Greg,

It's really cool of you to take time out to answer questions like these. This is the closest to "DVD commentary" that we can get, which leads to my question:

Would you consider doing a "director's commentary" podcast of an episode or few of Young Justice (your choices of course) that could be posted here as mp3s that we can play along while watching to episode on mute?

Thank you again for your time.

Xum

Greg responds...

I'd be happy to do it, but that's way beyond my technical capabilities.

Hi Greg!
I just have one question.
In "Terrors", did Miss Martian put on the other prison uniform? At the end, though, she shifted fully back into her superhero costume. Can she just shift out of whatever she's wearing, regardless of whether or not it's "Martian" clothing?

Greg responds...

She pulled a fast one, so that it was assumed she changed, but she was still wearing her organic Martian clothing.

Someone asked you about the occurrences of the number 16. I just wanna let you know where you can find a list of them:
http://youngjustice.wikia.com/wiki/16

Question: Failsafe is episode 16. Did this bear any relevance while writing the episode?

Greg responds...

Yes.

Greg, I love Young Justice, it's really wonderful show. So I have a couple questions-

1. I'm not sure if you can say anything on this yet, but how.does Young Justice: Legacy work within conjunction to the show? According to what's been released so far, it features a brand new storyline set between seasons 1 and 2, but yet you said season 1 ends December 31, and Season 2 begins January 1. Does the game take place over a night?

2. What made you guys choose for Zatara to become the new Doctor Fate? Was it make Zatanna more like Robin with the loss of her dad?

Thanks for answering fan questions.

Greg responds...

1. SPOILER REQUEST. NO COMMENT.

2. It felt right, and - in a strange way - true to the comics, especially if you've read the Swamp Thing issues that led to Zatara's death.

2a. No.

Hello Greg,
A couple questions about Emily Osborn's inclusion in the series (don't worry, nothing having to do with un executed plans)

Anyway, when asked about keeping Emily Osborn alive, aside from having plans for her later down the road, you also decided out of the three friends who had single parent households (Peter, Gwen, and Harry) Harry would be the one where it wasn't fundamental to his character compared to the others. One of Harry's biggest traits is his messed up relationship with his father. It was also said that Noman's disdain of Harry came from losing his wife in exchange for Harry. Would you say that in Spectacular Spider-Man that Harry's problems came from his messed up family life in general with Emily being alive? Basically Harry's issues aren't solely on Norman, but Emily as well (whether directly or indirectly).

Also, it's of course a given why Peter has a single parent household, however, when choosing out of the other two when it comes to who HAD to be in a single parent household, what stopped you from letting Gwen's mother still be alive? Does it mainly have to do with the fact that Capt. Stacy was going to live throughout the series run, but Norman was going to 'die'?

Also, would you say that Emily Osborn loves herself an extemely tough steak?

Greg responds...

1. Yes.

2. Gwen being her daddy's girl seemed fundamental to who she was.

3. I'm not getting this reference at the moment. Wasn't she cutting a carrot or something on screen?

In "Metamorphosis", Sevarius and Xanatos were pretending to be at odds after the former had injected Derek/Talon with the mutate serum. As part of the performance, Sevarius asked Xanatos if he had some junk bonds to sell.

Is Xanatos the Michael Milken of the Gargoyles Universe? I know he's a savvy businessman, but also a Wall Street trader?

Greg responds...

I wouldn't label Xanatos as Milken specifically. He certainly wasn't a model for the character.

But Xanatos has his hands in many pies.

First I'd like to say I really like your work on Gargoyles and the Spectacular Spider-Man, and thus far am really enjoying Young Justice. Keep up the great work.
I've recently finished reading Clan-Building for the who-knows-how-many-times-now and was wondering, has anyone who worked on Gargoyles (cast or crew) read it? If so what did they think about it? From the Gathering videos on Youtube it seems Keith David and Thom Adcox have really become fans of the show, so I assume they would like to see more of it. Also, given the fact they've attended many of the Gatherings it seems they're quite fond of the show. Also I would think Frank Paur was sure to check the comics given he co-produced the show with you. Michael Reaves seems also like someone how'd be interested in the comics given how tremendous his contribution to the show was.

I realize not every writer or voice actor of the show would still keep track of it 10 years or so after it was made, but the ones that I mentioned kinda gave me the impression they would be interested to read it.

Thank you for your time, and again keep up the great work.

Greg responds...

Don't know. You'd have to ask them.

I just want to say how much I appreciate how you are using Milestone characters in Young Justice. Even though it was not meant to be this, it still is a great tribute to Dwayne MacDuffie's memory, especially considering how underused the characters are in the comics proper.

