1. Why did Klarion joined the light?

2. What young justice questions are considered spoilers?

3. Are you bothered by the amount of young justice questions?

4. Where do most supervillians draw the line for instance do most of the belle reeve inmates hate sexual crimes?

5. How long has guardian been working at cadmus and how long has he been a superhero?

6. How long has green arrow has been a superhero?

Greg responds...

1. Mostly, because it seemed like fun.

2. Anything that asks about stuff yet to come.

3. Not by the "amount" of questions, but I am bothered by (a) the repeated requests for spoilers and (b) the repeated requests for answers that have ALREADY been answered. (That last category would include this question, by the way.)

4. The population of an entire prison is too diverse to answer this.

5. He's been a hero for two years and head of security at Cadmus for one.

6. Nine years.

Hello Mr. Weisman,

I know that sometimes in DC Comics, there are storylines that are presented that usually take place a certain number of years ahead of the present, which usually show possible futures. In your opinion, will this concept be explored in the Young Justice Show at some point?

Greg responds...

SPOILER REQUEST. NO COMMENT.

About Failsafe - do the characters in the training actually exist? We know Eiling exists in the real world, but are Jason Bard and David Reid actual soldiers or only created for the mission?

Greg responds...

They are or were soldiers that Martian Manhunter knows.

Hi Greg,

Without spoiling any names, can you please tell how many villains there are from each character's Rouges' Gallery (For example: Batman -## villains)? I don't believe numbers count as spoilers because technically you're not naming anybody, and giving the numbers allows fans to think about the possible candidates, since not every villain will show up on the show, right?

Thanks! Looking forward to the next episode!

Greg responds...

No. Just no. Aside from the fact, that this is a de facto spoiler, no matter how you spin it, it's also a massive pain to compile. (And that's aside from the fact that some villains could easily be listed under more than one hero. For example, Kingpin is both a Spider-Man and a Daredevil villain.)

Once the season ends - YOU CAN DO IT!

Otherwise, just exercise a little patience.

1.In terrors why didn't Superboy wait until they were back at the cave and weren't undercover to kiss Miss Martian?
2.How well do Conner and Mal get along?
3.Does anyone at school know Conner and Megan are dating?

Greg responds...

1. It was an impulse.

2. You've seen 'em. What do you think?

3. I think many people at Happy Harbor High assumed they were dating even before they were.

Hey Greg,
Hey Mr. Weisman,

I've got some quick questions about Young Justice. If these questions accidentally expose a potential spoiler, I sincerely apologize.

a. In regards to Wolf's tears and exposed muscles (as a result of being exposed to Kobra Venom), will they eventually heal overtime, or is the damage permanent?

b. In "Failsafe" Superboy expressed shock, and perhaps interest, when he learns about Superman's Fortress of Solitude. In your opinion, do you believe that he will ever get the opportunity to visit it?

c. In the same above mentioned episode, why is Superman wearing a oxygen mask? I could have sworn that recent comics (prior to the DC relaunch) show he was able to breathe in space. With that in mind, what version of the comics is the Young Justice version of Superman based on? (Golden Age? Silver Age?)

d. I understood that the first new series regular was introduced into The Team about halfway through the season (Isn't that about episode 13 or so?), but who is it exactly? If it was Wolf or Sphere, I apologize for not taking either of them into account.

e. Without needing to spoil any identities whatsoever, and in your opinion, what is the maximum number of members of The Team you are trying to aim for? To be more specific, how many males and females are there going to be?

f. The costumes of the characters portrayed thus far seems to appear to be just like those worn by characters prior to DC relaunch. In your opinion, do you think we will be able see any costumes based on those worn by characters since the start of the DC relaunch?

Thanks, and keep those episodes coming!!

Greg responds...

a. You're assuming it's damage.

b. SPOILER REQUEST. NO COMMENT.

c. Superman of Earth-16 cannot breathe in the vacuum of space. No one can. Some entities may not require oxygen to live. Superman does.

c2. He's not 'based' on any single version of anything.

d. Sphere was introduced in episode 109. Wolf in episode 113. What exactly are you asking? Through episode 118, we still only have the original six regulars on the series.

e. SPOILER REQUEST. NO COMMENT.

f. All our character costumes are art directed by Brandon Vietti and redesigned/reconceived by Phil Bourassa based on the needs/tone/etc. of our series with a mind to what is iconic about any individual character's look. That won't change.

Did the Dick Grayson in your Young Justice Earth-16 Universe skip a grade? At 13, he is definitely on the young side for those starting high school in most US school system.s Because his birthday is in March and not August/September, he wouldn't be one of the kids who start their schooling years almost a year younger than everyone else.

Greg responds...

Don't assume you know when his birthday is.

Otherwise, ASKED AND ANSWERED.

