Hey Greg,

Actually, I don't have a question. I just wanted to commend you on the outstanding job that you've done on Young Justice and Young Justice: Invasion. Please don't let the fanboys and fangirls get to you! Continue to do what you do best--write and produce an excellent animated t.v. show! :D

Marvelman writes...

Greg, I'm really sorry about how some of the fans have been talking to you on this web-site. I think that world of comics and animation and sci-fi fandom is populated by a lot of misfits who don't seem to fit in anywhere else. For these people, Young Justice is their happy place, and when you mess with their happy place, they get mad. This is especially true of the "shipping" fans. Mess with Wally and Artemis and they'll bite. I'm not excusing it; I've just been pondering the vociferous reaction of some fans to the changes in Young Justice cast. And I have come to the conclusion that these kinds of fans are not going to go away. This psychological make-up is what makes them fans in the first place. If it is any consolation, you and Brandon have managed to create something that people obviously care about.

2) Paula, Artemis' mom, was once a super-villain. Did she fight any current Leaguers? If so, which ones?

3) M'Gann's brain blast which we saw her use in "Image" is a formidable power - especially since most super-villains (or heroes) don't have a defense against that kind of power. Why doesn't she use it more often? Wouldn't it solve a lot of problems?

4) This is a spoiler request, but it's soooo benign... One of your designers drew this great picture of Wally and his mom at his kindergarden graduation but it was not ready in time to be included in "Coldhearted." I wonder if it still might appear on the show at some point?

For some reason my brain has a fascination with Martian culture currently...

1.) Does sarcasm exist on Mars?

2.) Could you please list some other (as in not the one from Images) Martian children games?

3.) Did Miss Martian have any trouble learning to use Terran based tech because her main source of information was outdated?

I just read a comment there about shows being leaked on youtube. Not taking away from what you creative guys do but I think a lot of the blame should go to how the industry is structured. Taking Young Justice for example, If you live somewhere like America were Young Justice is screened on tv, catch up service on the Cartoon networks website(probably), available for purchase digitally from Itunes or Amazon or on a region 1 DVD, then there's no excuse. But due to international copyright laws that's not the case for those outside of the US, the show hasn't been made available to purchase in any way.

And it goes both ways. There are popular european tv shows, particularly british shows that US citizens want but can't purchase due to the DVD region system. Or if they can they are expected to wait for two-three years possibly, indefinately. Look at Gargoyles. It's only been partially released in the US, there's been zero releases to the rest of the world.

The best way to discourage piracy, in my opinion, is to make content available universally, so people are actually able to purchase the SAME content at the SAME time. If not through DVDS then digitally. I don't know why the entertainment has such a problem with this?

People need to calm down about their but hurt over the time skip, I know for a fact that your a good writer and people need to take a chill pill and wait to see the amazing story that you'll be unfolding.

Will we see the full dynamics of how each new member of the team interacts with each other because this season seems to be more action oriented based on the amazing fluid fighting animation featured in the first episode of Invasion and the general lack of camaraderie between the female members? I'm not complaining about the fantastic fighting choreography I just want to know if they'll be more action or less character development.

How do you come up with the fight sequences in the show? do you consult martial artist for fighters like Robin, Batgirl and Wonder Girl or do you take inspiration from the comic's fight sequences?

Do you keep each character's fighting style's diffrent? With a new Robin in the cave and an the previous one still being active in the team will we see a difference in both of their fighting styles?

In someone in charge of the fighting choreography? If so who is this person and what is his/her name?

Bothergirl writes...

Don't listen to the nasty comments about the time skip. It only made me more curious about the progress of the series. I promise, you won't lose a fan in me;)

Anyway, I haz a question. In the episode 'Auld Acquaintance', why did Red Arrow wanted to know something about Aqualad that he hadn't told anyone else, and how did he know that someone broke his heart? Silly detail, but I like silly details^^

quigonkenny writes...

Long time listener, first time caller... ^_^ Love the Invasion time skip. It really shakes things up, and while some people may be scared by that, I find this unexpected development to be refreshing in this day and age of cookie cutter cartoon plots. I look forward to seeing how we got from there to here. Now to my questions:

1. Loved Lobo, hope we see more of him, but I couldn't help but think his alien language (Interlac, by the dialog) seemed incredibly familiar. Given that you've mentioned that Invasion will be much more sci-fi than the first season, could it be that you--ah...borrowed...a language from that paragon of sci-fi sagas, the Star Wars movies? Particularly Huttese? If so, how did that come about?

2. Was the "Vlatavastok" mentioned in "Happy New Year" a) related to Vertigo's country of Vlatava, b) a mispronunciation or misspelling of real-world location Vladivostok, or c) an original location meant to reference both of the above?