And now for actual questions...
1) Out of all the villians in the Light, Queen Bee seems very out of place. In the comics, the Bialian Queen Bee was never given an actual name. So, was Queen Bee added because A) you wanted a dictator supervillain and she fit the bill, B) it was the perfect role for Marina Sirtis, C) you wanted to add an obscure character to the Light, or D) all of the above?
2) Related to the above, will Queen Bee be given an actual name? Not searching for spoilers, it just bothers me that she didn't have a name in the comics.
3) Since Young Justice is TV-PG, you can get away with a lot more stuff than, say, Spongebob. So I'm wondering if there was anything in the scripts that you wanted to add but the higher-ups did not allow. I say this because someone asked earlier about Rocket's son and wondered if Cartoon Network would have allowed a character to be a teen mother. Not looking for spoilers, like I said before, but I just like knowing behind the scenes stuff, although I assume you would like to save revealing this stuff until after the show's finished.

And finally, will Stephanie Brown appear? Oh, wait...that might be a...*puts sunglasses on* Spoiler Request. *YYYYEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH*

Greg responds...

1. None of the above, really. She made the master villain list, and she seemed to be a nice fit with the others. Much as I love Marina, casting didn't play into it at that stage. Her being the dictator of a country, her powers, her being female all played in. I personally don't think of her as being obscure, but that's probably because I was writing comics in the late eighties, when she was prominent.

2. What makes you think her name isn't Bee?

3. We haven't had much in the way of censorship issues on this series.

Hey Greg, just watched Misplaced. Y U DO THIS TO ME? My feelings are exploding right now. But thank you.

1) How do you feel about CN constantly putting your show on hiatus? Does it make you feel angry like your "babies" are being ignored? I mean it's been over a year and the first season isn't even over, granted it will be in a couple weeks, buutttt... Yep.

2) Is Klarion gay? He seems very flamboyant and metrosexual. Or maybe it's just me stereotyping. Love his nails, by the way. And his facial expressions. And everything about him, it's pERFECT.

3) Are any characters gay or bisexual? If so, who?

4) If you could have any superpower, what would it be and why? Or if you can't decide, which superhero would you like to be and why?

5) Does Artemis use any hair products? She has a lot of it so maybe she might need even hairspray or something.

6) Any of the girls use make up? Or even the boys, haha.

7) Will the Flaming C ever be a regular on the show? Wait, before you answer it, is it a SPOILER ALERT?

8) In Bereft, when Wally wakes Artemis up and she yells "Who put me in this?!" in regards to her costume, then Wally says right after, "I'm not touching that with a ten foot..." and then he never finishes the sentence. Why does he say that and what does it mean? I never understood its context or anything.

9) In Misplaced, when Wally tells Artemis that Dr. fate targeted Teekl to defeat Klarion, he didn't have his cast on (this was also a released screenshot before the episode). But later Wally did. It's... very confusing. Not a question, but just pointing this out.

Okay, thanks Greg. ROCK ON!

Greg responds...

1. Well, the hiatus seems to be over, so...

2. He's young. Why label?

3. I'm sure there are, but these are DC characters. It's not for me to say.

4. People keep asking me this recently. I'm not sure why. Once upon a time, I had different desires. Nowadays, I mostly just want a big damn sword.

5. I don't know much about that stuff.

6. Ditto.

7. SPOILER REQUEST. NO COMMENT.

8. I'm really not eager to explain this. Ask a friend.

9. It's what we call an error.

Misplaced was a really good adaption of A World Without Grown-Ups! Really happy Zatanna is on the team,too.

1. Now that Zatara is Doctor Fate, is someone going to replace him on the League?
2. Is this the first time the Justice League has lost a member?
3. Was Amber an original character? I looked up her name on the DC wiki, but couldn't find anything.
4. Was the intro shortened by you or CN?
4A. If it was you, why did you shorten it?
4B. SPeaking of intros, will we get a new one for Invasion?
5. How did you decide who went into Klarion's magic group? Was it like what you did for the Team?

Greg responds...

1. By now you've (hopefully) seen the League discuss just that, but you'll have to wait until this Saturday for the results of their vote.

2. Yes.

3. Amber Joyce is a pre-existing DC character.

4. It was shortened to buy time for the DC Nation shorts.

4A. See above.

4B. Yes, but it'll be just as short.

5. These were all characters who were on our original villain list for potential Light members. Blackbriar Thorn has always been a particular favorite of mine, since I loved the Kubert design.
