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.

Greg responds...

1. SPOILER REQUEST. NO COMMENT.

2. He's adjusting to Conner.

3. No.

3a. Fifty-one.

3b. I haven't nailed that down specifically.

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.