I had some other questions, but they appear to have already been asked, so I'll have to be patient and wait for them to be answered here or on the show. Thanks again for inserting some much-needed unpredictability back into the cartoon world, and for continuing to run this site amidst the idiocy rampant on the internet.

So, if Vandal Savage does not consider himself a villain...does he believe he is a hero of some sort? I know he was a hero in the past, but does he still believe himself to be a hero now? If not, what is he? In the middle?

Hello Greg, my question concerns Blue Devil's coloring. When he first appeared in "Revelation," Blue Devil had white hair and yellow horns. His next appearance in "Agendas" shows him with black hair and white horns, which matches up with how he appeared in the comics. Was there a production error, or was this intentional? What color are his hair and horns supposed to be? Thank you.

Dear Mr Weisman

Hello, if I may first just say I am a huge fan of your work, and also to let you know in my eyes your work (both past and present) not only provides high levels of entertainment, but also and more importantly (and I think many other fans would agree with this) introduces strong morale implications and highly philosophical dilemmas into the younger generation minds (that are simply no longer provided by any other show currently in production) And sets said viewers mind on a path of self discovery over the premise of good and evil, right and wrong by themselves instead of force feeding the premise like other shows do. And in my honest and humble opinion by that act your work doesn’t just entertain the world, it saves it. Which by very definition makes you a HERO

Now on to the question lol

1) From start to finish how long does it take to make and complete a series such as young justice?(I do realise this question may of already been asked but since you’ve cut 6 episodes from the last season I figure the timing going to be different)

2) At what point during the season showing and ratings (2.a and as a side note what number would this most likely have to be) would you receive the green for another season to be made?

3) where is the best place to see your shows episode rating (I have tried everywhere online but just kind seem to find them don’t know if me being in the UK makes a difference) but I realise you might know a site of the top of your head so is your confidence high medium or low?

Thank you for your time and if there are any misspellings or miss wordings my apologies or I have dyspracia (lol the irony if I cant even spell them right) and dyslexia, and I have no doubts about season two because all I have to remember is “Greg Weisman’s working on it” J

A couple of years ago, I heard that some deleted scenes from The Spectacular Spider-Man had been shown at Comic Con. The details surrounding those deleted scenes have been kept under wraps for so long now - is there any chance you could give a breakdown of the sequences that didn't make it into the episodes, please?

I know that one deleted sequence was Shocker being rescued by Fancy Dan and Ox in Group Therapy, and that another was a line by Norman in Final Curtain that he hated how vulnerable Vulture had made him, but could you elaborate on the other stuff that was cut for time please?

When discussing your tally of how many DC characters are in the show, you mentioned that Kent Nelson, Dr. Fate, and Nabu are considered three separate characters by DC, but Bruce Wayne and Batman are considered a single one.

1) I'm wondering where Roy falls on this scale. Does "Roy Harper" count as a single character, or do Speedy (the real Roy) and Red Arrow (the clone) count as two separate characters?
2) If the two Roys are considered separate characters, does the production team think of him as a character original to the show (like Kaldur), a twist on the character (like a heroic Artemis), a unique adaption (like Klarion as a Lord of Chaos), or just a straight take on the character who... happens to be a clone?

I didn't see this one asked before, so I apologize if it was.

In the comics, Dick Grayson chose the name "Nightwing" as a nod to both Batman and Superman. From Superman's Kryptonian heritage, but still with a Batty slant to it.

My questions are:

1) Is this the case on Earth-16, or was it just something Dick thought sounded cool?

2) We didn't see them together in season one, but in the comics, Dick and Clark seem to have a fun, vaguely "favorite nephew" kind of friendship. Did/do they have a similar kind of friendship on Earth 16? Or any kind of friendship?

3) And since she's also a Big Three who knows Bruce and Dicks IDs and expressed a measure of disapproval over Robin in her absolutely awesome speaking appearance of awesomeness, do Dick and Diana have any kind of relationship?

Thanks!

Alex writes...

Why is Nightwing still so much like the happy-go-lucky Robin he once was? Nightwing is born when Robin is filled with anger and decides to rebel against Batman and go solo. Not only would he not be so cheerful, but he wouldn't be a member of a team either. Season 1's Red Arrow was more like Nightwing, not this guy you showed us.

Is Nightwing's origin story still left in tact or did you eliminate the "anger/angst/rebellion" background. Is Nightwing just a new name Robin wants to go by? Did he still leave Gotham and go to Blúdhaven? I don't know... Your Nightwing is just so different from the Nightwing I've always known and loved that I just can't seem to grasp why you made him this way.

Saying "Way to get your feet wet", crossing his arms and then smiling is something Robin would do, not Nightwing. Maybe you'll have him transform later, but as of now, I'm not enjoying your portrayal. It's only been one episode though, so he will still have a chance to impress me.... I just don't think he will.

