SPOILER REQUEST. NO COMMENT.

1.Are we going to see the Watch tower in YJ?
2.What is Conner's worst subject in school?
3.If Superboy gets his powers from Earth's yellow sun does that mean he'll develop
Supermans other powers like heat vision and flight?
Greg responds...
1. Yes.
2. I don't know. English, I'd guess, just because he'd be VERY good at the others due to his G-Gnome education. But I don't actually think he's bad at English either.
3. He won't, but that's because of his human DNA.
conner writes...
1.Have Conner and M'gann been on a date?
2.How come out of all the males on the team Superboy is closest to Aqualad?
3.Does Mr. Carr have any powers?
4.Why are Conner and M'Gann keeping there relationship a secret from the team?
5.Is Conner good at sports?
Greg responds...
1. Depends on what you count as a "date".
2. He likes all three, but he appreciates Aqualad's serenity.
3. Doesn't every great teacher?
4. Two main reasons: (a) because it's something that belongs to them and they want it to themselves and (b) they don't want their judgement called into question on missions.
5. He hasn't tried in any significant way, but probably.

Dear Mr Weisman,
Let me first say that I'm big Young Justice fan. I love the the character development seen in the show. I do have a few questions, though:
1. Will Laura Bailey or Troy Baker be voicing any character in the show?
2. Are Tula and Garth acquainted with Kaldur's mother (you know, seeing how close they were in Atlantis)?
3. I'm itching to ask if we get to see any Mathlete action from Robin/Dick in the show. But since that's probably a spoiler request, you can ignore the point. I just HAD to type it out.
4. Is Iris related to Wally's dad or his mother? Her maiden name name is West, which would mean she's Rudy's sister. However, she and Mary look so ridiculously alike that I had to ask this.
5. Wikipedia says that Logan Grove will be voicing Beast Boy in the show. Can you confirm or deny this?
To conclude, I'd like to thank you for the stellar voice cast you've put together for the show. Props to you, Brandon and Jamie Thomason!
Greg responds...
1. I'm afraid I'm unfamiliar with those names.
2. They've met.
3. Okay.
4. I don't see any particular resemblance between Mary and Iris. As you noted, Iris is Rudy's younger sister.
4. Well, he's voicing Garfield Logan. Beyond that, you can do the math.

Before I ask a question I just really wanted to say I really appreciate all the work you and all the other writers, voice actors, animators, etc. have been doing on the show Young Justice. I really loved W.I.T.C.H. when I was little, but by far young justice has been one of the best shows I've seen in years. My comic book knowledge is pretty limited, but I love this show and all the characters in it. Thank you for all the work you've done, the fans of your shows really appreciate it.
I was really sad when young justice went on break, but the new episode Misplaced did not disappoint despite the wait. I only have one question that I had not seen in the unanswered questions or archieves yet, but if I missed it I owe you a thousand apologies.
1. When Billy Batson first switched over to the adult dimension by becoming captain marvel, why did the plane disappear? It seemed slightly bizarre since all the other cars seemed to exist in both dimensions, so I was wondering if there was any specific reason for its disappearance?
Thank you for taking the time to answer all the questions on Ask Greg, and I cant wait to see young justice next week!
Greg responds...
1. The plane only disappeared from Billy/Cap's perspective. From the perspective of Adultworld, it didn't disappear; it was right where it always was, i.e. back in the hangar in Fawcett City.
Harlan Phoenix writes...
What were the creative reasons that lead you to choose to write "Misplaced" personally/
Greg responds...
Oh, a few things.
1. The complexity of it made it challenging for me - which is something I look for - but also would have made it difficult for a freelancer to take on and nail the vision I had in my head. So in a way it saved time to write it myself.
Plus there were a number of specific aspects that interested me, including:
2. The "death" of Zatara and its effect on Zatanna.
3. The advancement of the Wally/Artemis relationship.
4. The fact that the kids on Kidworld were actually handling the crisis better than the adults on Adultworld.
5. The advancement of Billy's storyline.
6. The visual of Batman talking to Aqualad 'directly' despite the fact that the audience knows that Billy/Cap is being used as a go between. I like that arty stuff.
7. The mix of humor, action and tragedy is always fun to write.
8. The fact that Baa Baa Black Sheep, Twinkle Twinkle and ABC have the same tune.
9. I'm fascinated with mob mentalities and demagogs. So, for example, if you've read or seen Castaway's speech to the Quarrymen recruits in "Nightwatch/The Journey" you'll recognize a similar technique in Crusher's rants at STAR LABS here.
10. The timeline: telling a story. Starting over and telling it again from another perspective and then merging it.
11. The dual world idea.
12. And ultimately, not just because it was a classic Young Justice story to adapt, but because it's SUCH a perfect story for a show about teen heroes, I couldn't resist.
There's probably more, but a dozen reasons will do for now.
Briget writes...
Hi there! This isn't actually a question, but it's the only way I saw of contacting Greg. I just wanted to say thank you for creating Gargoyles and thank you for making such a rich, elaborate show. Your cartoon formed a big chunk of my childhood, and the storytelling introduced me to so many different aspects of the world of fantasy. It was my favorite thing to watch when I was little. I hope this gets passed along and you get to see it. This show just means a lot to me.
Greg responds...
Thank you for the kind words, Briget. It meant a lot to me to. Still does.

