Hi Mr. Weisman!
I'd just like to extend my sincere thanks that you've taken so much time out of you busy schedule (I can only imagine what your day's like) to try and answer some questions from devoted fans. It means a lot to us.
Personally, I adore this show. For one that's only just started and only has a few episodes out, it's taken the cartoon-watching community by storm. Trust me, YJ has gotten popular at an ungodly speed. But that's a good thing.
I don't want to ask too many questions. I'd rather just watch and see the answers unfold in the show and the comics. But I just have one (and don't worry, I scoured the archives, so I hope this hasn't been asked) question:
A while back, there were rumors of an episode 11 titled "Nightwatch" about Robin and Batgirl in Gotham. You don't have to say whether Batgirl's ever going to cameo (I know, I know, "NO COMMENT") but could you tell me what happened to the episode? Has it been scrapped, or has it been reassigned to a different season.
I checked all the episode names for this season and I couldn't find it, so I assumed that you had trashed "Nightwatch". Or maybe it wasn't ever really an episode in the first place?
Thanks again,
Brick
Greg responds...
We didn't trash anything. There was never an episode of Young Justice called "Nightwatch". My guess is your rumor was just that. A rumor. And since it was completely false, it was really more of a LIE that someone posted and other folks passed around.
Gabriela writes...
This isn't so much a question as it is utmost praise and appreciation. I love your work on Young Justice everything is beautifully done. My favorite character is Kid Flash and I'm so happy with the way that you portray him on your show.
I'm happy to say that I enjoy all of the characters, and even their little quirks, such as Robin play with the English language, and M'gann's "Hello Meagan!". Personally I don't see why it bothers everyone so much.
So I would just like to say thank you for making such a wonderful show.
Greg responds...
You're welcome. I'm glad you're enjoying it!

Howdy Greg,
Just to start off I am absolutly in love with Young Justice. Amazing work. You've said in a couple of your answers that Red Arrow has more money than Green Arrow and I was wondering how that happened. I always thought their relationship was like Robin & Batman's. Sorry if this is common DC knowledge, YJ is pretty much my first expierience with superheros.
Thanks :)
Greg responds...
When Oliver Queen had money, he set up a trust for Roy Harper, who also had a small inheritance of his own. Then Ollie lost all his money. But that didn't effect Roy's trust, which he came into possession of when he turned eighteen.

Have you seen the trailer for Ultimate Spider-Man? I'm asking because it looks horrible. I mean seriously, a Spider-toaster?!? I miss Spectacular Spider-Man. You know better than to give us Spider-toasters.
Greg responds...
I haven't seen it. So I don't know what you're talking about.
But I'm not opposed to Spider-Toasters on principle.
I miss Spectacular Spider-Man too, but I wouldn't count Ultimate out. There are some great people working on it.
Eagle-Owl writes...
Hey, just a few questions about YJ's Vandal Savage:
1) How did you guys decide on Vandal Savage being the leader of The Light? I almost expected Lex Luthor to be the leader until I saw Targets.
2) How did you guys decide on Miguel Ferrer's voice being used for Vandal Savage? He is a great voice actor, he's obviously doing his job here well, and I've seen a couple of his roles (Shan Yu, Silvermane) and thought they were impressive, but I couldn't have seen him voicing Vandal Savage until after I saw Revelations.
3) Nice scars on Vandal Savage's face. Is that a deliberate reference to the Hunters from Gargoyles? Or is there something else behind them that would compel you to give me the dreaded "NO COMMENT"?
Greg responds...
1. Vandal is first among equals. The Light was his idea. And he's the oldest.
2. I think Jamie, Brandon and I all just thought that Miguel is tough to beat for this kind of thing. I vaguely feel like I was the one who suggested him for the role in the first place, but that may just be me taking credit for a great idea.
3. Phil Bourassa came up with the scars in his orignial design for the character, declaring they were the result of a fight with a cave bear. They have nothing to do with GARGOYLES.

Not a question but i wanna say how awesome you are!! I think your a genius and you kinda made me the person i am today;) I love almost all of the shows you've worked on and Young Justice is my favorite. I have truly never seen a show like this. The way the characters act is amazing and you really showed the image of teenagers in an excellent way and the action is also amazing. Please keep up the amazing work(everyone working on the show)On Young Justice. And thank you for bringing us these amazing shows
Greg responds...
You're very welcome. Thank you for the kind words.

