I know you said in a few other questions that Ms. Martian was the only member of her family who had a "white" appearance. She also mentioned that she had 12 sisters, and that Martians stay close in large families through telepathy. So:

A) How close is she with her Martian family, now she's on earth? Does she write/communicate/keep in touch?

B) Was there any difference in her relationship with her father, compared to her siblings, because she faced the same prejudices He did?

C) How well did she get along with her siblings, was she especially close with any of them?

Also, I'm not sure if you plan on answering this in the show, so if it's not a spoiler request, why did Beast Boy develop powers after being bitten by a Green Monkey? Why not right away? And, would a bite from any other animal have done the same thing, or is there something special about green monkeys?

Thank you for taking the time to read and answer this.

Why was Wally not on the last mission in Before the Dawn, if he claims that he's terrified for Artemis's life? Maybe I'd be more sympathetic towards him if he was doing anything he can to help make the situation better and wasn't content to just sit and wait, and hound Dick for all the decisions he makes. Especially since he was willing to get involved in Bloodlines but NOT HERE. Unless Dick asked him to not get involved because of his emotional state THEN I retract the above criticism. If not how can Wally just sit there and not do something to be proactive at a time like this?

Just want to say thanks for taking the time to answer all the questions that we the fans ask (me included) I certainly didn't expect you to reply to that desperation rant that I posted here. O_o.

I will be the first to admit that I was embarrassed after I cooled down and read it a couple of days later, so I very much appreciate that you took the time to humor me.

And I just saw the official trailer to the upcoming second half of the season! I was already excited when I learned of the new date for DC Nation's return, but now I am SERIOULY pumped! That teaser got blood pumping! Young Justice never ceases to improve, just when I think: Ok it's already so amazing they have to be nearing the proverbial "glass ceiling", you prove to me that you and your team are still flying high!!!

I'm so looking forward to seeing Static! He's one of my fav superheroes! Loved his series when I was a kid so I'm stoked that I get to see him again!

And all the runaways with powers popping up all over the place?!, reminds me of Smallville. (That's not a negative comparison by the way.)

Things are getting hot in here!

We've got super powered teenage runaways, (Conner and Mal were worried about maybe having to babysit Impulse and Speedy? Ha!) secrets and lies, and an alien invasion all being dealt with at once, that is one big inter-related problema...

Even caught Superboy giving Nightwing a good tongue lashing. (That ought to be an interesting conversation.)

One word:

WOW

Still hoping for a season three! I will be just one of many happy fans if it's ever announced, and one of the most heartbroken if by some odd twist of fate it's not renewed...

Just the fact that it's taken them this long to come to a decision means that if we do get a third season we'll have to wait a while before we'll see it... though with Beware the Batman and Teen Titans GO! coming I guess there will be time to produce the season, (maybe that's what they are banking on?) If so seems like DC Nation will just start juggling their content like ABC Family and USA do with their original series. While one show is airing the others are being worked on...

Anyway... I'm excited! Just one week to go! (Really two since I was fortunate enough to have snagged "Before the Dawn" before it was removed from iTunes...

^_~.

What happed to Beast Boy's Dad?

Robert writes...

Hi Greg,

I was just watching "Targets" again for probably the third or fourth time (and for the first time since before the show returned last September) when I noticed something interesting. In that episode, during the conversation between Red Arrow and Lex Luthor at the Peace Summit between North and South Rhelasia, Luthor tells Red something about Lexcorp being dedicated to peace. In response, Red Arrow says, "I've got intel linking Lexcorp shell companies to the sale of weapons in both Rhelasias. You're profiting off this war."

We learned in "Satisfaction" that the original Roy Harper had been abducted while investigating a Lexcorp shell company that he and Green Arrow suspected of smuggling weapons into North Rhelasia.

My questions...