Hey Greg. I've been wondering for a while about YOUR opinion of a few villains. So, if you don't mind answering.

1) Do you have a favorite villain in YJ, if so who?
2) Do you have any thoughts, or opinions about Savage?
3) Do you have any thoughts, or opinions about Klarion?
4) In YJ is Teekl female or male?
5) Is Klarion all knowing since he is ageless (and powerful)?

I'm still not happy so far with YJ:I, but I still love the way you presented the characters. Not everyone is going to agree, that's just a fact of life.

It would be a shame if Garth couldn't even communicate verbally with Robin or Kid Flash.

3b) If Garth and Tula can speak English, did they know a fair bit in "Downtime" or did they only learn some in the months/years afterwards?

Todd Jensen writes...

I read your interview about "Young Justice" at http://tv.ign.com/articles/122/1223871p1.html last evening. I enjoyed it, but the part that stood out to me the most was your comments on Vandal Savage and his fellow members of the Light as seeing themselves as the heroes and the Justice League as misguided people holding the world back from its proper direction.

That reflected one thought I'd had about the Light for a while (even though I've still only seen the first eight episodes of Season One on DVD, and read about the others on the Internet). Their name had gotten my attention, because the word "light" customarily has good connotations. And their talk in the episodes that I'd seen about "seeing the light" strengthened my suspicions that their goal wasn't conventional super-villain taking over the world, but something more - that these were people with some kind of vision for what the world ought to be like, which they were ready to achieve by any means possible, no matter how moral or ethical those methods were, a kind of "for the greater good" mentality (as "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows" put it). Your interview strengthened that suspicion about the Light - which will certainly make it a group of interesting antagonists.

Dear Greg,
Took me a few days to get time to post my thoughts on Invasion Part 1.

WHAA?! A 5-year jump?! I gotta admit I'm kinda annoyed at the jump. I was looking forward to seeing all the adventures in between. Hack, if I thought you'd answer any of them, I've got like a dozen questions about the interveneing years. But I trust you enough to give it some time, hopefully things will be explained. And maybe if you get a 3rd season, you'll show some of that.
Now onto stuff I enjoyed-all the new heroes in the future look great! I love the casting on Cassie & Jaime. And Lobo, I walways loved Lobo, very cool! And as I expected, Tim Curry chewed the scenery of his big scene, very awesome, rather funny. I hope next week's episode is just as good!

Alexi writes...

Hi Greg!

A couple questions about the additions to the lineup for Invasion.

1. Had rights not been an issue, would you have set up Wondergirl in Season One the way you did Mal, Karen, Gar, and La'Gaan?

2. Did you plan on all of the Season 2 Team members from the beginning? I'm particularly thinking of Blue Beetle since he didn't get a cameo in Season 1.

3. Were the Season 2 recruits drawn from their own list? Or were they the "runners-up," as it were, from your masterlist of young heroes used for Season 1's lineup.

Thanks!

The Captain writes...

First off Mr. Wiesman I would like to say sorry on behalf of the fanbase, obiviously some people have poor impulse control and lash out to those who don't deserve. I am confidant that you and the rest of the Young Justice production team know what you are doing. I won't bore you with the concerns that I have after watching Happy New Year but once again I state that I am confidant in you and the rest to adress those concerns. That being said I do have actual questions to ask. Sorry if some off these have been asked before but as you know it is kind of depressing to read the unanswered section of this blog.

1)Why is Zatanna a member of the Justice League? admittingly part of the reason is that I am sad to see the old Team broken up I do not understand why Zatanna would leave. Being on the Justice League would mean working beside Doctor Fate, who as far as I know, is still controlling her father. Even if she can put aside her feelings to work beside Fate that means she would have leave the team since she is the strongest pure magic user and there seems to be no replacement for her role. Again something that happened during the time skip could explain this and only the first episode of season 2 has aired but her motivation for joining the league are unclear to me as of this writing.

2) How is Rann able to keep up with current members (such as newly inducted Zatanna and Rocket) of the Justice League and put them on their most wanted list while Earth and the Green Lantern Corp are ignorant of this fact, does Rann have the ability to monitor galactic events while keeping a low profile or is there something else at work

3)Finally and I apologize if this seems both a bit whiny and probably asked already (like I said the unanswered archives kind of scare me now) but what was your reasoning for inducting Rocket into the Team in the last two episodes of season one when she leaves to be in the league in season 2. I mean with all the plot threads being tied up in those episodes she didn't get much of a chance to shine so I am wondering why include her when from my perspective she could have appeared as a guest star in an earlier episode and be in the team during the time skip. Once again I am sure you have your reasons and most likely this will be met with SPOILER REQUEST but can the fans expect her tenure on the Team have an effect on stories that if not affect episodes of Invasion at the least the comic book tie in or upcoming Legacy game.

