Dear Greg, I think you are an absolute genius with what you have done with Young Justice. As a twenty year old female college student, there isn’t a lot of things that will get me up early on a Saturday morning. But I cannot lie, Young Justice has tugged on the heartstrings of my inner child and I have truly enjoyed every episode. I love how the show is intended for a younger audience but throws in witty lines & scenarios for mature viewers too. I also really enjoy the “dark/edginess” of the plot that keeps you wondering even after the show has ended. The creativity, thoughtfulness and talent that you and your team put into every episode shows each week.
Wishing you continued success,
Nicole, (a dedicated fan hoping for a season 3!)

Greg responds...

Thank you so much!

Hey Greg! I can't wait to see Wonder girl and the other new young heroes!
My question is about the original Roy, not the clone, while he was in the pod for three years(?) did he grow up and learn new things from the genomes? Or did he stay 15 y.o? I really can't wait to see what you guys do with this! I have a feeling his personality might differ slightly from clone Roy! Thanks! :D

SPOILER REQUEST. NO COMMENT.

Captain Fan writes...

Someone in a Captain Action discussion group, found a clip from a Gargoyles episode entitiled "Eye of the Beholder". There is a brief appearance by Action Boy, who is the sidekick of Captain Action, a 1960's action figure from Ideal toys. His emblems were blacked out, I'm sure for copyright purposes. I was wondering if someone envolved with the show was a Captain Action or Action Boy fan. Anyway, it was a cool thing to see.

Greg responds...

I have no memory of this, I'm afraid.

Todd Jensen writes...

The first season of "Young Justice" takes place over the course of half a year, starting on the Fourth of July and continuing to New Year's Eve in the Season One finale (with episodes set on Halloween and Thanksgiving along the way). I remember that the first season of "The Spectacular Spider-Man" similarly stretched from the start of the school year in September to Thanksgiving (with a Halloween episode along the way), and that the second season got up at least to Valentine's Day. The time progression in "Gargoyles" was more vague, but we had two Halloween stories ("Eye of the Beholder" and the Double Date story) and three wintry episodes in New York ("Her Brother's Keeper", which ends with a snowfall, "Re-Awakening", and "The Price"), as well as a clear timeline for the Stone of Destiny story.

I like this sense of the year's progress through the seasons and landmark days (like the Fourth of July and Halloween), but it doesn't seem that common in animated series outside your own work. I've seen two speculations on why that element is so rare in animated series. One is that a lot of the people who engage in such creative work aren't big on continuity and change, far less than you are. Another is that most people involved in creating animated television series live in or near Los Angeles and other parts of California, where the climate is pretty much the same year around and there's less a sense of four seasons than in other parts of the United States. I was wondering what your thoughts were on these theories.

Greg responds...

Both these theories seem valid to me, but they probably pale from the economic explanation: if you progress through the seasons then you have to redress backgrounds and characters, and that's expensive. Me, I believe it's WORTH the expense. But that's only true if you're really going to DO something with it. If you're not, then there's not much point. (We also did it on W.I.T.C.H. by the way.)

1- Do you feel all this people asking "how old questions" are doing it to annoy you?

2- Do you feel DC fans are different from Marvel ones?

3-How do you feel about the fact that there have been multiple characters with the Robin title and so many similar cases? I feel it just gives fans more reasons to be unhappy. For me Dick is my Robin!

First off, I'd like to apologize on behalf of the abuse you've recieved, Mr. Weisman. You give us the chance to have you personally answer our questions, and your rewarded with rants from the disgruntled fanbase. I'm sorry for this, and understand the added rules because of this outlandish behavior.

Anyways, I was wondering about the Light. How exactly did you come up with this evil cabal of villains? I'm not asking for spoilers, just what made you decide to take these select villains, and organize them into such a secretive, manipulative, and mysterious way of organized crime. The Secret Society and the Injustice League in the comics they weren't anywhere near as badass and secret as this group is! Did the Illuminati from Gargoyles influence their creation a bit?

Thanks for your time, if you decide to answer this! Keep up the excellent work, can't wait for Season 2 of Young Justice!

Greg responds...

The Illuminati may have been an influence, but mostly it was Brandon and I (and later Kevin) sitting down and figuring out what kind of opposition we wanted for our series and what their motivations would be and what their goals would be and finally, who would be chosen to carry those banners. As always, we looked for diversity, personality, power ranges - but mostly CHOPS.