Hi would like to know how old this drawing of Wonder Woman? you said it was 90 in a 90 question was really true?
Greg responds...
I'm sorry. I'm not really sure I'm understanding your question. Wonder Woman is 85 years old in our series. Did I write 90? If so that was either an error or I've revised things since I posted that. If not, I'm just not clear on what you're asking...

5. Are the gotham cops corrupt?
6. Were superman, batman, and the other super heroes when they first appeared on the scene considered outlaws?
7. After the 50's did jay garrick ever fought any supervillians?
8. How old is the atomic skull and what's his oroigin story?
9. Besides the league who knows about the team?
10. Are hal and barry friends?
11. What are the leagures religions?
Greg responds...
I haven't given most of this any thought. These answers are off the top of my head, and I won't be held to them, if I change my mind.
1. Iris, Jay, Joan, Wally, Rudy, Mary, most of the League.
2. Barry, Bruce, Clark, Diana, J'onn, Orin, Ollie, Diana. John. Maybe Thom.
3. Bruce, Diana, J'onn, Barry, Hal, Orin.
4. Superman and Batman, once. Flash and Green Lantern once.
5. All of them? No.
6. Some were, some were not.
7. Yes.
8. I'm not getting into his origin at this time, but he's 28 years old.
9. Alfred, Mera, Orm, Rudy, Mary, Iris, Dubbilex, Guardian, Paula, plus the Light and various affiliates thereof.
10. Yep.
11. I'd have to do some research and heavy thinking on this question. Mostly, I just don't know. But most are Christians by heritage if not in practice. The obvious exceptions are Aquaman & Wonder Woman, who are pagans and Martian Manhunter, who worships the gods of M'arzz. Red Tornado is studying multiple religions. I also know from writing the comic book that Captain Atom was raised Catholic, even if he doesn't practice it much. Zatara's probably Catholic too. Hawkman & Hawkwoman worship whatever religion people worship on Thanagar. I think that covers it.
Conventions...
So I was invited to attend Kimvention 2012 - the new convention dedicated to the KIM POSSIBLE television series: http://kimvention2012.com/
I would have loved to attend, but unfortunately, I had already committed to Denver Comic Con the same weekend: http://www.denvercomiccon.com/
I'm really looking forward to Denver, but I do wish I were able to attend both.
Kimvention should be a lot of fun. And Kim Possible was a great series. So if you're anywhere near Anaheim this June, I'd recommend it.
And if you're anywhere near Denver, come see me at Denver Comic Con.
The Batfan writes...
Sorry, sorry, a correction to question number 6. I was asking about the point in "Revelation" where Atomic Skull blasts Kid Flash, not the Flash. Thanks!
Greg responds...
Oh. Uh. I'd need to look at it again, I guess.
The Batfan writes...
Hi! It's me again, and wow, we've had some great episodes since "Terrors." "Home Front" and "Alpha-Male" really served to underline one thing I think is really great about this show: the bad guys aren't go to show the heroes mercy, just because they're teenagers. If these people can stomach killing civilians, they will definitely use lethal force to get rid of a few meddling kids.
...and then there was "Revelation," which blew my already high expectations for this show right out of the water.
It's not just that I think this show is nine kinds of amazing; the thought that keeps crossing my mind is, "This is the definitive animated version of the DC universe." This coming from someone who loved Batman: the Animated Series, and watched Teen Titans, The Batman, and the vast majority of DCAU material. Maybe it's because I'm not as young anymore, and I need a more mature, more plausible, more "complete" world; but while that's certainly a weighty factor in why I like Earth-16, I really think the level of writing and design seen on this show just hasn't been surpassed by any animated DC material that I've seen yet.
Anyway, sorry about that rant of praise. I'm sure you get a lot of it. I do have a few questions:
1. I looked through the archives, and there have been a lot of questions about Robin's - or, more specifically, Dick Grayson's age and grade level. I get that he's thirteen, and a freshman; he's definitely smart enough to have skipped a grade somewhere down the line. My question is this: if he is a freshman, and therefore new to Gotham Academy, why does its gym have his math prizes before he starts going there?
2. Belle Reve seems to hold many criminals who do not actually have any super-powers. Why are they held there, and what do their collars actually do, besides shock them? (I'm thinking more particularly of Riddler - though I know there's a question about him pending - Abracadabra, Ojo, and, with the exclusion of Killer Frost and Icicle Jr., the ice villains).
3. How do the power inhibitor collars have any effect on Mammoth and Blockbuster? Not only is their strength in their muscles (and therefore not a "supernatural" effect that can be canceled unless the collars generate some kind of gravity field - and then they wouldn't be able to move), but the Brain's collars don't seem to do anything to his enhanced animals.
4. How old is Wotan, and *what* is he?
5. How old is Black Adam, and why are his ears pointed?
6. When Atomic Skull blasts the flash, why does he not sustain severe radiation burns?
7. I really, really liked the way you re-introduced the Helmet of Fate. The entrance on that amazing low drone singing. The ethereal, solemn sense of power that created really served to demonstrate that Fate isn't just some hero - he's the physical manifestation of a cosmic entity. Anyway, my question: did you get a singer to vocalize that, or was it done digitally somehow?
8. Speaking of - I'm curious about the music in animated TV shows. Do you record real musicians playing the tracks (orchestras, rock bands, etc.), or is it all done digitally? And if it is all digital nowadays, might you know when the switch was made?
Thank you so much. Looking forward to more great episodes!
Greg responds...
I'll always take rants of praise. Never get enough. Yes, I'm just that shallow.
1. ASKED AND ANSWERED. (It's a six year school. 7th-12th grades.)
2. Riddler's collar does nothing but potentially shock him and keep him in line. But any "super-villain" who could easily escape a standard prison can be housed at Belle Reve, whether they have innate super-powers or not.
3. Brain's collars weren't designed to inhibit, just to maintain discipline (which is another function), so that's an apples and oranges argument. As for Mammoth and Blockbuster, the collars inhibit their muscles. Not 100%, but clearly enough.
4. Old.
5. I've never understood why his ears are pointed. But they are. Black Adam is also old.
6. When did he blast the Flash?
7. I'm pretty sure it's digital.
8. Well, every series is different. Most - but not all - of the YJ music is synth. But of course, "real musicians" did record the synth . But for example, on Spectacular Spider-Man, guitar was such an important element of our score, that although most of the music was synth, the guitar work was always the genuine article.

