Hello Mr Weisman,

In the recent Young Justice episode Misplaced I was just curious as to why Red Tornado was not in both universes/worlds/realms. Since he is not a flesh and blood person like all the other heroes. And all the other objects and appliances seemed to be unaffected by Klarion's spell and inhabit both realms, for example Dr. Fate's helmet. So I guess my question is, why was Red Tornado in the world with all the people over 18 years of age and not in the universe with the individuals under the age of 18?

Greg responds...

Perception.

Quick Question:

Are there any trains or airports in Happy Harbour?

Greg responds...

I'm sure there are trains. I tend to doubt that there's more than a local airfield though.

Hi Greg, first off I want to say thanks to you and the talented team you work with for making YJ such a good show.

I have a couple questions pertaining to Robin that I hope you can answer.
1. As the show progresses and the characters get older, being the youngest on the team, can we expect Robin to go through any noticeable height changes or for his voice to get deeper? I would imagine he's getting hit by puberty a little bit harder than the others right now.
2. In the comics, Dick is known as something of a playboy with the ladies, or at very least a pretty boy. Will the YJ version have anything in common with the comics in that regard as the show goes on?

Thanks for taking the time to read and hopefully answer these.

Greg responds...

1. Guess that would depend on how long we're on the air, wouldn't you think? RIght now, we've only covered less than six months of his life.

2. SPOILER REQUEST. NO COMMENT.

I don't mind Superman avoiding Superboy and get why he feels violated. It's great seeing Superman face something his strength and charm can't deal with. The way it has been shown has resulted in Superman coming across as unfeeling though. Even more so when other members of the League have accepted the boy. If being one sided was to generate debate, then you got what you desired. It has caused a lot of debate and Superman sure gets a lot of heat for it. We get to see Batman's perspective on stuff, might have helped see one little scene with Superman even expressing to someone he feels close to and has to keep no secrets from (I am guessing Wonder Woman or Martian Manhunter would fit that role best)why he can't offer the boy what he needs. Unless there is something else going on ...I get it but wondering if the payoff would be worth it? ie It has dragged on so long it would lose the emotional resonance? The long breaks has not helped, I guess. But many people who are rooting for Superboy want to see that resolved and in a way I almost feel like if I were Conner when Superman comes I would feel so angry I would not want to listen to what he has to say. Does that make sense?

Where has Wonder Woman been in all this? Is she an Ambassador or does she have the secret ID?

Greg responds...

1. If it makes sense to you, who am I to disagree. Otherwise, all I can say is wait and see. This will OBVIOUSLY be addressed in both the television series and the comic book.

2. In all what?

2a. SPOILER REQUEST. NO COMMENT.

Barbara Gordon aka "Babs" questions ( The last question is NOT a YJ question because I want to joke around.)

1. In YJ how long has Barbara lived in Gotham City or was she born in Gotham?

2. In YJ for the record, was Barbara born with blue eyes or was she wearing blue contact lenses and that she was born with green eyes?

3. In YJ, when did Barbara start wearing earrings?

4. Would you say that Barbara Gordon is "the Kim Possible of DC Comics"?, even though Christy Carlson Romano has never voiced her. I'm going to be very very honest with you Greg, if it wasn't for "KP", "Babs" here would never have been one of my most favourite DC heroines in the first place!

Greg responds...

1. Born there.

2. I don't know.

3. I don't know.

4. Uh... I have no response to this.

Hi Greg

I've been looking forward to new episodes for months and loved Misplaced this morning. It's amazing how you make some episodes feel like mini-movies. Fitting both a compact story AND characterization for so many characters on screen is no easy task, but you guys pull it off wonderfully.

I wanted to ask you if were able to fill in the blanks for some characters who did not have credited voice actors?

1x09 - Bereft
- Scientist #1 (moustache and glasses)
- Scientist #2 (beard and glasses)

1x11 - Terrors
- Belle Reve Guard Hart
- Belle Reve Guard Cooper

1x13 - Alpha Male
- Hunter (who hunts with Mayor Hill)

1x17 - Disorder
- Norman
- Norman's Mother

1x18 - Secrets
- Museum Curator

1x19
- Commissioner Gordon (I think it was him who spoke to the adult crowd)
- Amber
These might be too minor to have a credited actor
- Girl on street who lost her mom who was sitting on the stairs
- Man in car who lost his son
- Man who yelled at man above
- Kid who said Artemis sang the wrong song

Thanks again for your help on these and for such an awesome show. Not since Avatar The Last Airbender have I looked forward to a new episode in a series as much as I do for YJ. I also hope the quality in animation never changes. To me, the overall quality (esp. character shadings) was better than the recent Justice League Doom, which used the same designs by Phil Bourassa.

