Revelation was an amazing episode!
1.) How old is the Joker?
2.) How old is Poison Ivy?
3.) How old is Lex Luthor?
4.) How old is Queen Bee?
5.) What color are the Joker's eyes?
6.) How old is Rocket?
Thanks for your time.
1. Joker is 32.
2. Poison Ivy is 27.
3. Lex Luthor is 46.
4. Queen Bee is 28.
5. Sorry, I don't remember, and I'm not currently in a location where I can check.
6. Rocket is 15.
Hi Greg. I was wondering how the Joker's design in YJ came to be. This version struck me as a crazed Beatle, with the sideburns, the slender build, the fitted suit, and the more youthful face. Don't misinterpret that as a complaint, it makes him very distinct from the DCAU version and the Red Hood version (which is all I'm familiar with). But it's still a curious design choice I wouldn't have expected, and I'd like to know how it came about. Did you have something in mind, and Mr. Bourassa brought it to life, or did you and Brandon take a shining to a concept he brought to you?
If you were toying with other concepts, would you describe them? Concept art always fascinates me, I like seeing other possible directions a character might have taken.
I think your Joker's look made him seem more disturbed than a menacing look would have. Especially with all the knife flailing. He's the only Joker I've seen that would look pretty normal after a re-color. I hope to see him again!
As always, our lead character designer is Phil Bourassa, who works with input from myself and Brandon Vietti. I don't know exactly how it came about; I just know that I love it.
I've been up since early in the morning, I'm still recovering from the flu, I spent all day running around New York Comic Con, and I will be doing the same tomorrow. I need a lot of sleep. But that doesn't mean that I'm going to miss out on watching and reviewing "Young Justice."
This was, to use a term coined by J. Michael Straczynski, a wham episode. So much happened, and fast. A lot of action, a lot of suspense and, yes, a big revelation. Although one that, I think, was guessed by many people before the episode aired. I will elaborate on that momentarily.
Giant plant creatures are terrorizing the world, and are being organized, seemingly, by the Injustice League. Count Vertigo, Wotan, Poison Ivy, Black Adam, Ultra Humanite, and the Joker. The Justice League faces the plant creatures while The Team are sent in to take down the villains' means to control the plants, ergo facing the villains.
The biggest surprise of this episode was Aqualad using the helmet of Dr. Fate to defeat the Injustice League, particularly Wotan. The battle was very suspenseful, and I was actually glad that in addition to Dr. Fate, The Team was bailed out by the Justice League. I think it would have strained credibility if The Team was able to defeat the Injustice League on their own.
The episode ends with both the League and The Team thinking they've defeated the secret society of villains that have been conspiring against them before we finally cut to Vandal Savage, and the revelation of the identities of The Light. The only real surprise in this line-up was Klarion, as action figure photos from ToyFair and those playing cards that were given away at San Diego Comic Con pretty much gave away everybody else, except for Ra's al Ghul and Lex Luthor who were revealed as members back in "Targets."
I like this line-up. A lot. I am especially excited that Vandal Savage is clearly the head honcho in this organization instead of Lex Luthor. I remember being rather disappointed when "Justice League" and "Justice League Unlimited" were airing and after introducing Vandal Savage, who had all the makings of a great Big Bad that would have helped the series better achieve their own identity, they defaulted (constantly) to Lex Luthor which helped make these series look more like direct sequels to "Superman the Animated Series."
I'm also very interested to learn more about what drives him. The way he uses the word "light" makes me think that, to him, this is more than just a cool name for his little secret society. This is a word that sums up something he deeply believes in. I also like his design, he looks like a savage and a neanderthal. I am curious to learn where those three scars across his face came from. Hmm... did he have a run in with a certain demon in Scotland back in the Dark Ages?
The voice cast in this episode was quite interesting. First, I rather enjoyed Brent Spiner as the Joker. His performance has been getting some mixed reviews across the internet. I personally thought it was terrific, but there were times when it felt wrong to me too. And I know exactly why it did, because we've imbibed Mark Hamill as the Joker for nineteen years now. Hamill owns that role, at least as far as voice work goes. That's a lot to live up to, but I think Spiner will rise to the challenge and while he will never own the Joker the way Hamill does, he is already a worthy one.
Alyssa Milano sounded great as Poison Ivy, but I can tell she's new at voice acting. This is not a knock, with more time to play this character, and especially with a genius like Jamie Thomason directing her, I'm sure she will grow into it. I am reminded of Emma Samms in "City of Stone Part One," and how she grew as a voice actor by the time part four aired.
