What happened to Gar's pet monkey?
Greg responds...
SPOILER REQUEST. NO COMMENT.
Anonymous writes...
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?
Greg responds...
1. I haven't noticed any significant similarities, but maybe you should ask Phil Bourassa.
2. Yes, Bart is enrolled in school in Central City.
3. Yes.

Why did Miss M not change back to her white form when she puts on the collar?
An Ask Greg Helper responds...
Greg Weisman says:
"Her form is not unstable when she shape-shifts. So when he [Parasite] absorbed her powers, she was weakened and more-or-less stuck. As you may have noticed, she NEVER reverts because she falls asleep or loses consciousness, etc."

I was wonder why wally west is slower in this incarnation compared to Barry and Bart, in the mainstream universe new earth wally is the fastest flash(and possibly the fastest being ever)yet gets lap like its nothing in "bloodline"

Anonymous Writes:
"Why is it that Barry runs at the speed of light and Wally runs at the speed of sound? Was the experiment Wally created done wrong or something like that?"
Greg Weisman says:
"Basically, yes. It blew up the West garage, and Wally was nearly killed in the process. It did not work as well as Barry's."

When is Barbara Gordon/Batgirl's birthday?
An Ask Greg Helper responds...
Greg Weisman says:
"Some of the birthdays of the Team are SPOILER REQUESTS. Others I just haven't needed to figure out yet."

"I generally don't give characters birthdates unless it matters in a specific story."

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.
An Ask Greg Helper responds...
Greg Weisman says:
"We show LGBT characters on the show all the time. We just can't acknowledge it. There's a difference. And I never said the LGBT characters on the show were closeted. I never said anything one way or the other about whether or not they were closeted - or at least, I don't remember saying anything about it. A character like Marie Logan can be out as far as she's concerned, without mentioning it out loud on the series.
And, there. I think I've just answered your question. (See also: Lexington.)"
[Response recorded on March 5, 2013.]
"Okay, I'm pretty sure I NEVER said we were going to acknowledge an lgbt relationship on the show. I'm quite certain that we would not be allowed to on television. NOT ALLOWED. I don't know where you got any other idea. I've been pretty consistent about how I FEEL about this. I think it's cowardly. But I've also admitted that I'm complicit in that cowardice, as I know that if I insisted on bravery - and remained adamant - I would at best be overruled and at worst FIRED. And I need my job. I'm not proud of this, and I'm not happy about it. But that's the current situation. I imagine it does hurt, and I wish I could ameliorate that pain. But at this point in time, I cannot. I'm sorry.
Instead, what I've tried to do is write the characters consistently in the hope that someday things change and that some subtleties put in place now will help in their own small way to inch us forward. I also hope to have more freedom in the YJ companion comic, as comics have a history of being more progressive in this area. But we'll have to see. I'm afraid that for now, that's the best I can do."
[Response recorded on September 18, 2012.]
"Things have progressed... some. But almost not at all in anything perceived as children's programming."

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
An Ask Greg Helper responds...
Greg Weisman says:
"You know, I appreciate the thought, but I DON'T need to know any of this. Earth-16 is NOT in continuity with the New 52. That's NOT a value judgement. It's just a hard fact of when we began and completed production."

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
An Ask Greg Helper responds...
Greg Weisman says:
"I suppose an easier task is listing who I perceive to be the leads this season. So, I'd say the only true leads for the entire season are probably Aqualad, Artemis, Miss Martian, Nightwing and Blue Beetle.
All others, I guess, are supporting players when perceiving the season as a whole, though in individual episodes one or more might have a significant role to play - and even be the lead of that episode. For example, Robin in 'Happy New Year', Wonder Girl in 'Beneath' or Arsenal in 'Satisfaction', etc. Others are always only supporting players.
If that helps any. (None of this is an exact science.)
But as I've said before, the characters used (and the amount of screen time they received) this season were based entirely on STORY. In contrast to Season One, YJ:I was, by design, a STORY-DRIVEN season."