I don't know why I just thought about the show but I did, think you have any sway on making the rest on DVD? Seriously, one of the best cartoons I have watched (BTW I am 27 years old). I'm sad to see that only part of season 2 is on DVD.
Greg responds...
No new news that I know of. And, no, I seem to have no sway, I'm afraid.

Just 1 YJ question. While trying to break out of prison, how did Mr. Freeze use his powers if the collar was supposed to nullify them?
Greg responds...
The collar only nullifies innate powers. Not powers granted by added technology. Mr. Freeze's powers are not innate. (Only his weaknesses are.) The smuggled technology allowed him to freeze stuff.

Gwen writes...
All right, before I ask my question, I just want to say that Young Justice is one of the most well-written and well-animated shows I've seen in a very long time, and I adore the fact that it is able to take itself seriously and that it develops such compelling characters without heaps of backstory (though, granted, I have yet to read the companion comics). That praise sounded a lot more eloquent in my head. Oh, well.
Anyway, I just wanted to ask something about the episode titles. I've noticed that the majority of the titles are only one word, except for "Independence Day," "Welcome to Happy Harbor," and the last two planned for season one, "Usual Suspects" and "Auld Acquaintance." (I count Alpha-Male and Drop-Zone as one word titles because they have hyphens.)
I just wanted to ask, are the episodes with two words in the title going to be especially important ones, like Independence Day (the pilot) and Welcome to Happy Harbor (the, uh, "second pilot," in which the team itself works together for the first time). I may just be stumbling around in the dark here, and I know it's an odd question, but I was just curious.
Thanks again so, so much for creating such an amazing show! I go running out of class every Friday to catch it, haha.
Greg responds...
It doesn't work that way. My tendency has always been for one word titles (or two words if you count the word "The"). But I'll take a better title over a short one any day, and the multiword titles you named just seemed like the best choice for their specific episodes. (FYI, Drop-Zone is hyphenated, but Alpha Male is two words.)
Ifired writes...
First of all: Man this show is awesome. Good work!
2nd: I just noticed something in episode 13: Why does M'Gann say that SuperBoy needs to stop acting like a character from a 70's sitcom when she does the same thing?
Greg responds...
Takes one to know one?

