Hello, Greg.

I just wanted...to give my condolences. It's not fair, and I'm not sure if it's true that you found out about the cancellation from the fans of Young Justice, but if it is I am extremely sorry!

With love,
Someone who understands it's not your fault.

On young justice invasion episode 7 why did night wing keep that picture of him and Artemis all those years and when Artemis and wally kissed at the end night wing looked away does night wing love artemis

Ember C. writes...

Hey Greg! First, I'd like to say sorry about what CN did with DC Nation! So rude...! Anyway, my questions:
1. Is there any other network you guys can have air your shows (YJ and Green Lantern) or is it just Cartoon Network?
2. What the heck happened to Tommy Terror!? He went from a blonde, punk version of Superboy... To a snorlax with blonde hair and piercings. Did he take too much cobra venom? Or did he eat too many small children?

I was looking forward to seeing a new episode of Young Justice this week for the resolution coming out of last week's episode, and Cartoon Network has the nerve to pull off a last-minute stunt like this?! The reason I'm in a bad mood is because I just found out about this news on worldsfinestonline.com

So by your update on the status of the airing of "Before the Dawn" I'm guessing that you weren't informed of DC Nation being inexplicably cancelled either?

Hey Greg,

The new episode of YJ did not show today...WHAT UP WITH THAT?

I was SOOO looking forward to seeing what happened after you guys blew up mount justice and kidnapped Beetle, Impulse, and Beast Boy. So tell me...what happened?

Mr. Greg Weisman,

I'm not sure if the comic will eventually answer this question or not, but I wanted to hear your opinion about it.

During the five-year gap, why did Superman chose to specifically call Superboy by the Kryptonian name, Kon-El?

The reason why I asked this particular question is because of this: In the New 52, Superboy's Kryptonian name is not one of honor in the House of El anymore as it was before the events of Flashpoint. In Superboy #6, Superboy had an encounter with Supergirl, and when Supergirl learned he was a clone, she attacked him and called him by his Kryptonian name, which she translates as "Abomination of the House of El." The reason such as translation given is explained Superboy #0, which told the story of a renegade Kryptonian clone named "Kon."

So, while I assume that Superboy's Kryptonian name might be something that honors that House of El on Earth-16, I want to hear your opinion on how Kryptonian naming works on Earth-16.

Thanks,
CGYJ

In Depths, Lagoon Boy said that it was his first time fighting alongside Artemis. But in the Young Justice: Legacy game, both of them are on the Team, are they not? I read that Bumblebee and Lagoon Boy are on the Team at the time of Legacy but are on another mission or something. In any case, if L'gaan joined the Team before Artemis and Wally quit, why didn't she go on any missions with him in that time?

Why do you have to credit the creators of some characters (e.g. Miss Martian, Nightwing, Impulse, Batman) but not others (e.g. Superboy, Artemis, Kid Flash, Rocket, etc.)? What aspect of the legal rights require you to say that Bob Kane created Batman but not that Dwayne McDuffie and Mark Bright created Rocket?

Hello Greg!
I was wondering what's Mal Duncan role on the Team? Thanks for amazing series, it keeps getting better and better!

Michael writes...

Hi, Mr. Weissman, I truly, truly love Young Justice as well as the rest of your work. But I had some questions about Young Justice.

1.) When I was watching "Depths" for the first time, the beat with Nightwing looking at the photograph (of himself and Artemis at School) nearly killed me. When Dick took the photograph in "Homefront" was that included in the episode with the intentional purpose of paying it off in that manner? Or was it just an extraneous element that you took advantage of when developing the storyline for season 2?

2.) Was Jason ever a serious contender for the new Robin in season 2? I ask because I recently saw the episode "Darkest" where a building is destroyed in a manner similar to "A Death in the Family". I loved what you guys did, and I don't mean to imply that "it would have been better if you'd done it this way." But I do think it would have added an interesting layer if Jason Todd had been an unintended casualty of that event. Assuming of course that the network would let you do something that extreme in the first place. So was that idea ever discussed?

