Does Artemis Box? And also will we get to see her use boxing glove arrows?

Greg responds...

1. A bit. She's more of a kick-boxer and mix-martial artist.

2. Nope.

Hello Greg.i would like to ask a few questions about your job because i am interested in going into the directing business.
1. What exactly is your job(the name of your job)?
2. Do you enjoy it?Do you ever get bored?
3. What did you have to study in college for this job?
4. What would you say are the most useful school subjects that should be learnt for this job?
I appreciate if you could answer these questions. And you are also a role model for me and i really love Young Justice.

Greg responds...

1. My title is Producer. And sometimes I'm also the Writer. And even, on occasion, an Actor. I'm also the Story Editor - but that's pretty much covered by my Producer credit.

2. I do enjoy it, and I NEVER get bored, but I do get very, very tired sometimes. Exhausted even. Our schedules can be brutal.

3. I don't know if I "had" to study this, but my B.A. is in English with an emphasis in Creative Writing. My Masters is in Professional Writing, with an emphasis on Play Writing. Plus I studied a bunch of other things too, including history, languages, a little bit of physics and math, etc. And a lot of literature - and Shakespeare, in particular.

4. Learn to read critically. Learn to write. Learn to PROOFREAD!!! Learn to rewrite and revise. Etc.

1.Since Wally is turning 16 in the episode coldhearted and the show is going along with 2010s calendar, does that mean he was born in 1994?
2.(a)When's Artemis' birthday?Has it passed?
(b)If it has passed, does that mean she is also 16 or is she a year younger than Wally(born in 1995)?

Greg responds...

1. Unofficially, yes.

2a. SPOILER REQUEST. NO COMMENT.

2b. She is still 15 at the end of Season One.

Hi, Greg! :) Me and my family love this show. I talk about it all the time during shcool. All the heroes you show in Young Justice had convinsed me to buy my first comic book (the new 52 made it really easier, though!!!) Thank you for answering these questions and um I'm really really sorry if these questions are too spoiler-ish or if they have been answered before...

1. To my wiki knowledge, I don't think Megan has ever been with Superboy. Or Wally with Artemis. What made you choose these two people to go together. Basically, what made you decide on the pairings?

2. Does Artemis have a mentor bond with Green Arrow, or is the niese thing just a cover and that's it?

3. Were the main team's personalities made just for the show or were they influensced by the comics? Because I googled Superboy once and he was shown to be really outgoing and cheerful, which surprised me.

4. Captain Marvel shocked me when he transformed into a kid maybe even younger than me1! He's so cool. But when I searched his name in wiki, it said he has a twin sister and a lot of sidekicks and goes to an orphanage school (thats so sad!). In the show, though, he lives with an uncle(?) I think. So, um, where is Captain Marvel timeline-wise? Was this when he was already adopted and before he found his sister?

Thank you very much for your time!

Greg responds...

1. Felt right to us.

2. The niece thing was a cover, but they did quickly develop a mentor/protegee bond, which you'll see more of if you pick up our companion comic book, particularly in issue #16.

3. Both.

4. SPOILER REQUEST. NO COMMENT.

Are Superman and Wonder Woman in a relationship on this earth?

Greg responds...

Is it really any of your business? Can't their private lives remain private. ;)

Or if you prefer a serious answer: SPOILER REQUEST. NO COMMENT.

Belle Rave's Wall made from Krytonite &/or Lead

Greg responds...

No Kryptonite. There may be lead mixed into the steel alloy. I don't know.

1.) How well known are Bruce Wayne and Dick Grayson? To clarify, would they be easily recognized if someone happened to pass them on the street or are they mostly out of the limelight?
2.) Was Bruce Wayne's adoption of Dick Grayson well-publicized?
3.) What is Bruce Wayne's position in Wayne Enterprises? Does he have controlling stock?

Greg responds...

1. Bruce Wayne is a public figure - though hardly a Hollywood star type. Dick is pretty much unknown.

2. Not particularly.

3. He's CEO, but not COO. And, I'd think so.

Hey Greg Why are you trying Kid Flash with Artemis since we all know who she really is it more likey end up with Icicle Jr?

Greg responds...

You seem to be assuming that what took place in the main DCU is a lock for Earth-16. And that's just not so. Heck, it doesn't even seem to be the case for the new 52 Universe.

Hello, Mr. Weisman.

My questions today are more closely related to television programming. So here goes.

1. Have you viewed the new ThunderCats on Cartoon Network that debuted last year? Assuming so, what did you think of it?

2. Have you viewed any of the original episodes of the ThunderCats cartoon? Assuming so, what is your opinion of the old show, and how do you think it compares to the latest incarnation?

3.The original ThunderCats cartoon met the 65 mark episode needed to go into syndication, and produced episodes beyond it. While many of the new episodes were entertaining, I could not help but notice, in my opinion, a decline in certain qualities of the show. One of the areas hit hardest, in my opinion, was the writing in the episodes. This seemed to manifest itself in terms of more predictable scenarios occurring, less creative solutions to the problems that arose and eventually lackluster storylines. ThunderCats wasn’t the only show to suffer from this though. Cartoons like Captain Planets, which also surpassed the 65-episode mark, began to experience a bit of a lag, and lost many of the original voice actors/actresses who made their characters so exceptional.
4. So my question is what exactly happens to a show behind the scenes after moving beyond syndication? Is a show’s storyline only plotted out for 65 episodes and not expected to pass it? Or does the writing team have to brainstorm an entirely new set of ideas for episodes beyond? Are new writers assigned to the program or the old ones retained? Are the initial voice actors/actresses replaced with new people, choose not to renew their contract or different causes altogether?

Thanks for the time.

Greg responds...

1. I haven't had time to see it, but I really like the people involved with it.

2. I did a long time ago, when I was working on a single script for a different reboot that didn't see the light of day. But you need to understand that I never saw it when it first came on, so I have no nostalgia for it.

3. I just have no opinion on this. I only saw a handful of episodes.

4. Every case is different. And obviously, I have no idea what went on with ThunderCats.

and another comment about "misplaced". that scene where zatanna/nabu says "no" to zatara's request to release her... it's been a long time since any animated show has made me go "wow". who storyboarded that shot of her? it was perfect from the tilt of her head to her stone cold eyes.

Greg responds...

There's just no way for me to remember specifically, I'm afraid. But the credited board artists for 119 were: Charles E. Drost, III, Paul Harmon and Jeff Johnson, and the credited revisionist was Owen Sullivan. Throw in director MIchael Chang and Producer Brandon Vietti, and the odds are that one of those six talented people (plus the animators) gave you your "wow"!
