Hey Greg.
Up until this point, from what I can gather, you have stated the numbers of years of experience for the following heroes; Batman (9), Superman (10), Robin (4), Kid Flash (2), Aqualad (2), and Speedy/Red Arrow (3).
I was wondering if you could also reveal that information for the remaining 14 of the 16 members of the Justice League as well as Guardian?

Quick Spec Spidey question- is Silver Sable an albino? I was just wondering because in addition to her white hair, her skin's notably paler than anybody else's (except for Tombstone, who of course *is* albino) and her eyes are an odd pale violet. Not a huge question, I know, but I was just curious.

Something that I've always wondered about "Double Jeopardy"- when Xanatos and Owen are discussing who could have "abducted" Thailog, Xanatos explicitly lists a small number of enemies- and he uses that exact word- who could have pulled it off. Specifically, the three he names are Demona, Renard, and Macbeth. Now the first two are easy enough to understand- Demona is the enemy of all humanity and has a history with Xanatos personally, while Renard is his main business competitor- but so far as we've seen Xanatos and Macbeth have only met in person twice (once in "Enter Macbeth", when Mac was actually working for Xanatos, albeit for his own reasons, and once in "City of Stone" when Mac pretty much ignored Xanatos and focused all his efforts on Demona). So my question is- why does Xanatos consider Macbeth an enemy? Have they had an offscreen run-in that we never saw, presumably because it didn't concern the gargoyles, that would lead to this attitude, or is it just a case of Xanatos naturally being wary of someone with the resources and skills to pose a legitimate challenge to him? Or is there some other reason?

Hi.

What YJ fansites/forums do you usually/regularly visit? I'm asking because you sometimes address fan theories and rumors, so I wonder where you read them.

FYI: The timestamps of "Drop-Zone" are fixed in the Volume One DVD release. Not sure about the reruns.

Question: Is the title supposed to be hyphenated? Because it is on-screen, but not on promotional material for the episode or on the back of the Volume One DVD.

Looking at the reprsentations of griffins in art, sculpture and works of fiction, I noticed that most have erect pointed ears. Obviously, the character of Griff does not have these external ears. Since you have in the past noted that you and/or the production team thought that Griff's design turned out to be a bit Foghorn Leghornish, was the idea to include the distinctive griffin ears ever considered to make Griff stand out a bit more? Was there some reason the ears were not included on the finished model? Finally, do you suppose that some gargoyles of the London Clan are griffin-like and do have these ears?

Thanks, Greg!

Hi Greg,

I noticed in your memo for City of Stone that you placed Demona's clan living in caves at Lunfanan Hill in 1020 and 1040. Is that where that cell lived? http://www.s8.org/gargoyles/askgreg/search.php?rid=134

Greg responds...

Canon-in-training.

Response recorded on August 26, 2011

I was wondering how long before 1020 that Demona's Clan, or at least the cell of it that consisted of "Second", "Kermit" and the other gargoyles who had hatched at Wyvern had been living at Lunfanan Hill. When Brooklyn seeks them out in 997, were the Lunfanan Caves the ones they lived in at that time?

Also, did Demona have a name for this cell (like calling the massacred gargoyles the Shruiglea Cell)? I think on GargWiki we are either calling it the Wyvern Cell or the Lunfanan Cell (which prompted me to ask my first question).

Just trying to get some facts straight for the Wiki. Thanks!

Rewatched The Spectacular Spider-Man Season 2 this year, and I have to say that Growing Pains after several more viewings has really grown on me, especially having read many "Spider-Man has been framed" stories.

Now of course whenever said frame up occurs, Peter tends to recall them. But New Yorkers (whether they are civilains or fellow heroes) barely seem to recall that someone like the Chameleon or Mysterio posed as Spider-Man before.

Growing Pains on the other hand takes the more plausible route of having someone question whether Spidey's gone bad. Captain Stacy's comment towards Jonah sums it up: "This isn't the first time that the Bugle got it wrong when a copycat dressed up as the webslinger. Now do you really want to embarrass yourself and your paper! Again?"

Hi, Mr. Weisman!!

Doctor Fate writes...

After watching Denial, I had a question.

1. Kent Nelson states that he hadn't put on the helmet for 65 years, which would mean since 1946. During that time period, 1940-1951, you've stated that the Justice Society operated. From 1941-1945 the JSA expanded to become the All-Star Squadron. So does that mean once the All-Star Squadron returned back to the Justice Society, Kent Nelson retired from being Doctor Fate? Or did he stay on a little while after?

2. At what age did Kent become Doctor Fate?

Thanks.

The Light writes...

Just a couple quick questions-

1. Was Alan Scott a member of the Justice Society?

2. Was Rose Psychic a member of the JSA?

3. Was Docotr Occult a member of the JSA?

4. And was the Crimson Avenger a member of the JSA?

5. What happened to the Crimson Avenger?

Thanks.

