i just have one question. was artemis angry or jealous on wally for hitting on megan in coldhearted.
A little jealous, a little annoyed.
Hi Greg! I absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE Young Justice, and I can't wait for more!
One quick question regarding "Coldhearted";
1) When Artemis told Wally that M'gann and Superboy were dating, was what she whispered ever scripted, if so, what did she say?
Thanks again, love the show, and keep up the excellent work!
1. It wasn't scripted. I'll leave her exact words to your imagination. (The last thing I need is another Titania/Fox conundrum.)
How did Cameron's dad got his Ice making tech back in the 40's?
He's a genius in his field.
Do you have Zatanna and Zatara's voice actors say their spells forward and then rewind them in post or are they actually saying the spells backwards without help?
They speak 'em backwards. It's fun to watch. We laugh a lot.
Greetings, Mr. Weisman. Allow me to compliment this wonderful series known as Young Justice you and your team have created. Every episode seems to leave me on the edge of my seat. I only have three questions to ask.
1. The design of the Wayne Manor exterior is amazing. I fell in love with it the moment I saw it, both in Issue #0 and onscreen in "Downtime." I'm curious, though. Was your design influence by other incarnations of the manor (such as the live action movies and tv shows and the various animated series) or is this an original design?
2. In "Infiltrated," the League of Shadows attempted to steal knowledge from Wayne Tech. And in Issue #12, Clayface was delivered to the Wayne Foundation. a) Is Wayne Tech a single company, or is it part of the much larger Wayne Enterprises? b) The Wayne Foundation is a charity building and therefore separate from Wayne Tech, correct?
3. Also in reference to Issue #12, I'm not sure if I'm just slow or if it wasn't supposed to be obvious, or perhaps I'm just way off my mark here, but would I be right in assuming that Lucius Fox does not know the true identities of Batman and Robin?
1. This is really more of a question for Brandon Vietti. I was shown the design and said "Cool!"
2. WayneTech is a division of Wayne Enterprises. The Wayne Foundation charity is a separate entity.
3. He does not.
I have recently been very interested in following up a lot of the historical references that were shown to me from Gargoyles. Especially the stories of Macbeth, Gillecomgain and the rest of the Scottish history as well as the story in the SLG comics about the Stone of Destiny. Upon further research, I can see that all of these characters and all the historical references are based on true historical events. You must have spent a great deal of time researching all this information.
My question is: What made you go into so much detail about the history of Scotland and Britain and was it through mere interest or just following up from where you decided to initially place the Gargoyles at Castle Wyvern in Scotland?
I have learnt SO much about my own nation's (Scottish) history from following up references from Gargoyles. Information that I would have never been remotely interested in learning if it wasn't presented to me by Gargoyles. I think it is amazing what you did with Gargoyles. I only wish that you could do even more!!
Initially, it was more the latter. Eventually, it became the former.
BTW, I had much help on the research. Back in the days of the original series, Monique Beatty and Tuppence Macintyre were both invaluable. When working on the comic, I couldn't have done it without Kathy Pogge.
I have to say, Young Justice is one of the best television shows I've seen in a while... The writing, character development and overall tone of the show are both refreshing and very engaging.
1. How exactly did Billy convince Amber to fly him to Happy Harbour?
2. How far is Fawcett City from Happy Harbour?
3. In Misplaced we see a framed photograph of Billy and his uncle Dudley at the park, and uncle Dudley is still wearing that vest... Why is uncle Dudley always in that vest?
4. Did becoming Captain Marvel make Billy lose friends?
Keep making amazing episodes; your work on this property and gargoyles inspire me!
Thanks
1. Pure earnestness.
2. Check out the timezones.
3. Do you mean his t-shirt?
4. I don't understand this question.
How many "Authorized Guests" are there?
SPOILER REQUEST. NO COMMENT.
Did Adrian Pasdar and Khary Payton really only have one line in Misplaced, or did they provide grunts too?
In "Misplaced"? Khary had 19 lines. And Adrian wasn't in it at all.
If you mean "Coldhearted", Khary had two lines as Aqualad, one as Brick and three as State Trooper #1. Adrian had two lines as Hugo Strange, two as National Guardsman #1 and 2 as Chicago Cop #1.
And for the record, Miguel Ferrer had 2 lines as National Guardsman #2. Cree Summer had one line as Highway Patrolman #1, which we had to pitch WAY down, because the animation came back with the speaker being a male patrolman instead of the female patrolwoman we had called for.
Hello Mr. Greg Weisman,
This is my second attempt at posting #12; this will be part A of the posting. Honestly, I don't know what I did wrong to get my posting deleted. I looked it up just to be safe to see if it was approved and it wasn't there... I'll give you the first five questions, which were in regards to the highly anticipated Young Justice: Invasion. PLEASE understand that NONE of these questions are asking for sensitive information (ie. the overall plot, episode summaries, etc.). All these questions that I give you are asked in a careful manner so that there would be no risk of leaking any sensitive information whatsoever. If any of them do, just ignore that specific question. Besides, I'm guessing by the time you respond to this, Season One will be officially over, and we'll be waiting for months with anticipation for Season Two, so hopefully no harm should be done in this posting. So here we go, again!
1. By the time Season One of Young Justice is over, what is moral of the entire season that we will have learned? For Season Two, what is the moral we are expected to learn? There's always something important to learn; that's the fact of life.
2. If the theme of Season One is all about secrets and lies, then what is the theme that we should expect from Season Two? I'm guessing that while it's different from that of Season One, it's just as equally important.
3. From a list of adjectives, which are the best examples to describe the upcoming Season Two? (ie. heart-pounding? exciting?)
4. From a list of adjectives, which are the best examples to describe the positions of each of the members of The Team (where they stand) as they transition from the events of Season One to the events of the upcoming Season Two? (ie. depressing? heart-breaking?)
