I just notice the Aqualad poster in Gar's room during Image.
And I know is there other hidden thing secrets in earlier episodes?
P.S I think Aqualad is the breakout star of show.

Greg responds...

Here and there.

Hey! Just a quick question, I know sometimes Robin or another character is missing from an episode because they're off with their mentors and what not, but I noticed that in a couple episodes since Misplaced, Zatanna has been absent. I was just wondering why? Or where she was?

Greg responds...

Well, "Misplaced" was episode 119. Zatanna appeared in 120, 122, 123, 124, 125 and 126. So when you say "a couple of episodes", I assume you really just mean 121, i.e. "Image", which also didn't include, Aqualad or Artemis. We know Aqualad was busy with Aquaman. So I like to think that Artemis and Zatanna were hanging out.

Mr. Greg Weisman,

Your response to one of my questions from my first posting (which was posted by me on March 3rd, 2012) stated that you are not familiar with the Smallville interpretation of Krypton’s destruction. The circumstances behind Krypton’s destruction were made clear within an animated series related to Smallville (but also which is not shown on TV) called “Kara and the Chronicles of Krypton.”

The website, http://smallville.wikia.com/wiki/Kara_and_the_Chronicles_of_Krypton, should hopefully be able to help out in some way to help you understand.

If you want to know more about Smallville’s interpretation of Krypton, here is this website, http://smallville.wikia.com/wiki/Krypton.

If you want to know about the DCAU interpretation of Krypton and how its destruction came about (which you claimed to some difficulty remembering), here’s the website, http://dcanimated.wikia.com/wiki/Krypton.

Does this information appear to help in any way to let you understand the nature of my question from the first posting (which I believe was question #5)? I feel that that these sources are well-informative, so please let me know how it all works out.

PS. I would also like to let you know that two days ago (from the date of this posting), around nighttime, I noticed in the unanswered questions archive that an anonymous person posted a very offensive and insulting message towards me; which also accused me of posting too much. Whoever’s posting it belonged to was deleted by whoever is in charge of the approval of the postings, so I don't remember the anonymous person's exact words. If you feel that I AM posting too often, I sincerely apologize and wish to be advised as to how to avoid the problem. Otherwise, I will not post anything from this point forward unless I feel that I need to ask something important regarding Young Justice.

Thank you very much for taking the time to read this posting.

Greg responds...

I appreciate you posting these links, but I don't have the time or inclination to check them out. Sorry.

But I don't think you're posting too often. The moderators obviously have NO problem with your posts - since they've remained in the queue for me to respond to - while the post made by your attacker - which I haven't seen - was deleted. So I think it's obvious who belongs here and who doesn't.

1. Despite having a criminal record (as clearly mentioned in “Agendas”), when and why did Plastic Man decided to become a hero in the first place? Was it to make amends for something he did wrong or was it for some other personal reasons?

2. What grade level are Barbara Gordon and Bette Kane in (currently) at Gotham Academy?

3. Was Barbara Gordon’s enrollment into Gotham Academy of her own decision, or was it her father that pushed for the suggestion that she should enroll there?

4. When Wally was sent to the hospital after trying the experiment to receive super-speed, were his parents furious with him at first (for doing something so reckless and dangerous)? If they were, did Barry ever tried to explain to Wally’s parents that what happened to Wally was actually his OWN fault, and not Wally’s?

5. Out of curiosity, when did “Hello, Megan!” first aired on TV (on Earth-16), and how many episodes did the show have (despite it only being one season)?

Greg responds...

1. That's a story. I don't tell stories here (generally).

2. As of Season One, Barbara was a Freshman. Bette was a Sophomore.

3. I dunno. I'd have to think about it. Maybe both.

4a. Yes.

4b. Well, I think they SHARE the blame - and only up to a point. Nobody held a gun to Wally's head - or even encouraged him. And Barry had no idea Wally had STOLEN his journals. So it was almost entirely Wally's fault to my way of thinking. Though Barry agreed more with you than me. But, yes, everyone talked it all out eventually.

5. "Hello, Megan!" aired across the 1979-1980 television season on GBS. Twenty-two episodes, a full season, aired. But it wasn't picked up for a second season.

It’s good that Robin was given the chance to lead The Team at least once so far (in the real world), but he didn’t feel 100% confident in his own abilities just yet (given what happened in “Failsafe”). If more situations dictate the need for Robin’s leadership more often (I'll wait to find out), then do you believe in your most honest opinion that he will gradually improve overtime (both in his own confidence and in his own skills)?

Greg responds...

Now that, hopefully, you've seen the start of Season Two, I'll leave that for you to decide for yourself.