Michael writes...

Re: an earlier question: "I know this series is different considering that this is another Earth, but in the comics the scarab was against causing physical harm to living things, even almost getting Jamie killed sometimes."

I don't know what comics they've been reading, but this is 100% incorrect. The scarab in the comics was created to be a killing machine, and is only tempered to non-lethality by Jaime's influence.

For a question of my own:

In the tie-in comics, it is mentioned that Jaime had met Guy Gardner, Peacemaker and Captain Atom prior to joining the Team. His connections to Guy and Peacemaker are references to his original comics, so I was just wondering why you added Captain Atom to the list, rather than continuing the theme with another hero comics!Jaime encountered early in his career, like say Batman?

Beryl writes...

"Darkest" was some episode. I must say, Dick and Wally'a behaviour during the episode has split the fans' opinion of them into two, with the fans defending one and criticising the other. I must congratulate you for the nature of the argument. Both Wally and Dick had valid points and glaring flaws,which just serves to underline how human they are. In the end, I found it difficult to place the blame entirely to either one of them, especially since it's clear that the stress of keeping the secret is getting to both of them in a very bad way.
Bravo, Greg. I think whoever wrote the episode deserves a pat on the back.

Marvelman writes...

1) Did Dick and Rocket date? (Zatanna seemed to suggest this in issue #20.)

2) Why was everyone so surprised that they were kissing?

3) I thought M'Gann covering Beast Boy's eyes was cute. But I was confused by the expression of amusement on Batgirl's face. What's up with that?

4) What is wrong with Nightwing? Zatanna, Raquelle, even Barbara... They're all awesome! Anyone of them would be entirely worthy of a long term committment. (Maybe Barbara is smiling because she knows better than to become another notch in Dick's belt?)

5) Initially, Superboy and Miss Martian had some difficulty separating their personal and professional relationships. During the five year gap, do you imagine that Wally and Artemis were as successful at checking their relationship at the door as Connor and M'Gann?

CGYJ writes...

Mr. Greg Weisman,

The second season of Young Justice may either conclude or is close to reaching its conclusion by the time you respond to this, but I wanted to ask you this question.

Considering all the individual events that have been happening through out the second season and their seemingly apparent (and somewhat hinted) connection to that state of the world in 2056, would you say that the way that these events connect to Bart's future is almost like that of a spider's web, kind of like threads?

Thanks,
CGYJ

Is Rocket pregnant?

The reason I ask is because I got the vibe that she was having a baby shower before I got any indication that she was having a "bridal shower" (which I, as a guy, know nothing about). I know she's engaged, but is she also pregnant?

L'gann writes...

Many people in the Yj fandom dislike Lagoon Bpy. While a majority of the dislike is due to the fact that he 'broke up Supermartian' (as untrue as that is) a lot of it is for his cocky-ness. Was this trait something you put into him because you believed he would be trying to outdo all of Aquaman's previous trainees (eg. Aqualad, Aquagirl, maybe Tempest)? Is his desire to be on alpha, take down Nightwing in a spar, be better than superboy, all a ploy because he is filling the shoes of great people?

russianspy1234 writes...

1. This might be past tense by the time you get to it but: (Do you think it will be / Was it) difficult to give as much character development in Season 2 as you did in Season 1 since there is a much bigger cast?

2. What was the point of the charm allowing Robin, Aqualad, and Kid Flash to see Artemis's original self? I mean, I know it's a common thing to do in shows, but it seems particularly risky in this case (e.g. someone else could have been there, Aqualad might slip and call her blondie, Zantanna figuring it out, etc) and no reward, since they are all there and can see what she looks like with the charm and should have no need to see her original self.

3. Superboy mentioned that he isn't immortal, but doesn't age externally. Does that mean he is aging internally and will eventually have the problems therein, or just that he can be killed but will never die of old age if he isn't?

Willow Tree writes...

