In reference to Gargoyles.
I know people have asked this question but its been a while and I didn't know if you had heard anything about whether they were going to release season 2 volume 2 or season 3 onto DVD yet. I have the first season and season 2 volume 1 but I would love to have them all.

Greg responds...

Me too.

But I've heard nothing definitive one way or the other recently.

Hey greg a couple months ago you answered a question asking about avatar the last air bender and I think you said you were near the end of book 1. So I was just wondering have you had the time to finish watching the series? And if you have finished what did you think of it?

Greg responds...

ASKED AND ANSWERED.

Why did you choose to have two Green Lanterns? Why Hal and John? I was under the impression that Guy was the second Lantern. (If it's for plot, just say, "plot reasons")

Greg responds...

SPOILER REQUEST. NO COMMENT.

in "homefront" (awesome episode btw), why did Artemis choose her arrow out of the different memorabilia instead of the helmet of Fate? it just seems rather short-sighted to me to hang the fate of the entire team on a single shot with an arrow instead of an all powerful magical artifact. funny though, now she's saved the team with that arrow twice.

Greg responds...

ASKED AND ANSWERED.

Do gargoyles age at the same rate as humans?

Greg responds...

Nope. Check the Gargoyle Biology archive at ASK GREG.

I really appreciate you answering fan questions, as there are really very few genius story writers who take the initiative connect with the fans. I have seen 'Terrors' and I want to know the ages of the terror twins and icicle jr. as I can't understand why he icicle jr. was taken to an adult prison when it already mentioned by batman that he was only 17 years old.And by the way awesome episode.

Greg responds...

It's stated in the episode that Icicle Jr. (age 17) PETITIONED to be tried as an adult.

The Terror Twins are both 18.

Hey Mr Weisman. Young Justice is a great show- thanks for putting so much time and effort into it to make so enjoyable! Now, we know that Zatanna is coming due to the solicts. How old is she? Thanks and I'm looking forward to the episode!

Greg responds...

Fourteen.

Hi Greg, I've watched 'Homefront' twice now and it is absolutely my favourite episode of the series so far. Jon did a fabulous job writing it and all the voice acting and animations were brilliant.

First off, Artermis' character development was brilliant, I already liked her before as the 'badass girl' on the team but now we've seen that underneath all that she is just a teenage girl with her own fears. We also see that she really does care for her team-mates and her skill with her bow is AMAZING!! That shot she takes right at the end just left me going 'Wooooooaaaaaahhhhhhh'

Robin at the beginnning kept making me laugh with his cheekiness. That stunt with the camera was just too funny, as well as his little interrogation of Artemis when he meets her at the zeta-tube in Gotham (which hinted to me that he knows exactly who she is) And I loved how we see how good he is at what he does as well as how serious and mature he can be, it just proves that he is the most experienced and a badass ninja.

And smart Wally was a complete breath of fresh air! I love Wally, I really do (I love everybody) but sometimes his hyper and slightly obnoxious ways can get a little annoying since it can sometimes make him look like a complete idiot so it was great to see him speak techno-babble and show off his intelligence for once.

I just have one question, will the apparant lack of concern over Kaldur's wellbeing be adressed? It came up in Bereft when Megan flew off to save Superyboy instead of making sure a near-death Kaldur made it somewhere where he could be treated and again in Homefront when only he mentions the fact that he could also die from the fire-cage. I know that it Bereft Wally, Robin and Artemis were concerned about Kaldur but this episode made it seem as if he was getting a little overlooked.

Once again, great episode and I can't wait to see the rest!

Greg responds...

I just can't agree with you about Kaldur. I don't see ANY indication that the others are/were unconcerned about his well-being - and that INCLUDES M'gann in "Bereft".

Hey Greg. I was re-watching Targets and couldn't help but notice the use of actual firearms (you know, that fire bullets) it's awesome, because I know there are a lot of restrictions dealing with stuff like that on a kid orientated channel like CN. Did you have to ask for permission to use guns like that, or was it just given to you?

Also, in the comics Red Torpedo was a girl and Red Inferno a guy, but in Homefront the genders are swapped. Was there any particular reason behind this?

Keep up the good work!

Greg responds...

1. There are restrictions, but using real guns is no longer anathema at CN.

2. Actually, as mentioned in an earlier post, these two were developed for the Red Tornado mini-series I wrote and was not published. Beyond that, Red Torpedo (a.k.a. Jim Lockhart) was always a guy going back to the Golden Age of comics. I have no idea why, in the Tornado mini-series that DC eventually DID publish, the genders were switched. But we decided to stick with what was historically accurate.

Hello Mr. Weisman. Congratulations to you and the rest of the YJ crew on Home Front. I had a few questions I had hoped you'd be willing to answer.
1. In some versions, I know that Barbara Gordon has been presented as Jim Gordon's niece, whom he raised as his daughter. In other versions, she's his daughter biologically as well (In still others, she's Alfred's daughter, but it's best not to dwell there). Granted, she's Jim Gordon's daughter in every way that really counts in either version, but, for the record, could you clarify which is the case on Earth-16?
2. How would you characterize Dick and Barbara's interactions in general? Casual friendship? Surrogate siblings, to an extent?
3. Did Dick Grayson immediately debut as Robin, or did Batman make him undergo some sort of training program or evaluation before he'd take Dick with him?
4. I like Robin's gauntlet computer. Does Batman have something similar?
5. How old is Guardian?
6. How old is Alfred Pennyworth?
7. How old is Captain Atom (chronologically and biologically, if they're different)?
8. My apologies if this is asking too much, but can you confirm that the Earth-16 Captain Atom is not a sentient energy field in a containment suit? Bruce Timm and company seem unusually fond of presenting him as such, having done so in both JLU and the Superman/Batman: Public Enemies DTV. Don't get me wrong, I love every DC cartoon that's been produced (with the exception of Batman Beyond), but I've never understood why they did this. I mean, you've got a sentiest energy field that, since the word atom appears in his name, must, by Hollywood "logic," be just waiting to explode. What do we do? We send him into battle against people who are powerful enough to puncture that suit, and then act surprised when a city-sized area is suddenly in imminent danger. Sorry, I guess I've veered from my question somewhat (upon reflection, it's entirely possible that you didn't know about the whole sentient energy field thing).
Thank you for your time, Sir, and for everything else you do for the fans. Few writers make themselves available to the fandom as much as you do, and the vast majority of us greatly appreciate it, even if it sometimes probably feels like we're taking it for granted.

Greg responds...

1. She's his daughter.

2. Best friends... with potential.

3. I guess you'd have to define "immediately", but the short answer is both.

4. He has access to the technology.

5. Twenty-four.

6. Sixty-four.

7. He's seventy chronologically. About twenty-eight biologically.

8. Yes, I can confirm that he is NOT "a sentient energy field in a containment suit."