And I loved hearing Steve Blum again. He's been a favorite of mine for a long time.
The only things that felt a little bit odd to me was Wotan being a part of a group that was trying to ransom $10 billion. I'll admit, before tonight, I had never heard of Wotan. After the episode aired, I looked him up on wikipedia, and based on what I read, a ransom scheme doesn't seem like his style. He seems like someone who plays at higher stakes. Likewise, Klarion, seems too petty and impatient to be a part of an organization like The Light. But time, and more episodes will tell. This production team chose these characters for these positions for a reason, and Greg Weisman has not erred on his previous shows.
The other thing, I felt Aqualad was able to remove the helmet a little too easily. Yeah, he mentioned that Kent Nelson helped, but I hope the next time someone puts that helmet on, taking it off does not come so easily.
This episode was a real game changer, and it leaves me pumped to see what comes next. So far, this show has taken time to grow on me. I liked it, a lot. It's an A+ show, easily. But "Gargoyles" and "Spectacular Spider-Man" were A+ shows with a lot of extra credit. But now, for the first time, I am pumped on this show. I think the extra credit is about to be turned in.
Oh, and if you didn't love Artemis's line about feeling naked and not in the fun way, you have no soul.
Cave Bear.
And Alyssa Milano is not particularly new to voice acting.
Are Green Arrow and Artemis close?
Stay tuned and judge for yourself.
Do the Injustice League know they've been used as scapegoats and red herrings by the Light?
"Scapegoat" is a strong word. Otherwise, NO COMMENT.
Greg, in the "Revelations" episode of Young Justice, was the Injustice League headquarters a homage to the Hall of Doom from Challenge of the Super Friends? Thank you.
Yes.
Dear Greg,
Wow, Revelations was great!! I loved the Injustice League, all the members got good screen time, and were accurate to their characters. Of course Joker steals all the scenes he's in, perfect. And thank you for the reserve League members. It was nice to see Plastic Man, Guy, even Blue Devil! But Icon and Rocket really threw me off, I mean wha?? They didn't even survive the reboot (as far as I know). And The Light, it was nice to see a lot of my guesses were right, I knew Brain was in there! Though Klarion was a surprise. Only one thing would have made me happier about this episode, and that would've been an appearance by a certain muck-encrusted denizen of the bayou formerly known as Alec Holland. Now onto some questions I have;
1-Did I hear Wotan use one or more of the spells The Archmage used? If so, awesome, thank you.
2-Is one of the Light emebers Ocean Master?
3-Will Wolf get named? Or the sphere?
4-Are Icon and Rocket League reservists? Or were they just other heroes helping out?
4b-How many reservists does the League have?
Please send my praise to the cast and crew. Can't wait for next week!
First off, those weren't "reserve League members".
1. Yes.
2. Yes.
3. They've already been named Wolf and Sphere.
4. No.
4a. Yes.
4b. None.
Was that Dwayne McDuffie's Icon I saw in the episode Revelation?
Yep.
Hello Greg. I've been loving Young Justice, and Revelation has been the best episode so far, in my opinion. It made me so happy to see Blue Devil get a cameo, since he's such a cool character who has really been underused.
My question is, has Blue Devil been turned into a real demon, or is he still just stuck in his stunt suit? And on that note, was the trident he was using magic or tech?
NO COMMENT.
On tonight's new episode of Young Justice "Revelations" (Which I enjoyed by the way) it showed the inclusion of milestone media characters Icon & Rocket fighting off the plant creatures along with the Justice League.
1. Were you a fan of the original Milestone Media?
2. There are rumors circulating that Rocket will be the 7th member of The Team. Can you comment on this?
3. Do you plan on using any other milestone characters such as Static?
thanks for taking the time for answering my questions. Love the show!
1. I was a particular fan of Icon & Rocket. I didn't read any of the other books with any consistency.
2. NO COMMENT.
3. NO COMMENT.
Hi,Greg. First of all,thanks for answering this if you ever do.
Can you tell us all of the JLA members introduced in this episode. I didn't recognize the pink aura woman.
P.S. Great show.
No new Justice Leaguers have been introduced since episode 101.
1. How old is Lori Lemaris? (P.S. I love her look, very unconventional for a mermaid in an awesome way. Hope to see her in future episodes! P.P.S. Not a backdoor spoiler request.)