I'm a big fan of multiverses in DC and Marvel Comics, and that's just because each universe presents something that makes them unique from other universes. The problem with handling a multiverse in a comics industry appears to be that sometimes you introduce a parallel Earth, give it a little background information, and eventually you never hear about it again or it is rarely mentioned at all. I remember some time ago that when the DC multiverse crossover event called "Infinite Crisis" ended, the result created a mainstream Earth (New Earth/Earth-0) and 51 other parallel Earths. The parallel Earths (most of them anyway) were introduced in some way in a comic book series called "52." In the years following the introduction of that particular series, I have noticed many contradictions concerning what is canonically the official 51 parallel Earths (not including the mainstream Earth) within the DC multiverse. The problem got bigger when I realized the DC multiverse was rebooted when the DC crossover event "Flashpoint" was finished. After reading Action Comics #8, the tagline at the end of the issue mentioned the introduction of a Superman from Earth-23 in the new DC multiverse. This confused me because I thought that the cartoon series "Batman: The Brave and the Bold" took place on Earth-23 (pre-relaunch of course), which already had its own version of Superman in it. I read on the Internet last night that some people believe that DC cartoons that take place on parallel Earths may not be canon. SO, in the case of your Young Justice cartoon/comic series, is your interpretation of Earth-16 truly a part of the official DC multiverse as one of the 51 parallel Earths, even NOW since the DC multiverse is rebooted?

Greg responds...

Honestly, I don't know.

Since the new 52, perhaps things have changed for the PTB@DC.

But until someone tells me otherwise, Earth-16 is still part of a parallel universe within the DC Multiverse. Frankly, I'm not sure I EVER understood why there were ONLY 52 parallel Earths. Either something is singular or it's infinite. But those are all decisions made above my paygrade.

"What exactly are you asking here? Whether or not I'm going to give a free pass to people who phrase the request sneakily? Or whether folks will stop asking when I make it clear that it's not going to work? "

The latter, of course. You constantly refuse to give spoilers and yet they keep trying that "in your opinion" thing as if it's not a spoiler request.

Greg responds...

Okay... so. Is there still a question here?

Hello. First off, I love Young Justice. The characters (both heroes and villains) and the plot are amazing. I would like to ask you two questions about Rocket specifically.

Are Rocket and Icon related? And are Rocket's powers something she was born with or does she have them thanks to her belt? In the comics, it did say they come from her inertia belt.

Thanks in advance and great job with Young Justice!

Greg responds...

1. Icon is Rocket's mentor. Rocket is Icon's inspiration. They're not blood relations at all. (He's not even really human.)

2. Rocket's powers come from her belt.

Hello! First off, my sister loves "Young Justice" and is a really big fan. I have yet to see it, but I plan to over the summer. However, I've got a few questions on a much older series you freelanced two episodes for, namely "Buzz Lightyear of Star Command", if you wouldn't mind answering them. (Loved all the inside "Gargoyles" jokes in "Clone Rangers", by the way!) I know it's been almost a decade since then, but I figured I'd give it a go.

1. How were you selected to write the episodes, and how did the process go? (e.g., did you yourself come up with the ideas, or did they present you a premise you had to stick to?)
2. How did you come up with Romac's character? Was there a reason behind him being the only "intelligent" Grounder around? Someone who served as a source of inspiration? (And, this is more trivia than anything, but how old would you say Romac is?)
3. How about the relations between Tangean Royals and Tangean Grounders? The story has a "Romeo and Juliet" kind of feel to it, but did you ever expand on why the two races live apart when they're on the same planet?

Thank you very much in advance! :)

Greg responds...

Wow, this was a LONG time ago.

1. I think I came up with the springboard for "Starstruck" and that Schooley and McCorkle came up with the springboard for "Clone Rangers". But I'm not sure, and my story editor Kevin Hopps may have come up with both for all I know.

2. Romac was based on Romeo. He's about the same age as the princess, whatever her age was.

3. It was all definitely based on R&J, but I don't remember any of the specifics, I'm afraid.

Regarding Zatanna's spells, does Ms. Chabert have a difficult time pronouncing some of them on the first go? Do you choose to write the spells a certain way that allows for them to be more easily read?

Greg responds...

1. Yes, sometimes, though she's a real trooper about it, and she practices them all in advance.

2. They are simply written backwards. She and Jamie and I work out the phonetics as we go.

These might be spoilerific but I'll try anyway.

1. Is the green martian body that Miss Martian showed as her "true" form what green martians really look like in this continuity, or do they look like their typical more monstrous selves shown in other continuities?

2. Has Dr. Fate not thought to split body time with someone? It would have been a lot easier for him to convince someone to give up their body a few hours a day than permanently.