Hello, Greg! I have some W.I.T.C.H. questions.
1)In the series finale, when the C.H.Y.K.N escaped from the jewel, why did Nerissa remain young, while the reverted back to their original forms?
2)Why Cassidy stayed alive, instead of becoming a ghost again?
3)Does Nerissa know that her fantasies (when she remains trapped in the jewel) are just fantasies, at least deep down, or she really believes they're real?

Greg responds...

1. Nerissa didn't ever really escape from the Jewel. But in her imagination, she was still young.

2. Because that magic had been accomplished. It was a done deal.

3. I'll leave that to your interpretation.

1. How much would say past cartoons like Batman: The Animated Series and Justice League Unlimited influenced your work on, Young Justice?

2. Were the six Leaguers in "Auld Acquaintance" who were unaccounted for(Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Martian Manhunter, Hawkwoman and John Stewart) a reference to the Justice League cartoon, since the show featured an near identical line-up, or was it just a coincidence?

Greg responds...

1. Batman's been a big influence since back in the Gargoyles days. Nothing specific, but it's probably still floating around in my brain. I'm less familiar with JLU, so I'm sure it's had less of an influence. I know early on we did some things intentionally differently to distance ourselves from that great show. But for example, the six Leaguers chosen to be missing for 16 hours was definitely influenced by the cast of the original Justice League series.

2. Yes. By now you probably realize that Flash was NOT included because we needed him back on Earth for our Impulse intro.

Dear Greg,
Watched the season finale, and WOW. What an ending. Here I've been telling my friends the mole was a Starro-controlled Red Arrow. Boy was I half-wrong. And the fate of Original Roy-OK, that was cool. It's a way to get the cybernetic arm in without the needless killing of a baby, very nice. And the team taking on the league, very cool. I'm glad Clark made peace with Connor, very cool. Honestly, my favorite part of the whole episode? Tying up the romantic plots. Thank you, especially for Zatana grabbing Dick like that, very funny. And if the clips they showed for season 2(hopefully starting next week) are correct; Oh, you just went up beyond my top 5 favorite creators. Thank you for an amazing first season of Young Justice, please pass this on to the rest of the cast & crew, and I eagerly await more of the Team!

Greg responds...

Wow, thanks. Glad you liked it!

I thoroughly look forward to seeing the rest of your work, because all of it has been great. Thank you and adieu.

At the risk of losing my heroic status, I'm going to demur here, since all this information is already available in the ASK GREG archives. (I've been asked this MANY times before.) For example, check out "Animation", "Behind the Scenes", "Biz, The" and "Weisman, Greg" for starters.

Mr. Curious writes...

In Young Justice, three separate designation systems were established (that we know of thus far): one for members of the Justice League, one for members of The Team, and one for authorized guests. Here’s where I need to ask two tricky questions about the topic.

a. From her introduction into the show until the concluding events of “Misplaced,” Zatanna was registered as designation A03. Afterwards, she would become an official member of The Team, but we do not know if her designation changed from A03 to B08 for the rest of Season One. If it turns out that it was changed, was Zatanna’s former designation of A03 just left open for someone else to fill? It would definitely explain why Vandal Savage’s designation was A04 and not A03.

b. The designation B06 was reserved for “Speedy/Red Arrow” (the clone) in the event he would join The Team officially. He stuck around for at least two missions with The Team and then he became a member of the Justice League as designation 21. Since “Red Arrow” was given a new designation, what happened to his former designation as B06? Should I assume that everyone from Artemis onwards moved a designation up (for example, Artemis now can become B06 instead of B07)?

Greg responds...

a. Designations are not recycled. Except for Vandal's since he was never meant to be "authorized" by the League.

b. No. Designations are not recycled.

Hi Greg,

I hope you don't shut down the site, it's excellent being able to reach out to a creator I so admire and discuss their work. On that subject, I was wondering who are some of your influences are as a writer (obviously Shakespeare). Which writers serve as your models or inspiration for plotting stories, writing dialogue, and the writing process as a whole?