Greetings Mr. Weisman, I've been deeply enjoying your Young Justice Series, one of my fave shows on TV at the moment (love what ya did with alot of the characters and story elements, Kobra venom is SCARY STUFF). I'd like to ask you...
1) Do Starfire, Redhood AKA Jason Todd, Beastboy, Cyborg, Deathstroke, and Blackfire all exist in Earth/Universe 16?
2) How did you decide which villains to use for the Injustice League & the Inner Circle of the Light? I must confess I was more impressed by the Injustice League's roster, which seemed rather well balanced in terms of skill sets, than the Light's roster, which pretty much consists of schemers, mad scientists, and greedy dictators/rich guys. I was kinda hoping the Light's council would consist of the arch villains of each of the Justice League's founding members, ya know, like Joker for Batman (poor Mr. J got screwed over lol), Lex for Superman (happy to see him again >8D), Cheetah for Wonderwoman, Sinestro for Green Lantern, etc, etc. I mean, I get Lex & Ghul, but the rest of the Light's lineup seems to consist of lesser villains most people outside the DC comic fanbase wouldn't recognize, or who wouldn't be construed as top tier villains who'd make even the heroes nervous to see working in concert (especially the Brain XD). So yeah, what made you decide to delegate which villains to the "fall guys" team & the others to the "masterminds" team?
Thanks for your time and keep up the awesome work on the show, you rule :D
Greg responds...
1. NO COMMENT.
2. Lots of considerations went into the formation of both groups.
We came up with the Light first, from a list of easily 100+ DC villains. Most of the choices were fairly obvious to us, but we did try to create balance. But it was not about powers with them. You're notion of a major villain from each founding Leaguer's rogue's gallery had absolutely NOTHING to do with our process at all. So the fact that you fell in love with that notion and were disappointed when it didn't turn out to be true is something I just can't control - or even concern myself with. But I wouldn't characterize any of them as "lesser villains".
For the Injustice League, we went back to the same list and grabbed a nice range of heavy-hitters with a nice range of powers, particularly abilities that fit with their scheme and would create believable proxies to fool the League into ignoring the Light. Totally different mindset in building this second set of villains.

In Welcome to Happy Harbor, at the end, we see T.0. Morrow. Did he create Red Tornado, Torpedo, or Inferno?
Speaking of T.0. Morrow,
Is he in any way relating to Cadmus?
And speaking of Cadmus,
Is Amanda Waller and Hugo Strange still part of Cadmus? And how does Strange become the new warden at Belle Reve?
Greg responds...
1. Yes, all three, plus Red Volcano.
2. No.
3. What do you mean "still"? On OUR show what gives you the idea they were EVER involved with Cadmus? (They weren't.)
4. You saw how Strange became warden. What do you want me to add?
Just a general hint to our viewers: I think you'll all be happier, if you stop bringing expectations to the series based on outside sources, especially other previous cartoon series' exclusive continuity - and especially, especially when that continuity diverged from the source material. Since we haven't even seen most of those episodes, any common ground comes from common sources, great (or not-so-great) minds thinking alike and/or pure coincidence.

I wanna ask about Icicle Jr.
1. Is hi able to touch people without freezing them when hi is iced up?
2. The collars in Belle Rive, placate his powers and he looked like a normal guy, his skin was normal. But when the collars were stoped his skin looked blue, jagged and pointed again. Can he turn normal skined without usin the collar? or he is jagged and pointed skined full time?
3. Does he and Artemis know in the serie?
4. Whats the deal between he and Dr. Ojo?
Thanks for your time!! Awesome Show :D
Greg responds...
1. Well, he's cold. I guess it depends how long he's touching them. He's not an ice-Midas, if that's what you're asking.
2. He can be normal.
3. See issue #13 of the YJ comic.
4. Some bad blood.