It's seems that many characters from the first season in Young Justice are becoming the things they didn't want to - ex. Artemis is posing as a villain, Robin is using people, M'gann is losing control. Was this planned (most likely, I'm assuming, with your and Brandon's in-depth writing) or just a coincidetial thing?

Jake writes...

I have a theory as to why M'gann changed her hairstyle between seasons. She based her appearance off of Gar's mother, and my guess is that she changed her hair after Gar's mom was killed so that she would look less like her so it wouldn't be a constant reminder to Gar that his mother is gone. Am I right?

Jake writes...

You said in a previous response that Beast Boy has to have seen and made physical contact with an animal in order to turn into it. So, can he not turn into a dinosaur? Or could he have gone to a museum or something and touched a dinosaur skeleton?

First off, I just wanted to say thank you. Thank you for Spectacular Spider-Man, which is, IMHO, the finest superhro show ever created. Now, for a few questions!

1. Did you have any influence over choosing the art style for the series? Because I absolutely loved it.

2. Do you have a favorite Spidey villan that DIDN'T appear in the show?

That's really all I have to say, other than thanks for working so hard to make such great shows. Looking forward to more Young Justice!

Shazam writes...

1. On several occasions there have been cameo's and brief shots of characters that don't properly get introduced till later, some big ones being Icon, Rocket, and the Atom. Other times they make appearances but don't get any screen time afterward such as Blue Devil and Black Lightning. My question is, are all these cameo's created with an idea for them to play a bigger role and it just hasn't happened yet, or are they just for fun for fans that recognize them?
2. Were any of the new members of the team (post 5 year gap) established in their current identities during the first season (pre 5 year gap)?
3. If you had the ability to make the show without any censorship would you make it more mature regarding language, topics discussed, or level of violence? I'm thinking specifically of "Batman:Under the Red Hood" as an example
4. When the Justice League was being controlled by the Light and fighting the Team was the League able to fight at 100% or did being controlled limit the complete use of their abilities?

salve-sis writes...

You made Jason Todd cannon. *THAT* was just like- my favorite part of the entire series. But Nightwing's character development is a close second.

Nightwing- the same Nightwing who was so convinced that he couldn't be The Batman (and didn't *want* to be) - is now acting so much like his mentor I wanted to cry. He's acting exactly like he did in Failsafe, and that was a simulation (not that that makes what happened in that episode any less traumatic). He was already going through the trauma of actually making those decisions, but he was spared from having to live with the consequences of them. He doesn't have that luxury anymore. Whatever decisions he might have made or will make, he is going to have to live with the end result for the rest of his life. Did you have his whole 'That's not me' line in mind when you guys made this episode?

On a side note, I found it insulting that Nightwing and Aqualad blew up the Cave. I mean, I understand Nightwing's reasoning, but that was NOT his decision (or Aqualad's) to make. That wasn't just a place. That was Super Boy's, Beast Boy's, and M'Gann's home. Seriously, being the leader does not give him the right to make these kind of choices without consulting his team. Of course, the same could be said to faking Artemis's death, but I'm not going to get into that. I still love Nightwing, but I want to slap him for being suck a thoughtless jerk. I feel so conflicted. And I love you for that.

I can't wait to watch more YJ! episodes in the future, and I hope you guys get renewed for a third season. Thank you for taking the time to read this.

Hello, Greg :) This isn't a question, I simply wanted to say how great Young Justice is and congrats!
I've enjoyed Young Justice ever since 'Independence Day'. I must be honest though, seeing the characters grown up and distant from eachother saddens me. It's as if they've forgotten the strong bonds they formed as kids, Wally and Dick especially. I miss Season 1 and I wish we had a little more time with the characters young and together before things started to change. I'm not a big fan for change because when you've watched something from the very start or for a very long time, it's hard to see everything change and different before your eyes. I'm mostly refering to the relationships in the show. Wally and Dick had the greastest friendship and I believe they still do. True friends have fights and they work it out in the very end. Though I feel Wally has been too harsh on Dick. Dick is trying his best, he knows of the mistakes he's made, he has no one to help him. I mean, Wally is one of the very few people who knows of Dick's identity and pass. Wally was really the only person Dick felt safe talking to, and Wally putting all this blame on Dick and yelling at him doesn't help. All I ask is that you don't let their friendship die. Friends like that come only once in a life time. To tell you the truth, one of the reasons I enjoyed watching Young Justice was the moments Dick and Wally had. It showed me what true friends looked like and it was Wally and Dick. I miss those moments, don't let their friendship die. Because in our Darkest hours all we need is our best friend. It's when we need them the most.
I don't wish for a response to this, I know you're a busy guy. This isn't criticism or a challenge, just feelings and thoughts from a fellow fan. All I ask is for you to read this. Thank you :)