4) SOrry I said I something occured to me while writing the last question but I have a question about legacy. SInce it is a year away and since it is it takes place during the time skip I am worried that if this game were to be cancelled during development the fans would lose valuable insight to what happened between seasons one and two. So this question is that if the game contains information to better understand the transition and this game is cancelled, will that information be avaliable via alternative methods?

Thats it so thank you for your time and I hope that the grief that the more...militant members of the fanbase don't cause you to lose faith in the part of the fanbase who still believe that you and the production team can deliever the same quality entertainment that caused us to become fans in the first place.

1) Did you hear about Artemis Crock appearing in the DC reboot with the Teen Titans?

Crazy brilliant season premiere, team. It's a perfect sequel to the first season: at its core, this series is a story about how the youth of the DCU grow and evolve into adult heroes. Moving from the first 'generation' of sidekicks to a second seems perfectly natural in hindsight. I'm looking forward to getting to know your versions of all of the new characters.

I'm certain that you'll find it impossible to completely ignore the hate generated by the changes to the show - but I hope you don't take any of it to heart. Take it instead as reaffirmation that you have really hooked many viewers - take it to mean that they really care about the characters that you have shaped, and that they are actually afraid for their futures. I want to know what happens with Wally and Artemis and Kal'dur'ahm as much as the next fan - but I also have faith that you and your team will deliver.

However, we still have not seen a green light for a third season. While I don't dislike Green Lantern, I'd much rather Young Justice continue to be a part of DC Nation once Beware the Batman becomes part of the block as opposed to GL:TAS. I live a few miles from Cartoon Network HQ ... do you think it would do any good if I took them cookies on a daily basis in order to convince them to pick up the show for another 26 episodes?

Many thanks to you and the rest of the team for continually delivering the best in entertainment.

2- When did Barbara discover Dick was Robin/Nightwing? When did she become Batgirl? When did she join the team?

3. Err...actually, come to think of it, does Lagoon Boy's species have a name?

3) Why is that it's taken five years for John Stewart, an active Green Lantern, to discover that he's a fugitive in parts of space?

4) In the event that you get a season three, will there be another timeskip? I'm assuming so because if there was going to be just one, one would think that it wouldn't happen after just 26 episodes.

Hello Greg,

This is more a comment and not a question. I wanted to let you know I have really enjoyed Young Justice so far, but I have a slight complaint, I am from Mexico and english is my second language, so whenever I see characters that speak spanish on the show they seem to speak english like stereotypes, and it is somewhat offensive.

Usually Bane will speak mostly perfect sentences in english with complex words in them but then call people "amigo" or "niño", a real person wouldn't do that, as those are some of the first words one learns when learning english. His dialogue with the Kobra guy seems like it was translated literally word by word, like when he says "mi mejor" meaning "my best", although it is a correct literall translation of those two words, that and most of the conversation makes little to no sense in spanish.

A similar case happens with Blue Beetle calling people "hermano" and things of the sort. I understand that you are trying to make it clear that these characters know spanish, or have a latin american background, but I really wish you tried a different approach like the accent Bane spoke in Batman: TAS rather than reinforce a negative stereotype. To give you an idea, it's like if every african-american character on the show spoke in ebonics.

Sorry if I seem to be nitpicking but it really is the only thing that bothers me in the show, other than that. it's very awesome. Thanks for all the hard work and effort you put into it as well as the time you spend answering fans.

You said, before the series started, that you made auditions only for the six first members of the Team (plus Superman, but just because you wanted the same actor to voice him and Superboy). So:
1)Have you made auditions for members of the Team that were introduced in Season One, outside the original six (Zatanna-Rocket-Bumblebee-Batgirl-Mal Duncan-Beast Boy-Lagoon Boy)?
2)Have you made auditions for members of the Team introduced in Invasion (Tim Drake-Blue Beetle-Wonder Girl)?
3)Have you considered hiring new voice actors to voice the now adults Nightwing and Batgirl (let's clarify: this is not a hate message against Jesse McCartney and Alyson Stoner, in fact I like them both a lot in both roles; I'm just asking if you've considered it)?

Dear Mr Weisman,

I have a question or two regarding the ageing of clones:

1. In YJ: Invasion, we see that Superboy hasn't aged much (if at all). Is this due to the fact that he's a clone (much like in the original comics)?

2. If the answer to the above is yes, how is it that the Roy Harper clone was able to age physiologically from 15 to 18 like a normal human?

3.If the answer to the first question is no, how old is Superboy physiologically in YJ: Invasion?

I finally want to thank you for creating such an awesome show. You've earned a fan in Singapore.

