1)I love the missions they have as a team but to be honest my favorite parts are of them during their free time(And when they're in their civilian clothes). Is there going to be an episode entirely focused on them as civilians in a town or city?
2)I assume Artemis lives in a run down part of Gotham. Am I correct?
Greg responds...
1. SPOILER REQUEST. NO COMMENT.
2. Yes. For more on this, see our companion YJ comics.

Will the DC reboot effect YJ in any way?
Greg responds...
No. We were well underway before the reboot was announced. For us, it was too late to change anything.
Um writes...
1. How aware is the general public of the individual members of the team, besides the original four (Robin, Kid Flash, Aqualad, Speedy)?
2. Is Captain Marvel supposed to be a secret-even-to-him member of the team?
Greg responds...
1. Not at all aware, except for the specific individuals who may have spotted them in action.
2. I don't understand the question, I'm afraid.
... writes...
1) How close are Green Arrow and Artemis? Because in Homefront, when everyone is waking up from Red Tornado's attack, Superman is waking Artemis up and Green Arrow's off to the side somewhere. Is she even really his sidekick, or is she just given the costume by the JLA so she can be on the team?
2) Is nobody at all concerned that this team of relatively untrained teenagers is being put on missions the JLA can't handle?
Greg responds...
1. Basically, I'm going to tell you to stay tuned and/or check out our companion comic books for the answer to this.
2. No one said the League couldn't "handle" these missions. What's been said is that the League is very high profile, and for them to gather covert intelligence can sometimes be difficult due to their celebrity.
Todd Jensen writes...
Recently, somebody asked you if you were familiar with C. S. Lewis' work, and you said "No", apart from seeing a couple of adaptations of "The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe". I thought that you might like to know that Lewis and Roger Lancelyn Green were friends, and that it's thanks to Green that "The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe" was finished and published.
When Lewis was writing "Lion", he read some of it to J. R. R. Tolkien; Tolkien had done the same to him with "The Lord of the Rings" when he was writing it, and Lewis wanted to return the favor. Tolkien thought that "Lion" was dreadful, however, and made that clear. Lewis was so saddened by Tolkien's critique that he considered abandoning the story, but first read it to Roger Lancelyn Green. Green told him, "No, this is a great story, you mustn't drop it," and his words encouraged Lewis to complete the story and get it published.
Green also included a tribute to Lewis in his King Arthur book. One of Lewis's fantasy novels for adults, "That Hideous Strength" had Merlin awakening in the modern world to help the main characters defeat an Illuminati-type organization; Lewis had Merlin sleeping beneath a forest called Bragdon Wood. In Green's "King Arthur and his Knights of the Round Table", one of the places where Merlin is said to be sleeping is "beneath the Wood of Bragdon". Since you especially liked Green's book on King Arthur (and even drew on it for Blanchefleur, and Percival's parentage), I thought you might enjoy hearing about that (and I hope the Wood of Bragdon wasn't on your list of places for King Arthur and Griff to visit during their search for Merlin, since it was Lewis' invention!).
Greg responds...
I did not know about the Green/Lewis connection. I did know about Tolkien/Lewis, but this is great additional info. Thanks.

1) How close were Robin and Speedy, pre-pilot? I don't know how likely it is that they had the same kind of relationship they did in the comics, seeing the age difference.
2) Why is Wonder Girl such a hard character to get onto any show, legally?
Greg responds...
1. I tend to agree.
2. I don't know. But she's no longer off-limits, so it's moot.
Maki P writes...
DC HERO asked if you could include the Music Meister in YJ and your answer was " It's been done". Does that mean we will be seeing him in the future? And will it be this season?
Greg responds...
When I said, "It's been done," I was referring to Batman: The Brave and the Bold.
As for our series: SPOILER REQUEST. NO COMMENT.

How much does the public in the Young Justice universe know about Atlantis and the Martian civilization?