I just saw the young justice episode darkest and i must say it was fantastic, the plot was genius, the wally and dick argument was heartbreaking and the impulse and blue beetle bonding was really sweet.

I have a question, bart must have known what happened in the past to have tried going back in the first place to try and fix the future so he saved the flashes life and i guess he thought he fixed the future, because he seemed surprised and upset when mount justice exploded, did he expect that to happen or was he genuinely shocked mount justice was still obliterated?

Salieri writes...

Hello, Greg! I've noticed you answer a lot of "would you ever make series X with character Y" with "IT IS NOT UP TO ME". So, I was wondering, have you ever been in a situation where those sort of decisions were up to you? If not, do you ever hope to be in a position where you have full reign over those decisions?

Thanks again for the awesome Young Justice! I wouldn't be this invested if the writing weren't this spectacular!

EMILY writes...

I love the young justice I feel season two is even better than season one even though I don't see some of my favorite characters as much as I would like. This show dose not just jump to a new story every episode or even every season I like how every episode ties into what happens later even if it dose not tie in for a while. So heres my questions...
1. In season two there is a bunch of new characters and while last season with the main six it could have enough development for each character but now with so many new people are they going to have the same chance or are some just going to be more of a minor main character?
2. Mal joined the team in a way, how did he get to be part of it? I love his character by the way he is sort of a gentle giant.
3. Is batgirl a protege of batman? I never really understood because beetle mentions how robin has batman, nightwing and batgirl as mentors, does batgirl have more of a relationship with batman like nightwing has or is it more like robins realationship?

Feymark writes...

Hey Greg! I have some questions regarding Superboy (both S1 and S2)
1. If Superboy would have stayed in his pod for a longer time or worn the Solar Suit for enough time, would he have ever developed the rest of his powers?
2. Would Superboy have survived the bomb's explosion in 'Darkest' like Superman with little to no injury?
3. In terms of strength (considering that they're both the powerhouses of the team); is Cassie physically stronger than Superboy, or is he?

Jenna writes...

Hello Greg, I'm a huge fan! First off i'd like to say congrats on such a thrill-packed first episode after the hiatus! One thing I noticed is the beautiful animation! It might have been just because I haven't seen a new episode in such a long time, but did the animation change? Or did you add anything new to the animation?

Kat writes...

First- Invasion is great. It's so much better than I thought. I didn't think I'd like it better than season 1- but I do. A lot more (which is hard to say because season 1- the show in general- is incredible). I love the details you guys put it in, and I'm loving the characters a lot more than I thought I would.

Second- Are you guys working on Season 3 yet or are you waiting for Cartoon Network for a renewal?

Jack-Pumpkinhead writes...

Dear Greg,
Saw Darkest today, and DAMN. You said it was their darkest hour and you weren't kidding. I mean my reaction to Mount Justice going up was "0_0 ..." And that's a good thing. Gotta say I kinda liked seeing the Terror Twins again, and Icicle still holding a torch for Tuppence even though they never met before now. And Tigress, nice work. Kudos on working her comic book roots into it. And I'm kind of surprised the guys are unsure of Kaldur's allegiance. Granted, I'm an optimist and hope he gets a chance to redeem himself before all is said and done.
Again, excellent work and keep it up! You are my soul source of enjoyment from DC characters right now!