Hello Greg.
Just wanted to say that I loved the first ep of season 2!!! It made me happy and sad at the same time; I loved Dick Grayson being the baby of the team but I also like Tim.
I couldn't stand that people were freaking out about old characters not being there and what happened five years ago and blah blah blah: I mean, seriously, were they expecting all that to be in episode ONE??? And I'm 15, some of those people ranting were in college. I was like, nice...real mature.
I seriously believe that you won't let us down and will keep this show amazing.
On Tumblr, a lot of people were seriously posting death threats targeted towards you and Brandon and I was like, people are retarded. Nuff said.
Questions!!! Not sure if you can answer these, but:
1. Does the team know Nightwing's ID?
2. How long has Dick been Nightwing? Tim as Robin?
3. Does Dick live in Bludhaven?
4. Is Dick in college?
5. What made Dick become Nightwing? Did you use the comic story, Dick and Bruce arguing etc?
Thanks so much and I really hope CN orders a season 3!!!

Not to bother you again but I do have another question regurading Conner.

How would he have kept his idenity as Superboy a secret?

In this series as far as I have seen Conner dosen't wear glasses like he did in the comics. He looks the same when he's working with the team as he did when he went to school, s-shield shirt aside. I know YJ is a covert/black ops type team but one would think that Conner got his face caught on a camera somewhere.

Fully expecting it to be months before you get to this question, but patience is a virtue, so...
1) Is the Brain gay? I suspect that you may not answer this one, but nothing ventured, nothing gained, so I thought I'd ask.
2) How did the Brain become a disembodied... well, brain?
3) Two previous posts had you give Wonder Woman's age as 90, then 85. Was the difference because you'd already started working on the post-timeskip timeline?
4) For your production bible, do you assign real names to characters who traditionally lack them (Bane, the Joker, the Brain, etc.)?
5) How does the Light recruit supervillains to work for them (apart from the League of Shadows and the member's own forces)?
Thank you for taking the time to answer my questions, and thank you for Gargoyles, a series I greatly enjoyed when I was younger (I've had the misfortune of not seeing an episode in several years). It meant a great deal to me, and helped inspire my interest in storytelling and Shakespeare (the former more than the latter, but Gargoyles introduced me to the Bard's work). It is very much appreciated, and I will remember Gargoyles for a very long time indeed. Have a good day, sir.

Love the new direction they show has gone in. Happy with the changes. Thank you for FINALLY bringing Blue Beetle in!

I just want to apologize for all the rude comments you are getting from some of the Young Justice fans. Just reading some of these comments makes me embarrassed. I enjoyed the first episode to season two. It was great and exciting and I can’t wait to find out what is awaiting us. Sorry again on behalf of the YJ fandom.

1) What are Tim's strengths and weaknesses? There was a slight controversy over Dick possessing hacking skills, so I'm wondering how Tim translates onto to the show.

2) Would you consider Tim the better, or at least better-trained Robin? Sorry, I'm a big Dick Grayson fan, and a little sensitive over this issue. I love Tim as a character, though, and both characters were rendered well in the premiere.

3) Am I right in believing you and the rest of the staff have most of the longterm plot of the show planned already?

AHHHHHHH! The season 1 finale and season 2 premier just blew my mind.

I smell some serious Greg Weisman subterfuge (or perhaps suprafuge if you ask Robin).

I can remember my tiny heart breaking the first time I saw "Future Tense" on the Disney Afternoon. I couldn't believe what I was seeing. Same goes for "Failsafe".

You're not getting me again. I am already preparing myself for this to be an alternate reality (even though I know you've said that is something you avoided in Gargoyles) or something. I may have spotted a small clue that affirmed this in the final scene's time stamp.

Not guessing, just looking forward to enjoying whatever you have in store.

Also, loved the Black Spider cameo. Very clever. Spectacular Spiderman was an awesome show and the new Ultimate Spiderman is GARBAGE. Just really, really bad.

Thanks for all of the enjoyment I've been getting out of YJ as well as all of your old work! You truly are the very best at what you do!

Keep it up.

In Season 2 of Young Justice, Beast Boy is Garfield Logan, and Batgirl is Barbara Gordon, correct?

btgr writes...

My reviews on Nightwing, Robin/Tim Drake, Batgirl, Blue Beetle/Jaime Reyes, Lagoon Boy, Wondergirl and Gordon Godfrey after watching the very perfect "Happy New Year". BTW Greg don't listen to all those idiots who talk nonsense about the "Time Skip" and the new characters.

Nightwing and Robin/Tim Drake:
I didn't know I would be seeing those two guys very early in the show, but they both have great lines, personalities and costumes though. Plus they are both two of my most favourite DC heroes. I loved the conversions between those two. I also love the part where Robin teams up with Blue Beetle and Lagoon Boy.

