You answered that most of the time Superboy sleeps in a bed, but in Young Justice #0 he was shown to prefer Wally's closet over a bed. Is that going to be explained or was that a goof your end?

Greg responds...

It wasn't a goof. That was his FIRST NIGHT out of a pod. Over time, he starts sleeping in a bed. What other explanation do you need?

And, hey, RUDE MUCH?!

OK Greg so I know its none of my business obviously but I was wondering what sort of legal issues could you be talking about when you said Todd Jensen will approve the questions and just who the heck is Todd anyway I just wanna know

Greg responds...

Todd Jensen is a Gargoyles fan, whom I've known on-line for over a decade now and met in person at the 2001 Gathering. He's a VOLUNTEEER, who has kindly agreed to vet questions for me to make sure no one is posting an original idea that I could get sued over. If you want more information on THAT, how about you actually READ the main Introduction page at Ask Greg, which spells all this out in detail:

You know, instead of cluttering up the queue by asking a question you could have EASILY gotten the answer for faster elsewhere.

1) There's been a wiki debate over what color Artemis' eyes are, would you be so kind as to tell us what her eye color is supposed to be?

2) In earlier promotional clips, Artemis clearly had blue eyes, but in the show her eyes are darker, which makes her look more Asian. When was the decision made to change the color, who made the decision, and why?

Greg responds...

1. According to our Color Stylist, James Peters, her eyes are dark grey, almost black.

2. Promotional artwork NEVER counts. It's not always even done by the series' crew. I, personally, don't ever remember her eyes being blue. But I just looked at a poster on my own wall, and sure enough they're blue. Clearly, an error -- or it was done before we had locked colors on her or something. (Remember, she didn't actually show up until episode 6, and her colors didn't need to be locked until then.) There was no decision to CHANGE her eye color, because the first time any actual decision was made, it was decided that she would have dark eyes.

Hey greg why does Todd Jensen approve a whole bunch of questions if you're just going to say no comment. I guess this question is really meant for both you and Todd, so Todd if you're reading this please approve my post I got to know

Greg responds...

Todd's (VOLUNTEER) job is NOT to edit questions, but to kick out questions that break the rules that protect me legally. I don't think it's fair to Todd to ask him to ALSO make editorial judgments about what questions I will or won't answer.

The "No Comment" responses could almost entirely be avoided if people would post with some degree of common sense. That's on them, not on Todd.

Crap, my internet got interrupted and I accidentally cut my question in half. Sorry. Here's the first half:

Hi Greg,
I'm really enjoying YJ so far

1. You mentioned before that episodes 103-108 would focus on individual team members. By my reckoning:
103 - Miss Martian
104 - Robin
105 - Superboy
106 - Artemis
107 - Kid Flash
108 - Aqualad
I feel like Robin and Artemis got jipped. It could be that they had less character development because they're some of the most secretive members of the team, but I hope they get extra coverage later. By the way, as of 108, episodes 105 and 107 have been my favorites.

Greg responds...

Well, I don't agree that anyone got jipped. Least of all the audience. But I'm getting the sense that my sensibilities are less in line with the audiences' on Young Justice than on any series I've produced prior to this one.

It's not like previous series didn't get complaints, but...

Well, it's less fun, but I guess it comes with the job, and I do like the job, so I can't complain - much.

Todd Jensen writes...

I haven't asked many "Young Justice" questions before now (probably none), largely because I don't have cable and thus wasn't able to see the show. But I wanted to thank you for answering one question in the course of the two-part opener - though I learned it second-hand in the Station 8 comment room.

While I'm not a DC Comics expert, I've heard from various sources about Cadmus Labs - and when I heard of it, I began wondering almost at once if its bearing the same name as the mythical Greek hero who was Europa's brother, slew a dragon and planted its teeth to produce a crop of armed warriors, and founded Thebes, was intentional or coincidence.

Then, during the discussion in the S8 comment room of "Independence Day", in which Cadmus Labs featured, I learned from one of the other posters (who'd seen the episode, as I hadn't) that the characters in that episode of "Young Justice" pointed out in the story that the name of the labs was indeed intentional, comparing its secret experiments with Cadmus sowing the dragon's teeth.

Now I don't know if that line was your idea, or someone else's; I don't even know if it originated with the "Young Justice" production team or if DC Comics had already come up with it. But I'm glad that that question was answered, and want to thank you for that.

Greg responds...

Cadmus goes back to Jack Kirby. I'm sure he was quite aware of the mythological reference, or why else would he chose that name?

Hey Greg!
1) When you said there would be major character deaths, does that include JLA members too?
2) Will there be any other members joining Young Justice?
3) If #2 is correct what will be the first episode to include a new member?
4) In the comics Martian's have super strength. Do M'gann and J'onn have super strength in YJ?
5) Does Aqualad know Black Manta is his father?
6) How old is Wonder Woman?

Greg responds...

1. I don't think I ever said that. I think what I said was that no one was safe and that death was something the characters would have to deal with. But to your question, death could potentially take anyone, and the JL is not immune.

2. "ASKED AND ANSWERED."

3. "SPOILER REQUEST. NO COMMENT."

4. Relative to a normal human, yes. Less than a Kryptonian or an Atlantean or an Amazon, but more than a typical human. Of course, it also depends on what form him or her is in and thus the current level of his or her density.

5. No.

6. "ASKED AND ANSWERED."

Hello Greg. Just wanted to thank you for the interesting depiction of Aquaman's world in Downtime. I've never found it terribly exciting in other shows, but it looked gorgeous and seemed to be more than a generic monarchy culture like I'm used to seeing.

Also, the switch to English was clever. Thanks for the laugh!

Greg responds...

You're welcome.