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).
An Ask Greg Helper responds...
Greg Weisman says:
"I don't know. I'm not consulted on scheduling."
[Response recorded on February 23, 2012.]
Greg Weisman says:
"While developing Season One, we had a solid idea of what we had in mind for Season Two - including the time skip. And we had/have solid ideas for Season Three, including another time skip."
[Response recorded on July 17, 2012.]
"We planned on this time jump from day one. Because we knew, again, that if our show's about growing up, then you can't show a character grow up in 6 months' time. So the idea is that our first season told 6 months from July 4th to January 1st. Our second season tells another 6 months from January 1st to July 4th, but there's a 5-year gap in-between that we planned."

Is Virgil Hawkins also from Dakota in Earth-16?
An Ask Greg Helper responds...
VIRGIL: "So yeah, I called them. I left a voicemail asking them to wire money so the four of us can buy bus tickets to Dakota City. It's my hometown."
[From "Young Justice" episode 214, "Runaways." Originally aired February 2, 2013.]
AC writes...
how do you feel About being forced to Rewrite Icon and Rocket out of issues 21-25 of the comic?
if you can say who gave the order? and why?
if left in,how would thy have been used and what would they have done?
An Ask Greg Helper responds...
Greg Weisman says:
"I've already said all I know on this subject. We were told - without explanation - to remove Rocket and Icon from issues 21-25. No one EVER said anything to us about removing Rocket, Icon or Virgil from the television show. It never came up. I DO NOT KNOW ANYTHING ELSE."
[Response recorded on February 26, 2013.]
"After issue 20 was published and after issues 21-24 were written and while I was in the middle of writing 25, I was informed by DC that both Icon and Rocket had to be removed from all of the last five issues. I was never told why. Icon was originally one of Kylstar's 'weapons' and Rocket was originally with Zatanna, Nightwing, Sphere, Wonder Girl and Blue Beetle infiltrating the Collector's vessel."

The Coming Deluge - Yet More Ask Greg Guidelines
The Coming Deluge - Yet More Ask Greg Guidelines
So, I truly hope I'm wrong, but I have to admit I'm anticipating a deluge of questions asking for SPOILERS after the airing of this Saturday's YOUNG JUSTICE: INVASION finale. I understand the impulse: "The television and comic book series are over, so there's no reason for him to hold back anymore! It means anything and everything are now fair game! He can never say 'SPOILER REQUEST. NO COMMENT.' again"
But, see, that's not how I feel about it. So here's why, and here's how that should guide your future questions at ASK GREG:
1. Let's start here: OBJECTIVELY we're not over. YOUNG JUSTICE: LEGACY is due out in the fall, and it will contain new content - a SUBSTANTIAL amount of new CANON story content, based on ideas suggested to Little Orbit by Brandon Vietti and myself, and all vetted after the fact by us, as well, to make sure everything from dialogue to timestamps is consistent with the property as a whole. Now, LEGACY is set during the five-year-gap. So I'm not going to be inclined to answer questions that require me to reveal things that happened during our time skip. And not just Legacy related stuff either, because if I answer some questions about the gap but refuse to answer others, I'll be de facto spoiling. That I will not do, so please refrain from asking questions about the missing five years.
2. If I've learned anything from the long haul on GARGOYLES, it's that things sometimes DO come back. So SUBJECTIVELY I don't feel like we're over either. I still have hopes - however slim - of returning to Earth-16 one day. So there are secrets that I still may want to keep. Particularly about "Season Three". I'm not saying I'll never reveal anything. Sometimes a tidbit here or there helps keep fan interest alive. But I'm not going to wholesale give away the plans that Brandon and I came up with for what happens next. In general, I'm much more inclined to clarify what's already been shown then reveal what hasn't been shown. So try focusing your questions on what's aired or seen print and try to refrain from asking What Happens Next questions. When I feel like revealing something, I will.
3. ASK GREG is NOT a good format for me to tell creative stories. Any question, wherein the answer could fill an entire issue of a comic book or an entire episode of a television series or MORE will not be answered, because I will not short-change a story with a quick response, and I will not tell a story here at ASK GREG. So try to refrain from asking questions that would take an entire issue or episode to answer.
4. Brandon and I have many, many ideas for what happened before Season One, a few still left for what happened during Season One, many for what happened between seasons (including but not limited to Legacy), many ideas for stuff that happened off-camera during Season Two, tons of ideas for Season Three, and many, many, many ideas for beyond Season Three. BUT... ideas minus execution are subject to tremendous second-guessing. So I'm not inclined to give you new content. If I had told you before Season One that Red Arrow was the mole, minus how we executed that plot, it might have seemed quite weak. It's the execution that demonstrates whether or not an idea shines. And frankly, I don't need the second guessing and, well, nastiness that the internet encourages. So that's just another reason to refrain from asking what else we might have planned.
5. I will not lie to you here at ASK GREG, per this post: http://www.s8.org/gargoyles/askgreg/search.php?rid=982 . But I also will not state things that I believe to be true if stating those things will pretty much guarantee that I won't ever work in this town again. I have a mortgage to pay and kids to feed and clothe, etc. So you will not see me bad-mouthing companies in this public space. So please refrain from asking questions that would force me to do that. The best you'll get is no response.
6. Keep in mind, I answer questions because I like to be in touch with the fans, and I think it's fun for us all. But that doesn't mean I somehow OWE you an answer. The more entitled you think you are to the answer, (I can all but guarantee) the less inclined I'll be to respond in any useful way. Maybe that's me being needlessly contrary, but I'm just going to admit up front that it rubs me the wrong way. So tonally, try to avoid a sense of entitlement in your questions.
All this is IN ADDITION to the FOURTEEN guidelines already posted here: http://www.s8.org/gargoyles/askgreg/ask.php I'll admit that these six new guidelines are perhaps even more subjective than the previous fourteen, but I guarantee you that we'll all be happier if you stick to them. And the happier I am, the more likely that I'll drop the occasional surprise here and there. Whereas, the more assaulted I feel, the more likely I am to get annoyed and clam up about everything. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!
Otherwise... thanks for stopping by. Seriously. The dark days at ASK GREG seem to have passed for the most part, and most days I enjoy doing it again. I just want to keep it that way. Thanks.

