1. Does Alan Tudyk have any comments to say about his birthplace "El Paso" appearing on YJI?

2. Does Alyson Stoner and Eric Lopez have any comments to say about voicing Batgirl and Blue Beetle?

Greg responds...

1. Not to me.

2. Probably. I think they enjoy it. (Plus, hey, it pays!)

Feedback:

Really, Greg in the YJI episode "Beneath" whenever Jaime says "shed", it sounded like he was saying the "four letter word". But I still find it funny. It's also funny whenever a villian calls Batgirl "Bat-brat" or "Brat-girl".

Greg responds...

Didn't hear that. And neither - obviously - did Cartoon Network.

1. What is the range of M'Gann's telepathic link? In other words, if a member of M'Gann's squad moved too far away from her, would that person lose contact with the rest of the squad?

2. Do the Robin and Batgirl costumes have stealth modes? Granted, Batgirl's costume is pretty subdued. The black gloves, boots and Bat-logo make much more sense than yellow, but I don't get the yellow cape linings and Robin's red tunic doesn't exactly "blend into the shadows."

Greg responds...

1. About a mile.

1a. Yes.

2. No stealth modes. But they're trained in stealth.

A couple of Beneath questions. I love the guest voice cast, by the way.
1a. Holling mentions they're Mescalero. I shan't claim to be an expert on the matter, but from what I've read, they're from New Mexico, not Texas (or, not El Paso's corner of the state). Was Holling a chief of all Mescalero, or only of a small band that moved south?
1b. Was the tribe chosen because of Michael Horse, who's Mescalero?
1c. Is Maurice also Mescalero?
2. Holling's neighbor in the trailer park is called "[...]ilson [...]Clain" (likely Wilson McClain). Was he named after Mark McClain Wilson?

Greg responds...

1. Did Holling say he was a chief? And I believe there are Mescalero Appaches in El Paso, as I recall from our research, but it was a long time ago.

1b. No. Casting was done after the script was finalized.

1c. Yes.

2. Probably.

Greg,
I was wondering if there is any way you can talk to Cartoon Network and get them to change the advertisement for Young Justice. They keep showing the old team from season 1, and I think it's a bit misleading to those who don't know what's going on and such. I think it'd be better if they'd advertise with the new team instead, from season 2, ya know?
Thanks!

Greg responds...

It's outside my control. We've given them the assets. There's nothing else we can do.

Hi Greg,
I have a few questions from the episode Beneath.

1. Was Tai Longshadow supposed to be based on the character Longshadow from the Justice League Unlimited series/ Apache chief from the Super Friends? Cuz i thought you were only using original comics characters, not original characters created for other TV series.

2. Was DC comics and Cartoon Network okay with you doing a story about domestic violence? Were they also okay with portraying Tai's mom as being compliant towards abuse towards her son and herself. Was there a reason you choose to make her so weak spirited?

3. What's with having Maurice pirating dvd's and videogames and how can anyone make money from that system? Most piraters distribute stuff online for free and make money by sharing links with their downloads. They don't put it onto a hard copy and distribute and sell it to people. (You are thinking of bootleggers and that profession is dying out). Maurice wouldn't have a customer demographic at all.
Most people who view/play illegal movies and games can get it online for free. If people wanted illegal versions, why would they pay Maurice, when they could get it for free?
Even if people aren't tech savvy, they have cheaper legal options. Most used dvd's sell for a few bucks anyway (I live near several stores that do nothing but sell used movies and games for a few bucks). And if given the choice between legally paying cheap for an actual DVD or paying nearly the same price for a hardcopy of a ripped DVD (from a shady guy with no accountability of whether it works and is illegal) people would choice to buy the used DVD's and games legally. How could he compete against that? Its a poor and ineffective business model. Plus, why are you still talking about DVD's, get with the times and move on to Blu-ray. You can buy a Playstation 3 relatively cheap these days (It plays blu-rays and would be fun for your kids. You can also play Young Justice Legacy on it when it comes out.)

4. Did you like my bunny?

Thanks for taking the time to read and answer my questions. (I know these might be somewhat exhausting).

Enclosed: A funky dinosaur for your amusement.

Greg responds...

1. Yes. And I don't know where your misconception came from. We already introduced Wendy, Marvin and Mercy in Season One.

2. Cartoon Network's Brian Jones and Tramm Wigzell are great partners creatively and had no issue with how we were trying to handle the subject, i.e. with a certain amount of subtlety and sensitivity. Shelly was created to be a certain version of a real world mom in that situation that gave us what we needed for Ty's character.

3. I never said he was a smart criminal.

4. Um...

Greg responds...

Yes, basically. Though they don't go by any fancy names.

I was browsing the archives and noticed that you said Atom was one of the six founding members of the Justice Society.

http://www.s8.org/gargoyles/askgreg/search.php?qid=14216

1. Was this a mistake or was Atom really a member of the Justice Society?

2.If it wasn't a mistake, is this Atom the same Atom that is currently in the Justice League or is it a different Atom?

3. If this Atom is the same Atom that is in the Justice Leage, how old is Ray Palmer biologically and chronically?
He doesn't old enough to be a founding member of the Justice Society.

4. If this is a different Atom, what are his powers? Are they the same as the current day Atom?

5.If this is a different Atom, how come Ray Palmer was able to take his superhero identity?

Greg responds...

1. Not a mistake.

2. Different Atom.

3. See above.

4. He had none at the time of the JSA's founding.

4a. No.

5. SPOILER REQUEST. NO COMMENT.

In the episode Alienated Catherine says: "And finally, we have the four surviving host bodies used by a race of alien energy beings, known as the Appelaxians, who attempted to conquer the Earth. Of course, the attack also brought together Earth's mightiest heroes to form the Justice League."