5. From a list of adjectives, which are the best examples to describe what the fansâ expectations for the upcoming Season Two should be? The nature of this question should not be confused with that of question #3; they are NOT the same. (ie. thrilled?)
Hope it all works out this time. Keep up the good work, and keep making Young Justice the best DC animated cartoon it can be! I have absolute confidence in your abilities and those of your co-workers! Believe it!
1a. I think the assumption within the question is overly simplistic. There are some basic themes to the series as a whole, and some obvious morals one could draw from events, but that's not the type of show we're writing here.
1b. There IS always something important to learn, but I'm going to let you take from the series what you take from it. I'm not going to dictate a moral. And OBVIOUSLY, if I did have a moral for Season Two, I sure wouldn't tell it to you now: SPOILER REQUEST. NO COMMENT.
2. It's still secrets and lies: that's the major theme for the SERIES, not just a single season. Other themes include (but are not limited to) "Growing Up" and "Coming of Age".
3. I'll let you pick your own.
4. CGYJ, you MUST see that this single question 4 is at least eight questions at once. And in any case, I'm not answering it. This forum is NOT designed for me to interpret your viewing experience. You can do that without me.
5. I get that it's a different question, I just don't get why GREG WEISMAN should be answering it. How can I dictate fan expectations?
Are Flash and/or Kid Flash capable of doing relatively complicated things at super-speed? Could they use their speed, for example, to assemble a store-bought bookcase or put together a jigsaw puzzle?
One more question, can you provide or link to some sort of map or floor plan of the cave?
1. Flash MIGHT be able to. But Kid Flash's speed is all about acceleration and deceleration. I'm not saying he couldn't do it faster than, say, Artemis. But he's not going to do it in a split-second.
2. Nope. That's proprietary.
Did you name the London Clan's magic shop, Into the Mystic, after the Van Morrison song?
I didn't name it. I assume either Gary Sperling or Robert Cohen named it.
Batman said that it took eight leaguers four hours to beat amazo, but superboy, robin and kid flash were able to beat him on their own and im assumming based on the time of day that they did it in alot less than four hours, so whats up with that?
What's up with that is Ivo's presence, obviously. With the Team, Amazo was hampered by having to protect Ivo. With the League, Ivo wasn't there.
How are you?
A little stressed actually. I have oral surgery tomorrow, and I'm not looking forward to it.
Hi Greg.
A couple of Coldhearted questions:
I noticed Aquaman and Aqualad seemed to have little protection from the cold compared to the members of the Team. Was this a deliberate choice to show that they and other Atlanteans have a resilience to cold temperatures?
It was implied that the Zeta tube system could reach Seattle if it was active. Just how widespread is the system? Does it focus on the home cities of League and Team members, and other large American cities? Can it reach large foreign cities?
So far we have seen stealth outfits and arctic outfits. Will we see other alternate
uniforms as the series progresses?
Compliments on another great episode.
1. Yes.
2. The network includes most major cities in the U.S. and scattered cities throughout the world.
3. SPOILER REQUEST. NO COMMENT.
Hey Greg why your not consulted on Scheduling
I'm not important enough in the grand scheme, I guess.
Though I haven't seen "Coldhearted" yet, I've read a bit about it, and learned that Perdita originated in a Green Arrow story that you wrote a couple of years ago, meaning that you created the character. Did you name her after the Perdita of "The Winter's Tale"? (I thought it likely, given your fondness for Shakespeare, but wanted to make certain.)
Yes. The Lost Girl.
How did Ra's Al Ghul find the lazarus pit or pits?
SPOILER REQUEST. NO COMMENT.
Are you aware of blogs like this: http://goonasktheteam.tumblr.com ?
Do you think they're a nuisance? If not do you think they stay true to the characters?
I guess I'm not aware. So, clearly it's not a nuisance - but I have no idea if they're true to the characters or not.
now that Zatanna lives in the cave, does she go to Happy Harbor High?
SPOILER REQUEST. NO COMMENT.
I love Demona from Gargoyles and I love kickass redheads. I'm just curious, what was Demona's favourite century to live in?
I don't know. She probably THINKS that she thinks that the tenth century was the best.
First off, I'd like to thank you for a great run on shows. I've been a fan since I was watching Gargoyles as a kid.
Second, I have just one question for you. In some versions of the character, Captain Marvel is shown to have the six figures that empower him communicating him after he transforms into the Big Red Cheese. Whether it's actual conversations, general feelings, talking to him in Billy's dreams, or just whispering advice and commands into his head, it's there. Then again, in some versions there isn't any kind of communication and they just give him their powers.
Does this occur in this version of the good Captain?
SPOILER REQUEST. NO COMMENT.
Hi Greg.
I have three questions concerning Revelation.
1. It was only after Ivy's plant was blown up by Robin, that Count Vertigo gave orders to kill the team. Obvious reason aside (we won't have a show if he killed them at the start), why did he bother to take them prisoner? Assuming he planned to use them as superhuman shields against the JLA, why did the calculus change once the plant was gone? Wouldn't the team be more valuable as hostages to use as a bargaining chip for safe passage?
2. You have provided a list of incantations in a previous post (http://www.s8.org/gargoyles/askgreg/search.php?qid=13947), but it does not include the spell Wotan used to strengthen Ivy's baby. I am hearing "Ra letu do, ut seo!" which Google Translate renders as "Bestow death's role as a sphere", but I would love some official confirmation.
3. "Coldhearted" shows Count Vertigo calling in favors from the Light, presumably in exchange for services rendered in Revelation. Vandal Savage's personal involvement implies that Vertigo was fully aware of his acting as a proxy for the Light. Events in "Misplaced" indicate Wotan was aware of this as well, since he was aiding Klarion. Were the other conspirators (Black Adam, Poison Ivy, Atomic Skull, Ultra-Humanite, and especially Joker) aware of this as well?
