Do you have an estimate as to when Mecha-Nation issue 2 will come out?

Greg responds...

It's done, but there was a decision not to release issue 2 until issue 3 was done and we could be 100% confident that there would be no more delays between issues.

First of all, thank you for making such an entertaining show in the form of Young Justice. I, for one, can’t wait for the new episodes.

I’d also like to thank you for your interpretation of Batman and Robin (they’re very Golden Age but modernized). I like that Dick is a cheerful little dude with an attitude, and that Batman isn’t a jerk to him (a much committed sin of comic writers ever since the Nineties so this really feels like a breath of fresh air).

So here’s my question (I checked the FAQ and Ask Greg with search so I hope I haven’t missed anything): In the DCU Dick Grayson has Romani heritage (his father is Romani). I understand that this is a later expansion on Dick’s circus past and only showed up in full force in later issues of the Nightwing comic, but I was wondering whether YJ!Dick also has Romani heritage. I’ve always been fond of the idea of a iconic character like Robin being partly Romani.

I hope this isn’t a spoiler request! I wouldn’t have asked this but you seemed to have no problem with revealing the information that Artemis Crock is half Vietnamese, so I gave it a try.

Also, I wonder how old Oliver Queen is in Young Justice. Usually he's one of the older Justice League members so I was curious about your interpretation.

Thanks so much and keep up the good work!

Greg responds...

NO COMMENT on Dick's backstory for now.

Oliver Queen is 32.

Are there plans for Young Justice to be released on Blu-ray? Is this even a possibility or just wishful thinking on my part?

Greg responds...

I have no idea. I don't even really know what Blue-Ray is? Is he DC or Marvel?

Hey!First off i wanna say that Young Justice is amazing and your all doing a great job.But i have some questions:
1.Is Artemis ambidextrous?It was shown that she can use her bow with her left and right hand.If yes,is she naturally ambidextrous or is there a reason?
2.Is there a reason that Artemis was chosen to be Vietnamese?If there is a reason and it is not a spoiler request,what is the reason?
3.When "worlds finest" asked you why the fans should buy Young Justice #7 you said that Artemis's secrets will be revealed in YJ #7 "AND ONLY IN YOUNG JUSTICE #7!!" so won't they be revealed on the show?
4. How long was Speedy working with Green Arrow before he quit?

Greg responds...

1. Uh, sure. Probably trained to be able to use either hand.

2. Her mother is Vietnamese. She and her sister are half-Vietnamese.

3. Everything you NEED to know to enjoy the television series is in the television series. Everything you NEED to know to enjoy the comic book series is in the comic book series. But there's no doubt you'll enjoy BOTH more if you follow both.

4. Three years.

Now I'd like to make a few compliments:

1) Concerning YJ: Thank you for not making one of those superhero shows in which the heroes always find the time to slip into their uniforms amidst an attack. So, thanks for the episodes where the Team is in civvies during all the episode.

2) Concerning The Spectacular Spider-Man: Thank you for not making one of those superheroes shows in which the villains pop up out of nowhere and their origin story is explained via a 20 seconds flashback. So, thanks for working their origin into the organic flow of the plot.

3) Concerning The Spectacular Spider-Man, YJ and Gargoyles: Thank you for not making one of those superheroes shows with cheesy dialog and dumbed down lexicon typical of "kiddies cartoons". So, thanks for making animated shows that audiences out of the key demographics can enjoy.

4) Concerning The Spectacular Spider-Man, YJ and Gargoyles: Thank you for making shows with complex and tightly woven plots, instead of a pile of stand alone episodes, making stuff up as you go along. So, thanks for putting an effort into writing plots with a beginning, a middle and an ending... and sometimes another ending (I'm still awed with what you did with the Green Goblin arc).

Thank you very much.

Greg responds...

1. You're welcome!

2. You're very welcome!!

3. You're extremely welcome!!!

4. You are very extremely welcome!!!!

I interrupt this line of questioning and spoiler requesting for a moment of unabashed fangirling:

I just want to take a moment to say how much I appreciate the way you and your team handle storytelling on Young Justice (really all of your shows, but especially this one). It's obvious to me that to endeavor to tell interesting stories that are also true to reality (as well as any superhero show could, anyway). I just saw episode 10 for the second time (I saw it weeks ago when CN posted it to their site by mistake), and I was struck by how the two story lines of the peace conference in Taipei and Megan and Connor going to school worked out logistically. I'm living in Taiwan right now and I used to live in New York, so I know that time-wise Taiwan and EST time zones are 12 hours apart, so both stories are happening at the same time on different parts of the globe, making that news report Connor and Megan saw in class (loved you as the teacher, I grinned when I recognized your voice--was it your idea, or were you volunteered for the part?) sync up perfectly.

I get so tired of watching films or television shows and reading novels or stories where minimal to zero effort went into fact checking those tiny details when they're really just a question of effort and planning. There are probably more important things to a story, but craftsmanship is in the details and I'm glad that I'm getting that from you on this awesome show.