3. Parasite's plan was to open a black hole, directly above him... Did he have an escape plan?

Greg responds...

1a. No.

1b. They look like her White Martian form. Only, you know, greeen.

2. NO COMMENT.

3. The question is really: What was Intergang's plan?

Hey again, Greg. Hopefully this question will catch you while you're at your office or Beverly Hills office, but I'm just dropping by a follow up inquiry about posting the SpecSpidey bible.

Sorry if I'm being a pest, I know by the time you read this you'll have slogged through a couple hundred questions about Red Tornado's shoe-size or the like since you answered my last question. Keep the faith, you're made of sterner stuff then I.

Greg responds...

Sorry, I'm at Warner Bros. today. And I'm still not sure if I WANT to post the SpecSpidey bible.

Hey Greg, I'm a big fan of Gargoyles and I actually have a question for it concerning Brooklyn. How much has his personality changed after he got back from his Timedancing adventure? I didn't see this question posted at the archives but if you did post it then I apologize.

He's evolved - and aged - more than he's changed.

In regards to things involving the Daily Planet on Earth-16:
a. How long has Perry White been in charge of the Daily Planet thus far?
b. Who was in charge of the Daily Planet prior to Perry White?
c. How long has Lois Lane, Jimmy Olsen and Clark Kent each have been working at the Daily Planet thus far?

Thanks for taking the time to read these questions!

Greg responds...

a. I don't know.

b. Probably George Taylor.

c. I haven't calculated all this stuff. Sorry.

I saw in the archives that someone asked about the religions that the members of the Justice League are practicing, so I was curious about the religions of the members of the team as well. I think it is safe to say that some of them, namely Miss Martian, are already revealed (in her case in Denial), and others like Aqualad and Zatanna can be inferred from their counterparts on the Justice League. Also, since it will be a while when you do get to this question, I would appreciate if you would answer this for any and all new additions to the team as of answering this question as well. Thanks in advance.

Greg responds...

Hmmm, I don't love answering this kind of question casually. It requires research that I haven't (yet) done. But I'll give it a shot. Just don't hold me to it.

B-01 Robin/Nightwing - Protestant Christian of some kind.

B-02 Aqualad - Atlantean Pagan.

B-03 Kid Flash - Protestant Christian of some kind.

B-04 Superboy was given no religion.

B-05 Miss Martian - In theory, grew up worshipping the Gods of Mars.

B-06 Red Arrow - Protestant Christian of some kind.

B-07 Artemis - Fairly confident, she wasn't brought up with any faith...

B-08 Zatanna - Catholic.

B-09 Rocket - Baptist, maybe?

B-10 Tempest - Atlantean Pagan.

B-11 Aquagirl - Atlantean Pagan

B-12 ?? - ??

B-13 ?? - ??

B-14 ?? - ??

B-15 ?? - ??

B-16 Batgirl - Protestant Christian of some kind.

B-17 Bumblebee - Protestant Christian of some kind.

B-18 Lagoon Boy - Atlantean Pagan.

B-19 Beast Boy - Protestant Christian of some kind.

B-20 Robin - Protestant Christian of some kind.

B-21 Wonder Girl - - Protestant Christian of some kind with a new respect for Amazon Pagan.

B-22 Blue Beetle - Catholic.

B-23 Impulse - Protestant Christian of some kind (assuming there was time for faith post-Reach Apocalypse).

Hey Greg! Just wanted to say I loved YJ and a had a few questions about the universe for you.

1. Have all the JSA members who were active on Earth-16 been shown already? Or are there some that weren't on the archive footage?

2. Are there any other Superhero groups on Earth-16 other than the JLA right now?

3. On Wikipedia it says that an imaginary story about Batman and Superman's children took place on this universe. Is that still canon to this verse?

Greg responds...

1. They haven't all been shown.

2. SPOILER REQUEST. NO COMMENT.

3. No.

Hello, Greg. One quick question:
I was just looking at the comic sample called Face Your Fears. In the panel where Robin has his mask in his hand, it doesn't have lenses. Is this a blooper? I just don't understand where the white lenses went :O
Sorry for the random question :/ But I hope you answer it!

I noticed in the Young Justice comics and television show, that Artemis and her mother live in a pretty meager apartment. This appeared to also be the case when Lawrence was living in the house.

So were they living that way on purpose, or does being a skilled assassin just not pay much money? You'd think Lawrence would be making some major bank. As an addendum, in the time he's been away, has he sent anything in the way of financial support?

Greg responds...

Being in and out of prison takes a toll on one's bank account. But I also think that Sporty isn't spending his money on the finer things - unless those finer things explode.