Thanks!
1. I'll chose to leave this to your interpretation.
2. The spell was "Valetudo ut sero!" I can't seem to find the translation at the moment.
3. SPOILER REQUEST. NO COMMENT.
Hi Greg!
I just finished watching Coldhearted, and thought it was great (as was Misplaced, BTW... loved Billy). I was expecting Wally to have a bigger reaction to the reveal of Miss M and Superboy's relationship, but this made perfect sense, demonstrating the superficiality of his feelings. The episode's final act was especially well-written, I thought... I was suckered into believed that the queen was dead BOTH times! My only small complaint is Wally's final line... bit of a groaner. But he is kind of a cheeseball, so I guess it fits.
A couple questions:
1. Do Conner Kent and Megan Morse have legal guardians? If so, can you tell us who they are?
2. I assume you get first dibs on which episodes you get to write. Were there any you were especially excited about? Were there any you wanted to write but couldn't, for whatever reason?
Thanks for your time!
1. ASKED AND ANSWERED.
2. ASKED AND ANSWERED.
Is there any character from a comic, book, movie, or other form of media that you just don't like but everyone else seems to?
Yes.
What other subjects was Conner "taught" while he was at CADMUS?
I'm not providing a list, but he's well-versed in history, geography, mathematics, languages and the sciences, etc.
Hey Greg I'm a huge fan of your work and
I'm a huge fan of the spectacular spiderman
out of curiousity could you tell me what would have happens in season 3
if the show had continued I'd really appriciated

Even if the season 2 vol1 didn't sell very many copies doesn't mean you can't release the rest of the season there are people out there who would buy the rest of the seasons like myself I Love gargoyles an I wish you would have released these an you still should right now you can't watch them anywhere except on tv an they come on at 4 in the morning that's unfair. If you could please release DVDs of gargoyles season 2 vol2 an season 3 the chronicles of Goliath please it would be greatly appreciated..!!

Allow me to shower you with praise. Coldhearted was excellent. I cannot believe I ignored this show until my nephew wanted to watch it one day. At first I was skeptical, that "just another kid cartoon" feeling, so I was only half paying attention. But something got to me and I started watching it seriously. And now, here I am, looking forward to it every week with enough enthusiasm to now get me out of bed on a Saturday morning. Cartoon Network needs to stop throwing hiatuses at you, this show is too good for that.
My nephew is five and loves the show too, though he doesn't always understand what's going on. But, he's five, so I do my best to explain things in ways he can understand. I'm glad there's a show that he likes that enriches him rather than just keeps him occupied, and it's something we can watch together(seriously, most of his other shows make me want to pull my hair out)
So thank you for making this show.
You're very welcome!
Firstly, I would like to say I am a Brobdingnagian fan of Young Justice. My best friend calls my adoration for your show a disturbing obsession, I chose to ignore that interruption because it implies that my love for the show is somehow unhealthy, and that's just ridiculous. After all my best friend also questioned my love of W.I.T.C.H, so clearly he can't understand. But on a serious note, I am truly grateful for all the work and creativity you and your team put into the show. As someone who grew on the Justice League Unlimited am so glad there is finally a show like it, but yet so different and fresh. The quality of the writing and animation make Young Justice so much more than just a cartoon, it is quality storytelling and a heck of a good time.
My question is on the Young Justice comic tie-ins. During the break between season 1 and season 2, will the comic continue coming out or will it also take a break?
On a side note, am from a small country called Zambia in Southern Africa; so Mr Weisman, take pride in knowing that even in this small corner of the world, your show has an obsessed fanboy.
There really was - as it turns out - any break between the airing of Seasons One and Two. The comic's still going, break free also.
And thanks!
So I saw recent promotional (obviously preliminary and non-canon, I have read your previous posts) artwork. I am impressed.
The rest of this season and next are going to be AWESOME, aren't they?
I like to think so.
Hello Greg! I was wondering, how exactly did Kid Flash and Artemis end up in that shack in the first place? (in Bereft)
After getting zapped, they stumbled off into the desert. KF woke up first and found this masked girl (Artemis) unconscious in the desert, so he pulled her into the shack to get her (and him) out of the heat.
Who are the light archenemies?
I don't understand the question.
If we had seen Wally open his presents in "Coldhearted," what would he have received?
I'll leave that to your imagination.
were the ice "fortresses" in Coldhearted named after Fortress-1 and Fortress-2?
Not particularly, but maybe that was in my subconscious somewhere.
I loved 'Misplaced', I think it was the best episode of the series yet. Some questions about it then.
1) In 'Misplaced', there's a scene where Billy Batson climbs a fence to get in that airbase... and then the 'camera' zooms out, and we see there's a wide-open door to that fence, only 10 meters away or so.
I laughed out loud when I noticed it, but if it was intentional it was played so subtly that I didn't *actually* notice it when I first watched the ep.
So my question: Was that an intentional visual joke, or just a goof of the animation?
2) Was the character of Amber a pre-existing character from the Captain Marvel comics, or a new creation?
3) Was she friends/acquaintances with Billy Batson, or did he just meet her in the ep?
1. Of course, it was intentional.
2. She was pre-existing, though not from Captain Marvel comics specifically.
3. SPOILER REQUEST. NO COMMENT.
Hi, firstly I wanted to say I really love the series and YJ has come back with two great episodes! Misplaced and Coldhearted were wonderful, and I loved how you developed the relationship between Zatanna and Zatarra, as well as getting a more indepth look into Wally. So excited for the rest of the season!
I have one question, I read somewhere that the story taking place in Young Justice would take place over a few days in-universe, is this true? I'm not really sure if this counts as requesting a spoiler (which probably sound stupid), but if so then I apologise.
If you've been watching the series, you KNOW that the first season took place over a single period of six months, between Independence Day and New Year's Eve.
