Hello Greg!
First of all, I would just like to say that my family and I are really enjoying Young Justice. In particular, I like how the show is introducing old characters to new viewers. Dr. Fate never interested me in the slightest before, but now I am willing to give the character another look, just because of this show. Also, your artists deserve extra praise for the variation in character body types in the show. Kid Flash looks like a runner, and Aqualad is built like Michael Phelps. Keep up the good work!
Now for my questions...
1. We have been shown the world where Aqualad lives in Downtime (my favorite episode). With whom does he live? I know that Kaldur'ahm has a close relationship with Aquaman, but is it close enough for him to live with the king and queen of Atlantis?
2. I really loved your introduction of Dr. Fate and the concept of the Lords of Order and Chaos. It was an interesting change to see Klarion as a Lord of Chaos, it fits well. Is there even the slightest possibility that Amethyst, Princess of Gemworld will appear in this show?
3. Is there any way that fans can obtain the promotional posters of the different characters, or just the pics of the posters from Young Justice? The designs were awesome.
I will be grateful for any information that you can provide, thank you.
Greg responds...
1. He doesn't even live in the same city as Aquaman. As for who he might or might not live with: "SPOILER REQUEST. NO COMMENT."
2. "SPOILER REQUEST. NO COMMENT."
3. I don't know.

Hi Greg, just a question about the beginning of "Downtime" --
Was the fight against Clayface real, or some sort of holodeck-like training simulation? The scene transition made it hard for me to figure out.
Greg responds...
It was real.

1.Wan you talk about the relationship beween Superboy and Miss Martian?
2.Does Kid Flash know Miss Martian has a crush on Superboy?
3.Why does Miss Martian like Superboy?
Greg responds...
1. I don't know what you're asking here?
2. No.
3. Lotsa reasons.
Zach writes...
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.
Terence writes...
Will Wonder Girl ever be introduced in Young Justice
Greg responds...
"ASKED AND ANSWERED." AND "SPOILER REQUEST. NO COMMENT."
Zac writes...
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?
