Hello, Mr Weisman,
This isn't so much of a question as it is a mini-review:
Holy cow. "Darkest" was so intense that I was an emotional wreck by he end of the episode. I was feeling sorry for every character (well, every character who isn't a flat out villan) who appeared in the episode. The supreme irony I noticed? For someone who said that he didn't want to be like Batman, Nightwing is sure shaping out to be a lot like his mentor. I have to give especial props to Jesse McCartney and Jason Spisak for their excellent acting during Dick and Wally's confrontation. Just... wow.

Hi! I would just like to say that you are doing an awesome job. When the beginning of season 2 aired I freaked out because of the time skip and the "loss" of some of our heroes. But I forced myself to be patient and wait it out... and then you brought Artemis and Wally (my fave characters!) back into the mix in such an awesome way! So kudos for the great plot twists!

Here's my question: How old is Zat---- Just kidding!!
No questions, just praise! Keep up the good work :]

1) Okay, so the League definitely knows that Lex Luthor is a member of the Light at this point. So how's he getting away with openly running a major corporation?

2) Was Project Cadmus a US government program in this continuity? Or a privately-run corporation?

Hi Greg.
I just wanted to compliment you and your colleagues for Satisfaction. Your follow-up of the Artemis and Roy storylines made this one of my favorite episodes.
Not only do we get emotional impact, we get the Roy/Mercy battle....one of the most bad-ass sequences in the whole series.
There are certain moments and scenes from the previous DC animated series and earlier YJ episodes that stand out for me. The battle joins that list. Kudos to everyone involved in the episode.

Batboy writes...

1. Assuming Nightwing's acrobatic abilities are the same in this as they are in the comics, is he capable of the Quadruple sommersault?
2. Has Superboy developed anymore Kryptonian powers, or is he still limited by his human DNA?
3. Who is faster, Impulse or Kid Flash?

Does Wonder Woman's Lasso have its truth powers in your version? I'm guessing Wonder Girl's doesn't have its Zeus' lightning powers or she would have used it by now...?

Hello Greg I just wanted to apologize for my superman complaining and ask some questions regarding him.

As a fan I am a bit tired of writers using him just to make batman look cool.I think he is a great character, that few people are actually able to write well (many writers complain that he is too powerful).

When I saw him treating superboy as a brother. I regretted every word I said. You gave is a flawed yet true to the character that is Superman.

On to my questions!

1.-Do you think it is possible to write a superman show as great as past batman shows have been?
2.-Have you considered a superman show?
3.- How has superman survived against lex Luthor. I know superman is the super powered one... But he is too nice and naive while Lex is perhaps as smart as Xanatos.

Thank you for your time!

Celestia writes...

Hi the awesome job with the show.

My favorite new character is wonder girl!. I would like to ask about wonder girl's powers and origin.

I think you have hinted that she isn't an amazon.

In the show Wonder woman said that she "would tell her mother" and you said that her religion was Christianity with a "new found respect on pagan"

1.-was she ever a normal human or is she an amazon?
2.-How did she gained her powers? (genetics?)

What spell was cast by Zatanna in "Satisfaction"?

CGYJ writes...

Mr. Greg Weisman,

In the Season One finale, Superman had told Superboy of his own secret identity as Clark Kent. When Superboy reacted to this revelation, was his reaction based mostly towards the fact because he now realized that they shared the same last name in the episode, or mostly towards the fact because Conner had met Clark Kent in Young Justice issue #20 (as indicated by the flashbacks) and not realizing at the time that Clark was actually Superman?

Thanks,
CGYJ

Hi Greg, I just saw the newest episode of Young Justice,of March since comic wise one of Dick Grayson's birthdays is listed as March 21 or the first day of Spring. Was this intentional or not? It's pretty funny since Wally got November 11, and now Conner has March 21. Was this just another coincidence or what?
Thank you a good episode, can't wait for the next one. :)

Guy Gardner writes...

Back again! Hopefully you didn't have to go through all the lists that were ahead of me when I posted this, but if you did I pray for your sanity. Anyways, thanks for the answers you gave me last time. Here's a few more questions:

1) I love how you've fleshed out the Martians in this universe (Hope to see some Red Martians in the comic or on the show), but I wanted a clarification on their weakness: Is their weakness to fire purely based around heat, or is it more of an innate psychological fear of fire?

2) In "Earthlings", it's mentioned that the word "Krolotean" might as well mean "thief", indicating they are basically a race of criminals. So are Kroloteans supposed to be GOOD at what they do (tech thievery, infiltration, etc), or are they sort of a bargain basement criminal enterprise? Just wondering if the Light took the lowest bidder when it came to planning an alien invasion.

