Hey Greg, in the comics Icon had his own spaceship. I was wondering why, when the 6 (well, 8) leaguers go to stand trial on Rimbor, they have John Stewart create a ship from light instead of using Icon's ship? I suppose a few possibilities are that he doesn't have a ship on Earth-16 (although the line about him being familiar with interstellar law implies that he probably does have one), or that it isn't big enough for 8 people. Anyway, I was just curious to see if you had an official explanation. Thanks for taking the time to answer!

1. How long as Cassie/Wondergirl been WonderWomans sidekick?
2. Is Wondergirl still related to any of the gods?

Mr. Greg Weisman,

I'd like to say that as much as I respect the old DC cartoons shows (the ones which were collectively known as the DC Animated Universe), I feel that Young Justice has, thus far, done MUCH, MUCH better in many ways (which would be too much for me too list). I am enjoyed the fact this parallel DC Universe, better known as Earth-16, is similar to the mainstream DC universe, and yet, you are always finding numerous ways to create so many unique twists in the characters and the storylines. It makes it very exciting to watch. I'll let you know that, as I might have said in some postings, that I am continuously praying to God every night that Cartoon Network be very generous to you and renew Young Justice for future seasons. A show as good as Young Justice should never, EVER, end.

Thanks for taking the time to read about how I feel about Young Justice so far. As always, keep up the great work!

Why does it take 5 years for the Krolotean to get to Earth?

The episode "Alienated" explains that the Justice League first came together to stop a threat from an alien race of energy beings called the Appellaxians. Do these beings exist only in this specific DC universe? Why did they come to Earth in the first place? What kind of abilities did they possess that made them so dangerous and powerful?

Hey Greg, big fan here! First I'd like to say that, though unexpected (and probably because of that), I really liked the time skip. I was REALLY hoping to see Tim Drake, but I thought it would take too much time and maybe the series wouldn't make it. Seeing Nightwing too is great, and the relationship the 2 'robins' have is awesome! I was very pleased with the way each Robin was approached! Hoping to see more!
So, I have a few questions, and I'm not really sure if they are spoilers because they're tricky, unclear things that may or may not be explained in the future. If they turn out to be spoilers, I sincerely apologize.
1. Does Ra's al Ghul know Batman's secret identity like he does in the comics? What about Vandal Savage (in Justice League: Doom he did, I don't know if he does in the comics)?
2. Does The Light know Roy Harper's secret identity? I'm guessing they do, but then why haven't they found out Green Arrows?
3. Are you involved in the writing of the tie-in comics?
I like the Light being so subtle, but don't they consider knowing their enemies identites as a means to destroy or at least having advantage over them? The classic 'hurt the loved ones' move in case they're desperate? It probably wasn't their plan and it turned out well against Kaldur! I would certainly consider it! Thanks!

Hi Greg:

I have a few questions that pertain particularly to Amazo. As I believe his story is over, I'm hoping none of these questions will run afoul of the spoiler rules.

1. Amazo's powers appear to be based on technology (when he replicated the Canary cry, there was a sonic cannon in his mouth. Given this, would he have been able to replicate powers that are hard to replicate with technology, such as the Green Lantern ring, Martian Manhunter's telepathy (he didn't mind-read Superboy's intentions when he was accessing Martian Manhunter), or Zatarra's incantations?

2. It was never shown on-screen, but does Amazo also have the attendant weaknesses when he is accessing a specific hero (say, Kryptonite to Superman or fire to Martian Manhunter)?

3. Given that Professor Ivo was revealed to be a Light agent, why didn't he build more Amazos to do all that work on Rimbor? Wouldn't it have been easier to do so, than to try to infest the League and the Team?

4. The Amazo display in the Hall of Justice museum (in Alienated) has an intact head. Is this a replica of the original? If it is a benign replica, why is it shown in a disassembled state?

Thanks!

Do you find it as annoying as I do when people ask if Atlantians eat fish? I mean they live in the freakin OCEAN for cryin out loud...thats like asking "do Americans eat land mamals?"

Not so much a question, but a plea...if its not already decided on, please dont make Beast Boy vegitarian...most animals are preditory, it seems to me his conection to animals would enhance his carniverous Human traites, as Humans are primarily meat eaters.

J writes...

Two questions
1- has the term 'meta(human)' ever been used to describe a superpowered being on E-16?
2-Is this BeastBoy a vegetarian like most other versions of him?

In Season 1's "Infiltrator", I noticed that Miss Martian's eyes glowed red while she lifted Kid Flash out of the pool. So far in Season 2, her eyes are glowing green whenever she uses her powers.

My questions:

1) Does a red glow mean telepathic inexperience?

2) Can her teammates see the colour of the eye glow as well? Or is it used to tell the audience that she's using her powers?

Hi Greg,

I find it extremely out of character for Batman not to say anything after M'gann lobotomized that Krolotean right in front of him. What's up with that?