Greg responds...

According to my my notes - which were accurate per the day of the recording, but may not reflect with perfect accuracy the final product - here's what I've got:

109
Scientist #1 - Nolan North
Scientist #2 - Marina Sirtis (Looks like we changed this to a guy.)

111
Guards in the script were NOT identified by name.
Prison Guard #1 was James Remar. (I think his lines got divided up among a number of different guards.)
Prison Matron #1 was Masasa Moyo.

113
Hunter #1 - Nolan North.
Hunter #2 - Bruce Greenwood

117
Thug #1 (Norman) - Nolan North.
Old Woman (Norman's Mother) - Grey Delisle.

118
Museum Curator - Crispin Freeman.

119
Okay, clearly here, you were just impatient and not prepared to wait to see who played Gordon and Amber. Both names appeared in the credits, which were eventually reposted here. So I'm not going to reward your impatience by reposting those answers here.
Kid #1 - Dee Bradley Baker
Kid #2 - Lacey Chabert
Mother - Masasa Moyo
Father - Khary Payton
Driver - Kevin Michael Richardson
The children in the gym aren't identified separately in my notes.

In "Misplaced," Robin initally starts to say Watchtower, but awkwardly changes mid-word, seemingly because Zatanna is present. Was he deliberately keeping it from Zatanna, or am I just seeing things?

Greg responds...

Yes, he was.

Mr. Weisman, after the events depicted in "Misplaced," who's Zatanna's legal guardian? For that matter, although I suppose "John Jones" is the guardian for "Megan Morse," who's the technical legal guardian for "Conner Kent."

Greg responds...

1. I'm thinking Bruce Wayne. But don't hold me to that.

2. John Smith.

Mr. Weisman, in reading some of your answers here, I've gathered that, on Earth-16, Martians call their planet "M'arzz." However, I've long since understood it to be that the Martians call it "Ma'aleca'andra," in an obvious homage to the classic sci-fi novel Out of the Silent Planet by Clive Staples Lewis, were they called it Malacandra (http://www.martianmanhunter.wikia.com/wiki/Ma'aleca'andra). Did you go your own way deliberately, or were you unaware that this had been established (I'll admit that I don't know when).

Greg responds...

I was unaware. Maybe M'arzz is short for Ma'aleca'andra, or it's an alternate name, or one is more current: like Earth = Gaea = Terra.

(All things are true. Few things are accurate.)

Is that Marina? Or a sound effect. I've wondered for a long time now. Either way, I always thought it sounded really cool.

I'm pretty sure it's a sound effect, but it's been a long time, you know?

1) How old is Bane?
2) Since the Blockbuster formula effects the subject's mind, does that mean that Desmond is now less intelligent than he was before? If so to what degree?

Greg responds...

1. Twenty-seven.

2. He's certainly more cloudy. I don't know how to measure this for you though.

Hello, Mr. Greg Weisman,

I am a big fan of Young Justice and I have watched every episode up to the date of this posting. I have enjoyed each episode and I look forward to the rest of them. This is my first time asking questions to you. I deeply apologize if any of my questions accidentally break your guidelines. Please understand that it is not my intention to upset you if that ends up to be the case, because I believe you are a reasonable person.

It is only fair that I tell you that I may ask questions on this posting (and possibly others in the future) about topics/events that have occurred prior to the events of Season One. If I do ask such questions, they would be based on my personal assumptions:

a. I am assuming that Young Justice MAY continue BEYOND Season Two. I’m praying (every night!) that Cartoon Network will allow the renewal for more seasons.
b. I am assuming that information regarding events that took place prior to the show might NOT ever be revealed/discussed within the Earth-16 continuity (on the show or in the comics). This is because you've made it clear that the teenage superheroes are the main focus, and not their mentors.
c. I am assuming that you are probably more comfortable about answering questions about past and present events rather than future events because asking what will happen in the future instantly result in a spoiler request or no comment, and like I said, you’d probably get extremely upset. Also because this is the past we’re talking about, I’m guessing anything is bound to have happened.