Some things I liked from the episode:
Mercy's arm - I actually shouted out 'HOLY CRAP MERCY'S ARM WHAT' and my roommate went 'They made her a cyborg! That's so HOT'
Lex Luthor - I always liked that aside from his consuming grudge against Superman, Luthor is sophisticated and immoral but also interesting in his own right. I'm glad that's the version we seem to be getting so far. He's no David Xanatos but I hope he shows up a lot more.
Megan's disguise - her freckles disappeared after she got drenched in water! She was probably just shaken and it slipped her mind. (It couldn't have been an animation mistake--those never happen! :P) She should be more careful, someone might notice.

Also, what icon was that on Marvin's shirt? I didn't recognize what superhero it was from.

Greg responds...

Because of our timestamps, I'm FORCED to do WAY more math than I'm comfortable with. But I agree that those details are important, so I do it.

As for Marvin, that "M" is for Marvin. It's his own icon, loosely based on Superman's.

I like your use of foreign languages in the show and I am curious what the characters are saying since no subtitles are given.

1. What was Megan saying in Martian in Bereft?
2. What were the Bialyan soldiers saying in Arabic in Bereft? (You mentioned it was Arabic in the questions before)
3. What was Aqualad saying in the Atlantean language when he was dehydrated in Bereft?
4. What were the Rhelasian diplomats saying in Targets and what language was it?

Greg responds...

QUESTION 1.

Line #1. MISS MARTIAN (VO)
Katchhhhaa, s’nomoth… K’azzar M’gann? N’da M’arzz…
[Ohh, my head… Where am I? This can’t be Mars…]

Line #2. MISS MARTIAN (VO CONT)
Ah’lunzz… s’sess b’rakahzz… <deep breath> Hw’asheta!
[One moon… white sand… Oxygen!]
(then out loud in English)
Hello, Megan! I’m on Earth!

QUESTION 2.

PATROL LEADER #1 shouts in ARABIC:
25. PATROL LEADER #1
Mat khalee-homshee yih-raboo!
[Don’t let them escape!]

79. PATROL LEADER #2
Sahibit il galala tureadahoo hayan!
[Her Majesty wants him alive!]

82. PATROL LEADER #2
Kifaya! Idrab nar!
[Enough!! Open fire!]

QUESTION 3.

141. AQUALAD
Tula, LIHS-soh-meh… ah-gah-PAH-oh seh…
[Tula, please… I love you…]

174. AQUALAD
<moan> Tula… dih-NA-meh-tha EH-tih ehn Atlantis sim-bih-OH-se…
[Tula… we can still be together in Atlantis…]

QUESTION 4. The language that Tseng and Li were speaking was Rhelasian, which is VERY similar to Korean. The language that Police Captain Xiaping was speaking was Chinese (but I forget which kind):

18. XIAPING
Pa shya! Me gar en pa shya! [Down! Everybody down!] /

21. XIAPING (OS)
Bu yao doung! Don’t move!

36. TSENG, SINGH MANH LI (OVERLAPPING)
<efforts> Jun jah shik, nae gah son, po joo get suh!
[Let me at him!]

162. XIAPING
Zhua tzuh sa so!
[Stop the assassins!]
NOTE: This last was an animation error that we just didn't have time to correct. It was supposed to be Xiaping, so the words were in Chinese. But it was animated as Tseng.

Megan writes...

I appreciate Young Justice for all of it's detail and consider it a classic in the making. I just have a few questions.

1. How old is Cheshire?

2. How old is Paula Crock?

3. How old is Sportsmaster?

4. How far along pregnant (in months) was Mera in Episode 8?

5. (Joke) Does Megan watch classic TV because reception from Earth to Mars takes a long time?

6. Is Billy Batson 10 years old in this version? How long has Captain Marvel been part of the Justice League? Does the League know his real age?

7. Kaldur quit the Conservatory of Sorcery to become Aqualad but does that mean he's not getting any type of schooling? Or are they done with required Schooling at age 14 when the join the military?

8. Does Black Canary wear a wig in this version or dye her hair blond?

9. Artemis is a Sophomore like Wally, correct?

10. Robin is in 8th or 9th grade?

11. Red Arrow graduated from High School or is he a Senior? If he graduated is he going to Collage at all? Taking a year off? Have a job? Getting financial help from Green Arrow?

12. Miss Martian and Superboy are both Juniors correct?

13. Is 'Wolf' an original character or is he based on an established DC character? (I'll understand if this is Spoilers)

Thank you very much for your time. Keep up the great work! I'm glad yours and Brandon's show is finally back on air!

Greg responds...

1. Nineteen.

2. Forty-eight. (She was born the same year as M'gann!)

3. Fifty-five.

4. Not very. Her due date is February.

5. She's been watching for decades.

6a. Yes.

6b. Two years.

6c. NO COMMENT.

7. The latter.

8. NO COMMENT. Not because it's a spoiler, but because I think it would be very ungentlemanly for me to respond.

9. Yes.

10. 9th.

11. Graduated a month before our series premiered. He's taking a year off to focus on his super-heroic career. He doesn't need financial help from G.A. In fact, he has more money than G.A.

12. Correct.

13. Both.