Greetings people of the past. I am from 5 years in your future. I traveled to this backwater time period to warn you of the perils you will face in the next 75 months. I cannot go into the specifics on what led to this tumultuous point in human history. But I have traced the cause and have determined that it was the unfortunate decision to skip 5 years ahead in the Young Justice cartoon. The International League of 'Shippers will launch a massive attack on The Legion of Timeskip Apologists and the resulting battles will tear the DC Nation apart. There will be mass hysteria. People painting finger stripes on their hands. People holding large crowds hostage at Power Ring point until Weisman and Vietti tells them, once and for all, the exact age, astrological signs and favorite foods of everyone in the DC Universe. The streets will run red (blue, yellow, purple, green and sometimes puce) with cartoon ink. It will be CHAOS. Skip backwards 5 years in the Young Justice storyline before all is lost and may The Spectre have mercy on your souls. (Drink Slurm™)

I searched through many of the unanswered questions using the Find-feature and couldn't find this one so forgive me if you'd already answered it by now, but:

If Roy Harper's clone was Speedy for 3 years before becoming Red Arrow, this me means he must have been 14-to-15 when he replaced the original Roy Harper. In YJ:I, we learned through Superboy that the Cadmus clones cannot age. So how did Roy Harper's clone go from being approximately 14/15 to the 17/19 year old we know as Red Arrow? All this while Superboy spent 5 years without aging.

Can Red Arrow age? If so, what makes him different than Superboy?

Did you make Aqualad evil as a way to phase him out of the show? I mean, I don't understand how he can turn evil so quickly after being the team leader. He was so calm and level headed, it just doesn't make since to me that he would have allowed the secret about his father and the death of Tula to affect him that much. I liked him as team leader, it showed that a different kind of person could be leader in the superhero world ... but alas, i digress.

You made me really like Lagoon Boy in this episode of Alienated. He is not a "jerk" at all. I feel sorry for what may happen regarding the future regarding Megan. His respect/love for his King was the thing that won me over. I almost wish we have an episode with him and Conner alone on a mission (no megan please...too much of her as it is) and just guy to guy/hero to hero.

And good show on Superman. It's funny how awesome he was in this and he did not even detract from time of the kids or other heroes. That's a sign of great writing.

Jack-Pumpkinhead writes...

Dear Greg,

Watched Alienated yesterday and DARN YOU! You raise a question, answer it, then replace it with more questions! Aqualad's working with Black Manta? Oh that's why but Tula? When? How? What?! And the worst is I know you won't ansswer any of my questions!

But anyway, loved the episode. I enjoyed seeing the interaction between the Bat-Family, Connor & Clark, Cassie & Diana. Very cool. and I'm starting to really like Jaime & the scarab arguing. Am I correct in assuming he hasn't told anyone the scarab telepathically talks to him? Oh yeah, I like the foreshadowing of "The Competitor". I mean, I know it's the Reach, which is why they freak out when they see Blue Beetle.
Anyway, eagerly awaiting next week!

4. Do you ever get annoyed with people asking you the age of characters?
5. Whose idea was it to include classic Justice League trophies in Alienated?

Mr. Greg Weisman,

In comparison to his mainstream counterpart, could you share with us at least five things about Earth-16's new Robin (Timothy Drake) that is not already known to us/revealed by you? Again, in keeping with your stricter guidelines, please understand I am NOT asking for any sensitive "SPOILER REQUEST/NO COMMENT"-type of information whatsoever. Hopefully, whatever five things you can share with us will not fall into that category.

Thanks for taking the time to read this posting.

This is a question that recently popped into my head about a year ago. One that I've never heard asked before...

Superman like many heroes wears his suit underneath his civilian clothing but this is something that has just occurred to me.

1. When he changes where does the cape go? The thing is SO LONG it's like mid-calf.

PS: I appreciate the opportunity to be able to ask a creator of a series questions like this. It's something that I've always wanted to be able to do. Ask a creator of something that I'm a fan of why they did something, or how they felt about it. So thank you for giving us fans the opportunity to be able to have a dialogue with you. It is VERY much appreciated.

Also I hope this series is able to last past a second season and beyond, I knew when I saw the premise that it would create a fault in the fan base. Unforeseen slightly radical changes in a series usually either go love/hate. I just hope there are more fans like me out there that aren't so thrown when developments like this occur and have enough faith in creators and writers like you that you know what you're doing to wait for the smoke to clear before deciding whether they really truly like it or not. Sure Artemis, Wally, and Kaldar were missing. But the fact that they were main characters in the first season surely would mean that they wouldn't disappear without a trace and never be spoken of again. Patience is a virtue that many fans need to learn.

I saw your latest episode today "Alienated".I was wondering if Kaldur'ahm and his dad are both called Black Manta or is Kaldur'ahm under another identity.
