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?

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?

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.

If Miss Martian is 48 years old (biologically) and she's dating Superboy, is she a pedophile?

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.

Another question about "Disordered". What were the Forever People saying before they started speaking English?

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!!

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.

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.

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...

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?
