Greg responds...
Answer what?

dear Greg.
I grew up watching Gargoyles, and as a kid, my view on demona was "evil bad girl" now, that i am older, i realise what happened to her, and i sometimes wonder just how different she could have been if she had someone to help her...i think even now, all she relaly needs is a good hug, (Sorry Gol, she would rather slice your wings off first)
Do you agree with that idea?
Thank you for your time in reading this.
Greg responds...
I think it's more complex than either your first or second interpretation of the character.

Dear Greg,
I have always wondered about what happened to the audio tape which Elisa recorded in Season 1 Episode 12, when Fox confessed to her all of Xanatos's schemes concerning Derek/Talon. Did Derek/Talon ever listen to it, either before or after his mutation? If not, what became of the tape?
Greg responds...
I'll leave your first question to audience interpretation -- and refrain from answering the second question for now.

First off, I just want to say how much I loved the Young Justice pilot. (I haven't been this excited about an animated show since JLU went off the air back in 2006!)
My question, though, is whether you find it frustrating to work on a series based on DC comics, because of their very long and complicated histories. I ask this as a big fan of the comics, and an even bigger fan of Bruce Timm's superb DC Animated Universe. Do you ever feel bogged down by over 70 years of comic history, not to mention countless adaptations? How much difficulty did you and the production team have in pulling out what elements you thought would work for the new series?
On a similar note, have you found it difficult to try to distinguish your work from other adaptations of the comic (most notably Mr. Timm's DCAU)?
Once again, I can't wait for the new series to air in January! Between your work on Gargoyles and the fantastic YJ pilot, you've set some pretty high expectations. :-)
Greg responds...
Well, I DON'T mind at all. Some of the hardcore fans may mind what Brandon and I choose to do with all that history. We always attempt to be very respectful of it, but as you can imagine, over 75 years, continuity can become a bit... messy. And we have to do our best to make our series cohesive, coherent and contemporary, while still feeling classic and iconic. That's what we strive for.
It's easy to find inspiration for all kinds of things (story, character, etc.) in DC's rich history. But we ARE doing an adaptation, not simply a straight transposition of comics into moving pictures form.
Early on, we tried to distinguish our stuff from both the Justice League and Teen Titans animated series. But once we found our tone, I worry less about that. There will be overlaps, I'm sure, but now our characters are telling us where to take the series. So I feel safe that we've got our stuff.

YOUNG JUSTICE Episode #2 ("Fireworks") Credits
Well, this was a new twist. So called "gang credits" appeared on the last episode, mashing together credits from multiple episodes. That annoys me just as much as the non-legible variety.
So once again, I'm posting the credits here...

Not a question, but I left out a word in my conclusion. Its meant to say this: "Thanks and I hope you'll work with those two guys again".
Greg responds...
Uh... which two guys were we talking about?
kon-el writes...
1.Where does Superboy live?
2.Are we going to see Cadmus again?
3.If we see Zatanna in Young Justice will she be a teenager?
Greg responds...
1. In the Cave.
2. You'll have to wait and see.
3. You'll have to wait and see.

Heya Greg! This isn't really a question. Rather a resounding "THANK YOU" for pretty much all of the work you've done over the years. Right now a few of my fandoms that are still on-going have come out with new installments that have, well, been disappointing me. I'm not going to name names because I don't want to put you in the position of having to bash a fellow professional's work and there's no guarantee you're familiar with the specific ones I'm speaking of anyway.
But to me it feels like the writer(s) have been failing, not because they're not talented, but rather because a) When they began their projects they failed to think far-forwardly to where they wanted their stories to go once the initial conflicts they set up have run their course. And B) Instead of letting plot-lines flow from characters that are complex and change over time, they fall back on comfortable clichés, simple black-and-white conflicts, and cookie-cutter romance. To put it simply, when given the opportunity they take the 'easy' dramatic choices.
Seeing this happen over and over has made me much more appreciative of the insane amount of world-building and planning that you must put into the things you undertake, and your skill as a storyteller to dig into the well of timeless archetypes and situations and do things that are new and exciting with them.
For me it's a relief to know that when Young Justice premieres as a series (I did see the pilot movie and loved it) I'll have something where I can sit down and be entertained, and trust that the people behind it are doing everything they can to ensure that it's the best it can possibly be. And even if at the end it hasn't matched my vision for what it could have been, I know it will definitely be just as good, and most likely a whole lot better. So, in conclusion: Thanks for being awesome! Please keep it up. :)
Greg responds...
Thanks for the kind words. One strives for awesomeness... and settles for "Hey, we did our best."

Hi Greg, first of all congratulations for all the team behind young justice. I read a lot of reviews and the premier was a huge success , everyone woking in the show really deserve the prise they are reciving. I have a couple of questions , hope you have the time to answer them:
1) Why does Superman react the way he did when he met Conner?. He left him in care of the other members of the league , Shouldn't he be more responsiable of his son?
2) Are all the members of the Light famous DC villans?. If the Oranization created Superboy to take Supermans place in case he perish , wouldnt that help the league?
3) Is there any chance you could cast Keith David as Black Manta? I think he would be perfect for the role
thank again for your time Greg, and i really looking foward to the whole season
Greg responds...
1. I'm going to leave the answer to this to the interpretation of the audience. I have definite opinions on the subject, but more will be revealed in the fullness of time.
2. In case he perish or turn from the Light. Interpret that as chillingly as you like.
3. No comment.

1.How powerful is Oberon in the Gargoyles universe? I assume he cannot destroy the Planet, but does he have power limits, can he divert a large Meteor or Asteroid, or cause Earth to move away from it's position in Space?
2.If not/if he can how much stress would this put on him?
3.What is the most strenuous thing he's done outside of the series episodes/ever?
2.Additionally how would he and other characters like Thailog or Xanatos react to an extraterrestrial invasion in the present day, by the alien antagonists from "2198" in the present day, or a different species?
Greg responds...
1. He definitely has limits.
2. I'm not going to get into hypotheticals. They don't interest me.
3. Uh, his wedding?
2 again. Strangely, see the answer to the ABOVE #2.