Hi Greg, just a few comments/question I wanted to share
First of all I'd like to say just how much I've been enjoying young justice, it's well planned out and I can't wait to see how the show will play out.
Second; I know you answered the languages all of the six main characters can speak, but what about Zatanna, red arrow, batman, red tornado and black canary?
And also, I know next week episode 18 is to air, but the next two weeks are not airing. Will the new episodes be up the following week or is that TBD?
Thanks for your time :)
Greg responds...
First, thanks.
Second... I won't pretend I've thought all this out. Some of it seems pretty obvious though:
Zatanna - English, Italian, high school French...
Batman - I imagine he's very much multi-lingual.
Red Tornado - I would assume he's programmed with a ton of languages.
As for Red Arrow and Black Canary, I'd have to give it some thought.
And episode 19 premieres March 3rd, 2012 on Cartoon Network.
Kevin writes...
Do you get frustrated with some questions being asked over and over again. I asked a question about the speed force that you just answered but at the time when I wrote it there was no archived answer. Thank you for your time and making a great show!
Greg responds...
There may not have been an archived answer, but I've asked over and over again that people check the UNANSWERED QUESTION QUEUE before posting the EXACT SAME QUESTION again. If your answer's coming, why ask again?
So, yes, I do get frustrated. I assume EVERYONE is getting frustrated by the constant refrain of "ASKED AND ANSWERED" and "SPOILER REQUEST. NO COMMENT." answers that I give, but it's because folks (including you frankly) aren't following the very simple and reasonable guidelines we've set for the ASK GREG site.
And even THIS question, by the way, has been asked over and over again.
All of which simply bogs down the queue, which is why I keep having to close it off to catch up.
Total Miss Martian Fan! writes...
Greg, It's me again! I love young justice but confused on Disordered.
1. Miss Martian is clearly a white martian if she is can she at least be a good looking white martian? I mean seriously I have seen the white martians and I am not fond of them.
2. When Superboy said he was "at peace" does that just means he wants to live up to Superman's expectations but can't so he was happy?
3. Honestly I love that you put Superboy and Miss M together because they were so perfect so now Artemis is out of the way and she clearly likes Wally
4. Does Cheshire still love Artemis since that is her sister?
Greg responds...
1. SPOILER REQUEST. NO COMMENT.
2. No. It meant that for a brief period, he felt he was taking on the role of Superman, and that made him happy. (More or less.)
3. No actual question here...
4. SPOILER REQUEST. NO COMMENT.
LupusLover writes...
Sorry if some of these might have been asked but...
1)Red Tornado was seen in both 'Failsafe' and 'Disordered' but in 'Humanity' he said he would stay to care for T.O. Morrow. Why is he back at the cave?
2)Will the viewers get a little inside look on all the Justice League members lives/past?
3)In 'Disordered' Black Canary said her first Canary Cry was in the first grade. Did you make that part up or was it mentioned in another show or comic?
Greg responds...
1. He never said he would "stay" to care for Morrow. He said he would care for him. And what he meant was that he'd see that Morrow received good care.
2. Here and there.
3. I think we made it up for our version of Canary, but it's very possible I once read that somewhere, and it just stuck in my head.
Mike writes...
So, I just watched the episode Disordered. Why is it that Dick came to the realization he came to in the episode 5 years earlier than in the comics? I believe he was 18 when he left Batman and became Nightwing, and it was around that time he finally realized that he didn't have to be exactly like Batman. I just think that because of the brevity of the time (two episodes -- really 3 scenes) it lessened the impact that realization could've been made into.
Greg responds...
I think we're talking apples and oranges. Of course, we're not in continuity at all with the comics, so that's neither here nor there. We're just trying to be true to OUR version of the character. He's not leaving Batman or becoming Nightwing here. He's just had a painful epiphany, which seemed very appropriate to us given the circumstances. If you think that epiphany came to soon, well, you're absolutely entitled to that opinion. But obviously we disagree over here. C'est la vie.
Moon writes...
If Miss Martian is 48 years old (biologically) and she's dating Superboy, is she a pedophile?
Greg responds...
She's a biological adolescent, just like he is.
Jack-Pumpkinhead writes...
Dear Greg,
Just caught the new YJ Episode, and I must commend you and Brandon. You successfully made the Forever People cool. I mean, personally, they were always kind of a silly concept, but I like how you did them. Also like Desaad, also well done. And forgive me some gloating but I CALLED IT. Sphere was the Super-Cycle! Also, loved the confessions about last weeks episode, very cool. Robin's and M'Gann's intrigue me the most truthfully, very interested to see where those lead. Please keep it up, and I can't wait for next week's episode.
Greg responds...
Thanks! By now, hopefully, you saw "next week's episode" and in just a few more weeks, the "week after's episode" will premiere.
Eagle-Owl writes...
Another question about "Disordered". What were the Forever People saying before they started speaking English?
Greg responds...
BEAR: Hero Danjar! [We have arrived on Earth!]
SERIFAN: Zon! Nos kemnos! Danjar tharan, thanka, tabore… [Yes! Just as I imagined it! Earth’s beautiful, flora and fauna…] But when can we see some ‘Cowboys’?!