And as I've already stated here and in the press, the second season ALSO takes place over a coherent six month period: between New Years Day and Independence Day. It's just that five years pass in between the two six month periods.
And I'm warning you now: our plans for Season Three - if we get one - involve another time skip between the last episode of Season Two and the first of Season Three. Though, I'm not going to state how long a time skip. (So don't ask.)
Dear Greg, Just watched the newest episode of YJ off dvr today, and wow that was good. First off, thank you for finally clueing Wally in to Conner & Megan's relatuionship, and for giving him some real growth this episode. I mean, he's fun and all, I love him, but he needed this episode. And I like the return of Vandal & Vertigo, awesome. Please keep up the good work!
Thanks!
1. What happened to Blackbriar Thorn, Felex Faust, Wizard, and Wotan at the end of Misplaced?
2. Do the Green Lantern's on Earth have a distinct style of how they use their constructs? If so how would you describe them.
3. Does the Brain have a hero/heroine that he goes up against more often then he does others?
1. Doctor Fate went off with them.
2. To some extent.
2a. I'll let the show speak for itself on this point.
3. This question makes me shrug.
Two things:
1. Who was the cop so eager to see the Flash (I assume he thought it was the Flash) in Chicago?
2. I'm really enjoying that you set the actions in specific dates. For example, now I know Wally is fellow Scorpio! (My birthday is November 5th which also happens to be the date of Misplaced, my favorite episode so far)
1. Are you talking about the two National Guardsmen outside Chicago?
2. Most (though not all) of the dates are the birthdates or anniversaries, etc. of my relatives.
I noticed that on this week's Young Justice episode "Coldhearted" that Batman explained that Green Lanterns Hal Jordan and John Stewart were 'offworld' and unable to help. Now that there's a GL:TAS airing with YJ on DC Nation, are you prevented from using GL associated characters on YJ? If so, is it a similar situation to the 'bat embargo' that was placed on Justice League Unlimited when The Batman started airing?
No, not at all. There's no embargo. I'll admit that we often use the excuse (especially in Season One) of our Lanterns being offworld - but it's because they're SO powerful, they could potentially solve all problems between the two of them. But I also feel in-universe justified about this, because they have an entire sector to police, not just Earth.
where were all the ice fortresses located, hovering over particular cities? or were they mobile to cover more ground. was the entire USA covered, or only the northern half?
I think all that information is IN the episode itself, between dialogue and timestamps. (And all I'd be doing is going through the script and looking at dialogue and timestamps, so I think you can manage it by looking at the episode.)
Pretty much all of North America's weather patterns were affected between the antics of the five fortresses.
In downtime, it was revealed that Aqualad does not live in Atlantis since joining the team. I was wondering, where does he live while on the surface? cuz it was never implied that he lives in mount justice and I dont believe that he does.
And i was also wondering, why didn't he just remain in Atlantis and continue his studies there, inbetween his missions? Everyone except Miss M and Superboy still live in their homes, continue their schoolwork, and can travel via Zeta tubes to the base. Why can't Aqualad also stay in Atlantis, practice in his sourcery school, and travel via Zeta tubes to the base, when almost all the other members already do that already?

If spectacular spider-man continued would you have mention any other Marvel heroes like the fantastic four?
Greg Weisman says:
"I would like to do the occasional team-up. I think I've mentioned Spidey/Human Torch and Spidey/Hulk in the past, just to start with. But one or two per season is plenty for me. I've got more than enough to explore in Spidey's corner of the Marvel Universe."

You said the scars on Vandal Savage's face were part of Phil's original design. Did HE find influence in the Hunters from Gargoyles or not? Or do you not know?
Greg Weisman says:

After the events of "Misplaced" does Zatara receive a new Justice League identification number, now that he is Doctor Fate?
COMPUTER: "Recognized...Icon, Two-Zero. Doctor Fate, One-Seven. Captain Marvel, One-Five."
[From "Young Justice" episode 126, "Auld Acquaintance." Originally aired April 21, 2012.]
Alright, I'm probably overthinking this, but I was curious about how the spell in "Misplaced" worked. It split the world into two dimensions, one for adults and one for children. I assumed it was based on physical difference (which is why the ageless Klarion ended up with the children and Billy-as-Captain-Marvel went with the adults). But Amber switching over at midnight once she turned 18 seemed to throw that out the window. So, was it simply psychological? Did Klarion and the others designate 18 as an arbitrary "cutoff point" for adulthood when casting? Or is it something else entirely?
(Again, probably overthinking, but it's been bothering me. Oh, and great job on the show, of course. I'm really loving it!)

[Response recorded on May 14, 2012.]
Okay, just saw Image.....and it sort of showed that Megan was not the mole that Sportsmaster and the Light mentioned, yet Queen Bee seems to be trying, as Megan did not say yes or no.....to get her own. Does that mean that the Light is trying to rip the team apart themselves....with their own moles? And, if this shows that Megan is not the mole........then who is? The last one is retorical, as I know you will not say.
Um....is it too much to ask as to possibly verify that Megan was not the mole that Sportsmaster and the Light said so earlier?

hey greg let me down the big fan of your shop I was wondering since we seen kid flash get his own little episode and we're going to see it miss martian Artemis and Connor get own episodes will we see robin get his little episode as well ? Robin first introduced me into the super hero world and so I am I really like and then you've done a really great job bringing jesse mccartney into it and it's superb. it seems like you're not using him as much as the other members came and robin is just so great how you've created him I wanna see more and more of robin that's my question will we see more Robin ? thank you
for you to answer this if you don't you're busy and so I understand. please I'm sorry if this is a spoiler but I didn't think it would be so thank you for reading

"Hey gang,
This coming Saturday, April 7th on Cartoon Network's DC NATION is episode 124 of YOUNG JUSTICE: 'Performance.' It's focus is on Robin, his origins and one of his oldest friends.