Batgirl:
HA!!! I always knew Batgirl exists on Earth 16!!! I liked the part where she teams up with Wonder Girl. Great costume and I'm surprised that you gave her black coloured boots and gloves. She's one of my most favourite DC heroines. Would be great to hear some one-liner jokes from her though. And yes Greg, "she is all that!!!"

Blue Beetle/Jaime Reyes:
"That guy" and Batman: The Brave and the Bold is what got me into DC Comics in the first place. I love his costume, powers, Spanish quotes and jokes. His voice is so funny that I just simply laugh everytime he says a word. The part where he talks to his costume was also funny. I would love to see his girlfriend Traci 13 on YJ though, hopefully time will tell. Overall this is why Blue Beetle/Jaime Reyes is one of my most favourite DC heroes. Oh and congratulate his voice actor for making him so funny!!!

Lagoon Boy:
I'm not very familar with him, but I like his appearance, powers and voice.

Wondergirl:
I'm a huge fan of her outfit after watching the episode. But I really couldn't believe people on youngjustice.wikia are complaining about her shoes. Just don't listen to them Greg, I actually think her shoes are cute.

Gordon Godfrey:
Like Blue Beetle, his voice is so funny!!! I've actually never heard of him before. But I have heard of "Godfrey", it's an Australian company that sells vacuum cleaners.

My final thoughts:
All those characters that I've reviewed are now on my list of favourite YJ characters, I've watched "Happy New Year" at least 4 times now and I've actually told JM DeMatteis about Blue Beetle/Jaime Reyes on your show. Hopefully the rest of Season 2 will turn out perfect. Bye Greg!!!

The start to season two was awesome!!!!!!!

So many questions! This show is amazing and does not treat its viewers like kids. I appreciate that you give us intelligently scripted plots and it calls for patience and those who want their hands held and everything nice and cute and shippy...well go watch Nickelodeon. Five years has passed. People change and GROW up. This season has a sense that the show is growing up too and reflect that change. Miss Martian and Conner breaking up is actually the most understandable/realistic change in all of it. They were kids and they were not even normal teens. But it would be pretty cliche setting Lagoon boy as the fall guy so Conner can pine and Megan can pretend she doesn't care for Conner and we have a silly love traingle. Let them move on for goodness sakes. I loved seeing Nightwing leading the team and in time I am sure we will get the stories behind the changes. I sense he and Zatanna have a little vibe but again, maybe they moved on. They were kids too.

Wondergirl (she was awesome), Blue Beetle (so funny),Lobo (love that he got his bounty...he's a tough) Glorious Godfrey (yeeee Darkseid???) Batgirl, Tim Drake, Adam Strange...I love the new heroes and characters and curious to find out what happened to Kaldur, Artemis and Wally. What did the League do for those missing hours and why are they wanted. Oooh so exciting. I for one can't wait and it will be torture to have to wait a whole week...The shows are just not long enough.

So ignore the crybabies.

Marvelman writes...

Hi Greg. I have tried my best to put my top concerns in to questions you can actually answer.

1) As seen in the season premiere, you have removed Wally, Artemis, and Kaldur as series regulars. Yet, Dick, M'Gann, and Connor (and Wolf) remain. Was this decision based upon favoritism, or was it a purely storytelling decision?

2) Why is it that the relationship between Wally and Artemis always seems to be the last thing you address? Is this just to torture us?

3)I'm a little miffed that Zatanna is off the team. She wasn't on the team for very long and never got as much development as she could have. I guess there's only so much screen time to go around when there are so many characters running around.

CrossPoison writes...

Hi Greg,
I have some questions concerning Superboy's age. Call it too much time, but it's your fault, creating such an interesting character.
1. Since Superboy has never left his pod, I was wondering if he was 'born' in there as a new-born baby, and aged one year each week, or was he created as a teenage boy?
2. If the latter is true, does he age physically outside his pod? Because I couldn't really see much difference between the 2010-Superboy and the 2016-Superboy.

I live in a country where YJ isn't aired in television, but me and my sister are in tension each Saturday, waiting for the newest episode to be uploaded. And today's episode really overwhelmed us with the new characters and the time leap. Awesome.

Wow. Reading through the unanswered questions, no wonder you've gotten so angry over people constantly asking for spoilers.

Good job with the opening for season 2. I heard something about a time skip but didn't expect it that far into the future. It seems like an odd choice but I have faith in you and the others to keep it glorious. Well, I guess y'all already have been, the season opener was real good.

1.) What was this site before it became AskGreg? Was it just another Gargoyles fansite or something like that?

Eagle-Owl writes...

To the "fans", I think you ought to have a little more faith in Greg.

