Without spoilers

how would you compare Lex Luthor from earth 16 with David Xanatos?

Greg responds...

Lex has less hair.

How old Is Vandal Savage?

Does Ra's or Vandal have any kids?

What made Ra's, Lex, and Vandal go evil?

I know this might be consider a spoiler request but is Vandal Savage a member of the light?

Greg responds...

1. About 50K years.

2. See issue #11-12 of our Young Justice companion comic.

3. Who said they're evil?

4. Yes.

In Earth-16, is Dick Grayson an adopted son of Bruce Wayne, or his ward?

Greg responds...

I'll admit, I'm not too clear on the difference. (Wow, this session is just totally making me feel all ignorant.)

Not trying to nitpick, but you once answered that the speed force does not exist on earth 16. In the DC universe the speed force has been known to bring speedsters through alternate dimensions. the speed force exists on all alternate earths. How is Earth-16 exempt? where does the flash draw his speed from?

Greg responds...

I guess I just don't understand the "Speed-Force" concept.

Where does Superboy "draw his strength from?" Where does Miss Martian "draw her shape-shifting ability from?" Why does Kid Flash or ANY Flash require some external source for speed - as opposed to giving credit to the lab accident that first turned Jay Garrick into the Golden Age Flash, the recreation of that accident under laboratory conditions that granted speed to the current Flash and the nearly-botched attempt to re-recreate the accident that gave Kid Flash his powers?

They're mutates. They were mutated by the experiments/accidents. What more do you need?

In any case, if the Speed-Force does exist, no one on Earth-16 has heard of it or knows anything about it.

I am so glad this opened up!

Okay, so my curious question is: what does Aqualad's diet consist of? In "Downtime" I couldn't quite distinguish what the Altanteans were eating.

Greg responds...

Sashimi and seaweed?

Honestly, I don't know.

1) Are you ever going to show how Dick revealed his identity to Wally?

2) If so, will it be in the animated series, the tie-in comic or both?

Greg responds...

1. Ever is such a very long time.

2. SPOILER REQUEST. NO COMMENT.

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.

Greg responds...

We have height charts for all our characters and those charts are sent overseas to our animators for reference. I won't deny that animation errors take place sometimes, but none that I noticed in 'Targets'.

I can't tell you their actual heights. We don't put that information on the charts. I can only tell you how tall they are relative to each other.

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 responds...

1. She didn't mean she couldn't do it from a capability standpoint. She meant she needed to rescue Superboy.

2. No.

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?

Greg responds...

1. ASKED AND ANSWERED. Please check the archives.

2. I think Wally is blissfully ignorant at this point. Keep watching.

3. It'd be pretty cool, at least in theory.

3b. Sure, sometimes.

4. We have "endgames" for each season, but as usual, I could keep working on this project indefinitely. Of course, it's not up to me.

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?

Greg responds...

1. Personal preference?

2. Nope.

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!
Charlie

Greg responds...

I'm not sure how to help you. The entire song was recorded, even if it wasn't all used. But I don't have a copy of the sheet music.

What prompted you to have the four original sidekicks pair off as Robin+KF and Speedy+Aqualad? In comics canon, KF and Speedy were switched (as far as I know). Did it develop from their personalities, or did you decide who'd pair off first?

Greg responds...

From ages and personalities.

If a video game for Young Justice were to be made, how much would you be involved? Also, would the game have the timestamps from the show and comics in it?

Greg responds...

I'd hope to be very involved. And obviously, we'd like any game to have as much in common with the show as possible.

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.

Greg responds...

1a. Don't remember the exact number off the top of my head. And I don't have my Gargoyles notebooks here at my WB office.

1b. Yes.

2. Close to some.

3. I'll let you use your imagination for this one.

4. Sometimes more than others.

5. Close to some.

6. Mutates? It's a mix. As for Matt, Broadway's probably closest to him. But they all get along.

Hi Mr.Greg,

In Young Justice, I'd like to know if Hawkman and Hawkwoman are the Thanagarian Version (Katar Hol and Shayera Thal).
Thanks

Greg responds...

In a word, yes.

Who are the directors on Season 2 of Young Justice? The directing on Season 1 has been phenomenal (not to mention the writing, acting, etc.) and it would be super sweet to see those guys continue. Though I'm sure any new fresh faces would be just as awesome!

Thanks for all the great work!

Greg responds...

Jay, Michael and our guest directors were all great in Season One, but both Jay and Michael moved on, and the guest director thing made life a bit tough, constantly getting new folks up to speed. So we have a permanent set of three directors for Season Two - Tim Divar, Doug Murphy and Mel Zwyer - and Brandon and I are thrilled with how great all three are doing.

In the 60's, Robin had his catchphrases. Is that what inspired his wordplay in the show?

Maybe in part.
