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?

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."

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.)

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.

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?

Just a quick question:

1.) Are you aware that Turkey has quite possibly rendered any SPOILER REQUEST. NO COMMENTS. you've ever sent?

An Ask Greg Helper responds...

Greg Weisman says:

"Hello,

I've given the ASK GREG moderators permission to DELETE any question that refers to or spoils episodes of Young Justice that have NOT YET AIRED in the United States.

Personally, I think it's bad enough folks are spoiling things FOR THEMSELVES, when they will soon be able to see the episodes in English and at a decent quality within a matter of a few short weeks. (And the blame-Cartoon-Network excuse holds ZERO water for me, as these people are still CHOOSING to view episodes ahead of schedule. No one is holding a gun to their heads.) But the fact that they are spoiling things for folks who are trying NOT to get spoiled is just outrageously obnoxious.

I'd like the ASK GREG queue to be a safe place. I NEED people to be able to read the queue to see if someone ahead of them has already asked the question they're intending to ask. In fact, I've pretty much DEMANDED that people check the queue before asking a question, so forcing them to check something that will spoil their enjoyment of the series is flat out unfair.

Thus the deletions.

And this is all beside the fact that asking a question HERE at ASK GREG to get an explanation of something in an episode that wasn't understood because it was not in English is, well, IDIOTIC. At the length of the current queue, it'll be months before I get to these questions, and the episodes will air here in the U.S. in a matter of weeks. So by the time I get to these questions, the answers will no longer be required - so all that is really being accomplished is that folks have found yet another way to bog down the queue. In fact, this practice is SO idiotic, I'm having trouble believing the questions are being asked with any sincerity. It seems more like a demonstration of power. Trolling, pure and simple.

Either way - whether this is due to naivete or trolling - please just STOP. Please."

So, in Misplaced, Klarion was put into the children's Earth while the other mages were in the adults' Earth, but you said that Klarion is older than the Earth itself (or something like that), so why was Klarion considered "under 18?" Is it because he may be ageless but his body is still a child's or is it because he's Klarion and he does whatever he wants?

Both, plus maybe he's still a child by Lord of Chaos standards.

Back when I reviewed "Revelation" in October, I said: "I hope the next time someone puts that helmet on, taking it off does not come so easily." Yeah, I think it's safe to say I'm a sadistic monster and that I got what I wanted. More on that in a bit.

Upon reading the summary for "Misplaced," I will admit that I rolled my eyes a little at the set-up. All adults disappearing, in a world with only kids. I've seen it before, and it's almost always played in a very goofy manner. It's a cliche that I've found very tiring. But as the episode began, and the adults disappeared, I said to myself "wow, this is pretty dark" and frankly, I should have expected that from a series that is pretty dark in general. I was actually digging it. A cliche that I hate, and I was digging it. And that was before Act Two started and we found out the adults weren't actually gone. By the time the third act got going, and Captain Marvel was warping between dimensions to keep both the Team and the Leaguers up to speed on what the other side was doing, I was loving it.

I thought this episode was Captain Marvel's best showing to date. Now, I've never read a comic with Captain Marvel before in my life. I'm aware of the set-up, who he is, but he's another concept I always found corny. In this episode, well, he was really the key to cracking it open. The rather silly concept (okay, all superheroes are silly concepts when we get down to it) was played straight, and so honest that I forgot how corny I've always found the character.

But the real meat of the episode was Zatanna, whom I've enjoyed since she first appeared on this show. I will admit, I saw the tragedy coming pretty early in the episode. I just knew Zatara was going to end up as the new vessel of Nabu. What I didn't see coming was that Zatanna would put on the helmet of Fate first. So, instead of Zatara sacrificing himself to save the world from Klarion, he sacrifices himself to save his daughter. While both are heroic, the latter is just much more moving, and personal. Zatanna did take the helmet off, and it did not come easy. I've been clamoring for Zatanna to join the team since she first appeared, and like with the Helmet, I got what I wanted. Albeit through tragic circumstances. But, as established earlier, I am a sadistic monster.