ZP writes...
First off, thank you for taking the time to read my question.
Second, I just want to say that you guys are doing a phenomenal job with Young Justice. I'm loving every second of it and I'm a huge fan of Gargoyles (My sister used to watch it when I was a little kid. I never remembered much, but I did remember Goliath and Elisa). Anyway, you've all done a great job with character designs, plot, animation, all in all, everything! The one thing that I'm loving about your show is the continuity and you've handled it extremely well, something that some cartoons nowadays are lacking.
Robin is by far my favorite character. I just love his laugh and playing around with English grammar. I'll admit, I was a little worried when I read that he was voiced by Jesse McCartney, but after hearing him, I really like it! I've noticed when I was looking through the archive of questions that some people have been giving you a rough time for Megan's catchphrase. Even though I find it a tad annoying, it's not enough for me to hate it. In fact, I think it's cute and really suits her personality. So good on you for sticking it to the haters! I've just got a couple of questions.
1. With Barbara Gordon's cameo and since she was Dick's girlfriend in the DC mainstream, will Robin have a love interest and is it Barbara? I'd ask if she'll become Batgirl, but I have an idea of what you'd say to that.
2. I was really caught off guard by episode 14 when Blue Devil, Guy Gardner, Plasticman, Rocket and Icon came in. Does this mean we will be seeing many other DC heroes that were not introduced as part of the Justice League? Where have they been this entire time and why were they not part of the League? Will they be?
3. Sadly, the only thing in your wonderful show that has disappointed me is the Joker, one of the most iconic villains. He looked like the Joker, but he just didn't feel like him. I'm not going to shout at you for how you portrayed him, but I'm curious as to why you chose to portray him the way you and your team did. Why wasn't he voiced by Mark Hamill?
4. Since Superboy has taken in Wolf, will he be taking in more strays as the series progresses? Why does the Sphere not accompany them on missions like Wolf does?
5. Relationships don't last forever, so will Superboy and Miss Martian break up at some point (not that I want them to)? They are teenagers after all and dealing with, as you put it, "romance issues, sex pounding in your head and all sorts of hormones."
7. Where was the rest of the Team during "Terrors?"
8. It was stated in your interview with World's Finest that Young Justice: Invasion would focus on an alien invasion. Is the invading force Braniac?
9. Since Red Arrow and Cheshire were romantically involved in the DC mainstream, will they be a romance pairing in the show (as inferred from "Targets")?
I would have several other questions, but the response you'll likely provide would be SPOILER or NO COMMENT, so I figured I'll just save you the trouble on those ones. ^_^

1. ASKED AND ANSWERED.
2. Stay tuned. (And just because one debuts as a 'hero' doesn't make it automatic that one's granted membership in the League.)
3. I just can't really understand the thought process behind this question. Why not ask me why I'm not using Cesar Romero as the Joker? (I mean - beyond the fact that he's dead.) We're starting fresh with a fresh interpretation. And frankly, when Brent Spiner was done recording Joker, we were all thrilled.
4. ASKED AND ANSWERED.
5. NO COMMENT.
6. You had no question 6.
7. See issues 16 and 17 of the Young Justice Comics.
8. NO COMMENT.
9. NO COMMENT.

Is Robin considered a celebrity? He seems well-known amongst the general population. I noticed a little girl holding a stuffed Robin doll and the villians are more familiar with his name.
Greg responds...
Yep.