2. How old is Iris Allen?
1. Lori Lemaris is fifteen.
2. Iris Allen-West is twenty-nine.
who founded the jsa?
Sheldon Mayer and Gardner Fox, I think.
Who Voices Billy Batson?
When are you going to put The End Credits on the website?
Is James Remar vocing Hawkman?
1. Wait and see.
2. All the end credits through episode 118 are on the website in the archives.
3. James voiced Icicle Sr.
Young Justice has high-resolution, fluid animation. Does that bring up the cost more compared to other cartoons?
I'd think so... but I don't know the budgets of OTHER shows.
Hi Greg. I had a question concerning the YJ comic and it's availability on Amazon. So far, no listing for your companion book issues seems to exist, save the following, entitled "Young Justice Vol. 1", scheduled to be released in 2012.
http://www.amazon.com/Young-Justice-Vol-Art-Baltazar/dp/1401233570/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1318612414&sr=1-1
What exactly is this? There's not a lot of information. Will this be a bundled collection of a few of the issues? 160 pages suggests it's a collection, but that number doesn't seem high enough to include every issue out by that point. Thanks.
I think your direct tie-in marketing for the comic is handled really well, as I don't ever buy them, but plan to get this. That said, I wouldn't have had a clue of its existence without this site, and I still wouldn't have had an incentive if I hadn't read here that the content was relevant (other heroes' backstories, lead-in to the Clayface fight). You guys REALLY needs some advertising. I hope you at least include an insert or something with the eventual DVD season.
I'm only guessing, but it looks like a trade paperback collecting some amount (probably the first six or so) of issues of the comic.
To be clear, I have NO involvement with (let alone control over) the marketing of the show, comic, trades or dvds.
Does Kaldur stay/live at Mount Justice? Seems like only Superboy and M'gann do. But "Downtime" makes me think otherwise since Kaldur was absent from Atlantis for a while. He does seem to be present more often is Mt Justice lately in eps tho...
ASKED AND ANSWERED.
Kaldur lives in Shayeris. He wasn't absent from Atlantis for a while, he was absent from Poseidonis for awhile. For more on this, check out issues 14 and 15 of the Young Justice Comic Book.
I dont know if this has been asked before but
1. Will we ever See Static and Gear from Static Shock? And if so will we see the metabreed. I just thought that since the Light was after mutagens like the Kobra venom, bang baby gas might be on their list.
2. Is T O Morrow Working for the Light?
3. Will braniac Make an Appearance?
4. Will Gorrila Grodd Make an Appearance
1. NO COMMENT.
2. With. Or he was anyway.
3. NO COMMENT.
4. NO COMMENT.
Hey. I love Young Justice so much! My friends consider me a tomboy since I love that much.
1. Do Green Lanterns have powers in YJ, or does the ring provide all their powers?
2. Kid Flash mentioned that Green Lantern helped hollow out the Cave. Was he talikng about Hal or John?
3. Who are planning to voice the two Lanterns?
1. Uh... their rings, if I'm understanding the question correctly.
2. Both probably, but John's the architect.
3. Kevin Michael Richardson is John. No comment on Hal.
Is Robin's mask equipped with electronic lenses? What modes does he have? And I imagine the lenses don't emit a light glow right?
Imagine all you like!
1. Who will Zatanna be voiced by?
2. Without giving any spoilers out, are you planning for every teammate to have some sort of interaction because I've noticed how some of them hasn't even spoken to eachother.
3. Is there anymore information about the comics that the fans can know?
1. Lacey Chabert.
2. You're exaggerating.
3. Sure. What do you want to know?
Hello Greg
Will you have holiday episodes for Young Justice?
Sorta.
I've been watching Young Justice since last Thanksgiving, and I'm really enjoying it and am glad we're finally getting new episodes again. No questions right now, just sending you compliments on a generally well-crafted show.
I love Kaldur, M'gann, Superboy, and Artemis, and also Black Canary. I'm really looking forward to getting more about The Light and everyone's evil daddies. I also like the less emotional portrayal of Red Tornado and how you are dealing with Superman being a bad father. Though, I would appreciate it if maybe Wally finally realized not to be a jerk to his female teammates. Also, the internet keeps having persistent rumors that you're going to kill off Kaldur, and I realize it's probably too late as it sounds like season 1 is pretty much in the can, but I beg you not to.
Overall, though, I am enjoying what's happened so far and looking forward to more.
Glad you like it.
Why did you feel that the Team in Young Justice needed a pet (in the form of Wolf)?