1) Are these two events in fact the same? I mean, when Red Arrow was speaking with Luthor at the Peace Summit regarding his "intel", was he referring (unknowingly, of course) to the same event that led to the original Roy's capture (and, by consequence, his own creation)?
2) If the answer to the above is no, then feel free to ignore the rest of the paragraph. However, if the answer to the above question is yes, then I'm also curious: was Red Arrow's presence at the Rhelasian Peace Summit orchestrated by the Light in advance? I mean, obviously for Sportsmaster to extract information from him and issue new programming, Red had to be there, and he had to be alone. But if he hadn't been there at all, it seems likely that Cheshire would have actually killed Luthor - it just didn't seem to me like she knew what was really going on. But wouldn't it be too great a risk for the Light to knowingly put one of its own in jeopardy - unless they KNEW beforehand that someone (and a very specific someone, at that) would be there to "save the day"? Moreover, for this whole plan to succeed without Luthor being assassinated, both Cheshire and Sportsmaster had to have been explicitly told NOT to kill Red Arrow - which they could probably have done together very easily.

I'm not trying to put forth my own ideas here or anything. I just want to know, in light of the events and revelations of "Satisfaction", if I'm reading this whole scenario correctly. Or... am I just reading too much into all this?

Thank you for your time, sir!

Regarding the two additional guests to Rocket's shower- clearly their identity is a spoiler. When they finally do show up in one form or another, will you let us know it was them?

Small note on issue 22:
I had thought to do comic book reviews during the break. Since I missed so many I planned to review them as rereading the graphic novels.... Yeah, didn't get to it. I will eventually. One thing I would say about the issue before last- The Dick/Babs interaction was heartening and extremely interesting in the larger picture. (Like the most recent issue having young Dick point out that she's good at everything.) It has all the indications of serious romance, and yet we just saw a incorrigible flirt and an implied one night stand with Bette, and no hint of jealousy on Bab's side. Intriguing. Oh- I finally took noted he wears his escrima sticks on a hip holster and not the traditional back scabbard. You lose the cool draw, but the more I think of it it makes sense. Aside from a little torque, the thigh doesn't move. The back moves all over the place, and Dick's way of moving is extremely fluid.

Darkest
I was so proud to have been caught up...and then I just sit on commenting on the last ep to air until the queue fills and closes. If not for the unasked for (and undesired) hiatus I'd be even further behind. (Asterisks next to the questions. The rest are just observation.)

First the shorts
-Teen Titans Go -two sets of dates...cute.
-Aardman - ok. I'm disappointed in me that I'm not liking them more.

Now the show itself- (numbered thoughts, the asterisk is at the only question.)
1. "I am aware of my role in the larger picture, are you?" -One hell of scary line from a 'henchman'. Henchman+clue=?

(Though your kids are probably far too old for you have seen Wordgirl, it has a fantastic comedic version of henchmen+clue: A villain's super intelligence comes from having 2 brains. Unfortunately the second brain came from a mouse, and his hyper intelligence is almost exclusively focused on acquiring cheese. In the midst of an elaborate plan that involved stealing gold to turn into cheese, the henchmen attempt to ask why he does just use the gold to ~buy~ cheese?)

2. I like how Tommy & Tupances' way of talking is archaic, not stupid. And they are far from stupid muscle.

3.I had some note asking about Tigress being a traditional name. Wish I remembered what I meant.

4. Mal sounds so sweet ...and sad. Lives in Mt. Justice and has none of the brashness he had in high school. I get a sense of a life interrupted. I'm looking forward to getting that story. ("Duncan to Watchtower"...what a voice!)

*5. Can L'gan understand the Reach? Thinking of that translation spell from way back.

6. Easier to destroy than create. Impulse is astute.

* 7. What did Kaldur 'say' to Sphere? He laid hand on it and it backed down - was it just recognition? We can guess why Wolf ignored Tigress; Wolf sensed no malicious intent and recognized her. (The spell works on appearance and sound, not scent, right?)