Hello Greg,
First let me say that I love Young Justice. My question is: Does the Bialya Queen Bee we see on the show have any powers?
Greg Weisman says:
"She made the master villain list, and she seemed to be a nice fit with the others. Much as I love Marina, casting didn't play into it at that stage. Her being the dictator of a country, HER POWERS, her being female all played in."
[Response recorded on April 12, 2012. Emphasis added by moderator.]
Hello Greg,
In "Coldhearted", Batman mentioned that "both Green Lanterns were offworld". But we have seen three Green Lanterns. John Stewart in multiple episode, Guy Gardner in "Revelation", and Hal Jordan in the simulation in "Failsafe". You could also count Alan Scott from flashbacks. Could he have meant that there are two Green Lanterns that are officially part of the JLA? Could it be because Batman does not like one of the Green Lanterns, a "One-Punch incident"? Or could it be a mistake by one of the scriptwriters?
Greg Weisman says:
"Guy's not a member of the League, and Batman has no jurisdiction over him or consistent way to track his whereabouts, especially if Guy's offworld."
[Response recorded on May 10, 2012.]
Hello, there!
Your works never stop to amaze me.
I have a question, though:
In the episode 20 of Young Justice we see an attempt against princess Perdita's live by her uncle, Count Vertigo. But we do see another attempt against her in the Green Arrow Showcase that accompanies Superman/Batman: Apocalypse. My question is: Does this two murder attempts occur in the same universe (and by extent, the Supes/Bats movie), Earth-16?
Thank you for your attention, keep up the good work!
Greg Weisman says:
"Yes and no. The short isn't canon, but the Earth-16 version of those events will eventually appear in our companion comic."
[Response recorded on May 8, 2012.]
How old is Serifan?
How old is Dreamer?
How old is Beluga Boy?
How old is Commissioner Gordon?
How old is T.O. Morrow?
Thx!
Serifan and Dreamer are New Gods. Ages don't apply.
Beluga Boy was a background character, not on my list or timeline. I don't have an age for him.
James Gordon is 49 in "Misplaced".
The real T.O. Morrow is 100 in "Humanity" and "Insecurity".
1. How did scott, stewart, and gardner got their rings and who cureently has scott's ring?
2. How did sportsmaster get involved with the league of shadows and are he and the riddler friends and have they ever fought batman?
1. SPOILER REQUEST. NO COMMENT.
2. SPOILER REQUEST. NO COMMENT.
2a. They seem to get along well enough.
2b. SPOILER REQUEST. NO COMMENT.
Hi Greg,
Loving Young Justice up here in Canada!!! We are expecting our first son in April and I have all the episodes taped for when he is old enough to watch them.
My question is how often do you receive feedback from the Cartoon Network? When would you know whether to begin on season 3? Keep up the awesome work!
We receive feedback from Cartoon Network all the time, but 'feedback' and a 'pick-up' are two different things. In theory, they could pick the show up at any time, but I don't expect any definitive answer for weeks, if not months.
how can perdida be queen at 10? does she have regents? should not vertigo be one of them?
is vltaba absolute monarchy or consitutinoal?
is vertigo her fathers brother?
is the sohwcase of green arrow canon in young justice
why does she look difrent?
1. She inherited the crown from her father.
1a. I'm sure she does.
1b. For obvious reasons, that's not a great idea.
2. Probably some degree of constitutional but more absolute than most modern monarchies.
3. Probably, but I haven't nailed it down in my own head yet.
4. ASKED AND ANSWERED.
5. It's the Young Justice version of the same character.
Again, really great work by you and your cast and crew on Young Justice. Just looking to eat up some more of your time with questions and commentary.
1. I liked your take on the Riddler; the jacket and tie is a nice change from the suit or spandex with bowler that he typically wears. I also thought it did a great job of showing a casualwear look that is still leaves him instantly recognizable.
2. This might just be me reading too closely into things but I noticed that the designs for the Joker and Riddler seem to take cues from musical subcultures. The Joker's design seems to me very Mod inspired while the Riddler wouldn't look out of place in a rockabilly band. Was this an intentional design choice or a simple coincidence?
1. Thanks. All credit for that should go to Phil Bourassa and Brandon Vietti. My only contribution was to say, "Cool!"
2. You'd have to ask Phil.
Hi Greg, thanks for taking the time to answer this!
Just watched Coldhearted and it was epic. I loved how we got to see more of Wally's badass side. But I was wondering where Roy was since he didn't show up at Wally's birthday party?
Otherwise occupied.

I know I'm probably forgetting some folks, and I REALLY apologize! If you send me a reminder, I'll pimp you in another post!
I've been a fan of the new 52 and I was wondering if there are any plans to incorporate the new universe by any means into Young Justice.
I do know a similar question was asked if new 52 will change the whole YJ and you said no, but I'm wondering if there would be any elements taken from the current comics in future seasons or would you guys rule out the possibilities?
Also, I'm wondering if the team only accepts legacy characters like kid flash, aqualad, red robin and heroes like that because all the current heroes have their adult counterpart, so I'm wondering if it is a criteria to join the team only if they're connected to the Justice League.
Lastly, thanks for the great work. I love Young Justice and the only thing that could make it better is that we get even more Young Justice.
Thanks.
1. ASKED AND ANSWERED.
2. We have plenty of ideas for Season Three, but we haven't developed them in any detail, as we don't have a pick-up (at least not yet).
3. There's no charter with rules specifying that.
Quick question about Roy's personality. Is it still similar to the Roy in the comics, in the sense that he's a shameless flirt and a ladies' man? Hopefully that's not a spoiler, lol.
What you see is what you get.