They have two pets actually, Wolf and Sphere.
But it's not about us thinking the Team needed pets as much as it was about us organically playing out the characters and what they'd do - especially, in this case, Superboy.
What happened to Artemis' ARROW (it's become a huge thing, everyone is spelling it with capitals now) that Wally took as a souvenir after Homefront?
P.S I know this'll be answered months after it's posted, but I would like to thank for all the great episodes which aired in the meantime. I unconditionally love this show.
It's back in the trophy room, although it's a bit melty now.
Since Superman doesn't care about Superboy. Is his attitude towards him is something like "You stay the h*** away from me!"?
I think the premise of your question is incorrect, which makes answering it pretty much impossible.
I tried looking at the archives but I couldn't tell if this question had already been asked.
In most of the Superman films, Superman is very caring towards his family such as Supergirl.
How come he isn't this way with Superboy?
ASKED AND ANSWERED.
Though mostly, I'm just going to let the series and its characters speak for itself/themselves.
Are you gonna include Ravager(A.K.A Rose Wilson) and or Deathstroke(A.K.A Slade Wilson) in Young Justice?
NO COMMENT.
IF Harley Quinn appears will we see her teamed up as a duo with Poison Ivy, on Young Justice?
And if so, who are doing their voices?
Poison Ivy is voiced by Alyssa Milano.
NO COMMENT on anything else.
1.) What color are Zatanna's eyes?
2.) How old is Zatanna?
3.) I believe Jesse McCartney stated in an interview that Robin would not have a love interest in Season 1. Does the same go for Season 2? (Or any subsequent Seasons?)
1. Blue.
2. Fourteen.
3. NO COMMENT.
Has artemis trained with black canary yet?
Yes.
Does Artemis patrol with Green Arrow?
See issue #16 of the comic.
1) Are all members of the Light on the same page, or is their dissent within the group?
2) Were Wolf and Mr. Tawny injected with Kobra-Venom?
1. Generally, they are on the same page.
2. Yes. Though Tawny at least also received the same brain enhancement treatment that Brain gave Mallah.
Hi Their! I was just wondering if I could ask how old the riddler is?
Thanks
ps Great job on the show! Good Luck!
Thirty.
Would you and Brandon Vietti consider using the Mad Hatter on Young Justice? Since Batman: The Animated Series, he's been neglected in animation. He was amazing on that show.
NO COMMENT.
I apologize if this is a double- it doesn't seem to have posted:
Wow... took me forever just catching up on the unanswered questions. Certainly gives me added appreciation to the time you take to actually answer them. Apologies if I've muddled where some things occurred in the time between watching/reading and typing.
Targets:
1- So Artemas & Cheshire are sisters... it's what I suspected, but I still really like the dynamics it sets up. (It seems odd to read someone feels females are under represented in YJ considering it feels to me like the three characters getting the most play (episodes and comic books combined) are Artemas, M'gann and Superboy. By nature of the time period of the series the girls are among the newest side kicks and it shows, but it's how the pieces fit. I'd love to see more of the wildly effective Black Canary, but the kids are the focus of the series.)
2-Politics....
a-Is it just my imagination, or were the stand in for S. Korea body gaurds not Asian? If so, why?
b-Why talk of reunification and not just relations? The latter seems far more realistic.
3- Was Ras aGhul's line about how "Peaceful countries rarely call upon the League of Shadows" purely for Roy's benefit, or was there some truth behind it?
4- High school... there are sure a lot of superpowered, or eventually to be powered teens in that school.... I think you already said that Conner didn't recognize Snapper Carr.
5- Still loving the way the credits refer to characters as they appeared in the episode- If in uniform, that name. If not, not.
6-The Sphere is a cutie. Still reminding me of the Forever People's car that adopted the previous team name YJ.
Terrors-
Liked it very much, but don't have much to say. Always love seeing The Wall. (Well, excepting the image someone posted of how she looks in the New52 Suicide Squad. Any Amanda Waller I outweigh is just plain wrong.) The nature of the operations was a perfect illustration of what was meant by the team's purpose being covert. The relationship between M'gann and Conner continues to charm. And for once on TV someone notices a face out of place!
One very strange compliment: I don't like Icicle Jr's look. This struck me as a good thing. I hadn't really noticed till I was comparing his human look (which was more pleasing) and his iced up one. It makes sense that the combination of how his condition effects him and his own esthetic sense creates his 'costume' may result in something I personally don't like. There is no reason my tastes and that of a 17 yr old hoodlum with daddy issues should aline.