Hey Greg, I'm so glad we're finally getting more Young Justice episodes. I only have one tiny bit of constructive criticism that dovetails into a question. Conner Kent is one of my favorite comic characters, and I love how you've been slowly developing him as he tries to find his purpose. However, he kind of comes of sort of angsty and the teams muscle. In the comics, I'll fully admit Conner became kind of angsty after it was revealed half his DNA came from Luthor, but it has yet to be seen if that is the case on the show. In his early comic appearances, Conner was more fun loving and loved being a hero. I guess I'm trying to say that while I understand Conner's sort of on an emotional journey, it's rather unsettling to see him with such a bleak outlook. Can we expect Superboy to become more mirthful and lose his depressing attitude?

lambert writes...

as of this writing, the last episodes i've seen were "downtime" and "bereft". these were, in my opinion, the best episodes of the series yet. and i think for it was because there appeared to be less of an emphasis on the characters being teenagers. they were just young superheroes learning to work by themselves or with a much larger group of people. i'll be 34 next month, and i suppose i just don't care about seeing a teenager's POV on anything. i think this is why i gravitate more towards red arrow and aqualad as they seem to be the most mature of the bunch. anyway, keep up the good work. i'm loving the show more and more. and the comic as well. will there be a point where the timelines from both the show and comic catch up?

Hi Greg.
My question is about the Gargoyles tv show. I've been a fan of Gargoyles since the late 90's and recently re-found it. As I watched the last cannon episode I could not help but wish that there was more to watch. Has there recently been any talk among those at Disney of bringing the show back? If not is there anything that we long time fans can do to so that they will consider it?
Thank you for all of the questions you answer, and for all the work you have done over the years for all the show you have been part of.

1. Will there ever be an episode or comic focused primarily on the girls of The Team? 2. Did Nolan's schedule with voicing Penguin for Arkham City interrupt with your Young Justice schedule? 3. You mentioned before that you would like a musical for Gargoyles and would like one for Young Justice. So can you include the Music Meister? It would make sense or is he too cartoony.

Dear Mr. Weisman,

I've been a huge fan of yours for years and just wanted to thank you for supplying or helping to make 1/3 of the cartoons of my childhood. I'm currently following Young Justice and I love it! I do have one question that I couldn't find in the archives though.

I noticed in episode 10 what seemed to be some height inconsistencies with Red Arrow. Cheshire was said to be 5ft 6in tall. But when the two of them were having their stare down in prison, Roy only looked a bit taller than her. Meanwhile, he seemed to be a bit shorter than Lex Luthor as well. In my animation classes, my professor mentioned a tendency for teenage characters to be drawn slightly shorter than adults, to make them easier to distinguish. Is that what happened here, or was it just animation error/camera trick?

I know in a previous post you said that he was the tallest of the teens, with Aqualad in second, but I was hoping that you could tell me their actual heights (and the rest of The Team's), or at least your best guess.

Thank you for your time and good luck with the rest of the season.

charles writes...

First let me say, I really enjoy the series!! I think the animation and the storytelling is outstanding!! I'd also like to say, i love all the members of the team!! I hope you don't change the members of the team, love them!! My questions are about Miss martian powers. What are the limit of her telekinesis? I was surprised in Bereft when she said, she can't use her telekinesis to lift Aqualad back to the ship.
I'm still wondering what happened between miss martian and superboy in downtime?? i mean,after she covered him in food and they were standing there staring at each other! His behavior has completely changed toward her. Did she use her telepathy abiilites to mind link with him to let him know how she feels about him???
I do like how you are developing their romance!! I think it would be very interesting to see how they deal with being heroes and also dealing with their feelings for each other. I hope they get together, they make a nice couple! I wasn't asking for a spoiler, just making a comment on their relationship.

Greg writes...

First I'd like to say you guys have put together a pretty awesome show. That keeps me coming back for each new episode.
Now the questions
1, What made the characters featured in this show(The Team)stand out to you; what made you decide to choose them?
2, How does everyone else in the Team perceive the growing feelings between Superboy and M'gann, most especially Wally because he continues his attempts (which I find hilarious)at flirting with M'gann?
3, How would you feel if one of your shows were to be made into live-action films? Have/Do you ever consider what real-life actors might portray your characters?
4, Do you already know how you want Young Justice to end, or is there no definite endgame planned? Do you normally have an endgame in mind for the shows you work on or do you like to let the story progress to see where it goes?

Zachary Bishop writes...

I have a couple questions about Mr. Roy Harper.

1. Why does Roy usually use an old-fashion bow when he owns and is capable of using a compound? As I understand compound bows are easier to use and are better for accuracy.

2. Are you aware of the similarity between his and Ultimate Hawkeye's design?

Hey Greg
I heard that you wrote the lyrics for the will to love and even though the full song was never released, the lyrics for the full version were released. recently i have been learning the song by ear and have been making a tab for it. the one problem is that even though i can learn almost all of the song from 'S is for Self' the bridge is quite a problem for me. i would be quite happy to create my own chords and melody for it but i would much rather write it with the correct chords and melody. i was wondering if you would know any of the chords from the bridge or know anybody who might know them? just the chords will do because i will be able to create my own melody ontop. Please don't just look over this question as this project means quite alot to me as it is my first one.
Thanks!

Hey Greg
I am a big fan of the Gargoyle cartoon (haven´t read the comics though, just read about some of the things that happens in them online, but I really don´t know much about them, beside the whole time-dancer plot)and I admirer your imagination for creating them.
I got some question about the trio
1. How many gargoyles were hatched in their rookery, and did some leave the clan before the masqare?
2.How close were they to their other rookery siblings?
3.How bad was the masqare effect them and how much do they miss the ones who are dead
4. How much do they miss Scotland and the 10. century (I know it´s clear that they´ve adjusted well to Manhattan and the 20. century, but still)
5. How close were they to anyone outside of their own rookery
6.How close are they to the mutants and Matt Bluestone.
