Was Jeffrey Robbins's "Gilgamesh the King" a refined novel version of the epic poem or something else entirely?

Hey!
First of all, I LOVE YOUNG JUSTICE! I think that it is really great, and I'm so glad that new episodes are coming :)
I just have a few questions:

1) Is Hawkwoman supposed to be Hawkgirl? If so, why do you call her "Hawkwoman"?

2) If Wonder Girl were on come onto the show, would you use Donna Troy or Cassie?

3) I know on YouTube there are a lot of fanmade videos of Young Justice. Have you seen any? If you have, do you like them?

Thank you for your time and keep up the good work :)\

If I were to write a story about gargoyles who turn to stone at night, with NONE of your characters, NONE of your storyplots, NONE of your fictional locations, NONE of the traditions/culture/heritage of your gargoyles, NONE of the special characteristics that make up your would, would it plagiarism if the only thing connecting my story and yours was the fact that there are some sort of gargoyles who turn to stone at night?

Hello!

I love Young Justice very much, it is a wonderful show. I also liked Spectacular Spider-man, and I was sad when it got cancelled. My first question is: which show do or did you like working on the most: Gargoyles, Spectacular Spider-man, or Young Justice?

I like M'gann's "catchphrase", "Hello Megan!" and I don't understand why I see so many people write to you and tell you they hate it. I think it's cute. My second question is: What was the inspiration behind her catchphrase?

I loved the "Bereft" episode very much, and I noticed the Biyalyan language sounded very familiar to Arabic (I speak that language). My third question: Is it some other dialect of Arabic, since there are quite a few, or Eygptian or Jordanian?

My final question is another language one: What is Miss Martian's language? I know that Aqualad's is Ancient Greek, but I have checked many questions and can't find what Miss Martians's language is.

I am sorry if any of these questions have been answered before. Thank you for taking your time to do "Ask Greg"

Hi, I find Young Justice a wonderful TV Series with such great characters and chemistry. I'm eagerly awaiting more new epsiodes. I just had a couple questions.

1. With Seaso 2 only having 20 episodes, has a season 3 been discussed at all?

2. Do you have an age for Paula Crock? Is so, how old is she?

3. How old is Sportsmaster?

4. Did you know iTunes still has the incorrect version of Drop Zone? Is there any chance this'll be fixed?

5. Are either Guy Gardner or Kyle Raynar Green Lanterns on Earth 16?

6. Do you have a list of the designations for the sixteen Justice League memebers that you could reveal? Like how Batman 02, and Red Tornado is 16. Can you reveal that?

Thanks.

Hi Greg, just watched Targets and congratulations on taking part in the making of a great show!

1. What do the other students at the school think about Megan and Connor? Do they think they're strange?

2. What is the school called?

3. Will you be showing more scenes within the school?

4. How did Aqualad get to Rhelasia so quickly?

5. How did Superboy know so much about Rhelasia?

6. How does the "stealth tech" work?

Thanks in advance!

In "Leader of the Pack", there was that ship, Otoshiana-maru, and "otoshiana" means "pitfall" or "trap" in Japanese. While watching Targets, I got a kick when Superboy was giving the history of Rhelasia and he talks about the Bokun Dynasty starting in 1855. I realized, "bokun" means "split" or "cleave" in Korean, the ultimate fate of Rhelasia. Do I get a no-prize? I love how you use serendipitous names.

I have a couple questions about the team's families. I'm trying to stick to background-y things, but I apologize if they get too spoilery.

1) How would Wally address the Garricks? Jay and Joan, Uncle Jay and Aunt Joan, Mr. Garrick and Mrs. Garrick, Moose and Squirrel...?

2) In the tie-in comic, Dick's narration is that his uncle can't take care of him, and that's why Bruce took him in. Can you elaborate on the specific nature of his uncle's injuries? Is he comatose, mostly paralyzed, something else?

3) The same issue reveals Dick's cousin was named John. In most continuities I'm familiar with, "John Grayson" is the name of Dick's father, and Dick's own middle name is John. Was this cousin named after Dick's father, or does Dick's father have a different name on Earth-16? Can you tell us the names of Dick's parents, aunt, and uncle?

4) How old is Alfred, and did he raise Bruce in Earth-16 continuity?

5) In the tie-in comic, Artemis's parents seemed to have had a once-affectionate, now-distant relationship. Her mother tells her father that he's 'out' if he doesn't change his lifestyle--is she planning to file for divorce, or are they just separating?

6) And... not really a family member to anyone but being their teacher totally counts here: does the Earth-16 Black Canary wear a wig, dye her hair, or is she just a natural blonde?

Thank you for your time, both working on the show and answering inane questions!

Does Lois Lane exist on Earth 16?

Will we see her on a Young Justice episode?

Greg Bishansky writes...

I realize you're still not keen on revealing future plot points for what would have been season three and beyond of "Spectacular Spider-Man." But this question is about the first two seasons, although if the answer ever came, it would have been later. Which I guess places this in a murky gray area. Anyway, because I've been dying to know...