My questions are listed below. Starting with this posting, and in future postings, the maximum number of questions I’ll probably give you is five. Hopefully, it will make things easier for you.

1. I’ve read one of your responses to a posting which states that the founding members of the Justice League did meet individually prior to 2003, the year in which they all came together. So, since you’ve proven that this fact is true, is it possible you can tell specifically which members met, when (Month/Day/Year)it happened, and what was the circumstances involved that caused them to meet? Given there are only seven founding members, I personally doubt there were many individual encounters prior to the big team-up.

2. Aside from the fact that the Justice League came together to fight a common foe in 2003 and the fact that Joker discovered the original secret sanctuary of the Justice League in 2006, is there any other major events that took place before the series that we, the fans of the show, need to be aware of? After all, a lot most likely happened in the span of just seven years before the events of the Season One, agreed?

3. You’ve confirmed that Green Arrow had lost his fortune under unknown circumstances. So, since this is obviously a serious issue for Oliver, what happened to his company, Queen Industries, as a result? Also, has he been spending any time fighting to try getting his fortune back?

4. Your responses to other people’s postings confirm that Wonder Woman is 85 years old, Vandal Savage is around 50,000 years old, and Ra’s al Ghul is around 600-700 years old. I pretty much understand what the circumstances behind why their ages are as they were described to be, but it does bring up an interesting question: If you could identify the ages of these three characters based ONLY by their physical appearances, how old would they be? For example, would Wonder Woman’s physical appearance make her appear as though she was a woman in her late 20s or early 30s? I hope to hear your response to this particular question because I’m quite interested.

5. You are probably most likely aware there are a number of different interpretations of how Krypton was destroyed. I myself know at least three of them: the one in the movies, the one in Superman: The Animated Series, and the one in CW's Smallville. Out of sheer curiosity, what is your team’s interpretation of Krypton’s destruction in the Earth-16 universe (assuming it’s an original interpretation and not one that draws inspiration from other interpretations of the Superman mythology)? I am interested to know as to what exactly happened, please understand that.

Thank you for taking the time to read my first set of questions. I apologize if my first posting seems longer that it should be. If for any reason I have UNINTENTIONALLY broken you guidelines, I am TRULY sorry, and you have my word that I will try to be more careful in the future. Anyway, keep up the good work! I will keep praying to God that, somehow, Cartoon Network will allow the renewal of more seasons for the show.

Greg responds...

1. I haven't tracked this with the kind of specificity you're asking for.

2. I'm sure a lot happened. If it's major, it's a SPOILER REQUEST. If it's not, I haven't tracked it.

3. I'm not confirming or denying the name of his company or what happened to it. I will say - again - that Ollie has decided that he's legitimately happier without his fortune. Whether he's kidding himself is another story.

4. I'm not sure why you can't observe this on the show and decide for yourself.

5. I'm not familiar with Smallville's version, and it's been SO long since I saw the animated version, I don't pretend to remember that one clearly either. I'd certainly borrow elements from the Superman movie, but I'm an old school guy, and would probably be heavily influenced by the pre-Crisis on Infinite Earths comics I read as a kid.

Must See Episode of Young Justice

So, I know I'm biased, but this Saturday's penultimate episode of YOUNG JUSTICE's first season really is a MUST SEE for the series: "Usual Suspects" brings all sorts of plotlines to a head, with large measures of action, humor and even romance. If you like the show at all, you'll want to see this one. (And if you haven't seen it in English, you'll want to watch it in its native tongue.) As per usual, it's airing as part of DC NATION on Cartoon Network on Saturday with a rerun Sunday. Check local listings.

This coming Saturday, April 7th on Cartoon Network's DC NATION is episode 124 of YOUNG JUSTICE: 'Performance.' It's focus is on Robin, his origins and one of his oldest friends.

I have a Young Justice question:
It seems like everyone got a centric episode except Robin. Kaldur got 'Downtime', Wally got 'Denial', Artemis got 'Homefront' and Conner and M'gann got 'Terrors', 'Disordered', 'Welcome to Happy Harbor'. Robin might have featured more in 'Homefront' and a few others, but none of them are Robin-centric. Is this intentional? Was it done for creative reasons? Is it because everyone knows Dick/Robin from previous shows?