Hey Greg! LOVING the crazy that is season2!
P.S. I went to Stanford too! I stayed in the Okada house. It was painted like the Joker from Dark knight :)
(I'm still in school, so 3/5 of my question will be related to that horrible, but amazing place!)
1) So Artemis is undercover, and died in March. But they were both still attending school (Can we say Stanford yet?) in February. So has Wally taken time off school while this is going on? or is he still sticking it out?

2) I feel like Artemis would get a scholarship since she comes from a poor (ish) family and her parent(s) have been in and out of jail. Would this been correct?

3) If not, how ARE they paying? Are they just 80+ G in debt? or did Batman given them uni. money for saving the world? That'd be sick.

4) Clark told Conner his real name, and seemed pretty open about it. Since Conners only 'real' family is basically CK, and the original 6, do they now know too?

5) Now that Clark & co. have been MIA for a couple weeks, does Conner hang out with Lois? Now that they are both temporarily single, does he just come over Sundays nights for Game of Thrones? 'Happy Birthday' text of his birthday kinda stuff?

THANKS! You and everyone else are awesome!

Paul writes...

In "Darkest", Impulse lured Blue Beetle into the desert, away from civilians, knowing that Aqualad's attack was coming. This leads to ask: in Impulse's timeline, did Aqualad's team attack Jaime at his home in front of his family, thus exposing his identity as Blue Beetle?

Why are Bart's eyes green instead of yellow?

CGYJ writes...

Mr. Greg Weisman,

In regards to Bart Allen's placement in Earth-16's timeline, was the reason you had him living only 40 years in the future instead of the 30th century (like in the comics) was because there are difficulties in imagining what kind of architecture and technology (among other things) would possibly exist in the distant future, or are there other reasons?

Thanks,

Hello,

Thank you for Young Justice and the shows that came before it. I'm eager to see what happens next.

I have a couple of questions about the Belle Reve inhibitor collars that made a reappearance this week in Darkest.

1. How finely tuned do the collars need to be? Would a collar prepped for someone with with super-strength work right away on someone similar powers from a completely different source? (e.g. Blockbuster & Superman)

2. Would the collars as they are be able to nullify powers involving magic, such as Captain Marvel or Zatara/Zatanna?

Cat writes...

I would just like to comment on how well developed the storyline and characters are becoming in Young Justice. While a great many of the changes I did not see coming, that was the beauty of watching them pan out. I love the development on Miss Martian, Nightwing, Kid Flash, Aqualad etc. I look forward to having a great many of my questions answered, in particular in regards to Kaldur and Kid Flash in the comics/episodes to come.

If there's anything I really miss, it would be the friendship Wally and Richard had in Season 1. However, it's interesting to see that it still withstands, even with all the pressure of Season 2. Their friendship in the older comics, both Flash, Nightwing, Teen Titans etc has made them a favorite of mine and I love the little hints to that friendship that both the comic and the TV show has made. I watch with anticipation each week to see where the plotlines take us. Great job overall to your team Greg!

Hello Mr. Weisman. I really liked Darkest. It had a great plotline and got me on the edge of my seat waiting for the next episode. Anyway, I had a few questions about it.

1. How much control does the Scarab have over Blue Beetle (as shown near the ending)

2. Are the inhibitor collars used to capture the Team the same used in Belle Reve?

3. Did Artemis know about the passage she used to enter the Cave and put the collar on Wolf from when she and Dick used it in Homefront?

4. Why does the Light show their actual faces as opposed to the blurry lighted ones we saw in season 1? ( I had a hunch, but upon further inspection, it turned out to be wrong)

Anyway, I really love Young Justice, and you guys are doing a great job on season 2. Hope things turn out better for the Team in the next episodes. Thanks for answering my questions.

Yolymar writes...

"Darkest" was such an intense episode. I loved it~

As Tigress, Artemis sounded much more deeper than usual. Was this all Stephanie Lemelin's acting skills or was there some editing done to make her sound that way?