Hi, I love the Young Justice series and just had a few questions.
1. If Cheshire is Artemis' sister, why is her last name Nguyen and not Crock?
2. Do the characters who were named after pre-existing characters (e.g. Bette Kane, Mal Duncan, Barbara Gordon etc...) have the same origins/powers as their original counterparts?
3. Are Artemis' parents still together?
Thanks a ton!!
Greg responds...
1. She took her mother's maiden name, because she has issues with her father.
2. Assumes facts not in evidence.
3. Nope.

Todd Jensen writes...
I haven't seen "Young Justice" before today, since I don't have cable, but I discovered that my local library has a copy of the first four episodes on DVD, and so checked it out.
I thought that the series was well-animated, and liked those place/time captions at the bottom. (They reminded me of "The X-Files".) I was also pleased to note that, even though I'm not a DC Comics expert (the only member of the team I knew anything about outside the context of the cartoon was Robin), I was able to understand what was going on in spite of that, and who the characters were.
I also liked the way you distinguished Aqualad from his two initial teammates, Robin and Kid Flash, by having Robin and Kid Flash talk in an everyday style, while Aqualad has a more dignified speech pattern. (Kind of like the difference between the trio's speech patterns and Goliath's.)
A few thoughts on specific episodes.
INDEPENDENCE DAY/FIREWORKS: The opening amused me. Four different super-hero-and-protege pairs, with different styles and atmospheres, and they're all fighting cold-themed super-villains! (I'm glad that Batman said they should look into why four cold-themed super-villains were all on the loose on the same day, though I don't know if that question's been answered yet in the series.)
I also got a kick out of the Hall of Justice scene, where somebody thinks that Speedy is Kid Flash's name (no wonder Speedy changes his name to Red Arrow!), followed by the Justice League telling the proteges that most people don't get to see this much of the Hall of Justice - and then we see the tourists looking in through the window!
Those creatures roaming about Cadmus Labs were positively creepy, especially the imp-like ones that perched on people's shoulders and mind-controlled them. Though it was a big surprise when they turned out to be a lot more friendly than they looked, and just wanted their freedom.
WELCOME TO HAPPY HARBOR: Kid Flash's comment on Miss Martian shape-shifting into his form was great.
I suspected that Superboy felt so uneasy about Miss Martian using telepathy on him because of his background, even before the characters said that.
I remember your comment about how you often felt unsettled when those fights in "Gargoyles" destroyed historical artifacts; I got that feeling myself when the team's fight with Twister demolished what looked like a historic old house.
The revelation that: a) Twister had a human pilot inside, and b) the "human pilot" was really a robot, definitely startled me. Two of the biggest surprises in those four episodes. (Almost like "The Edge" and "Leader of the Pack" merged.)
DROP ZONE: Aqualad telling off Robin for acting as if he was still working with Batman, who knows Robin's methods and vice versa, when the rest of the team don't have that kind of understanding of him, was great. (No wonder he winds up team leader - though I laughed when Robin said that Aqualad's the best pick for that job - and thus the best pick for explaining to Batman why the mission wound up far less covert than it was supposed to be!) Got a smile, also, out of Batman's talk to the team at the end, going from reprimanding them for their mistakes to congratulating them.
The Light make a great "big bad" for the series, all the more so because of their title. The word "light" so often has positive connotations that it's creepy to see it used for the main antagonists.
A great start. I hope that the library gets more episodes on DVD soon.
Greg responds...
Me too!!