1. Where are Artemis and Zatanna during the episode Image?
2. On Earth 16, does Zatanna have a cousin?
3. How many biological sisters does Wonder Woman have(ones that aren't amazons or fellow women)?
4. Has Wonder Woman ever been married?
5. Did Wonder Woman ever fight in WW2?
1. SPOILER REQUEST. NO COMMENT.
2. SPOILER REQUEST. NO COMMENT.
3. SPOILER REQUEST. NO COMMENT.
4. SPOILER REQUEST. NO COMMENT. (But no.)
5. Yes.
so if this (http://mandalyn13.tumblr.com/post/19022678350/both-sides-of-the-young-justice-invasion-box-art-below) is the plan for the next season, can you tell us why you made the changes you did? like the more damian wayne look of robin, the new suits for superboy and aqualad, and the more boy-ish haircut for m'gann?
Watch the show, and if you still don't get it when it's OVER, ask again.
Why were the green lanterns off world during coldhearted?
They have an entire sector to protect.
I have a question about "Coldhearted". Batman said that both Green Lanterns were off world. (I'm assuming he means Hal and John.) What about Guy Gardner? He's a Green Lantern and we saw him in "Revelations". I guess I'm just trying to figure out why Batman didn't count Guy as a Green Lantern.
anyways, I LOVE the show and hate that I have to wait a week between shows and a month between comics. Keep up the awesome work! Oh and thanks for giving Wonder Woman the power of flight. :) She should have it and it bothers me when people take that power away from her.
Guy's not a member of the League, and Batman has no jurisdiction over him or consistent way to track his whereabouts, especially if Guy's offworld.
"Coldhearted" was awesome! I actually thought Perdita died for a moment, and I was just as surprised as Vertigo when the curtain was pulled.
Questions:
1. Why did Vandal Savage distract KF himself? Is there any reason(s) he didn't send someone else to do it?
2. Does Vertigo know Savage is the leader of The Light? And does he know the identities of any of its other members?
1. Why not?
2. Savage is NOT the leader of the Light. But Vertigo knows Savage is a member of the Light. Beyond that, I'm not going to comment.
Just what *does* Brick pay for suits his size?
Ask Brick.
Hey Greg me again I had a few questions about ColdHearted:
1. Why did Artemis smile after M'gann kissed Wally on the forehead?
2. What was the woman's name that gave Wally the pack with, the Queen's heart?
3. Was Robin trying to make a move on Zatanna when he was giving her cake?
1. I think it speaks for itself.
2. Dr. Mattie Harcourt.
3. Well, he's into her. I don't think his specific intent is all that clear in HIS head even.
More a philosophical question than one about any of your work (although it does relate to some of your characters):
What is your opinion of Friedrich Nietzche's quote "He who fights monsters should see to it that he himself does not become a monster. And if you gaze for long into an abyss, the abyss gazes also into you"? How do you think it relates to superheroes, and characters who struggle against "evil" in general? I'm very interested in your input on the subject.
I buy into it 100%. Doesn't mean every good guy goes bad, but every good guy's going to - at the very least - have those moments where it could go either way.
In "Misplaced" we see a plane deprived of its pilot by her turning 18 in flight.
Was it ever actively considered how a similar fate would have befallen any children traveling by air at the time? Or other times where supervillain actions should probably result in high numbers of civilian casualties?
Yes, it was considered.
And with THAT, I've gotten the queue down to a mere ELEVEN HUNDRED QUESTIONS! <Whew!>
What are the powers of the light members?
What you see is what you get - until or unless you see one of them do something more.
In YJ are there any police officers who do not carry guns?
Any? I suppose it's possible.
Hey. I am a huge fan of Young Justice and I have a few questions. I'm sorry if they violate the guidelines in anyway. I had a question about the other Robins fom the comics, but you've already marked them as Spoilers, so I won't ask.
1. Has Robin ever considered Barbara as more than a friend? I know you've said that he has a crush on Zatanna, but it's possible to like two people at the same time, right? Does he know that Barbara likes him?
1. SPOILER REQUEST. NO COMMENT.
1a. Yes, it's possible.
1b. SPOILER REQUEST. NO COMMENT.
Just a quick question based on recent findings.
Don't know if you can answer this, but recently Invasion toy box art was found which reveals Blue Beetle and Lagoon Boy are added to the team. Was there a reason these two weren't originally chosen but picked later by you and your team for The Team?
Thanks.
Yes.
1. You've said that the relationship between Bruce and Dick is going to be a better one than that which has been portrayed in recent canon. Is that based on how you think the relationship should be or did you change it because of Dick's age?
2. Is there a mentor/sidekick relationship that you feel has the best dynamic?
1. I'm not sure you're quoting me correctly - not exactly anyway. But I think they have a solid relationship, and Brandon and I both felt that worked on the series.
2. Nope. I like 'em all.
Coldhearted
"Young Justice" goes single focus this week with an episode centering square on our favorite obnoxious speedster, Wally West. As far as character development goes, I think Wally especially needed an episode like this. I wasn't disappointed. I think we can all relate on one level, no matter how old we get, we all want our birthdays to be special, even if we say we don't. Did Wally's go well? Sure... in the end. It looks like he's finally maturing. More on that in a bit.
Artemis is my favorite character on The Team, and I loved that moment where she decided to spill the beans to Wally about Miss Martian and Superboy being an item. That she chose to deflate him like this was so mean, and yet you can't feel too bad for him because he really had it coming. I like to think Wally choosing not to dwell on it is another mark that he's maturing. This episode was all about him learning how to prioritize.
I thought his cross country run was fun to watch. Now, I am sure some people will complain that he can't move at the speed of light, or however fast the character can run in the comics, but I don't like my heroes and villains to be overpowered, it removes the tension if, say, Superman is strong enough to move planets, or the Hulk can prevent the entire continent of Australia from ripping in half. I saw one person ask why the closest available heart for a patient in Seattle was all the way in Boston, but I would hope most would remember that hearts with matching blood types for complex transplants don't grow on trees.