Are you familiar with / a fan of Joss Whedon's work? Between Gargoyles and Buffy the Vampire Slayer, you two wrote characters facing some similar challenges (tormented individuals, tragically and unwittingly bound to each other, frequently dealing with the burden of immortality). Obviously Gargoyles came first, I've just noticed you two writing about many of the same themes, and was wondering if you enjoy or find inspiration in his work in general.

Assuming I am granted it, thanks for your time!

Greg responds...

1. This has been answered before. Please look at the "INFLUENCES" section of the ASK GREG archives.

2. Yes, as even a casual glance at the topics in the archive would indicate, e.g. "Buffyverse Geek-Out".

Legacy writes...

I was wondering about the Young Justice video game. Usually when a game comes out on multiple platforms there are differences between each one, both major and minor, due to differences between the system. As Young Justice: Legacy has been revealed to be available on at least five systems, there will most likely be at least minor differences. Is there a specific version you feel is the most canon out of them all?

Thanks.

I'm not well-versed enough about the differences in various platforms to comment. No one's told me that there are different versions of the game.

Does the Justice League or a League member (i.e. Batman, Martian Manhunter) know that the Team have a telepathic link?

If the answer is "yes", why, in the season finale, does Klarion only command just Red Tornado to neutralize Aqualad? Would it not be better to have all Team members subdued at the same time?

Hi Greg. Two unrelated questions.

1) I just realized it. Robin actually hit Shimmer in "The Usual Suspects!" How did you get away with that? My understanding is that a guy hitting a girl in a show like this is strictly verboten.

2) Why did M'gann revert to her white martian form when confronting J'onn in Auld Acquaintance? It seemed unnecessary.

Thanks, Greg.

1. From where did this "understanding" come?

2. It freed up her entire focus on the psychic. She's more powerful in that form.

GraysonRocks writes...

During "Performance" Dick's eyes are clearly visible, yet despite not seeing them before, the team didn't react. I'm curious why this was and if nothing will be mentioned about his eyes or secret identity again. I mean, Dick Grayson is kind of well known, and I feel they should be able to recognize him from the media, thus giving up his secret identity. I know the Young Justice universe is different than the others, but I find it odd that Robin would show his eyes because despite being more trusting than Batman, he still seems to be very cautious. Anyways, I was just wondering if Robin's eyes or identity will be covered. Love the show a whole lot and thanks for taking time to answer question!

Greg responds...

How is Dick Grayson "well known"? Because as a kid he was a circus performer? Because his parents were murdered? Because he was adopted by Bruce Wayne? Any media that might have been generated by any of this was FOUR YEARS AGO. Think about how much physcial change any boy goes through between the ages of 9 and 13. And do you really think any media focused close enough on his eyes that Roy or Artemis would have studied them so closely that four years later they'd recall those eyes when they see them out of context? (And of course, Superboy wasn't born four years ago, and M'gann wasn't on Earth.)

And in any case, Dick WAS WEARING A MASK the whole time. If glasses work for Clark Kent, then a mask can certainly work for Dick Grayson even if his irises and pupils are visible.

Marvelman writes...

Hi, Greg. Sorry. But this is a criticism. As a huge Captain Marvel fan, I was a little miffed by how Zatanna took out Captain Marvel in the fight on board the watchtower. Captain Marvel has in recent years been depicted as being invulnerable to all but the highest level magic. Furthermore, Billy's powers come from a lord of order - Shazam! Would a spell of that magnitude really be affected by Zatanna's "baby magic?" It is (maybe) a minor detail, but I think you were being inconsistent in regards to Zatanna's power level here. Now, if it had been Klarion or Fate casting the spell...

I would like to thank-you though for a great if extremely protracted season. I do sometimes go out of my way to be polite because others on this forum can be so rude, but I'm not kissing your butt here. I think Young Justice is the best superhero show ever. And yes, I am ranking it above Batman: the Animated Series.

Greg responds...

Well, we'll just have to disagree. If Captain Marvel can be blindsided by a punch, he can be blindsided by a magic spell. And Zatanna's abilities may be "baby magic" to a LORD OF CHAOS, but Cap is no Lord of Chaos or Order - even if his powers do "come from a lord of order" (which by the way, I'm neither confirming or denying vis-a-vis Earth-16). Cap has a kryptonite-like vulnerability, which Zatanna exploited.

