Hi Greg!!!! I hear rumors that Harley Quinn will be appearing! Will she? Also, can you give just one exclusive. Anything. Even something small. As long as it's new.

Greg responds...

Please, Anon., allow me to scoop my own material by answering these questions. Please! What? You've changed your mind and don't want the answers? But I'm just dying to reveal everything here and now so that the viewing audience is protected from any surprises whatsoever. Besides, if you let me tell you everything now, it'll allow way more second-guessing and pre-judging of ideas, free of all that pesky execution of said ideas. So how 'bout it? Can I spill? Can I spoil? Ahhh, you're no fun.

[Is it still mean the second time? Meaner? Less mean?]

Hi i am a big fan of spider-man and i have a few questions

1)Will the new show for spider-man be starting all over or continue where you left off on the spectacular spider-man?

2)Do you think the new spider man show will better?

3)Are y'all going to use the same characters?

4)Why did the Spectacular spider-man show get canceled?

5)Do you think y'all could have gone far with the spectacular spider-man more than the 1994 series?

6)Last question Do you think there will be ever a chance that they could bring back the Spectacular spider-man if the the new one won't receive good ratings or it crashes like other shows that lasted 13 episodes or less?

Thank you for your time

Greg responds...

1. Ask the new creators. I have no idea, but I can't imagine they'll be picking up where we left off.

2. Not for me to say.

3. I did Spectacular. Ask the new guys about the new show.

4. See the archives.

5. If given the opportunity, we could have kept SpecSpidey going pretty much indefiinitely. But I'm not in competition with any other series.

6. It seems highly unlikely.

Hi Greg. By sheer coincidence I decided to watch a DC Animated Movie about a week before I heard of the Young Justice show, and noticed in the interview/trailer that someone had opted to use the Justice League character designs from those films. I think it's a really great look for the show, but was curious to know why it was chosen over a unique aesthetic or the one from the Batman and Justice League cartoons. Was it mandated for visual branding to help sell related products like the movies? Something else? Given the more mature nature of the film I saw, using the same visual style makes me expect a similar tone in YJ (albeit network-safe). I'm looking forward to seeing what you have up your sleeve.

Also in that interview I noticed Gargoyles pictures on one of the boards. Why was it up on the board next to the superhero designs? Borrowing a visual trait for the designs? Motivation while writing?

Thanks for your time!
- Daniel

Greg responds...

Okay, this is another misreport and/or misinterpretation.

We are NOT using the character designs from "Justice League: Crisis on Two Earths". We ARE using Phil Bourassa, the character DESIGNER from Crisis, so obviously there are going to be some similarities in style and design. But not a single character was taken from that DVD in anything but pitch materials, i.e. what we used to help sell the show. EVERY SINGLE CHARACTER has been redesigned for the actual production of Young Justice. Will there be similarities? Of course. Some characters may be more similar than others, but that's it.

We simply love Phil's work. But there was no mandate. We're not in continuity with any past DC/WB animation project. We are not REUSING anything.

None of this is meant to imply criticism of what came before. Rather, I'm simply trying to clarify what's really going on and stop the spread of certain rumors.

The interview I'm assuming you saw was shot in my office. I have all sorts of pictures up in my office. Cool stuff from Gargoyles, from Spectacular Spider-Man, pictures of my kids, etc. Don't read too much into any of it.

When Demona thought that Macbeth was going to betray her, why didn't she just take her clan and abandon him (or, if she really wanted to make sure he would fall, sabotage Castle Moray's defenses like with what happened to Wyvern)? Why would she work with Canmore, who she hated?

Greg responds...

Did she hate Canmore? Back then?

Hey again Greg,
I've recently started rewatching "The Spectacular Spider-Man", and I thought I'd test the waters with a question you probably would never have answered while the show was on the air. If every character from the show was taken from the comics, then who was Hammerhead's female chauffeur?

Greg responds...

We did have some thoughts on that subject, but I'm not too inclined to go into them...

Hey Greg,

I noticed in the first look video of Young Jusitce that Artemis in her casual clothes, her jacket sleeves were rolled up. Almost exactly as Black Canary wears her jacket, could she be Olivia Queen. The daughter of both Oliver Queen and Black Canary?
Since you did say that she was not an Amazon, nor Arrowette and neither Speedy. But that she was a DC character. You can now laugh evily because I know that fits perfectly with the characters design and obscurity.

Greg responds...

No comment.

Does anyone in your family play Assassin's Creed, Prince of Persia or Uncharted? I only asked because Nolan North had worked in those video games and that you casted him to voice Superboy on Young Justice.

What city is Young Justice going to be set?

Greg responds...

I don't think so.

Nolan was cast because his auditions for both Superman and Superboy were the best. It's not any more complicated then that.

And I'm NOT revealing details about YJ right now.

This one here is a very silly question: I was reading information about Thailog and it says that something about Negative Zone, right? Well, I was playing Super Smash Bros. Brawl and a character Luigi (Mario's brother; Super Mario Bros. Series) has a very strong move known as "Negative Zone" and I am thinking if Luigi stole Thailog's Negative Zone thing...oh wait. That was from Fantastic Four...My bad. Anyway, Luigi has taken the Dark Side move and use it for the good side...maybe.

Greg responds...

Uh. Okay.

Hi Greg,

Will you see the teens origins as well as the villians in the Young Justice show. Like you did with The Spectacular Spiderman? Showing each villian being created and showing each teens development into heroes?

Greg responds...

You'll just have to wait and see...

(And, guys, I'll say this AGAIN: before you post your questions, you might just think about whether or not there's ANY chance I'll answer. I'm just NOT going to spoil my own show before it airs. I'm NOT.)

If you're familiar with my previous work, you may have a general idea of the kind of thing you can expect. But I'm not going to give details or specifics or confirm or deny whether we're doing X or Y or Z or Q.