3) We know Earth has three Green Lanterns, but traditionally there are only two per sector. Are there different rules for the YJ Green Lantern Corps, or is one of them part of the Green Lantern Honor Guard (Elite Lanterns who are not bound by individual sectors)? If the latter, is it Guy Gardner? If not, WHY is he not when he is obviously superior to the others?

4) Conner is now attending Ivy University, judging by "Satisfaction". What's his major and is Ivy Town as crazy as it is in the comics? Oh, and nice job sneaking in "The Mysteries of Udolpho" in a second time.

5) I know that the production team was always planning on a 5-year timeskip. Was the idea of doing this inspired by the Legion of Superheroes' "5 Years Later" skip, or is that complete coincidence?

Thanks again for your time!

2. When the original Roy Harper fired a Rocket Launcher at a building, was that a reference to Batman: Under the Red Hood?
3. Was it always planned from season one of young justice to have two Roy Harpers, each of them becoming or about to become in original Roys case, one of the two identities, Red Arrow and Arsenal?

Tyler Reznik writes...

Hello once again, Mr. Weisman.

I've read in the archives that, for the Gargoyles comics, you mentally cast actors for characters who didn't appear/speak in the original series, as well as imagining the voices of the original actors for pre-existing characters. Do you do the same for the Young Justice comics?

Thank you for taking the time to answer my question.

Paul writes...

Why did Nightwing say, "We're crash" in Bloodlines?

Clark Cradic writes...

According to one of your earlier answers, Wonder Woman is 90 years old as of Invasion. How exactly is she so long lived? Is it an Amazon thing, do they only age to a certain point?

Clark Cradic writes...

Some of my friends are curious about certain parts of the last season. I'm very, very, very sorry if these come off as rude or accusatory to you and the crew. I love the work you're doing, but they're really up in arms over certain things and misconstruing certain scenes in the worse possible ways. I figure the best way to calm them down is to get answers straight from the source.

Why did the Light need Roy's entire arm for cloning? Wouldn't some blood or a finger have been enough?

Why did the others but Clone!Roy give up on looking for Original!Roy? Why did they say Original!Roy was never their friend and tell Clone!Roy to give up searching for him?

Again, I apologize for this, I tried to clean up the questions as best I could without messing up the point of the question. Honestly, they'll never let this go unless they hear the answer straight from the creator's Q&A blog. Again, I think you're doing a great job and I hope you and the rest of the cast and crew keep up the great work!

First off I love your work! You are amazing! While I have not seen Gargoyles I have seen Spectactular Spider-Man and my personal favorite TV show right now, YOUNG JUSTICE!!

I love all the twists and turns and unexpected events that happen and while I was a little worried over the 5 year time skip (I was so worried about where Wally was, he's my favorite) you eventually won me over again!
I love all the new characters, with Impulse and Blue Beetle quickly making my favorites list, and all the adventure and cliffhangers!

In short thank you for a wonderful series! I hope you get to do a season 3!! :D :D

Regulus writes...

Hey Greg, longtime fan and Great work as per usual, just a couple quick questions caused by the new roy.

1. The family inheritance and GA's trust fund left to Roy Harper as Speedy. I assume that Red Arrow has used it in maintaining his search for Arsenal, is this the case or does he get the money which primaril was intended for him?
2. The Arm(knew he get one off Lex and Mercy) is it given the title/name of Satisfaction? seemed apt given how it was referred to in the episode.
that's all really, loved the det cord.

Janey writes...

I read all of the new questions and I don't think I seen this one. If it was asked I'm sorry, but it got on my nerves having to read the post that were like a book!! My question is:
1. During Satisfaction when Sportsmaster was angry at Black Manta, in his "own way" was he upset that Artemis was dead and that was his way of venting or was it really just all about his ego?

I love this show!! You and your team are AMAZING!! I have been a fan since I was 10 and would watch Gargoyles. I have read were a lot of fans don't like the time skip...obviously they have never watched gargoyles were it would show the past, then the present. I love your work. I have had complete faith in you guys that I would not be disappointed, and so far I haven't. Thanks for all of your hard work!!!

M'Gann said that she had a lonely childhood. So how were her parents and siblings to her? Especially her white father and brother?

I see some similarities between Miss Martian and Jean Grey from X-Men. Do you? Both are pretty redheads, basically unofficially named the sweetheart among their group, are psychics with incredible raw power and it has a dark side which threatens to consume - Jean Grey with her Phoenix alter ego and possibly Miss Martian with her white martian savage side. *Please note I know you are paving your own way with things but I also couldn't notice some things with between our two red-head pyschics.

Hi Greg. Young Justice is absolutely amazing, please pass on my congratulations to the cast and crew for doing such an amazing job with an amazing series. A particular mention should go out to whoever assisted with molding the never ending contradiction and continuity error that is the DC Universe into such a succinct yet broad and rich world that is Earth-16. Well done. :)

I have a couple of questions about the latest episode, "Satisfaction". And just to say, WOW, what an episode to return from hiatus on. You sure this wasn't all planned out? ;) It just worked so perfectly.

