I notice both Garth and Lagoon Boy are voiced by my favourite all-time VA, Yuri Lowenthall. Is there a connection between these two or did you just select Yuri because he did the best voice for Lagoon?
Greg responds...
Uh, Yuri played La'gaan in Season One, when all he had was one line. We were paying him for Garth, and we get a second voice free.
So now, Season Two comes along. La'gaan is older, so we had the option of recasting, because his voice could have changed. But who better than Yuri, so why recast?

When discussing your tally of how many DC characters are in the show, you mentioned that Kent Nelson, Dr. Fate, and Nabu are considered three separate characters by DC, but Bruce Wayne and Batman are considered a single one.
1) I'm wondering where Roy falls on this scale. Does "Roy Harper" count as a single character, or do Speedy (the real Roy) and Red Arrow (the clone) count as two separate characters?
2) If the two Roys are considered separate characters, does the production team think of him as a character original to the show (like Kaldur), a twist on the character (like a heroic Artemis), a unique adaption (like Klarion as a Lord of Chaos), or just a straight take on the character who... happens to be a clone?
Greg responds...
1. Two.
2. You're making distinctions, shaving the pie, that we're not making. Judge for yourself, I guess.
Kevin writes...
1. Is Captain Atom the leader of the Justice League now?
2. Do Wolf and the Super Cycle have their own designations?
3. What was in the capsule that was used om Clayface in Happy New Year?
4. When Doctor Fate inhabits someone does their body age?
5. Why do Hawkman and Hawkwoman have different wing coloration?
Greg responds...
1. As of Season Two, yes.
2. ASKED AND ANSWERED.
3. Calcifying foam.
4. Yes.
5. My wife and I have different hair colors. It's not a law on Thanagar that spouses have to have the same color wings.

I didn't see this one asked before, so I apologize if it was.
In the comics, Dick Grayson chose the name "Nightwing" as a nod to both Batman and Superman. From Superman's Kryptonian heritage, but still with a Batty slant to it.
My questions are:
1) Is this the case on Earth-16, or was it just something Dick thought sounded cool?
2) We didn't see them together in season one, but in the comics, Dick and Clark seem to have a fun, vaguely "favorite nephew" kind of friendship. Did/do they have a similar kind of friendship on Earth 16? Or any kind of friendship?
3) And since she's also a Big Three who knows Bruce and Dicks IDs and expressed a measure of disapproval over Robin in her absolutely awesome speaking appearance of awesomeness, do Dick and Diana have any kind of relationship?
Thanks!
Greg responds...
1. SPOILER REQUEST. NO COMMENT.
2. Yes.
3. I don't think she disapproves of Robin. But in hindsight - at least at that moment - she questioned Batman's judgement on allowing Dick to become a crimefighter at nine and Billy to join the League at ten. That's not an unreasonable position to take.

What is Wonder Girl's real name? Is it Cassandra Sandsmark?

Yes.

Now that there's a new cast of characters, is there a specific character you enjoy writing? or a superhero you always liked? I've noticed you include captain atom alot, even though he's only spoken once (which was pretty awesome), and you've used him in brave and the bold, and he's one of the few figures produced (and the only one i've bought (because you cancelled before Captain Marvel and Blue Beetle xC ))
Greg responds...
Okay, first off, I did not cancel anything. I have no control over what toys they do or do not put out. ZERO.
Second, yes, of course, I like Captain Atom. I wrote the character for years and years. I have an affinity for him. But most of our decisions about who gets how much screen time are story driven.
And I like all these characters - a LOT.
But the most fun character to write is G. Gordon Godfrey.

Why is Nightwing still so much like the happy-go-lucky Robin he once was? Nightwing is born when Robin is filled with anger and decides to rebel against Batman and go solo. Not only would he not be so cheerful, but he wouldn't be a member of a team either. Season 1's Red Arrow was more like Nightwing, not this guy you showed us.
Is Nightwing's origin story still left in tact or did you eliminate the "anger/angst/rebellion" background. Is Nightwing just a new name Robin wants to go by? Did he still leave Gotham and go to Blúdhaven? I don't know... Your Nightwing is just so different from the Nightwing I've always known and loved that I just can't seem to grasp why you made him this way.
Saying "Way to get your feet wet", crossing his arms and then smiling is something Robin would do, not Nightwing. Maybe you'll have him transform later, but as of now, I'm not enjoying your portrayal. It's only been one episode though, so he will still have a chance to impress me.... I just don't think he will.
Greg responds...
I've never bought that the reason for Nightwing becoming Nightwing was because he needed to 'rebel' against Batman. Never made any sense to me. Children grow and graduate and evolve into adults. They don't have to reject their parents to do it. And, seriously, how does becoming Nightwing - i.e. a guy who wears dark clothes - work as a symbolic rebellion from Batman? He could have stayed Robin and rebelled. Or he could have rebelled and gone for an opposing persona, like "The Bright Blue Finch-Man" or something. Nightwing doesn't "shout" rebellion to me.
In any case, we may never agree on the portrayal, but I hope you'll give our version a chance. And as for your specific note about his dialogue with Robin, I'll just say that I've been reading Nightwing's exploits for DECADES now, and he's not beyond still being DICK GRAYSON in a lighter moment.

Why is aqualad underuse compare to the other characters?
Greg responds...
I don't agree that he is.
Nevermind that writes...
Mr.Weisman , you seem to have an affinity for breaking the fandom's heart , I do hope you mend it soon. Now for my question , M'gann seems to be very...different from what we were used to , did she really change that drastically in five years?
Greg responds...
Five years is a LONG time in the life on an adolescent. She's fundamentally the same person, but, yes, things have changed. Though, honestly, I don't know what you think you saw during the FIRST episode of the new season that convinced you her changes were 'drastic'.

Hey Greg. I've been wondering for a while about YOUR opinion of a few villains. So, if you don't mind answering.
1) Do you have a favorite villain in YJ, if so who?
2) Do you have any thoughts, or opinions about Savage?
3) Do you have any thoughts, or opinions about Klarion?
4) In YJ is Teekl female or male?
5) Is Klarion all knowing since he is ageless (and powerful)?
I'm still not happy so far with YJ:I, but I still love the way you presented the characters. Not everyone is going to agree, that's just a fact of life.
Greg responds...
1. Nope. I like pretty much all of them.
2. I do, yes.
3. Many.
4. Yes.
5. Nah.