I have a few questions about "Revelations".
a. We were treated to cameos of superheroes like Icon, Plastic Man, Guy Gardner, Blue Devil, etc. Are all these superheroes also part of the Justice League or are they just allies?
b. I wasn't much of a fan of Young Justice's Joker although he could grow on me in the future. That being said, why did you shy away from Mark Hammill's classic Joker? Did you think it didn't fit with the series?
c. Why was Black Adam so toned-down? Shouldn't Black Adam be able to take on the whole Young Justice team on his own?
d. Where was Red Arrow in all this chaos? I know he isn't part of YJ or JLA, but you did mention that he's focusing completely on hero-work. The whole world was in crisis, why didn't he participate?
e. If Dr. Fate is so strong, why doesn't Batman and the rest of the JLA find Nabu a suitable host? Surely, Dr. Fate would be an incredible asett to the team and shouldn't be wasted sitting on Kid Flash's shelf.
Thanks for responding!
Greg responds...
a. ASKED AND ANSWERED.
b. No, we didn't.
c. Why should he? Look, as I've noted on the hero-side, we've brought everyone's power levels back closer to what they were when they originally debuted. That means we've toned Captain Marvel's powers way down. And if Marvel is less powerful than he's sometimes been presented, why wouldn't the same be true of Black Adam.
d. He did. Look again.
e. NO COMMENT.

Hi, Greg. I have just two little questions for you. I believe that Stanley Kubrick was involved in the Gargoyles production. Frankly, I am sure of that, so my questions (I hope not unanswered) are about your relationship with him. How did he contact you, and what part he had in the production? Thanks in advance.
Greg responds...
It's amazing you can be so sure about something that is flat out untrue.
I mean think about this... why would a major motion picture director based in England be involved in a Disney television cartoon that aired in syndication?
I'm guessing you're just pulling my leg.

Will The Shade ever appear on Young Justice? He used to be my favorite character on Justice League.

OK, just for fun -- If you had created the Light for a series set in the Marvel Universe, and you could use any villains you wanted, which 7 would you pick?
Greg responds...
It's a great question. But my mind doesn't work that way.
I'd have to sit down and do research. It took days and days for Brandon and I to narrow down the Light to seven specific villains. And I just don't have time to do that for a hypothetical.

Ok, I once read somewhere that next season called invasion will be relaunched with the DCnU. does that mean that characters that no longer exist in the mainline comics (like Wally West) will no longer be canon in Earth-16 Young Justice?
also, this may seem like a stupid question but, does Wally know Batman's secret ID to or just Robin's?
Greg responds...
1. YOUNG JUSTICE: INVASION will be part of the DC NATION block on Cartoon Network. It is simply the next 'chapter' of Young Justice and is set on Earth-16, which is not influenced by the changes in the mainstream DC Universe, if for no other reason than those changes were announced TOO LATE for us to include them whether or not we might or might not have wanted to.
2. NO COMMENT.

I love anytime you guys throw fairly obscure characters into YJ, as I'm sure many others do. However, I adored the Blue Devil cameo in "Revelation"--his early comics were so funny and so much fun, and I think he's vastly overrated and has a very cool backstory. He had a similar silent cameo in JLU as well, but seeing him even without lines is cool.
Whose idea was it to throw him in? And actually, on a more general note, where do most of the ideas for using the lesser-known characters you come from? Is it usually more collaborative from the entire writers' room, or do people occasionally throw in their favorites every now and then (especially in bigger fight scenes like "Revelation" where you could feasibly fit in any superhero you want)?
Again, thanks for being awesome!
Greg responds...
You think Blue Devil's "vastly overrated"?
It was my idea to throw him in, and I tend to be the one to pull in new characters (that is new-to-the-show pre-existing characters from the comics), though (a) that's not exclusively true and (b) I have help with research from John Wells.
And we can't just throw in any super-hero we want, because any super-hero we want needs to get designed by Phil Bourassa, and there are only so many hours in the day, you know?

Oh my goodness, so sorry (and feel free to not answer since I forgot to include it on the last one), but was the Injustice League's base modelled after the Legion of Doom's old HQ?
Greg responds...

Hi Greg! Loving the show so far, and just a few questions.
* Where was Wonder Woman in "Revelation"?
* And in the same episode, were the additional heroes helping out the League (Blue Devil, Icon, Plastic Man, ECT) meant to be members of the JLA's reserve roster or something? Or were they just random heroes?
* Was the use of Rocket and Icon meant as a nod to the late Dwayne McDuffie? Either way, I just wanna thank you so much for including them, as I know he'd be proud to see his work living on in some form.
Keep up the good work!
Greg responds...
1. Busy.
2. ASKED AND ANSWERED.
3. Dwayne was still alive when we began work on the episode. They weren't a specific tribute to him. Though of course, I was and am a huge fan of Dwayne's work.