1) The Cave's grotto scene was excellent, congrats on that. The statue of Tula depicted her in the same outfit she wore during "Downtime". Did Tula receive a costume when she became Aquagirl, or did she use that same outfit?
2) Real!Roy/Arsenal accepted a weaponized arm or sorts from Luthor towards the end of the episode. How could he be so trusting of Luthor; the man who kidnapped him, cloned him, and then left him frozen for 8 years?
3) While we're on the topic of it; is there a specific name given to Arsenal's new arm?
4) Possibly spoilery - who is Raquel marrying? Is it a significant character (i.e. member of League), or just some casual guy that works at the local fast food outlet?
5) Was Captain Cold merely after money prior to having his arse handed to him by the League and Team ladies?

Thanks very much. :)

Can you give us a list of which directors will direct the remainder of the episodes for season 2?

WIndona writes...

Hey Greg! I will just start to say that both Young Justice and Spectacular Spider-Ma are amazing shows, and you and the rest of both crews did amazing jobs on those shows.

Also, I'm a huge Blue Beetle fan and love how you've portrayed him in this show thus far, and loved how you handled him in Beneath. Jaime's supporting was really important in the original comics, and even though you didn't include those characters (I totally understand why; it would have been odd to see any of Jaime's comic canon friends run away, not to mention La Dama) you managed to capture the spirit of the original comics and handled the character brilliantly.

As any specific questions about Blue Beetle and Blue Beetle characters will have to wait until the rest of season 2 airs, I have one question, and seeing as you mentioned the name of the aliens in a previous answer I assume I can say them here, but here are my two question;

1) What made you choose, out of all the aliens in the DC universe that could have invaded Earth, the Reach? From the comics I know that they are great villains, but I want to know what made you, as a show producer planning this intricate story, to choose them.

2) Also, I'm assuming you read all of Jaime's solo series because of how well you adapted him, so I'm curious; what was your favorite issue?

Thank you for your time, consideration, and this amazing show!

Dear Greg,
This is something that has be bothering a lot of fans. You and Brandon have repeatedly stated that you planned the timeskip because you wanted to see the characters growing up. But a lot of people on Tumblr noted that by having the time gap, we never got to see the characters actually grow up. They were already grown up by Season 2.

YJ Fan writes...

Hey Greg, loving Invasion right now. Just a quick couple of questions related to Dick Grayson and the Robins.

1. How would you describe the development and friendship of Dick and Conner? I ask this because they are the two proteges of Superman and Batman, and I always felt as if they had a unique relationship. I'm curious to see if that rubbed off on Dick and Conner.

2. In your opinion, what do you think sets each Robin apart? How they view the job, personality, etc. You don't have to give any long winded answers, but anything would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks Greg!

I just finished watching "Satisfaction" and, first things first, I just have to say that I love the portrayal of Lex Luthor you, Brandon, and company have put together (not to mention how well Mark Rolston sells it). He's just so LIKEABLE. Many writers seem to forget that the main reason Superman can't just say "Uh yeah, he's a bad guy, let's lock him up" is because, to the public that doesn't know what he's upto, Lex is almost as beloved as Supes himself. You guys have nailed what makes Luthor a great adversary. Kudos!

Anyway, onto my questions:

1. The Blue Beetle statue in the grotto implies he was a member of League during the timeskip, yes?

2. Sportsmaster's comments made me wonder about who all knew that Artemis was his daughter. Obviously, Aqualad had reason to know, but would Manta? Is Artemis' parentage well-known among the criminal element in Earth-16?

Did Miss Martian try to make Superboy forget the fact that she had used her telepathic powers violently on enemies or just make him forget that he disapproved of it? (assuming this isn't going to be clarified on the show)

Marvelman writes...

Hi Greg,

I'd like to make an observation about "Salvage."

It's that moment where the creature says (through Blue):

Where is the stillness of wood, of stone, of crystal, of metal? All this noise, all this life is pain. We sense the power in this place - power enough to destroy us, to end the pain, to be still again.

And Superboy says, "I can identify."

And then it hit me…

Oh that this too too solid flesh would melt…

the thousand shocks that flesh is heir to…

I wondered if we were intended to hear an echo of Hamlet in Connor and the… whatever it was. One of the reasons that Hamlet is so despondent is that he believes the girl he loves has betrayed him. Then, I remembered that the girl Connor loved and probably still does betrayed him.

So, my question is: am I reading too much in to this? Or, did you intend for there to be deliberate overtures of Hamlet in this scene and in Connor's character in general?