I saw the Light's Xanatos Gambit coming a mile away, but I did enjoy it. And now we get another piece of the puzzle. So, Riddler is an agent of the Light, eh? Cool. And I always love me some evil Thom Adcox.

Overall, a solid episode for the series to return on. Thus far, "Young Justice" has been a series I like a lot, but not one that I love... which, in spite of my liking it a lot, made it a tad disappointing to me. I love "Gargoyles," I loved "Spectacular Spider-Man," I even loved "W.I.T.C.H." once I allowed myself to get past the fairy wings on the teenage girls and actually watch it. Is my being disappointed for just liking it a lot unfair? Yes... but I guess I hold Greg Weisman's shows to much higher standards, the same way I hold Martin Scorsese, or David Lynch, Quentin Tarantino, or the Coen Brothers to higher standards than I hold, let's say Joe Johnston. But the past few episodes, particularly "Secrets" and "Humanity" have just knocked it out of the park. And with a welcome return, and things looking to climax over the next seven episodes, I might end up loving "Young Justice" after all.

Greg responds...

One can hope...

Hello, Mr. Weisman. Long time viewer, first time question-asker. First, I just want to say "thank you" for all the quality entertainment you and everyone who works with you have produced over the years.
1) Ra's al Ghul knows Batman's secret identity; has he shared this information with his allies in The Light?
2) What does Superboy consider his real name to be? I ask because he started to introduce himself to the Forever People as "Conner" before switching to "Superboy", and to the best of my knowledge, he's never introduced himself to anyone as "Conner", instead having others do it for him.
3) Was Hugo Strange the Deputy Warden of Belle Reve, in addition to being the resident psychiatrist?
3a) How old is Hugo Strange?
3b) How long has he worked at Belle Reve?
3c) Was Strange already working for the Light when he started working at Belle Reve, or was he recruited afterwards?
4) Does Vandal Savage have any children who were born in the past 40 years or so?
5) Are the New Gods genuine gods, or just very advanced, powerful aliens?
5a) Why is Desaad's master (presumably Darkseid, but I'm assuming nothing at this point) referred to as "Unspeakable"?
6) How old is Lord Kobra?
7) Do any members of the Team have a particular favourite movie? If so, would they be real-life movies, or fictional ones?
8) Why are Robin, Kid Flash, Artemis, and Zatanna allowed to drive motorcycles? None of them are old enough to have a driver's license.

1. SPOILER REQUEST. NO COMMENT.

2. He's adjusting to Conner.

3. No.

3c. He was already who he is. I'm not going to get into the specifics.

4. SPOILER REQUEST. NO COMMENT.

5. Depends on your belief system, I guess.

5a. Well, mostly because it amused Desaad to refer to him that way.

6. Thirty-seven.

7. I'm just not gonna do this one. Sorry.

8. Laws differ by state.

1)Does the team call themselves Young Justice? If not, are they thinking about a name?
2)Is every youngester with potencial offered the opportunity to join the team? What's the criteria?

Glad the show is back!!

Greg responds...

1. ASKED AND ANSWERED.

2. They must exist in our universe for starters. Right now, we've pretty much got all the teen heroes that exist on the Team. The only current exception is Rocket... but stay tuned this Saturday to see what happens with her.

This is...going to be an odd post.

Six years ago, I was a lonely and bored kid surfing the Internet for pretty pictures of one of my favorite shows, WITCH. I stumbled upon my first fanfiction. I was eleven and hooked. I've managed to bond with many people because of that discovery and self-published some of my writing.

Fast forward to December 2010. I heard of this fantastic new show, Young Justice, and unfortunately missed the premiere due to my DVR not working. I decided to surf the Web and stumbled upon an anonymous writing meme for Young Justice. It's still the most interactive, fun place I've been online, and it got me out of a slump I'd fallen into with my writing. In fact, the Young Justice fandom is the most active and interactive fandom I've ever been in.

