My sister and I LOVE Young Justice, but she has to work on Saturday mornings and has missed "Beneath" and "Bloodlines." We don't have Tivo or DVR and she is strictly against illegal downloading of any kind and neither of the episodes is on demand or on the CN website. Most fans we know that watch them late download them from places we don't think are legal (though we haven't done enough thorough research to be sure). Do you know where she could watch the episodes legally without having to pay $3 an episode for them on iTunes?

Just a quick question for ya Greg. In Season 1 we had Black Canary train the team and in a way her pet project was Superboy. Does Dinah still train the team in Invasion or has Conner taken over that aspect of the Team?

Dear Greg,
Watched Bloodlines today, and IMPULSE!!! THANK YOU! Seriously, I like how you handled Impulse. Still get the annoying aspect of him in, but more interesting & with a simpler origin than the whole grown in a test tube and accelerated aging thing(why does that sound familiar? ^_^). Also enjoyed the whole thing with Roy & Jade, very cool. And I liked seing Jay again, very cool. And again, curse you for raising more questions while answering few to none! Regardless, great episode, keep it up!

More of a comment on the last comment than anything else. We're only six episodes in so naturally not everything and everyone has been fleshed out for this season yet, including the minority characters.

I'm part of a minority too. I'm gay and we haven't been referenced at all in Young Justice, which I view as a flaw however if we were I would be happy with the kind of portrayal the other minority cast members have received.

The minority characters in Young Justice are being treated as characters like any other. Some are more prominent than others but that's the same for the white characters too, Connor is a fair bigger character in the series than Wonder Girl for example.

In Young Justice you have minority characters in big roles as both villains and heroes. In my opinion having a diverse representation of minorities is far superior to just favourable tokenism. We're all people and we're all fallible. If anything I think Aqualad in the first season could almost be seen as "favourable tokenism" becase he was too perfect. He's far more interesting to me now that we can see he's flawed.

Hey Greg, it's me again. I've got into Young Justice at the beginning of the year and I got to say I love it! I quickly got into the series and can't wait to see more.

There is something I would like to ask though, ever sense the start of season 2 I haven't heard Nightwing say any backformations (you know the words he likes to mess around with like "whelmed" "aster", "chalant", and so forth) like he did when he was Robin. Did he grew out of it? Does he not say those anymore?

I guess the same things can be said about Miss Martian sense she doesn't say "Hello Megan!" anymore, but she at least said it once out of the released episodes that aired at this time.

Anyway that is all I really wanted to know, thanks for the time!

Why does Central City have its own version of the Gateway Arch (and one with such a stupid looking foundation, at that)?

As a St. Louis metro area citizen, I find it insulting that Central City made a cheap knockoff of our famous monument. At least Neutron destroyed it.

Hey some Beast Boy questions:

1. Where did Beast Boy get his cool outfit? Seems high tech.

2. Does Beast Boy not have shoes because it would interfere with his outfit turning into a collar when he turns into animals? Seems like that would be a problem.

3. So does Beast Boy wear that outfit 24/7? If he's caught off guard, as super heroes occasionally are, and he has to transform wearing normal clothing wouldn't he end up naked?

4. How intelligent is Beast Boy relative to other team members/characters? (Tim, Wally, Superboy etc.)

Before the episode "Alienated" concluded, Wonder Woman stated that Icon was knowledgeable in intergalatic trial law. What other non-Earth related things is Icon knowledgeable in?

Anonymous writes...

Is it my imagination, or is there something wrong with Kid Flash's super speed after 5 years? I mean, The Flash and Impulse appeared to be WAY more faster than KF!

Hi Greg,

I have a few questions/comments:

1) In "Bloodlines", it appears that Wally arrives in Central City just after Impulse. However, when Nightwing calls Wally initially, the map indicates that Impulse is already in Indiana/Kentucky at this time and moving very rapidly (passing through states in several seconds). I believe Central City is somewhere in the midwest, though you haven't specified. Given that Wally is established to be noticeably slower than Impulse, if he is in Palo Alto when he gets the call, he would likely arrive in Central City a good bit later than Impulse. This is supported by how long it takes him to run across the country in "Coldhearted", although that was during a blizzard. Is Wally's quick arrival a continuity error? Maybe he was already near Central City when he got the call. There's probably enough ambiguity that it can be explained away regardless. Sorry for being so nitpicky about this. Feel free to provide a snarky response.

2) I liked line about the intersection of "Fox and Gardner". I'm sure this was a shout-out to the late Gardner Fox, original writer of Jay Garrick's Flash. Do you remember whose idea it was to include that line?

3) Peter David wrote "Bloodlines", and he also wrote the original YJ comic. Did he write this episode because it was the introduction of Impulse (a primary character from the comic)?

