alright greg! we know oberon had two halfling sons, but he also had a son and a daughter with titania. who are they?

and...

are they at the gathering?

can they leave like there parents can?

and what magic are they capable of together and/or separate?

please accept this fans should really know.

Greg responds...

I don't accept that I have ANY obligation to reveal my future plans. I only EVER do it on a whim, and the last sentence of your post doesn't exactly inspire whimsy. More like... teeth-grinding.

I saw a little interview on Robin that described him as "prepubescent." Does this mean we'll see him go through it on the show?

Greg responds...

He's not really pre-pubescent (and all that that implies). He just hasn't hit his growth spurt yet.

As for your question, I guess that would depend on how long we're on the air. Our first season takes place over a six month period (more or less). You're not going to see him grow much over a mere six months. Not that that's not possible for a thirteen year old. [My own thirteen year old son is now taller than me.]

greg it's still unclear if "Timeless king" is another word for immortallity. I understand macbeth is immortal but is arthur ageless to?

Greg responds...

Not sure how you're defining "ageless".

I just read that, after issue #6, you and Kevin Hopps will be taking over the writing of the Young Justice comic book series full time. I'm sure you'll do great with the comics, but won't it interfere with your work on future seasons of the cartoon, should you get a pick-up?

Greg responds...

I don't think so. We'll have a big head-start. We're working on issue #7 now at the same time that Art & Franco are working on issue #2.

(UPDATE: The scripts to issues #0 [by Kevin & Greg] & #1 [by Art & Franco] ]are both done. Mike Norton's finished the gorgeous interior art for issue #0 and I assume he's now at work on #1, while coloring and lettering are being done on #0.)

And back when I was doing SpecSpidey, I was able to write the Gargoyles and Red Tornado comics and that one issue of Amazing Spider-Man. I can handle about one comic a month in addition to my television work. And since Kevin's co-writing the book with me, I really only have to write the equivalent of half an issue a month on Young Justice (although it's not quite that straightforward).

Hello, Greg

Ok, two questions in mind:

1. Is Artemis Cissie King? I only ask this because one of the press releases on Toon Zone named her true identity as Cissie King. Also, does Conner take the last name "Smith"?

2. Is the scientist in the Comic-Con video Dr. Mark Desmund? I noticed the "Project: Blockbuster" vials, and Desmund has showed in two of your previous scripts have included him. Not to mention he kinda looks like him.

Greg responds...

1. I've stated MULTIPLE TIMES that Artemis is not Cissie.

1a. Smith? No.

2. It's Mark Desmond, yes.

Hey Greg, I have a question about the ageing of Gargoyles. Do they age slower or at the same rate as humans?

Greg responds...

They age at half the rate of human beings.

In regards to this answer re: Earth-16...

We asked DC for one of their unused 52 Earths, and they assigned us Earth-16 . I wasn't aware at the time that pieces of it had been explored already. So we're ignoring that stuff.

....Wouldn't it have made more sense to check back with DC and change the universe the show is set in to Earth-Something-Else, some number that really hadn't been assigned yet, then to just ignore the previous Earth-16 stuff?

Greg responds...

Yes. Yes, it would. But by the time we found out that ANY previous Earth-16 stuff existed, it was too late to change for various reasons that I won't go into at this time.

Young Justice: Okay so, when Artemis' identity is revealed on the show, will it be some big epic reveal to a long mystery of her identity, or will it be something just there like "Oh hey, ______ what's up?"

Greg responds...

"Oh, hey, Harlequinn, what's up with you not being willing to wait and see for yourself?"

Er, I just realized my Stargate question is irrelevant because you DON'T have it at Warner Bros; I must've misread the archives when I was inspired to write that question.

Whoops. Sorry about that.

Though, I do have a question. Petros Xanatos, besides being one of the few people to truly dominate the Xanatos Tag, also takes what happens to his son with ALARMING calmness. While I don't want to ask why (since that would, quite rightfully, give me a "No comment" response), I do want to ask: in whatever terms you'd be comfortable with, how broad is Petros's knowledge of the supernatural or magical (prior to or without counting "Vows" or "The Gathering")?

Greg responds...

Pretty much zero.

Hello again sir,
Once again I have a few Spec Spidey questions
Now, as you know, in Spectacular Spider-Man, the extra arms that Doc Ock has are detachable. The harness itself is stuck to Octavius, yet the arms can be removed. My question is, what was your reasoning for doing this? From my knowledge this was never done in the comics. Was it so Ock could be feasibly locked up without those tenticles having to be locked up as well?

Now, we all know what people thought of Mr. Lincoln in the show, but what would you say the public's opinion on Hammerhead? Obviously criminals know who he is (much like every crook knows who the Big Man is (which is how the rumor surfaced up multiple times), but what about the public. Is Hammerhead a well known criminal?

Also, when choosing minority races for minor characters what factors made you choose that specific race. For example, you wanted Rhino to be South African (I suppose to go with the whole "Rhino" thing. Ned Leeds and Kenny "Kong" McFarlane had names that could easily be changed to more Asian sounding without changing too much (Leeds to Lee and the nickname Kong as a literal last name.)So what influenced you to pick certain races for certain minor characters? For example did Roderick Kingsley's love for the carribean influence you to making him black? Did Gwen's Debra Whitman look influence you to make Debra Whitman black because of her extreme similarities to Gwen look wise. If Belladonna were to appear would she have been Latina since she already is a Carmen Sandiego homage?

Greg responds...

1. Basically, yes. We figured the authorities wouldn't allow him to have the arms in lock-up.

2. Yes. But he's got no official ties to Lincoln.

3. There weren't any rules, though I think you hit on the name thing influencing me. Same with making DeWolff Native American. The name suggested it a bit. Other times it was just us trying to diversify the cast. So Liz became 1/2 Puerto Rican and Kingsley and Whitman became African-American. Etc.