I have Asperger's Syndrome- I find it difficult to connect with people at all. So...thank you. Thank you for making such great shows that people love so much that we can all connect to. It's really made my life so much better.

Greg responds...

You know, I really don't think I know the definition of "meme".

Otherwise, you're very welcome!!

One of Tombstone's first lines of dialogue was "In my life I've been known by many names, my favorite is Tombstone." So... would his least favorite be "Lonnie?" ;)

In all seriousness, I have to agree that Lonnie is a pretty undignified first name for a character of the stature that you reinvented Tombstone into. But I did enjoy that his middle name was "Thompson" making one of Spidey's biggest enemies and Peter's nemesis at school both Thompsons.

Greg responds...

Well, it's my least favorite, anyway.

Not a question, but a comment. I was watching "Temptation" again, and when Demona first approaches Brooklyn she has this line "wasn't this like old times, fighting together side by side, comrades in arms..." and I have to say, kudos. Thanks to "Tyrants" and "The Gate" there so many more layers upon layers to that line especially. I could be wrong, but I never got the impression that they knew each other all that well prior to the massacre, so I used to wonder if the reference was generic or if she was just trying to make an appeal. Now, well... now the context of the line has changed, and for the better.

I don't know if the idea for their team up against Constantine existed in your head way back when "Temptation" was written, but I love moments of creative serendipity.

Greg responds...

It didn't way back when, but I ALSO think they fought side-by-side in the past from Brooklyn's POV. Keep in mind there's YEARS of adventures in GARGOYLES: DARK AGES.

So, what exactly did you look for in choosing the characters in the show. According to Wikipedia,

'The six main characters were chosen by the producers, from a list of 50 to 60 DC Comics teenaged superheroes, as potential candidates'

I know that Robin was probably required by law to be used, but were there any young heroes in particular you wanted to use but were cut out?

Okay, now for the Geek questions, and hopefully they are new

1; I've seen Rocket in the commercials, and you answered a similar question with the Joker so you can't back out....who is Rocket's voice actor?
2; What State is Dakota located in
3; Ditto with Fawcett City
4; Does the martian manhunter retain his choco addiction?
5; Is Wildcat still active as a hero?
6; Why did you choose to create a 16 member strong Justice League, as opposed to a larger (See JLU) or smaller one (See Justice League Doom)
Seven; Is Amanda Waller the herophobic person she was in Justice League or is she too minor a character to think about
8; Okay, so Amazo was disassembled and sent to Star Labs, which was attacked by the Fog the next episode. Did you forget that detail or is it a spoiler.
9; Now that Doctor Fate is in Zatara's body...is he still in the Justice League?
10; Why are there two Green Lanterns? I've noticed that John Stewart is given more a role than Hal, appearing in Alpha male and talking in Failsafe.
11; Did Cadmus manage to get Robin's DNA in Fireworks? Or for that matter, Kid Flash's or Aqualad's?
12; Finally, that scene with the six original main characters facing down their mentors, plus Wonder Woman, at the hall...when will we see that scene?

Greg responds...

No single character was "required by law" or even any executive at Warners or CN. Robin made the cut for his own strengths, his popularity and familiarity among them.

No one was cut because we were forced to use or not use someone, with the possible exception of Wonder Girl, who - initially - was off limits. But even with her, she was declared off-limits so early in the process that there's no way to know if she would have wound up making the cut or not.

1. You'll know this Saturday.

2. I don't feel any need to pin this down. But it's in the Central Time Zone.

3. Ditto.

4. If you like.

5. No. Not really, which is not to say he NEVER goes into action.

6. We wanted to give the feeling of the GODS OF OLYMPUS, so we chose the characters that would give us that feeling and play into what we had planned. Plus, you know, 16.