how long were Dick and Rocket together?

SPOILER REQUEST. NO COMMENT.

When Dick and Rocket were dating, who was interested in who first?
and was Dick actually interested in her or was she just a rebound because of Zatanna?
Greg responds...
1. I don't tell stories here at ASK GREG, and I don't reveal things that would be better told in a story.
2. This question assumes facts not in evidence, which I will neither confirm or deny. But, of course, Dick was interested in Raquel while they were together.

How does Wonder Girl see Blue Beetle? Does she find him attractive like he finds her attractive?
Greg responds...
I'll leave that to your imagination.

Which characters can you tell us are supporting characters?
Greg responds...
Wow, it's a weird day here at ASK GREG. I don't understand this question either. Supporting characters are, I suppose, by definition, any character that is significant (i.e. not a small bit part) but also not a lead. Deciding who is a lead vs. supporting is often subjective, but is most often based on (a) who has an important emotional arc in a story and (b) to a certain extent, screen time.
So given all that, why do you need me to create a long list of who the supporting characters are? What am I going to tell you that you can't figure out yourself?
I suppose an easier task is listing who I perceive to be the leads this season. So, I'd say the only true leads for the entire season are probably Aqualad, Artemis, Miss Martian, Nightwing and Blue Beetle.
All others, I guess, are supporting players when perceiving the season as a whole, though in individual episodes one or more might have a significant role to play - and even be the lead of that episode. For example, Robin in "Happy New Year", Wonder Girl in "Beneath" or Arsenal in "Satisfaction", etc. Others are always only supporting players.
If that helps any. (None of this is an exact science.)
But as I've said before, the characters used (and the amount of screen time they received) this season were based entirely on STORY. In contrast to Season One, YJ:I was, by design, a STORY-DRIVEN season.

Did M'gaan's usage of her powers cause tension with anyone on the team other than Conner?
Greg responds...
No, because they were unaware that she was abusing those powers.
Anon writes...
You said that Raquel and Kaldur dated for a little while, but it didn't stick. Was it because Tula was possibly involved in their relationship? It seemed he was still in love with her (according to Wally during his confrontation with Nightwing at the Hall of Justice) Or was it just because their relationship lost spark?
Greg responds...
It depends what you mean by "involved," I guess. Tula was with Garth during that period. Beyond that, it's a SPOILER REQUEST. NO COMMENT.

How did Green Arrow react when Artemis and Wally started dating?
How did Flash react when Artemis and Wally started dating?

I'm sure both of them were fine with it. Two nice kids start dating? Who'd complain? (Or am I missing something?)