I'm not exactly praising the first episode of Invasion that much, but remember one thing: it's Greg Weisman! He made Gargoyles, The Spectacular Spider-Man, the second season of W.I.T.C.H., and this incredible first season of Young Justice! This is all top-notch work, and one "bad egg" shouldn't change what you think of his work. Knowing how Greg works, I'm sure the rest of Invasion will be worth waiting for. If you don't like the first episode of Invasion (and I'm not saying it's a masterpiece or even anything that great), that's your issue, but please don't turn your back on Greg's top-notch work just for that. He'll make it work. I have faith in that.

ShawnF writes...

First and foremost, great writing. As an animation aficionado for many years, I continue to enjoy where things go, and how things unfold. Kudos for the time jump, I look forward to the "look backs" to see how things have unfolded to where we are today. (I'm assuming this look backs, of course, but I'm sure through the process, you'll have to explain how things went from A>B)

My questions have to do more with process and collaboration with DC.

1) With the reboot of the DC Comics, is it easier or more difficult to reach into DC history for storyline or character shaping? An example is in episode 2:1. Pulling Glorious Godfrey out of hallowed antiquity is very nice...many of your fans weren't even alive when "Legends" was published...and Kudos do Tim Curry. I will say, it sounded a bit like "The Voice of London" there for a moment (from "V") but, once I listened, you can hear ole Frank-N-Furter warming up...For me, he will always be Sir Gawain in "Prince Valiant" but I digress.

2) With the reboot, how much interaction do you have with Dan (Dido), Jim (Lee) et al...from the stand point so you can to reference the past without copying exact story lines, allowing the story to move in its own direction?

Thanks for you time.

Eagle-Owl writes...

Just saw "Happy New Year". I will admit it was kinda confusing with the timeskip, but it was worth the time. And Tim Curry as G. Gordon Godfrey was PRICELESS!!

1) What's it like working with Tim Curry again? Did you ever want him back on W.I.T.C.H. or Spider-Man?

2) What was Lobo saying in his original language?

3) What were the Kroloteans (is that correct spelling?) saying?

4) What are Zatanna's spells in Usual Suspects and Auld Acquaintance?

Sammy writes...

Hey Greg! I don't know why people are being so apprehensive about the time-skip-thing. I absolutely love it!! Fantastic episode! I'm more excited to see next week's episode than ever! :D

Hi Greg! I looked through the archives and found that you previously mentioned that the first couple seasons of Gargoyles cost $400k-500k per episode to produce.

Assuming the cost of haven't changed dramatically, it seems as though animation is cheaper than the standard scripted network show. Given that, I'm surprised there aren't more animated shows on the major networks, especially with anime so popular in the US now, particularly among older audiences.

I think the only weakness to Young Justice is that it feels like the stories are big enough to fit in a whole hour, but are being condensed to thirty minutes. Again, assuming the cost of animation is in the ballpark of what it was for Gargoyles, an hour-long show doesn't strike me as financially prohibitive.

1. Can you say how much Young Justice costs to produce? A ballpark would be fine if you can't/don't want to give exact numbers.

2. What are your thoughts on the lack of non-Fox/non-comedy prime-time animation? Do you think this is something that can change in the future?

3. Do you think we might one day see hour-long dramatic animation? Did you ever consider making YJ an hour long?

Thank you very much for many excellent shows and opening yourself up for questions from the community!

Not so much a question as food for thouht...I'm still doing my research and reading through every past Q&A (tangent here...cant anybody do something about all the repeated posts? There are far too many "askef & answered"s...but leave the "spoiler requests" - they actually give some information sometimes) & I've noticed that you are obviously one of a large number of people who dont like "spoilers" - and you tend to berate those who activly post/seek them out. Now I realize this is your forum, so basically what you say goes...but are you aware (or even care) that there are just as many people out there, like myself, whose enjoyment of most media precludes our knowing how it turns out? Ill give you an example...I will wait YEARS before watching a critcally acclaimed Hollywood blockbuster until I know for sure its worth investing even two short hours (ie. I refuse to watch a movie where the main character/animal dies senselessly at the end... as its a waist of my time and insulting - and the "sometimes death is senseless" argument doesnt work for me...reality IS senseless enough, thats why I like my fiction to make some sense at least...its called "escape" and nit "the eavening news" for a reason).
understand that you definatly would not agree with me, but is it really that hard to understand why some people would get more enjoyment out of your work if they had more to look forward to than the old (an eternally frustrating"just watch and see"? - I cant even tell you how many times Ive up and left the room when everybody else has seen the movie and nobody will answer a simple yes or no question because they didnt want to "ruin it" for me, when in fact they just did.
Basically what im getting at is, could you please not villify those who hust want to know a little more than your giving...Im not asking you to give more, but just because someone doent think like you, doesnt mean they are thoughtless.
Thank you for your time and talent.