Jess writes...
Hey I'm relatively new to reading American comics. I really enjoyed your work on Spectacular Spider-man, been a long time fan of the DC animated Universe so I was happy to see you'd be working on Young Justice. So far it's been a pleasure. I especially enjoyed Failsafe. I noticed the trend of the number 16 (16 member Justice League, 16 week old Superboy, 16 earth years is M'gann's age and so on) was that to hint at this episode or will this trend continue? Either way, well done. I didn't actually like Superboy and M'gann together at first but their relationship is blossoming beautifully now they are together, I suppose it was mostly Superboy's anger but it's nice to see him them happy and treated as equals. I think they are a wonderful message for kids in how to treat each other as equals in a relationship. I hope the revelation of M'gann's true powers don't cause too much trouble for them. Though I doubt it. Her catchphrase is adorable, happy to see Wally adopt it. I was surprised that Wally and Artemis didn't share a moment at the end of the episode until I realised it would probably ruin the tension and emotion of the revelation a the end of the episode.
Sorry this sort of turned into a Young Justice Appreciation post instead of a question.
Greg responds...
That's okay. We here on the staff of ASK GREG appreciate appreciation.
As for your query about the number 16, it goes deeper than that, since the whole series is set on Earth-16.

What I don't get is that if Oberan commanded them (his children) to not interfere in human affairs why are so many of them interested in carving out their own little dominion across Earth? That just never really clicked in my head...

The "don't interfere" doctrine came LONG after they carved out their dominions, as you put it. It's relatively recent. (Just over a thousand years ago.)
Zachary Bishop writes...
In "Failsafe" some of the Leaguers were shown with face masks in space, was that so they could still talk to each other, or was it because those heroes (Superman, Captain Atom, Captain Marvel and Martian Manhunter) can't breathe in space?

Both.

Michael J. Eilen writes...
Hey greg, my name is Michael. I was a huge fan of your spectacular spiderman series. And I'm not sure if you're gonna know the answer to my question or not, but I'm just gonna shoot for it. Question: Do you have any idea why Marvel canceled it? I mean, both season 1 and 2 had decent reviews and many fans liked it. So, I gotta ask,Do you have any idea why Marvel made that decision.
Greg responds...
Marvel DIDN'T cancel it.
It's all very complicated, and we were certainly the recipients of bad corporate luck, but no single company cancelled the series. We just wound up with a situation where no single company could proceed with it.
I'll try to break it all down:
1. Sony had originally produced SpecSpidey as part of their overall entertainment license of the Spidey property (which of course included the extremely lucrative live action films).
2. But in order to win some concession on those live action feature films, Sony returned the animation rights to the character back to Marvel.
3. So now only Marvel could produce a Spider-Man cartoon. Sony no longer could, which meant SpecSpidey couldn't continue at Sony.
4. I have no idea whether Marvel was interested in continuing Spectacular Spider-Man or not. But let's assume for the sake of argument that they would have liked to.
5. They couldn't.
6. Why? Because Sony owned all the specific elements (designs, storyline, etc.) to the SpecSpidey VERSION of Spider-Man. So Marvel would have had to license all that BACK from Sony.
7. You can imagine how unlikely THAT scenario was. Marvel finally gets the rights back to do an animated version of their marquee character, and then they have to pay Sony to do it instead of just starting from scratch. That was never going to happen.
8. Of course, all this was complicated by the fact that Disney purchased Marvel, and Disney and Sony are direct competitors.
9. And I'm sure Marvel was excited to put their own stamp on an animated Spider-Man. Who could blame them?
10. So that was it. We were toast through no fault of our own. The folks at Marvel, Sony and even Disney all seemed to like our show, but the corporate mess made it impossible for us to continue.
11. And, yes, it is a bummer. (For me, at least.) But it's no single person or single company's fault. It's just how things shook out.
12. And finally, though I have no involvement with the upcoming Ultimate Spider-Man, you can't deny that a lot of great people have worked on it. There's no reason to think it won't be as good or better than SpecSpidey. To a certain generation, SpecSpidey will always be THEIR Spider-Man cartoon. But to a new batch o' viewers, I'm sure their Spidey of choice will be the Ultimate.