Let's talk about the villains for a moment. Vandal Savage was fun to watch for his brief scene, slowing down Wally. This guy is just a beast. He really lives up to his name, and I enjoyed hearing Miguel Ferrer's voice again. I also thought it was fun that this didn't seem to be his plan, so much as he was doing a favor for Count Vertigo. Actually, I wonder if this was Savage returning a favor, since Vertigo acted as his proxy in the Injustice League back in "Revelation." I would say that I hope we see more of Vandal, but I know we are going to.
But the true villain of the piece had to be Count Vertigo. I'm not too familiar with Vertigo, but he was a great villain in this episode. It was just diabolical in its simplicity. Have The Light distract both the Justice League and The Team, slow down Kid Flash, and let Queen Perdita die so he can become king. And, I'm going to be honest, considering just how dark this series has gotten, and how successful the villains have been... I actually believed he won. I thought the episode would end wit The Light declaring their triumph that they have an ally of theirs on the throne of Vlatava. So, I was as surprised as Vertigo was when the curtain was pulled back.
I suppose the only question left is, how did The Light pull off freezing half of the country? They have control of Belle Reve, so it's conceivable they could sneak the ice villains in and out. Is that what they did, or were they using advanced tech from Apokolips? Well, I guess we'll find out soon.
The animation in this episode was just stunning, particularly the snow effects. I hope for a Blu-ray release.
Psst. It was the five ice guys.
1. I think Wally got the best mission in Cold Hearted. Right?
2. How old is Queen Perdita?
3. I take it Flash is faster than Wally?
1. I think by the end, he thought so.
2. ASKED AND ANSWERED.
3. Way.
Hi Greg,
I really enjoyed the latest episode of Young Justice, 1st off praise to the writing because i really liked how Wally was handled on the episode, now as for the question: This seemed link up to the Green Arrow short you did, is it meant as a continuation of that story?
Yes and no. The short isn't canon, but the Earth-16 version of those events will eventually appear in our companion comic.
To whom it may concern,
I'm absolutely loving the show so far and can't wait for the impending series 1 finale. I just had a few minor, nitpicky questions!
1) In Targets, when Cheshire impersonates the tea girl at the ceremony, was there a real server she mugged and replaced offscreen or something?
2) I guess similar to the first, in the most recent episode, "Coldhearted", why weren't there any doctors or police officers waiting in front of the Seattle hospital for Kid Flash like there were in Boston? Were they taken out offscreen by Vertigo's henchmen?
3) I know you've talked about plotting for the comics and the TV series, but without spoiling anything, if a character who has not yet appeared in the show was designed by Chris Jones in the comic book, does that mean they won't be appearing in the show period (as of now) or that they simply might have a different design? Because I saw an interview where he said he was given free reign on a few characters like Talia al Ghul and Ubu (and I think the previous artist said something similar about Psycho Pirate?).
Sorry for all the questions, and I hope you and the others keep up the great work!
1. Yes.
2. Well, Dr. Cross came outside - but it was cold, and he went back into the lobby. For the rest, I'll leave it to your imagination.
3. At least one of the characters first designed by Chris for the comic will be appearing in the show. Phil did his own version of it, but kept it consistent with Chris' take - keeping in mind that five years have passed. Phil and Chris are both fans of each other's work.
Sorry, forgot to include these questions in my previous post...
1. How old is Pieter Cross?
2. How old is Mattie Harcourt?
Thanks!
1. Peter Cross is 28.
2. Mattie Harcourt is 32.
Loved 'Coldhearted'!
1. How old is Perdita?
Thanks so much!
Perdita is ten in "Coldhearted".
Just getting into YJ. I love the romantic aspects of the show so don't ever feel you have to apologize for it to anyone. Like the Robin and Zatanna thing. Miss Martian and Superboy are okay. She's just a little too sugary for my linking and she was crushing from day one. Oh well they are kids so, understandable but I have a soft spot for Wally. I am really hoping if Donna Troy comes into this show she and Wally hook up. If it is Cassie...drama!lol.
Is Selina Kyle in this verse? I would so love to see her or Talia. I like when Batman falls for women he can't control or run from. Is he as bad as he generally is at relationships as he is in he comics and the other cartoon on this earth? He seems not too bad. Seems much lighter here.
Are Superman and Wonder Woman together? They seem to have a little something going on when I watched the pilot. It was very subtle but you could not miss it and must admit I liked it. Poor Superman, getting so much condemnation and I am sure he needs someone who understands the situation to give him a hug. Anyway thanks for the good job.
Talia al Ghul has appeared in the companion comic.
As for your other questions, they're all SPOILERS REQUESTS or ASKED AND ANSWERED.
But I'm glad you're liking the show!
* How old is Dudley?
* Is he Billy's uncle, or his guardian (or both?)
* What does/did he do for a living? I noticed a poster in Misplaced, he looks like some circus magician.
* Why didn't he have any lines in Misplaced? You had Corey Burton in the cast, after all
1. Dudley is 65 at the end of Season One.
2. He is Billy's legal guardian. They're not actually related by blood, but Billy calls him "Uncle Dudley". And Dudley certainly is avuncular.
3. He's had many jobs over the years. Now, he's eligible for Social Security. Plus he takes odd jobs, and is something of a scammer.
4. Well, we didn't think he NEEDED any lines, but this is a good question generally, and provides me the opportunity to explain how the system works - at least on our series.
All our actors - Corey included, of course - share a similar contract, with a favored nation clause. That means whatever deal one actor gets, if it's superior to what the other actors have, they ALL get it. That sounds great, but it has the reverse effect. It means the studio is NEVER willing to pay extra for anything or anyone, because if they do - then they have to match it for EVERY actor in the series, and that's just not budget-friendly.