"Earths Mightiest Heroes" Is a tagline used by Marvel's Avengers. Is there a reason you chose to put it in, or was it just a coincidence? :)

Greg responds...

It's an inside joke. A wink. A nod.

Hi Greg! Just want to say that I LOVE all of your work!
And now, a question about Miss. Martian: After usual suspects, I understand that she would want to keep her human form, but why does she stay green? Wouldn't she perhaps change her skin tone to white to take pride in her alien origins? I hope this doesn't come off as a criticism or a suggestion, I'm just quite curious.
Once again, love all of your shows and I'm really excited to see the next episode of Young Justice!

Greg responds...

That's not where she is.

In the end of the Season One finale, Superman finally decided to accept Superboy and started the "father/son" relationship by telling Superboy his own secret identity as Clark Kent. Five years later, in Season Two, Superman and
Superboy's relationship has grown to the point where they treat each other like brothers instead of father and son. As their relationship strengthened during the five-year gap, has Superman told Superboy everything about himself?

Greg responds...

"Everything" is a big world, but most of everything, certainly.

I have a whole slew of questions about Zeta-Beam transport. I doubt I can bring it down to five...

1. Why do the Cave and the Watchtower have two portals next to each other? Also, the Cave has two portals, and the Watchtower at least three. Is this for logistic reasons, or does the Watchtower have no elevators?
2. What's the maximum capacity of a tube? On multiple occasions, three people entered at the same time. Could the entire League fit, or is that why there's two portals next to each other?
3. Because we'll possibly never definitively learn with the time skip, and the comics won't reach December for another two years: was Rocket's designation B09?
4. In Misplaced, Billy had to speak an override code before being scanned, but on all other instances (the phone booth, the TARDIS, the main portals) the computer scanned people as soon as they were in range. What if a stranger entered the booth, would he/she be scanned?
5. Is the Manhattan portal under the bridge in "Secrets" only an exit? It doesn't look practical for an entrance.

Greg responds...

1. Why do some buildings have multiple elevators? To handle the traffic.

1a. The Watchtower has elevators.

2. I'm sure there's a limit. It also has to do with the number of destinations.

3. Yes. (Which I'm NOT revealing here. It was already revealed in the comics.)

4. Scans take place automatically, silently and without any visible sign that they are taking place. If the computer doesn't recognize the subject (as with Billy in "Misplaced") it says nothing, unless a code is spoken, asking for a follow-up scan.

5. It's both.

It was a homage to the Appellaxian Golems.

Demitri writes...

Hi, Greg, quick question. As season two goes on, i can't help but notice Megan's radically different personality. She's no longer the slightly naive Hello Megan fangirl, and is instead alot darker, thinking nothing of labotimizing others for her own gain.
First of all, why does no one call her out on it. Martian Manhunter was right there, telepathically linked the guy to boot.
Second, does her self-acceptance have something to do with this? In season one we see her afraid of having the others see her as a monster, but, now that she knows she doesn't have to worry about it anymore, is she now turning into one?
If I see you've answered this, then thanks a ton! If you don't, well, do it anyway ;). Thanks!

Greg responds...

First of all, if you look carefully, you'll see that Manhunter had severed his link just before Miss Martian did her thing.

Second, I'll leave to your interpretation.

Greg just want to start off by saying i love young justice and gargoyles and i still watch some gargoyles to this day. My question is why did the writers primarily decide to make Superboy and Miss Martian the only characters that really get focus and are in every episode?
In season 1 once in a while Aqualad or Artemis would get an episode even Wally but Wally and robin barely did anything. Now we skip into season 2 and Wally is retired and Grayson is team leader but only seems to make cameo apperances. You mentioned season 3 if it happens will have another time skip i assume Nightwing will probably be gone but i was just hoping that the guy would actually have important story lines before he is gone. The other character also i feel should get some type of importance it feels like the Superboy/Miss Martian and friends show.

Greg responds...

I don't buy into the premise of your question. Even a little.

First of all i just wanted to say... great first season and even better second season. Young Justice is the favorite in my household and its one of few shows that holds my two year old attention for its entirety. My question is, whether it be the month or the quarter, when would you hope to get word on a third season for YJ? I can't imagine that this show would not be on for years to come.

Greg responds...

There's no set time when they make these decisions.

I'm curious but does the possibilities for third season look bleak? Or does discussions for the future of Young Justice sound encouraging? Just wondering as I hope that this show goes beyond season 2.

And finally, if the show gets cancelled, do you plan to continue where Invasion left off in some other form of media? Like a webseries or a comic book? Perhaps maybe on another network. Thank you so much. I'm a huge fan of Young Justice =)

Greg responds...

None of this stuff is up to me. The comic book is - at least for now - ongoing. The series is too. We haven't even aired half of the second season yet. Beyond that, we'll have to wait and see...

Hi! First off, I would like to say that I am a HUGE fan of your work, especially with Young Justice, and now Young Justice: Invasion.My favorite episode of the new season so far has to be Salvage, because it had everything that I had been waiting to see. I also want to thank you for bring Lian into Earth-16. It really makes me happy to see her.

I checked the que and the archives, and i didn't see any of these questions, so herewe go:

1) What bree is Wally and Artemis's dog? What's his/her name?

2) How long have Jade and Roy been married?

3) How old is Lian when Jade brings her to meet Roy?

4) Are you aware of all the 'Shipping' names for the various couples on the show?

Thank you so much for making such a wonderful show, and for taking time to answer our questions.Oh, and have a nice day!

Greg responds...

1. Pit Bull.

1a. Well, Stephanie's dog is named Brucely, so maybe on Earth-16...

2. SPOILER REQUEST. NO COMMENT.

3. Under a year old.

4. ALL of them? Probably not.