Dear Greg;
Secrets is, beyond any shadow of a doubt, my ABSOLUTE FAVORITE EPISODE of the series!!!! You guys accurately got Harm & Secret down perfectly! Secret was my favorite character of the original series, and you got her so right! And Harm, wow. Very good job, I hope he'll get more screen time in the future. The only thing that makes me sad about Secret's appearance is that the way she was done lends her to being a one-shot character. And I was really hoping to see more of her in the series. I'd ask if she'll show up, but I know the answers I get will be A-Spoiler Request or B-It's a secret.

Back to praise; Loved the interation between Zatanna and Artemis, very nicely done. The store "Abel's House of Secrets"? Awesome nod to Cain & Abel, thank you! Also loved the party and Mal's costume being "Superman. Done right." Oh, and M'Gann turning into Marvin. Now, a question; Was the sword of Beowulf a previously existing idea? Or original to the show? Cause I also liked the twist with the "pure of heart" thing, very reminiscent of the loopholes in Gargoyles magic.

Anyway, keep up the good work. And again, thank you for using my favorite character from the original series!

Greg responds...

I seem to recall the Sword of Beowulf being Peter David's addition. You'd have to ask him if it was from a pre-existing story.

Hello Mr. Weisman,

I have a few questions concerning Batman's vehicles on the show.

a. Are all his vehicles based on military technology?

b. Considering all his vehicles have "Bat-" in their names, is the vehicle he used in "Revelation" a Batwing or some kind of Batjet?

c. Considering it was used in the simulation, does the vehicle he used in space in the episode "Failsafe" actually existed (meaning in the "real" world after Miss Martian was the last one to wake up). What kind of vehicle was that, a Batshuttle spacecraft?

d. Will be seeing Batman's Batmobile in action any time soon? Considering its various appearances on multiple Batman-related shows and movies, what will it look like: a bat-like car or a tank-like miltary car? (I'm rooting for the tank!!)

On a side note, I have a question regarding the appearances of future episodes. Is the show going to be on another break or the will the show continue next week to the very end of the season?

Thanks, and keep up the good work! You're doing fantastic!

Greg responds...

a. I don't know.

b. Something like that.

c. Perhaps.

d. SPOILER REQUEST. NO COMMENT.

The show continues on March 3rd, 2012.

I saw Secrets and might I say it isn't the best, but it satisfies. It was really hard trying to take notice of all the costumes references. I saw the Flaming C costume. 1. Does this establish The Flaming C as a real hero in on Earth-16.
I'm really glad you're keeping Conner and M'Gann's relationship a secret at least to others, but I'm sure by the time you answer this the whole team will know.
2. If Robin and Aqualad know about their relationship does some members of the League know. 2a. Does Martian Manhunter know. If he does what does he think of it.
3. Will the Team's reaction to Sphere's new form be shown like in the show or comic book.
Thanks for your time.

Greg responds...

1. It establishes Conan O'Brien as real on Earth-16.

2. SPOILER REQUEST. NO COMMENT.

2a. SPOILER REQUEST. NO COMMENT.

3. It took place off-camera.

This sounds stupid to be be nitpicky over, but...
1. How is Artemis only a grade above Dick when she's two years older than him? From what I've seen, she's 15 and he's 13. If she's a sophomore, shouldn't he be an 8th grader?

2. How old is Zatanna, exactly?

3. Was Robin's crush on Zatanna in "Humanity" a one time thing?

That aside, I love Young Justice. It's very character-driven.

Greg responds...

1. ASKED AND ANSWERED. It all depends on when their birthdays fall, now, doesn't it?

I enjoy your writing on gargoyles and have just started checking out young justice. I was wondering if you ever planned on writing any thing live action or a independent film? I find the characters on gargoyles to be more interesting than some on movies or certain tv shows I have seen over the years.

Greg responds...

I've tried to break into live action, but have had no success as yet.

I love Young Justice, but why are they drawing it out so much? When will the last episode in season 1 play? Will you develope Artemis and Wally's relationship into an actual dating relationship? When will Artemis's past be discovered? Why did you like take the relationship I thought Wally and Artemis were going to have, and put it in the opposite direction in "Secrets"? Will Artemis become Tigress like in the comics?
Thank you for the show I really enjoy it. I just wish "Secrets" wasn't there. Please do not kill off Artemis!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! She is my favorite person.... She is the reason I watch the show.

Hey Greg,

I have questions about The Light, the main antagonists of season 1 of Young Justice. I have to say that the way you carefully set up their appearances from starting off as shadowy at the end of episode 2 to finally appearing in the flesh at the end of episode 14 was extremely clever. I have to admit that I thought the Injustice League themselves were the real bad guys that had their voices distorted when talking with their associates (like Sportsmaster and the Sensei, for example) and that "The Light" was just a cover name for the Injustice League, until the time was right to reveal themselves. When I saw the real members of The Light, I was surprised (probably just as much as anyone else you saw episode 14) because I thought some of those guys were just allies and not actual members, though I'm sure other fans of the show figured it out more or less.

