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. :)

Greg responds...

Well, we planned on it being a kick-ass episode, but there was no way we could know when CN would choose to go on hiatus.

1. She used that outfit.

2. He wasn't.

3. Like 'Maurice' or something?

4. C'mon. SPOILER REQUEST. NO COMMENT.

5. Yep. Sometimes an armored car robbery is just an armored car robbery.

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

Greg responds...

I don't have one handy, but basically in Season Two, we had three rotating directors: Tim Divar, Doug Murphy and Mel Zwyer.

So Tim did episodes 201, 204, 207, 210, 213, 216 and 219.

Doug did episodes 202, 205, 208, 211, 214, 217 and 220.

Mel did episodes 203, 206, 209, 212, 215 and 218.

I think I got that right.

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!

Greg responds...

1. Actually, Mike Carlin suggested using the Reach - after we had already decided to use Jaime. Brandon and I read up on them, and thought they were perfect for our needs.

2. I'm not sure if I read literally every issue, but I read most of them. But this was now a couple years ago, and I don't remember the individual issues well enough to pick a favorite.

Is Impulse the smartest member of the Team, since he worked on a time machine?

Greg responds...

For all you know, he was tightening bolts.

What you saw offers no proof either way.

Hi! I really enjoyed Satisfaction, but one things confused me - why was there a hologram of Robin with the dead heroes?

Greg responds...

It was the middle Robin, Jason Todd.

1.) Do Wally and Artemis love each other?
1A.) If so, so they tell each other that they love each other?
2.)Do Wally and Artemis want to get married someday, and possibly start a family?
3.)Are Wally and Artemis sexually active with each other?
4.)Is Nightwing/ Dick Grayson sexually active?
5.)Does Zantanna still have feelings for Nightwing/Dick Grayson? Vice versa for Nightwing/Dick Grayson.

Greg responds...

1. As opposed to...?

1A. Sure.

2. I think so.

3. I think it's wise if I leave that to the viewer's interpretation.

4. Ditto.

5. Depends how you're defining 'feelings'.

6. Ditto.

Hey mr. greg i was wondering how did you have it planned out that speedy was going to become arsenal while still maintaining a red arrow in the series?

Greg responds...

How? Um... Brandon, Kevin and I sat down and discussed it. Then we put it on index cards on our big bulletin board. Then... we did it.

(Why do I feel like I'm not understanding the question?)

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.

Greg responds...

Well, I believe you're paraphrasing our statements, and then holding us to a literal interpretation of YOUR paraphrase, but I see your point, and if we were guaranteed twelve seasons in advance, I might agree. But of course, we weren't. The only way to show the true change between child and adult was to jump ahead. Otherwise, we'd still be seeing incremental change between teen and oh-so-slightly-older teen.

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!

Greg responds...

1. I'll let you describe it, YJ Fan, by watching the show and observing it. I don't see the need for me to editorialize on it.

2. I'm tempted to give you the same answer again, but I'll be a tad more forthcoming: I believe Dick ENJOYS the action more than Tim does. Dick is good at leading, but does NOT enjoy that aspect of the gig. Tim is a much more serious student of crime-fighting and would like to lead.

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?

Greg responds...

1. Yes.

2. By Season Two, yes. (Frankly, it wasn't that big a secret in Season One either.) But that doesn't make it PUBLIC knowledge. Artemis is largely unknown to the general public, with a few exceptions - like Cissie King-Jones, for example.