And for the record, statements like "X has in recent years been depicted" don't interest me much. I'm always trying to get to the core truth of any character in the show. But most of these characters are older than I am, and I can't be enslaved by every depiction that ever existed, whether recent or not.

Otherwise, thanks for the kind words.

-John Stewart and Hal Jordan REALLY don't like Guy Gardner. Is there a reason for that?

-Why isn't the Watchtower weaponized?

-Do Batman or Black Canary have any kind of mentor-student relationship to Wildcat in this universe?

-What exactly do Bruce Wayne and Lex Luthor know about each other? Have they ever met?

-Depictions of Batman tend to fall between two extremes. On end of the spectrum is the Ubermensch Batman who can predict everything, is always right, take down the Justice League on his own, outmatch Darkseid, and can fight Superman solo and win. On the other end of the spectrum is the Chris Nolan kind of Batman who is just a regular guy of slightly above average intelligence who fights crime with resourcefulness and rigorous training, with backup guys like Lucius Fox doing most of the genius work. A happy medium between these two I would say is the Batman from the Justice League series and BTAS. Where would you say your Batman falls on this scale? Towards one end, the other, or in the middle?

Greg responds...

1. ASKED AND ANSWERED.

2. Why would it be?

3. Black Canary was mentored by Wildcat, among others. Batman worked with him too.

4. I'm sure they've met.

5. The middle, I guess. Though I'm not sure Nolan's Batman really represents one end of the scale. Particularly if the other end is a Batman that's omniscient, omnipresent and omnipotent.

Mr. Greg Weisman,

The Season One finale episode was the best episode ever next to "Usual Suspects." It's been a great first season, and I hope the second season does just as good. On to my questions for this particular episode.

1. Was the kryptonite that Robin used to stop Superman actually shaped like a bullet? I wasn’t sure since he moved it towards the screen rather quickly.

2. Batman was under the influence of Starro Tech when he said that Roy Harper was switched with his clone shortly after becoming Green Arrow’s protégé. Personally, I DON’T think Batman was telling the truth at that time (because heroes under the influence of mind-control never do tell the REAL truth). With that fact in mind, was the real Roy Harper on ANY of the past Season One episodes besides the brief appearance at Cadmus at the closing moments of the finale episode? It would be hard to believe that the clone has been around since 2007.

3. The six Starro Tech-controlled Justice League members who returned from their unknown mission appeared to be a nod to the two-part Justice League episode called “A Better World,” in which they were a group of anti-heroes called the Justice Lords in an alternate timeline. Am I correct with what I just said? Now that I think about it, were any other nods to other DC animated media during this entire season? If there was, then this must have been the only one that I’ve actually noticed.

4. Are Dr. Spence and all the Genomorphs at Cadmus dead… or were they just knocked out? Also, if Guardian WAS the cause of it (regardless of what their fate was), was it because he was also under the influence of Starro Tech as well?

5. Because Vandal Savage was registered as designation A04, I’m worried that if his designation is not removed, he can not only gain access to Watchtower, but to other locations such as The Hall of Justice and Mount Justice, and therefore all secret locations could be compromised. With the immediate crisis over, will Vandal Savage’s designation be removed from Justice League computer systems?

Thanks for taking the time to read my questions. Looking forward to the Invasion in the coming week!

Greg responds...

1. I don't remember the shape per se.

2. No. Batman (or rather Vandal using Batman as a mouthpiece) used the partial truth to create a more convincing lie.

3. Not particularly. It was more of just a general nod to the Justice League series as a whole.

3a. Probably. None that leap out at me.

4. Knocked out.

4a. By now you know Guardian was a clone too. So, no, it wasn't Starro-Tech. It was his Cadmus programming.

5. Of course.

Did Captain Marvel ever get the cure chip? What did Zatanna say before he said SHAZAM! What's it like being so awesome?

Greg responds...

1. Yes, of course. Originally, Zatanna had a line of dialogue where she uses that as an excuse to stay behind (and pull the Helmet off her father). The line got cut for time. But eventually, both Captain Marvel and Wonder Woman would have gotten the cure chip.

2. Zatanna's spells in episode 126:

*Etativel taht ssorg gniht.
*Trulb tuo Mazahs!
*Temleh, esaeler ym rehtaf!

3. Ah, shucks, you're making me blush.
