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.

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.

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.

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.

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?

Greg responds...

Very little.

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.

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.