I love Young Justice, it is my favourite cartoon show and one of my favourite tv shows since Spectacular Spiderman was canceled. I have a couple of questions regarding if u have access to certain characters.
1 Do you have access to use Swamp thing?
2 Do you have access to use Timothy Hunter?
3 Do you have access to use Dream, Death, and the rest of the endless?
4 Do you have access to use Lucifer?
5 Do you have access to use Animal Man?
Thanks for answering the questions.
Greg responds...
I'm afraid I'm not willing to answer any of this. It isn't politic for me to get into these issues with the fans. And if I answer for some characters, then by implication the ones I don't answer for are de facto "answered".
So generally, I'll say what I've stated before. When we started development on the series, there were less than ten characters that we expressed an INTEREST in using that we were told were off-limits. Since then, some of those are NO LONGER off-limits. And the ones that still are can be counted on one hand.
But ALL OF THIS only applies to characters we ASKED about. I have no idea whether characters we DIDN'T ask about are off-limits or not.
(I wasn't about to annoy everyone by making them check every single character in the DCU legally to find out whether or not they were off limits if we had no intention of using them ever.)
But rest assured, we were ALWAYS designed to be a series that explored the depth and breadth of the DC Universe. You won't have a shortage of characters. That, I guarantee.
Ice writes...
Well, first, sorry for a typo in a question I recently sent you about Castle Wyvern. I meant haunted, not hunted.
Also, I want to mention the Young Justice episode "Failsafe". I actually missed the episode the week before, so at first I was really confused. I thought at first maybe an alien invasion started in that episode out of nowhere and this was part two. After Batman died, it was hard to take it seriously, as in, I knew at that point that I was wrong and that this episode was going to end up being similar to "Future Tense". There were a few points for a second I actually questioned it though. Such as when Martian Manhunter came in, I easily bought the whole idea that the beams were just teleporting people. Again, I feel this might be just a result of missing the previous episode, assuming I just missed something big (Such as when I unfortunately missed the episode where apparently Red Tornado was forced into betraying the team by his programming, I don't know much about what happened there, only info I have on that is from what the characters said in following episodes.) I'm not for certain when I came back to the idea that the episode was going to have a "Future Tense" sort of ending, I think it probably was the point when Manhunter said he was wrong about the beams, since, if the beams really did kill the people they hit, obviously Manhunter would've been dead. It was a pretty good episode though as always.
I suppose the only question I really have is if comparisons(I was reading through unanswered questions earlier and I saw another person making the comparison) between "Failsafe" and "Future Tense" bug you? Or just comparisons between Gargoyles and any other work you've done since. (As in "Oh, that character is just like *whoever* from Gargoyles" or "Oh, this is just like that one episode of Gargoyles" I suppose.)
Greg responds...
I take all that with a grain of salt.
Obviously, when I was working on Failsafe, I was aware of what we had done back in the day on Future Tense. But the truth is that Brandon came up with the springboard for Failsafe, and he and I worked together with writer Nicole Dubuc to just make this episode the best IT could be.
After that, I realize some comparisons are inevitable, but ultimately the episode either stands on its own or it doesn't. I think it does. Others might disagree. That's what makes it a horse race, as they say.
Jason R. Carter writes...
1. What is Earth-16 Clark Kent like to the outside world? Judging by how relatively disheveled he looked in "Schooled", he seems the clumsy nerd from the Donner movies.
2. Besides you voicing Snapper Carr and Nicole Dubuc voicing Iris West-Allen, will any of the other writers be voicing characters on Young Justice?
3. If Earth-16 Ma and Pa Kent were really Jor-El and Lara, what stopped them from using their powers like Superman does?
Greg responds...
1. He seemed quite sheveled to me. I don't know why you even say that. He had a hat for heaven's sake.
2. No. Nicole and I are both in SAG. The rest of the writing staff is not. (Least not as far as I know.)

How old is Captain Atom? and what kind of powers does he have in this show?
Greg responds...
Captain Atom is 70 years old (though he doesn't look a day over 28).
Cap is connected to the quantum field via his silver skin, which allows him to access clean (NOT RADIOACTIVE) energy and fire off bolts of energy. That same energy can also be used to power his flight and even to enhance his strength. His skin also makes him largely invulnerable. And he can even survive in deep space without a pressure suit of any kind, as long as he has oxygen. (He still needs to breathe.)
Cap can also ABSORB energy and redirect it back to the quantum field. But there's a limit as to how much energy he can absorb and how quickly.