[I don't remember if it was in reference to this ep, or another in which M'Gann and Conner kiss, but I heard a very amusing anecdote in a podcast interview of Danica McKeller about being asked to actually kiss to get the proper sound in the voice recording. She was ok with it, but Nolan North was distinctly uncomfortable considering how very pregnant she was at the time. http://www.jimmyaquino.typepad.com/comicnewsinsider/2011/08/episode-351-cni-one-shot-animation-special-green-lantern-and-young-justice.html]
Homefront- Also enjoyed a lot but don't have much important to say.
1-The Sphere is still really cute.
2-Artemas shined- being inexperienced and overwhelmed makes sense. How she handled it spoke volumes about her.
3-Robin's 'get trought' line was another instance of a verbal tic I don't love used very well and believably. (I don't love "Hello M'gann!" but I very much like it when she uses it in an offhand almost to herself way. It's how real people use annoying speech habits. ...well it's how I use mine;)
4-I got Barbara's cameo {resisting asking the obvious spoiler questions about whether she's Batgirl yet, sanctioned yet, part of the earlier 'croweded batcave' remark Robin made, or going to show up much at all since she's a Gotham and not YJ character... with great difficulty resisting asking if she knows Dick is Robin, and if so, does Dick know she does.}. I see others have asked if Dick skipped a grade to be a freshman. I think it's been asked how old Bab's is. I'll ask if she's skipped any grades? I'm used to the college at 16 Bab's from the comics.
5- Missed the Bette cameo. oops
6- Red Tornado has 'family'...not complaining, but it makes me miss the version with a wife and daughter. Different universe, different stage of life- I just liked them.
7- My guess: Reddy was not the mole, but the mole is as unaware as Reddy would have been. (Not expecting confirmation.)
Alpha Male- Also really happy with the episode.
1-Liking how M'gann resorts to multiple limbs (your animators must have your faces on dart boards).
2-Capt Marvel is fun.
3-One episode of Conner being ridiculously over protective of one of the most physically imposing members of the group is enough- ending with an actual resolution to the issue was very smart. Whether it ends up being perfect or not, I assume it won't be that over the top going fwd. And I do like it when teenagers are allowed to actually talk about what is making them act stupid instead of being forced to continue that way in some mistaken idea that the brain shorts out completely at puberty.
4-Khory's leadership was nicely showcased. The team's annoyance and eventual understanding was also played out nicely. (Again, allowed to act as kids and keep brain function.)
5-Like how they all figured out the collars.
Latest comic-
Is Artemas at all embarrassed by her mother or just totally focused on her father when she made the comment that so obviously hurt her mother?
Greedy request-
I either forgot to scribble notes or lost them, so I don't have many individual comments on the past few comics. Would it be possible to open Ask Greg for at least a few days after issues hit the stands like you do after episodes air?
I'm sorry to hear about your dog. Your description of the kennel/shelter for basset hounds you got him from is pretty much my husband's description of heaven. (AC and unlimited back rubs.) It conjured up an image for me of a much loved and happy pet.
TARGETS QUESTIONS
2a. I think there was a mix. Professionally hired and all.
2b. Both were discussed.
3. All things are true.
HOMEFRONT
4. Barbara is 13. I'll admit to being surprised by all the hoohaw about Dick and Barbara being 13 in 9th grade. I was 13 when I started 9th grade and 14 by the time I finished. It doesn't seem that unusual to me. If it makes folks happier to think Barbara skipped one grade, I'm okay with that.
COMIC
"Embarrassed" isn't the word I'd use. But she generally is ASHAMED of her background and relations, dad, mom and sis included.
As for opening Ask Greg, I'd love to but I'm just so overwhelmed with posts (nearly 500 to get through).
What kind of font did you use for the logo Of YJ
I don't know.
1. Why did the doctor drink the blockbuster formula instead of injecting it?
2. Who is Headmaster or Mayor Hill?
3. Is Solomon Grundy a bad guy?
1. It wasn't designed for injection.
2. Look 'em up!
3. Grundy hasn't even appeared.
This is probably a really dumb question, so I apologize. :(
There's a comic book store in town where I buy the YJ comics, but I sometimes miss a issue and the man refuses to order them for me (for a reason I don't know.) I've tried to find them online but can't. Soooo, do you know of anywhere I can get the ones I missed?
I'm afraid I don't know. But I DO know they ARE available for purchase online. Check out DC COMICS' own website.