During the two seasons of the show, did Mary Jane Watson know Peter Parker is Spider-Man? In the comics, she knew since the night Uncle Ben died, so I ask if this was the case in "Spectacular Spider-Man" as well. A lot of her behavior towards Peter seems to point towards this.

I saw you answer a question about whether M'gann cooks meals for Superboy, to which you said, "Sometimes." But does Superboy ever try to cook anything for M'gann?

I just wanted to say that Young Justice is by far the most amazing show ever created. So far everything about it has been absolutely perfect! Thanks you guys for making an epic show! And now to the questions:
1) What is your favorite part of making this show?
2) Does it ever bother you to be compared to Teen Titans?

I don't recall seeing this question in the archives, so I apologize if this has been asked before and I just didn't notice it. I'm sure that Kid Flash's outfit changed after the first three episodes (I believe that it changed with the fourth episode and the camouflage mode). Was his outfit changed after the pilot was made? Thank you for your time!

[Spoilers for Targets but... I hope everyone was tuning in after all this time!]

First, I want to take this moment to say that "Targets" is my favorite episode so far, and how Roy is written (and performed, Crispin Freeman is one of my favorite voice actors) is a big part of that. I love how determined he is to tough it out on his own, yet that he still has enough sense to know that Kaldur can contribute some very impressive skills if he ever has need of them. I think "Targets" is a wonderful showcase of the fact that while Roy is doing a pretty good on his own, he's still connected to the League and the team, and there's a subtle yet powerful display of his respect for Ollie and the League at the end, where he and Kaldur discuss the idea of a mole, yet Roy never mentions the fact that their Johnny-come-lately archer chick is kind of hiding her background.

I'm also really intrigued by the fact that the League of Shadows were involved both times Roy kicked off an episode's plot. So in summary, Roy is fantastic and the way you and the YJ production crew have presented him is also fantastic.

As for questions--

I thought the friendship between Kaldur and Roy was a nice touch, and a nice counterpoint to Dick and Wally's BFFness. They're not as close as Dick and Wally, but they like each other, get along, and complement each other well. It seems that Kaldur is much more successful at bailing Roy out of trouble than he is at preventing Dick and Wally from getting into it in the first place.

What I want to ask is, when the series was being developed, what was the reasoning behind writing them this way? Was it the natural consequence of Dick and Wally's friendship, that the two older sidekicks would be closer to each other as a result, or did everyone just like the way Kaldur's calm played against Roy's... somewhat significantly less calm? Or something else entirely?

It's a very interesting friendship, and I am hopeful of seeing more of it as the series progresses. Thank you to both you and the rest of the team behind Young Justice, because the time everyone's put into the show, from the writing to the plotting to the casting to the performing to the design work to the animation, is absolutely top-notch.

Mr. Weisman, what does Batman like to read in his limited free time? Oracle asked him in the Batman's Artifacts episode, but he didn't really answer.

Gothic-Cowboy writes...

Hello, Mr. Weisman. Thank you for opening the ask a question function. I'll try not to waste your time.
1. In Young Justice #2, when Superman, Green Lantern (Hal Jordan), Wonder Woman, Hawkwoman, Aquaman, and Green Arrow show up, the Joker says "The gangs all here." This seems to imply that, along with the already present Batman, Flash, Hawkman, and Martian Manhunter, these ten characters constituted the League's membership. Since designators 01-07 were taken by the founders and Green Arrow is 08, by process of elimination the Hawkfolk must be 09 and 10. If I'm right, would you please clarify which of them is 09 and which is 10?
2. Also, concerning Young Justice #1 & #2:
a)Were these events set before or after the League "went public."
b)Was Batman the leader yet?
3. In Young Justice #6, Robin's revised origin featured six members of the Flying Graysons, instead of the three I'm used to seeing (four, counting his older brother in Batman Forever, when he's tragically orphaned at the age of thirty). What considerations went into the decision to increase the scope of Dick's tragedy?
4. In Young Justice #7, we see that Artemis put together her own superhero costume. I had previously assumed that it was something new she'd put together after becoming Green Arrow's "niece." Why did her constume suggest the Green Arrow so strongly, since it was before she'd been added to the Team?
5. In Bereft, Batman mentions the League's Charter. Clearly, this Charter, in some way, represents a delegation of power to the League to combat certain threats, but just what does it entail?
a)Does the League operate under the authority of an outside body, or is it autonomous?
b)Where does the League's operating capital come from? I mean, Bruce and Ollie are rich, but they can't pay for everything. Do they receive outside funding, patents on velcro, or t-shirt and toy sales?
c)Does the League's charter include by-laws governing how the League conducts business? Things like electing a leader, inducting new members and other organizational protocol?
6. How far in the League's confidence is Catherine Cobert? Does she know about the Watchtower, for instance?
7. Among the League's founders, on what basis were their numerical designators assigned?
8. Are Hawkwoman and Hawkman married on Earth-16?
9. From a logistics standpoint, who maintains the Hall of Justice and, more importantly, the secret Watchtower?
10. Is Sportsmaster a part of the League of Shadows? He didn't bow to Ra's al Ghul like Cheshire did.

Thank you for your time.