4) Was Neutron's suit intended to resemble the Anti-Monitor from Crisis on Infinite Earths? I'm not too familiar with Neutron, but from what I could tell his suit design on the show appeared to deviate from his designs in the comics. I thought this might be intentional as a reference to Barry Allen's memorable death in the crisis.

5) Lastly, why did you choose Sportsmaster as a primary villian on the show? I imagine it was related to the decision to use Artemis. I ask because I think you've done a great job of making Crusher Crock compelling and realistic. I like how he pole vaults over a wall in "Targets" and uses the discus and javelin as weapons. In my opinion this makes him seem much more like an athlete (decathlete?) and less like a big thug/goon which many villian enforcer types seem to be.

Thanks for answering, and here's hoping for many more seasons!

Was Impulse saying "spoilers" when he accidentally revealed a future event at all influenced by the use of the catchphrase "spoilers" in Doctor Who (mostly in relation to River Song and the Doctor meeting in the wrong order)?

B writes...

Is it just a coincidence that Jason Marsden voiced Impulse after voicing Noel Kreiss, a time traveler trying to set right a dying future, in the English dub of Final Fantasy XIII-2?

Mel writes...

You said that the relationship between Dick and Barbara was that of best friends wit h potential. In terms of the five year time jump, has this changed?

JAC writes...

On Earth-16, is Barbara a better hacker than Dick?
I know this question will most likely be answered before you ever even see it, but im really hoping she is...i am NOT asking if she will ever become Oracle, if that means anything.

In regards to using a bow and arrows, is Artemis preferably right-handed, left-handed, or ambidextrous? What about Green Arrow, Speedy (even though he never truly made an appearance in Season One), and Red Arrow?

Anonymous writes...

What are the production codes for the Young Justice episodes? Are they 101, 102, etc. or are they specific numbers?

Dattaboy/J-GL writes...

Greg couple of questions
1). Does Superman think he is the only Kryptonian left?
2). Why has Icon chosen to stay on Earth when their is technology capable of taking him back home?
3). Why has Martian Manhunter chosen to defend Earth?
4). If Aquaman and Wonder Woman worship to some degree greek gods how do they view Captain Marvel who seems to draw his powers from said gods?
5). With Black Manta taking Ocean Masters place on the light I would assume he also takes his designation, so since the light started how many members have been replaced and who were they?

Was Wonder Girl trying to save the falling plane by pushing up its nosecone a deliberate reference to the scene where Superman saves the plane in Superman Returns?

Dear Mr. Weisman,

I have some questions about the reputations of the various super villains on Earth-16.

1. Which superhero's Rouge's Gallery has the fiercest/ most frightening reputation(s)?

2. Do Earth-16 supper villains tell "Joker Stories" when they want to scare each other?

Tupka writes...

Because this guy is a complete mystery to me and pretty much everyone else on the Internet:
1. Who is Eduardo Dorado Sr.? Was he in the comics?

Also,
2. The inevitable: How old is he?

Jerome K Moore showed the character designs of the Appellaxians on his deviant art page.

http://browse.deviantart.com/?qh=&section=&global=1&q=Appellaxian#/d501690

1.Are the names Gold Roc, Wood King, Stone God, and Crystal Creature the official canon names for each of the Appallaxians as shown in the character design?

2.Also was their a reason that you didn't include the Appallaxians Fire lord, Glass Man, or Mercury Monster? 7 on 7 would have been a more fair fight against the original League.

3. From reading his design process, it sounds like you give Moore a lot of hard work. You should probably give him a break sometime.

:P

GP writes...

1. Does Wally still use his powers (for example, running to his school, visiting his parents) or he decided not to use it anymore.
2. Are Wally and Artemis doing sports in their college? If so, what kind of sport?
3. As of now, who knows Nightwing's secret identity?
4. Did Robin/Nightwing showed the picture of Artemis and him taken during Homefront?
5. Did Artemis and Wally kept contact with the Team, like Nightwing (to hang out or doing not-hero stuff), or they were all too busy?

Mr Weisman,
Who is La'gaan's best friend on the team?

Hello,
i LOVE this show even if KF is gone (snif) but there is something wich disturb me. Miss Martian isn't to powerful ? I mean she has a more powerful spirit than her uncle and she beat him in the last episode of the first season that her teammates wasn't able to do.
Last question, how many members are in the JLA?

Jack-Pumpkinhead writes...

Dear Greg,
FINALLY got to see Saturday's newest YJ, very nice. I like Jaime trying to be the detective, feels in-character for him. And Alpha Team was awesome, thank you for spotlighting Cassie & Barbara. I love her putting Dick on the spot like that, hilarious. Also, good lineup for the Fearsome Five, kinda nice to see Icicle Jr. again. Keep it up and I'll post comments next week!