This brings me to my questions:

a. Will there be a storywise explanation as to what exactly lead to the creation of this super-villain group in the first place?

b. What motivated you to create this unique and original super-villain group? Was it because you wanted to avoid using typical super-villain group names such as Legion of Doom?

c. Why were these people specifically chosen to be members of "The Light," and not anyone else? Were you looking for something specific in each of these members, something that stands out?

d. What exactly is their big plan(or is it more appropriately called their endgame?) and how are all of their activities(such as the attempt to steal the Helmet of Fate and the failed attempt to obtain Starro)thus far connected to this plan?

e. The episode "Infiltrator" suggests they had a hand in inserting a mole into The Team. However, The Team itself believe this to be nothing more than a mind game based on Sportsmaster's tip. Five out of six members of The Team (based on their actions on the field in every episode thus far) appear to be clean. Artemis seems to be the only one who hasn't come clean yet with her secrets, perhaps due to fear she may be hated, perhaps? Even so, her secrets about her family wouldn't prove life-threatening to either the Team or the Justice League, would they? The existence of the mole, in my opinion, is in doubt. Is this mole even real to begin with, and if so, is that person is somehow being unknowingly manipulated by The Light somehow?

f. Depending on what The Light may do (endangering the world, no matter what actions they take), will the lives of both the Team and the Justice League, and even the lives of those closest to them be in any sort of danger?

Thanks for taking the time to read all my questions.

Greg responds...

a. SPOILER REQUEST. NO COMMENT.

b. I suppose. But mostly, it seemed in character.

c. ASKED AND ANSWERED.

d. SPOILER REQUEST. NO COMMENT.

e. SPOILER REQUEST. NO COMMENT.

f. I'd say 'SPOILER REQUEST. NO COMMENT." But you can all but guarantee that our characters will be put in danger.

1.When Martian Manhunter referred to Miss Martian and Conner as "They grow up so fast what was he referring to?
2. Do you know which martial arts Sportmaster know.
3. Did Aqualad kill that Kobra member or did he just paralyze him?
4. I don't know if you've been reading, but I'm sure you've heard of Darksied's makeover, courtesy of Jim Lee, by angry fans in DCnU. I honestly don't mind but Kirby's design is of course legend. Even in past events when artists drew him the they kept Kirby classic. I think Kirby's design was better for him showing his personality dark and uncaring. All Jim did was really give him armor. I like to agree with the negatives. The armor is... to "colorful." unlike other supervillians ,mostly Marvel including Apocalypse, Galactus, and Thanos; Darksied doesn't need armor to be widely feared by all, but I know that with time comes change. Can you please share your opinion on this?
Thanks for answering all of our questions, Greg.

Greg responds...

1. Sending them off for their first day of school, of course.

2. Many.

3. Probably neither, but to be honest, I'm not sure what you're referring to.

4. I haven't seen it, so I have no opinion.

Secrets

I am speechless. This episode was perfect. I loved it, and I say this as a guy who has been wanting to love this series but so far has only been able to just like it a lot. I loved this episode.

Harm was a deliciously creepy villain. Everything about him was chilling. His speech patterns could have easily been corny, but thanks to great writing and terrific voice acting they were very unnerving. I spent most of the episode wondering how Artemis and Zatanna were going to defeat him. Scratch that, not just wondering how they were, wondering IF they were. And as a thirty-year old jaded TV watcher, I hardly ever wonder IF the bad guy is going to be beaten.

The story was very heavy, and the truth about Secret was heartbreaking. I've heard of Secret and Harm before, but I didn't know their story, and I had no idea she was dead, never mind that her brother killed her. Child murder in a cartoon? Okay, there's been plenty of attempted child murder, but the real deal? Harsh. Very harsh.

The B-plot balanced out the dark drama with a lot of humor. While Artemis and Zatanna fought for their lives, Superboy, Miss Martian, and Kid Flash were attending a school Halloween dance and there they warded off... a prank. I would like to say that Marvin the Martian with Godzilla's roar is the single greatest thing a human being could ever have come up with.

Martians invading, eh? Ooh... foreshadowing for season two? And here I thought Darkseid was being set up for season two. Hmm, maybe he is. Maybe he'll be in cahoots with the White Martians. Maybe I am reading too deep into this. It wouldn't be the first time.

The brief C-plot was about Aqualad, Red Arrow, Robin, and Batman discussing who the traitor was. At this point, I have no idea. I'm leaning towards M'Gann. Or maybe it's Aqualad.

If I had one complaint, it was about Artemis taking the news that Superboy and Miss Martian are a couple that hard. She only expressed interest in him on screen once, and that was in her first appearance. Aqualad alluded to it a few episodes back, but I think we needed more. Artemis, aggressive as she is, could have flirted with Superboy more. But that doesn't detract from this perfect episode, because it's not this episode's problem. The episodes that preceded this one should have laid a little more pipe.

BTW, Marvel Zombie... very cute.

A+, Five Stars, Two Thumbs Up, Encore! Encore!

Greg responds...

I take great pride in the notion of using the Godzilla roar with Miss Martian posing as Marvin the Martian to scare Marvin from SuperFriends. That was my idea!