7. No one's too minor to think about, but SPOILER REQUEST. NO COMMENT.

8. There are MANY Star Labs in many cities.

9. You'll find out this Saturday.

10. There are two Green Lanterns in the Justice League because (a) that's what made sense for our Earth-16 and because (b) we wanted a League that felt overwhelmingly powerful.

11. SPOILER REQUEST. NO COMMENT.

12. You mean the promo footage? Clearly, you've already seen it. Otherwise, never. It's not canon. It was promo footage.

Batman: The Brave and the Bold questions:

1. Do you know who hired Kevin Hopps to write the Captain Atom episode "Powerless"?

2. Did you based the episode "Powerless" on that old cartoon series "Captain Planet and the Planeteers"?

3. Do you miss Batman: The Brave and the Bold?

PS: I'm actually starting to like Captain Atom a lot after watching Powerless, although I really do like every member of the Justice League International especially Blue Beetle/Jaime Reyes and Aquaman. I really hope to see more of Captain Atom in Young Justice.

Greg responds...

1. Michael Jelenic.

2. No.

3. I thought it was a great, fun series.

How old are Kevin Hopps and Jamie Thomason? I can't find any darn websites that will ever confirm their date of births!

PS: If they do make more DC Showcases, I personally believe they should hire Jamie Thomason as the casting and voice director for all them.

Greg responds...

I don't believe it's my business to tell you.

1a In misplaced where were wolf and sphere 1b what dimension were they in adult or kids

Greg responds...

1a. Off-screen for the most part.

1b. Probably with the kids. Though Wolf is borderline, and there's always the possibility that Sphere was split.

Thanks for answering fan questions. Just has a couple Wotan ones.

1. How did Wotan join Klarion after getting captured in Revelation?

2. Any chance Wotan's escape after Revelation may get featured in the comic?

Thanks.

Greg responds...

1. It's hard to hold Wotan prisoner... especially with allies like Klarion.

Nope. (As I was, at the time, unfamiliar with Tomorrow Woman.)

Dear Greg,
I was just wondering if the team knows the relationship between Kid Flash and the Flash, similar to how they know that M'Gan is Martian Manhunter's niece, Zatanna is Zatara's daughter and that Artemis is Green Arrow's "niece".

Greg responds...

Neither Wally nor Barry play their secret identities as close to the vest (among other heroes) as, say, Batman does. So I'd think, yes.

Dear Mr Weisman,
First off I want to say how much I love Young Justice; the story telling and animation style is gorgeous and brilliant, and I love how it always keeps me guessing, I never know what will happen next. I have a couple of questions relating to the comics and the relationship of Batman and Talia.
1 How old is Talia?
2 How long has the "relationship" been going on?
BTW just saw Misplaced and it was fantastic! And I have a couple of questions about that as well:
1 Was the big blonde guy riling up the crowd outside STAR labs in Gotham Sportsmaster unmasked?
2 Was that Commissioner Gordon on top of a squad car with the megaphone in the same scene?
Lastly this isn't a question but an observation. I've read a lot of the Ask Gregs and internet chatter about Superman and how people don't like the portrayal of him being so cold towards Superboy, because they find it "unSuperman" but I love it. It seems so natural that he would feel violated by people he has sworn to protect, and I'm sure on a deep level he knows it isn't Superboy's fault he exists he just doesn't know how to act around him.
Keep up the amazing work, I can't wait to see how this season's story ends :)

Greg responds...

1. Talia is 26.

2. I'm just going to refer you back to the comic.

1. Yes.

2. Yes.

Hi, Greg, Young Justice is genius. Have a couple questions-

1. Have you heard any rumors or news around the studio about a potential YJ season 3?

2. Do you have an idea in mind for where you would take the show in a season 3?

3. Have you ever considered ideas for a Young Justice spin-off?

4. Would you ever consider doing a different Earth 16 Series if given the chance?

Thanks.

Greg responds...

1. I don't report on rumors. (Why, what have you heard?)

2. Absolutely. Brandon and I have enough ideas to fill a few hundred seasons.

3. Yes.

4. Yes.

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.