1. Young Justice is my fav show. Love it. :) 2. Are Marvin and Wendy siblings in this DCU? 3. IS IT TRUE THAT YOU VOICE SNAPPER?!?!?!?!?! 8D 4. Unpopular opinion:Besides the team (and JL), the last three are my fav characters. (Even though they've been in only like 3 1/2 eps or so. XD ) (Also, I love how you often answer "SPOILER REQUEST. NO COMMENT." You're one of my fav writers for TV shows. KEEP UP W/ THE GREAT WORK!!! ;D)
Greg responds...
1. Thanks.
2. No. Marvin White and Wendy Harris are not siblings.
3. Well, I voice the adult Snapper, i.e. Lucas Carr, the Happy Harbor High Civics teacher.
4. Thanks.

Dear Greg,
Congrats on the return of Young Justice! And damn, what a return! First off, thank you for adapting the first story of the original YJ! And it was damn good! Thank you, thank you. Now for other things I liked about it, I loved the design on the Riddler, very classy. Also, appearances by Blackbriar, Faust, Wizard, all cool. And Zatara, holy crap that was awesome! Now onto a few random questions;
1-One thing I enjoyed about the original World Without Grown-Ups was the teen ehroes dealing with kids who went crazy. Had you more time in the episode, would you have shown some clips of kids doing stupid stuff?
2-How did you guys approach the deisgn for Riddler? Cause again it was an awesome deisgn.
Greg responds...
1. We did, actually. There's a scene that we even animated where two tweens are joyriding in a speedboat and nearly get themselves killed, but Aqualad saves their bacon. (It's part of the sequence where Superboy saves the toddler from a crashed car and Miss Martian scares off the taggers. But it got cut for time.
2. I give full credit to Phil and Brandon on this. My main role was to walk in and fawn over it after it was done.
More Ask Greg Angst
Okay, I clearly messed up. Previously, I posted a guideline mandating a ten question max per post, and yesterday in my mind I changed it to five - and guilty of what I accuse others of - I did not check to confirm. So I'm here to (a) admit my mistake and (b) live with it - as we all will have to from here on out.
If in my head, the number shrank from ten to five, it's most likely because my patience has ebbed since I posted the ten question limit. Ten seems like a huge amount now - though lower than the twenty-questions-in-one-post that triggered the current guideline change. Frankly, FIVE seems like more than plenty per post, but I realize it's silly to require multiple posts on the same topic when questions are closely related, and five (or thereabouts) seems like a reasonable number.
So I do apologize for the error. But I'm not changing the new policy.
I have talked to Gorebash and our two moderators about updating the rules/guidelines on the front page, and that should be done in the next couple days.