Hi Greg,
This more of a comment, or a praise post. I just wanted to say that Young Justice is an AMAZING SHOW. From the story to the animation! It is AMAZING. Every single show leaves me speechless! I've been a fan of a lot of the shows you've produced and/or written, such as Gargoyles. Young Justice is incredible for both me and my dad! I live in California and my dad and I would actually get up at 6:00AM just to get ready to watch Young Justice(and the rest of the DC Nation Block) from the east coast time! My mom thinks we're crazy, but what can I say? WE LOVE THIS SHOW! I really just wanted to say congratulations for both you and your team! I haven't seen a superhero show this great in a long time(and I'm only 15 xD)! My birthday was on the 29th of September, so having to see Young Justice early in the morning made my whole day! You all are amazing, talented people and uou guys are awesome! Thank you for taking your time to read this :)

[P.S. I read on Wikipedia that your birthday was on the 28th. Whether it's true or not(I don't really trust Wikipedia xD), HAPPY late BIRTHDAY! I hope your day was just as great as mine! :D ]

This show is something that me, my mother and two sisters wake up and watch together. We try to get everything out of the way in the morning so we can watch it at our leisure. We haven't had show that we can sit down, watch and discuss among ourselves for a while. My sisters all agree that Young Justice remains us of the cartoon shows of the 90s where it had more darker and some mature themes and tones. Where the creators didn't treat kids like idiots. One show we made example of that was Gargoyles so imagine our surprise and delight that the same people who created that epic created this. We were like "No wonder! That explains so much!" Thanks for creating this great show.

My least favorite thing is Superboy and Martian current relationship with each other and the issues between them. But that's mainly because I love those two together. I haven't been disappointed by you and Brandon in the show overall so I am keeping faithful that you two know what you are doing. My younger sister says to get over it but I am not giving up until the show ends which I hope isn't for a LONG while.

Dear Greg,
Took me a day to catch the new episode of YJ, and I gotta say that was good! First off, I loved the interaction between Red Arrow & Roy/Arsenal. It felt natural, very cool. Second, I like how he got the arm and the Arsenal name, it's very clea he's not RA. And I gotta say, I loved Captain Cold crashing the bachelorette party of supergirls. That was hilarious. And finally, it's creepy, I was just thinking about whether or not Jason existed in YJ's world and ,without checking the site beforehand, you decide to answer it like that? AWESOME! Also, loved Impulse and Jaime's interaction, very cool. My only concern is, I'm starting to worry for Garth. I hope he survives everyone finding out he's a mole. Keep up the good work!

Hello Mr. Greg Weisman,

Today's posting is in regards to the closing moments of the episode "Alienated." The episode had shown us just exactly what the missing six members of the Justice League did on the Planet Rimbor. On January 26, 2016, these six members intended to go to Rimbor to stand trial for their actions while under The Light's control. Accompanying them are Icon, who is knowledgeable in intergalactic trial law (as stated by Wonder Woman), and Hawkman, who wants to accompany Hawkwoman for obvious personal reasons.

I'm sure you understand that the decision for these eight Justice League members to leave for Rimbor was probably not without causing complications. While it is shown that some heroes like Miss Martian and Superboy are covering for members like Superman and Martian Manhunter as best as possible, there is also another problem. I'm sure you know that we, the fans of the show and comic, understand that most, if not all, of the eight Justice League members have secret identities. The problem with these eight members is that with them leaving for another world, and given enough time, the public would probably ask questions like "Where is Clark Kent?" or "Where is Bruce Wayne?"

While I'm sure that each of the eight Justice League members probably DID have a plan to handle this unique situation before they left for Rimbor, can you please tell us in some detail just what EXACTLY each Justice League member (the ones who left for Rimbor) did to cover for the "disappearances" of their secret identities/alter egos so that the public would not become suspicious enough to believe that they vanished off the face of the Earth? I'm hoping my question doesn't confuse you. Your response might shed some light as how the eight Justice League members resolved this problem before leaving off-world.

Thanks,
CGYJ

Brandon recently posted on his Twitter (https://twitter.com/BrandonVietti) that Red Hood would not be appearing in season 2 of YJ. Obviously, you've got a bunch of other amazing stories to tell, which I'm most assuredly looking forward to.

My question is this: I know Jason Todd is a bit of a polarizing character; is his story one you'd ever be interested in exploring? Not trying to get spoilers for the potential season 3 - I'm just curious as to where you stand on the Jason Todd debate. Some people wouldn't want to touch that story with a ten foot pole. I'd just like to know if his tale is one you'd consider telling in any medium, YJ or otherwise. Or do you find yourself in the 'not a fan' group?

Please pass along my heartfelt gratitude to Brandon and the rest of the team. You folks have done a truly phenomenal job with the show and re-imagining much beloved characters. YJ is simultaneously nostalgic and a breath of fresh air; the perfect Saturday morning cartoon, in my opinion. Can't wait to watch more of the journey unfold.
