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?
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.
I'm sure that you must be frustrated with fans and might even want to shut this website down. But if you do shut it down, I hope that despite that you will still post updates on the progress of any of your works. Whether Young Justice or any future show. It'll still be more than enough =) Thanks for the updates. Nice to know how any of your show's progress is =)
Thanks. I've backed away from thoughts of shutting the site down for now.
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!
Wow, thanks. Glad you liked it!
Greg! You are my hero (professionally at least. I mean, face it, I don't know you. You could be an axe-murderer). I want to spend my life doing what you do. Any pieces of advice for an aspiring writer? What are good ways to train myself / further my writing skills / develop confidence in my voice (or my character's voices)? How did you get your start professionally, and what are some good avenues towards putting your work out in the world?
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.
1. Did sportsmaster worked for the light before paula kicked him out?
2. Was krypton xenophobic and was there every a kryptoian green lantern?
1. Yes.
2. NO COMMENT.
Hi Greg.
1) In Agendas, in your opinion, which leaguers would have voted to expel Captain Marvel had it been put to a vote?
2) With which leaguers is Captain Marvel especially friendly with?
1. I'll leave that either to your imagination or to a future story (maybe in the comics).
2. All of them, really. He's a friendly guy. But I do think he's a bit closer to Batman, Red Tornado, Superman, Black Canary and Wonder Woman than some of the others.
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. Hereâs where I need to ask two tricky questions about the topic.
a. From her introduction into the show until the concluding events of âMisplaced,â 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 Zatannaâs former designation of A03 just left open for someone else to fill? It would definitely explain why Vandal Savageâs designation was A04 and not A03.
b. The designation B06 was reserved for âSpeedy/Red Arrowâ (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 âRed Arrowâ 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)?
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!
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".
Dear Mr. Greg,
1. Is Rocket and Aqualad supposed to be a *couple* pairing?? Sorrry Im kinda still a little dazed from the last episode (Auld Acuaintince). If so.. i luvv it!! XD
1. SPOILER REQUEST. NO COMMENT.
Are Robin and Zatanna a couple now?
SPOILER REQUEST. NO COMMENT.
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.
I'd just like to say thanks. This is one awesome show.
You're very welcome.
A few questions about Black Adam
1.was he granted his powers by shazam?
2. are they based on the egyptian gods?
3.is he Teth-Adam,or Theo Adam?
4.has he ever ruled Khandaq,or fought Captain Marvel one on one?
5.while a hero did he ever use the name Mighty Adam?
1. NO COMMENT.
2. NO COMMENT.
3. ASKED AND ANSWERED.
4. NO COMMENT.
5. I dunno. In translation, maybe.
You said before that after season one was finished you could talk more about the characters selected to be a part of the team during the season...So, what made you choose those characters for season 1?
I think I've already answered this generally. Check the archives. If you have more specific questions AFTER reading our general approach, I'm happy to answer them.
What other cartoons are watching right now and would recomend?
Green Lantern is the only cartoon I have time to watch these days, I'm afraid. And I would definitely recommend it.
Wow! The season finale was phenomenal! Can't wait for Invasion! :)
1. In the comics, Roy's middle name is William. Is that true for Earth-16 as well?
Thanks so much!
1. I dunno. Probably.
As of Auld Acquaintance, does J'onn know that M'gann is a White Martian?
Of course. He's ALWAYS known.
Who assigns storyboard artists? You've got big names like Lauren Montgomery, Curt Geda, Michael Goguen, some lesser known ones, and some who I think are people at MOI.
The directors make board assignments - to a great extent based on who is AVAILABLE. We have/had some staff board artists, but a lot of the work was done freelance.
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?
1. They know M'gann is capable of creating one, if that's what you mean.
2. Now, how would Tornado have accomplished that? You have to start somewhere.
I have a question do you are going to ever release a soundtrack or the little music in the background of each episode in a disk because I love the sounds that you put? sorry if the question is silly or stupid I could`t contain myself to ask.by the way my brother and I love your show.
I don't think it's a dumb question at all, and there's been some discussion about it. I have nothing concrete to report at this time, but if/when I do, believe me I'll be pimping it here. (I assume we're talking about YJ, right?)
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.
1. Where Dr.Spence, Dubbliex, and the Genomorphs get killed at the end of "Auld Aquaintance"?
2. Did Sportsmaster, and Bane get sent to Belle Reve *hopes that this isn't a spoiler question*
3. Since Hugo Strange is no longer the warden of Belle Reve, did Amanda Waller get her job back?
Anyways, Greg. With Young Justice you've created a really really great show, when you look at the season, it's just one big superhero epic, This show is up there with Justice League, BTAS,and Spectacular Spider Man.
1. They didn't.
2. It's kind of a moot question by the beginning of Season Two.
3. NO COMMENT.
4. Thanks.
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!
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.
I heard that it was previously stated (though this may be incorrect) that Robin wasn't going to get a love interest. What prompted you to change this? I also just wanted to pop in and say I love the show:)
You "heard it was previously stated"? Heard where? Stated by whom? It was certainly never previously stated by ME.
Nothing changed. Our plans for the character remained the same from beginning to end.
What are Rocket's superpowers?
Flight and the ability to create a force field bubble around herself or others.