8. I still really miss the sweet scarab...but again, that's not a complaint. Different story. I just really liked the other story too.

9. KABLOOIE! Wow. Just Wow.

Okay, beyond 'just', also it's nice to see Mal the hero. And "Will Sphere be okay?" had me cheering; Yes! Not forgetting the robots. When whichever Crisis it was started by killing Skeets and no one cared but Booster Gold, I was furious that no one would even acknowledged him as a sentient friend, (or annoyance, I guess). Which led them into not realizing Ted Kord was equally murdered. [Yes, I know; Skeets got better. (In a way I still don't understand as being the same being.) They all get better in comics.] It wasn't an oversight that actually was the point. It was just an oversight, and a type that bugs me.

10. Nightwing/Kid Flashes' conversation - Actual worry, conversation, doubt. You feel it as it would if it were really going on. Just because we come from outside the story, and we see Aqualad not being a triple agent, there's no reason for the characters to have a sense of surety or confidence. Well done.

11. Darkest...Welcome to the Light Kalduran: I do like a clever word play.

Next week on DC...~sniff~ At least its almost here.

NOTE TO FELLOW FANS:
I REALIZE MANY FANS HAVE LEGITIMATELY SEEN IT FROM iTUNES, BUT FOLKS! YOU KNOW MANY FOLKS HAVEN'T SEEN IT, STOP INTEGRATING IT INTO POSTS WITHOUT SPOILER WARNINGS! It's basic consideration.

What happened to Gar's pet monkey?

Hi Greg! I just want to say that I love the show and tie-in comics, and that I really can't wait to learn more about several things, like Impulse's past.

1) The design on Impulse's costume kind of looks like Blue Beetle's armor in some ways (the patch under the neck, the little notches). Was this a coincidence, or related to Impulse's past?

2) Have there been any attempts to enroll Bart in middle or high school? (I wouldn't know if any potential schools would have a grade system like Gotham Academy or the traditional 9-12 being high school system, which is why I'm saying either)

3) Is Impulse literate?

Do you think that cartoon network would allow you to show a blatantly gay couple in Young Justice? Probably not have them full-on make out like Super Boy and Miss Martian did, but like, show them on dates and flirting and direct statements that they are in a relationship and such.

Hello Greg i'm such big fan of young justice, I tune into almost every episode, I collect the comics, and I own the entire season 1. I hear season 2 just came out and Im wondering will it include the cut season 2 theme song and whether it will be different from season 1? Hope that's not a stephanie brown request.

Mr. Greg Weisman,

In a prior posting I had mentioned stuff about the New Gods in the New 52; I'm hoping you were able to read that one first.

In this link below,…

http://www.dccomics.com/blog/2013/01/23/andrew-kreisberg-talks-justice-league-of-americas-vibe-1

…there was a piece of information that explains how Darkseid's invasion in the mainstream DC universe potentially affects the entire post-Flahspoint DC multiverse in general. I know that it may appear that it is not much information to go on, but I though that I should share this with you. It may potentially have some effect on Earth-16 (based on what is implied) or it may not… Regardless, I hope this information proves helpful in some way to whatever happens in the world of Young Justice.

Thanks again,
CGYJ

You consider blue beetle as the protagonist of the second season? Obiviamente because he has more appearances in the history and importance than the rest of his teammate

Hi Greg,

Big fan of your show(s)! Young Justice is absolutely BRILLIANT! I'm a fan from South Asia, where episodes are delivered very delayed, so some of my YJ may be outdated. Anyhow, two questions:

1. What's with all the random hiatuses? I understand they may be necessary, but it truly irks some fans (like myself).

2. Was there always supposed to be a jump from 2010 to 2016? Or was it brought up out of the blue? If the latter: what caused it? And what would've happened if there WASN'T a time jump? Would the current events be the same?

Big fan! Cannot wait for more episodes (and less hiatuses).
