn't a question, so I understand that it might be deleted, but I have no other way of contacting you, so I thought I might give it a shot.
I just wanted to thank you for an amazing show. You and Brandon have done an amazing job, along with everyone else who works on Young Justice. It's beautifully done, and I love it to the point of perhaps unhealthy obsession, but I like to think I'm just a really, really, really big fan.
I'm sure you don't remember this, but I came to your signing on Free Comic Book Day at Meltdown Comics, and I just wanted to let you know that that was a truly amazing moment for me. You are one of my biggest heroes, and the Young Justice issue you signed along with the photo my dad took of me with you are now two of my most prized possessions.
I can't wait for the rest of the season, and I'd just like to let you know that you have made one thirteen-year-old girl very, very, very, very happy.
And one more thing that actually is a question:
In an interview with IGN, you said: "Tune in and give us some huge ratings! Who knows, maybe it'll happen? Maybe we'll get that third season sooner than later!"
Where could we give you huge ratings, or who could we write to strongly advise that you get a third season?
Thanks for answering all these questions and being so patient with us!
P.S. You and Vic also did a great job on Mecha-nation! It's amazing!

Greg responds...

Thank you for the very kind words.

I do remember that Meltdown moment.

Ratings are determined at time of viewing. Really by people with Nielson boxes in their homes, though in theory, the more people watching, the more Nielson people watching. You can always express your fondness for the show directly to Cartoon Network.

Thanks again.

I have a few questions about the Bio Ship

1; What powers them

2; Do they eat? Drink? Defecate?

3; How long do they last?

Greg responds...

1. Fuel.

2. They absorb.

2a. See question 2.

2c. See question 1.

3. Their life-span is long, assuming no catastrophic injury.

Kevin writes...

Each member of the Light seems to represent a certain sphere of influence, Lex Luthor being business, the Brain science, Klarion magic, Queen Bee politics, Ocean Master the sea, with Vandal Savage representing experience as befits a leader or first among equals. My question is what Ra's Al Ghul's sphere of influence is and do you agree with this assessment?

Greg responds...

To a certain extent, yes. That was part of the equation. But not all of it. And there's some obvious overlap too.

Ra's represents the underworld, specifically the League of Shadows.

Does the Speed Force exist in Young Justice? I was confused by the character profiles that came out because I was certain that it did not, but Barry Allen's profile said his suit was Speed Force resistant.

BH writes...

Greg, I'm a big fan of Young Justice, and I think it's really great that you are willing to answer questions about your creations like this. I have 3 questions:

1)In "Salvage", Artemis and Wally go to school in Palo Alto. Is this meant to imply that they attend Stanford? I ask because I figure you won't be mentioning an actual university on the show.

2)Also in "Salvage", Red Arrow's apartment appears very similar to the apartment at the end of the "Under the Red Hood" movie. I'm guessing you recycled the animation to save money, but did you intend it to be a nod at the Jason Todd/Roy Harper Outlaws, or was it just coincidence?

3)In "Targets", during the scene outside Happy Harbor High School, there is a moment where 4 people wearing logos on their shirts are lined up as follows: Superman ("S"), the high school ("H"), Flash (a vertical lightning bolt), and Batman (which in this case looks a bit like a "T"). Was this meant to resemble a certain 4 letter word that would be inappropriate for a cartoon, or was it just a coincidence? I laughed when I saw it because it's pretty clever.

Anyway, thanks again for such a great show. I hope you get many more seasons!

Greg responds...

1. Yes.

2. It's the same apartment from "Auld Acquaintance".

3. I never noticed.

1. How did Count Vertigo retain his diplomatic immunity after openly unleashing giant mutant plants on the world for a huge ransom? Surely the international political fallout would force Vlatava to revoke it, or risk starting a war with one or more nations. I certainly can't see the USA turning a blind eye to a nation who had one of their diplomats openly committing what amounts to terrorist acts on American soil.

2. Who created the Kobra Venom? At the end of Drop Zone Brain says they can reverse engineer it, which I assume means it wasn't Brain. Is Kobra a scientist, or does he have a minion who is, and they created it?

3. Did the Team ever find out that Miss Martian mindblasted them into unconsciousness in Image? I realise this might be a spoiler request, but with the five year skip I'm not sure whether it was ever intended that it was going to be addressed.

Greg responds...

1. He released no plants in Vlatava. (It's more complicated than that, of course, but Perdita's hands were legally and politically tied.)

2. SPOILER REQUEST. NO COMMENT.

3. SPOILER REQUEST. NO COMMENT.

Voice Actor fan writes...

Hi Mr Weisman, I read your response a while back about how you pay your voice actors for their roles and after watching the episode 3 of season 2 I realized something. I noticed that Aquaman is voiced by Phil Lamar who previously voiced Green lantern John Stewart in Justice League, where as you have Kevin Michael Richardson voicing him. I was just wondering if you were aware of the fact and if, when first auditioning actors, thought about getting some of the previous actors to reprise their previous roles. I know that in some of the direct to DVD movies some of the former cast from previous works did voice the same character again.

Greg responds...

We didn't audition any Justice Leaguer except Superman. (And only him, because we wanted an actor who could play both Superboy and Superman.)

I am very aware of who played characters in the past, and we LARGELY chose to AVOID direct comparisons to previous works by NOT using the same actor in the same role. There were a few exceptions, such as Bruce Greenwood's Batman, where we felt the actor wasn't already over-identified with the part. But for the major leads from the old Justice League/Justice League Unlimited series, the truth is that if they played the role there, it all but eliminated our interest in having them play the rolls in YJ.

Just a couple questions:

1. Are Lagoon Boy's puns/slang something common to where he came from (I assume some city-state in Atlantis), or is it a style of speech unique to himself?

2. Seeing as Martians' shapeshifting occurs at a cellular level (as Miss M demonstrated in Image), does that mean they're "immune" to certain human diseases like AIDS?

Thanks in advance!

Greg responds...

1. It's a combo.

2. Um... maybe?

1 How old was Green Arrow when he started his career?
2 Was he ever marooned on Starfish Island on Earth-16?
4 Did he always have the mustache and beard, or did he get those after he lost his fortune like in the silver age?

Greg responds...

1. Twenty-three.

2. SPOILER REQUEST. NO COMMENT.

3. I refuse to answer this question. I find it insulting.

4. He did not always have the mustache and goatee, but I'm not saying when he got it.

Hi Greg,

Although on your show, Superman is not portrayed as the all-powerful space jesus that most people are used too (and some love!), is he still the most durable to harm when directly compared to the other league members?
Is he, in your opinion, still the one that can take the most hits and keep on going?

I'm asking because it's kinda a main trait of his, being the "Man of Steel" and all! :)

(Judging by the amount of questions you have to get through, you can answer this one with a quick yes or no if you like!!!)

Thanks

Greg responds...

1. Yes, basically.

1a. Yes, basically.

Hi, Greg. Love your show, never miss it.

Was Dick ever kidnapped (both as Robin and as Dick Grayson) at any point before the series began? If yes, would you have an estimate of how many times it occurred?

Nine-hundred and ninety-four times.