So that means every actor - whether they're famous or a first-timer - gets the exact same deal.
And, per SAG (i.e. the Screen Actor's Guild), here's the deal:
*For a specific amount of money (that, NO, I will not state - so don't ask), we get an actor to play ONE character per episode.
*For no additional money, we can ask that actor to play a SECOND character in the same episode.
*For a SMALL additional fee, we can ask that actor to play a THIRD character in the same episode. (The budget allows for this small additional fee, so you'll often see us use one actor for three voices in a given episode.)
*But if we want a FOURTH character, we have to pay the actor from scratch. A full second payment.
So, it costs us no more or no less to hire ANOTHER actor to play that fourth character as it would to ask an actor already in the cast to play that fourth. And if we hire that other actor, we can get him or her to play a FIFTH character for free, and a SIXTH for that small additional fee. So there's no economic insentive to give one actor more than three roles.
Now, we're not above doing it when it's warranted. For example, if we needed Superboy, Superman, Zatara and Marvin White in one episode, I wouldn't hesitate to pay Nolan North two full payments to get them. BUT - and here's where your original Corey question comes in - if we could get away with Marvin appearing WITHOUT speaking, then that would save us some money, and it's a path we might take.
SO, with Corey, we NEEDED him to play Brain, James Gordon and Wizard. That's three voices. We didn't need Dudley to speak, so we saved some money there.
I love Young Justice. Though I always seem to miss the new episodes. It just about ruins my day when that happens. Just being able to watch it on T.V. makes me jittery with joy. Can't believe I'm gonna miss "Coldhearted". Maybe I'll catch it on Sunday. You've done good with The Universe. I can't wait for more!
Thanks! Hope you got to see it!
If Queen Bee is in the light is that how Sportsmaster knew about the Bialya mission?, if so why would they tell one of their servants?
1. Pretty much.
2. They wanted him to know.
Now does the team understand why Captain Marvel always hangs out at the cave? and please at least consider subtitles for when they cast spells?.
1. I suppose they do.
2. Why would we do that?
Does Artemis play any sports? And if so which ones?
She's really good at archery.
1. Does Batman have a love interest in Earth-16? (Not asking who 'cause that is probably a spoiler request...)
Just wanted to say that I love your show! Thank you for your time!
SPOILER REQUEST. NO COMMENT.
Two things i'd like to know
1. Since homefront have the others learned that Artemis shot that arrow at Amazo? and
2. Now that the team knows who Billy really is do any of them feel bad about tricking him in humanity?
1. I think at this point, pretty much everyone knows.
2. I suppose. It's kinda water under the bridge.
hey man the shows awesome got a couple of questions
1. are Wally and Artemis gonna hook up
2. are you gonna introduce original characters
3. how long did it take to come up with an acronym for Monki
cheers man looking forward to watching more episodes
1. By now you've seen them get together at the end of Season One.
2. On rare occassions.
3. MONQI - and it took Nicole Dubuc and I a couple of attempts.
Hello, Mr. Greg Weisman,
I'm back with posting #9. I wasn't able to post yesterday (the day before this posting) because I had a technical issue and wasn't able to use the internet. But now I am able to today. Here's my new set of questions.
1. I was wondering if you could tell me what the specifics of each part of Earth-16 Batmanâs batsuit are? This question was inspired by watching the Christopher Nolan film Batman Begins and its sequel, The Dark Knight. These two movies did a great job in explaining/showing the functions of each part of Batmanâs suit (the gloves, the cape, the suit, the belt, the gauntlets, etc.). If youâve ever watched these two movies, you probably have a vague idea on what Iâm trying to say. Also, could you tell me whether this is Batmanâs only batsuit on Earth-16, or does he have more than one?
2. If Billy Baston is depicted as 10 years old, THEN when he transforms into Captain Marvel, what is the EXACT age difference between his adult and child form? An exact number for his adult age would actually be extremely helpful at this point.
3. Where did you come up with the idea to allow Captain Marvel to hug Batman and Zatara? Has he ever done that before� But seriously, that was downright funny, and I laughed like mad! Just for fun, when Captain Marvel gave the hug, what were Batman and Zatara thinking at that very moment?
4. When exactly did Wonder Woman decided to leave the island of Themyscira, and what important events happened to her between that time and 2003?
5. I am a person who believes that when I see things that may have something in common with another, there are absolutely no coincidences. First, in the DC relaunch, the first Justice League story arc established that in 2006 (chronologically in the mainstream DCnU), Darkseid invaded Earth (because he was searching for his daughter at that time). Second, it has been revealed via information on the internet about one of the new DC relaunch titles, âEarth Two,â which is coming in May, that the parallel Earth-2 (which is much different from before the DC relaunch) was known to have been under threat by Apokolips (and not necessarily by Darkseid himself). Third, we have Young Justice: Invasion, which is the second season of the cartoon series that you announced a long time ago, that has our main characters needing to prepare to fight against an invasion. Is there some common theme that I am seeing?! Is Earth-16 going to be under threat by the upcoming Apokolips?! Or is it just my imaginationâ¦? Your response will hopefully help to tell me how accurate I am.
Thanks for taking the time to read my questions. As always, keep up the good work.
1. I'm honestly not sure what you're asking me here, and I have seen both those movies. But he does have more than one suit, in case he spills something.
2. ASKED AND ANSWERED.
3. Just seemed in character for him at that moment. I think Zatara was annoyed, and Batman was already a couple steps ahead, focusing on what this all meant.
4a. ASKED AND ANSWERED.
4b. You gotta be kidding me. You expect me to post her entire biography here?
5. SPOILER REQUEST. NO COMMENT. Other than to say that as I've been ASKED AND ANSWERED before, the goings-on over at DC haven't had any effect on us one way or the other, because we were already too far along.