The most often asked question to you must be "Will you ever bring back Gargoyles with new episodes or a remake?"
I to wish to know if ever it could happen but my question is about what form of animation would you most like to do it in ?
With CGI or the original style ?
A remake with to many changes so much that its like what they did in G.I.Joe and Transformers ?
The first version is always the best. If its not broke why try to fix it ? A re-shooting with a shrek cgi type animation would look fabulous. In any case I thank you so much for this series and I also loved Mummies Alive.

b. While we've seen Cissie's father, where is her mother on Earth-16? I would hate to believe that the father is taking care of Cissie all by himself, because that would be just so sad.

Thanks!

Out of curiosity, has an Earth-16 prequel series (before the events of Young Justice in 2010) which can focus only on the Justice League ever been considered?

So! Now that Young Justice has started it's second season and we're heading more towards the Young Justice team as seen in the comics such as, Lagoon Boy (showed up once), Tim Drake, Superboy, Wonder Girl, Secret (Already featured in an episode), Arrowette (Who was also featured in the series but not as a hero). Im assuming that Impulse(Bart Allen) will be appearing soon as well. Comments?

In Auld Lang Syne, what did Zatanna say to make Captain Marvel say "Shazam!" I'm always curious about the backwards text, but it's often said fast, in the heat of battle, making it hard to decode. Since you have access to the script, I thought I'd ask.

Since the video game is multiplatform, will there be any differences between any of the console versions than the others?
For example, will the nintendo DS or Wii version be drastically different from the PS3 or Xbox 360 version of the game since they have different graphics and control systems?

Also, why is Zatanna shown as an adult on the game page, but everyone else still as a minor?

I just saw someone's question about an error in the France timestamp in Misplaced and you telling him you can't be wrong because you were too careful. Obviously, you were not as careful as you thought because he was completely right. It says November 5 4:09 CEST when daylight savings in France and all other EU countries ends in the last Sunday of October. It should have been CET.

I kinda feel bad for the guy who just asked you a question about an obvious error of yours and you answered acting like you're above small errors like that. Hey, it happens to everybody, you could've been more polite and just admitted your mistake.

Hello Mr. Weisman. You won't remember me - I asked a question a while back about CN's rules about guns on the show.

Anyway, as somebody who really wants to write for television in the future, I'm asking you if you have any tips for breaking into the industry. I'm a high school junior so I'm beginning to look at colleges and was wondering if you had any advice to give out when it comes to getting into the buisness of television writing.

As always, love the series and can't wait for more!

Hi Greg,

I really enjoyed the first episode of Young Justice: Invasion. I have a couple questions:

1. It seems that as team is still covert and being run by Nightwing. Would you consider the team as Earth-16's equivalent to the Outsiders?
2. What made you decide to not have the viewer hear Blue Beetle's suits discussions with Jaime?

Brandon writes...

Hi Greg,

Let me first say that there are plenty of things about Young Justice that I really enjoy, but I don't want to waste your time by listing everything. I do have one question though:

In "Happy New Year!", when it's revealed what happened during the 16 hours that some league members were missing, it seems like no one had figured it out already. Are we really supposed to believe that Batman (the world's greatest detective) just gave up trying to figure out where he went? I mean, he had plenty of time to investigate it. Again, thanks for a great show!

Reiena Grayson writes...

If people are saying you ruined Young Justice, I don't think you did, I'm more curious about the show more than ever. Love Tim's look, and attitude, and loving that Dick still isn't part of the League. I had a feeling that Bumblebee would be in it, Love that Cassie is Wondergirl, and Blue Beetle is funny when he's talking to the Scarab. Okay, now the big part.

I'm so glad Dick hasn't lost his personality over five years, but will we be seeing more of his wordplay in the future is my question (don't have to answer, will be following intensly.

I think the time skip was perfect, since and invasion like what was seen today could take a lot of planning, and Vandal has some kind of plan, I just know it.

Okay, my rant is over, but overall, I was WHELMED, but I couldn't take my eyes off the screen, so I guess I was OVERwhelmed. LOL, got in a bit of Dick's wordplay.

Can't wait for more, Greg, and thanks for a great show.

Kofi Ki-Moon writes...

Hey Greg. I just had one question I wanted to ask you.

1. In the 2nd episode of the Pilot for Gargoyles, Owen mentions that Wyvern castle is haunted. Was this just originally a throw away line similar to Matt Bluestone's line about the Illuminati, or was did was the line meant all long to lay the seeds for a possible episode in the (then) future about the ghost of Hakon and the Captain? Or has it been so long that you honestly don't remember, because if it was that I honestly do understand.

Thanks.
