A 2-3 year time skip I could understand, but a 5 year one seems a little drastic. Was this move influenced by the knowledge that the show might only end up with a total of 2-3 seasons?

Dear Greg,
Took me a few days to get time to post my thoughts on Invasion Part 1.

WHAA?! A 5-year jump?! I gotta admit I'm kinda annoyed at the jump. I was looking forward to seeing all the adventures in between. Hack, if I thought you'd answer any of them, I've got like a dozen questions about the interveneing years. But I trust you enough to give it some time, hopefully things will be explained. And maybe if you get a 3rd season, you'll show some of that.
Now onto stuff I enjoyed-all the new heroes in the future look great! I love the casting on Cassie & Jaime. And Lobo, I walways loved Lobo, very cool! And as I expected, Tim Curry chewed the scenery of his big scene, very awesome, rather funny. I hope next week's episode is just as good!

Hi Greg!

A couple questions about the additions to the lineup for Invasion.

1. Had rights not been an issue, would you have set up Wondergirl in Season One the way you did Mal, Karen, Gar, and La'Gaan?

2. Did you plan on all of the Season 2 Team members from the beginning? I'm particularly thinking of Blue Beetle since he didn't get a cameo in Season 1.

3. Were the Season 2 recruits drawn from their own list? Or were they the "runners-up," as it were, from your masterlist of young heroes used for Season 1's lineup.

Thanks!

First off Mr. Wiesman I would like to say sorry on behalf of the fanbase, obiviously some people have poor impulse control and lash out to those who don't deserve. I am confidant that you and the rest of the Young Justice production team know what you are doing. I won't bore you with the concerns that I have after watching Happy New Year but once again I state that I am confidant in you and the rest to adress those concerns. That being said I do have actual questions to ask. Sorry if some off these have been asked before but as you know it is kind of depressing to read the unanswered section of this blog.

1)Why is Zatanna a member of the Justice League? admittingly part of the reason is that I am sad to see the old Team broken up I do not understand why Zatanna would leave. Being on the Justice League would mean working beside Doctor Fate, who as far as I know, is still controlling her father. Even if she can put aside her feelings to work beside Fate that means she would have leave the team since she is the strongest pure magic user and there seems to be no replacement for her role. Again something that happened during the time skip could explain this and only the first episode of season 2 has aired but her motivation for joining the league are unclear to me as of this writing.

2) How is Rann able to keep up with current members (such as newly inducted Zatanna and Rocket) of the Justice League and put them on their most wanted list while Earth and the Green Lantern Corp are ignorant of this fact, does Rann have the ability to monitor galactic events while keeping a low profile or is there something else at work

3)Finally and I apologize if this seems both a bit whiny and probably asked already (like I said the unanswered archives kind of scare me now) but what was your reasoning for inducting Rocket into the Team in the last two episodes of season one when she leaves to be in the league in season 2. I mean with all the plot threads being tied up in those episodes she didn't get much of a chance to shine so I am wondering why include her when from my perspective she could have appeared as a guest star in an earlier episode and be in the team during the time skip. Once again I am sure you have your reasons and most likely this will be met with SPOILER REQUEST but can the fans expect her tenure on the Team have an effect on stories that if not affect episodes of Invasion at the least the comic book tie in or upcoming Legacy game.

4) SOrry I said I something occured to me while writing the last question but I have a question about legacy. SInce it is a year away and since it is it takes place during the time skip I am worried that if this game were to be cancelled during development the fans would lose valuable insight to what happened between seasons one and two. So this question is that if the game contains information to better understand the transition and this game is cancelled, will that information be avaliable via alternative methods?

Thats it so thank you for your time and I hope that the grief that the more...militant members of the fanbase don't cause you to lose faith in the part of the fanbase who still believe that you and the production team can deliever the same quality entertainment that caused us to become fans in the first place.

Hmm... you are going to blow our minds this season aren't you? Should I be prepared for an emotional rollercoaster more intense than season 1? And why do I feel like you're secretly amused by all the frantic/paranoid/distressed questions/accusations you are getting about the new season?

1.In order from strongest to weakest in terms of combat can you arrange the original eight members?
2.Who would you say is a better fighter Red Arrow from season 1 or Nightwing from season 2?

Crazy brilliant season premiere, team. It's a perfect sequel to the first season: at its core, this series is a story about how the youth of the DCU grow and evolve into adult heroes. Moving from the first 'generation' of sidekicks to a second seems perfectly natural in hindsight. I'm looking forward to getting to know your versions of all of the new characters.

I'm certain that you'll find it impossible to completely ignore the hate generated by the changes to the show - but I hope you don't take any of it to heart. Take it instead as reaffirmation that you have really hooked many viewers - take it to mean that they really care about the characters that you have shaped, and that they are actually afraid for their futures. I want to know what happens with Wally and Artemis and Kal'dur'ahm as much as the next fan - but I also have faith that you and your team will deliver.

However, we still have not seen a green light for a third season. While I don't dislike Green Lantern, I'd much rather Young Justice continue to be a part of DC Nation once Beware the Batman becomes part of the block as opposed to GL:TAS. I live a few miles from Cartoon Network HQ ... do you think it would do any good if I took them cookies on a daily basis in order to convince them to pick up the show for another 26 episodes?

Many thanks to you and the rest of the team for continually delivering the best in entertainment.

Godfrey's "reporting" indicates that the fact that Icon and Hawkman are aliens isn't public knowledge. If so, why are they keeping it secret?

I've just remembered 2 questions. (It was going to be more than 5 anyway)

1- During season 1, only Alfred, a few league members and Ra's Al Ghul knew Batman and Robin's identity.
Now 5 years later, are Batman, Nightwing, Robin and Batgirl's identities known to the rest of the team? Or only a few of them know? (in that case, who knows?)

2- When did Barbara discover Dick was Robin/Nightwing? When did she become Batgirl? When did she join the team?

Hi Greg! Loved Season 2's opening, can't wait to see where it goes from here.

1. Do Lagoon Boy's powers all stem from Atlantean sorcery?

2. If so, can other Atlanteans inflate themselves to be super-strong and tough using magic, or is this unique to Lagoon Boy's species?

3. Err...actually, come to think of it, does Lagoon Boy's species have a name?

Thanks!
