1. If you could be a super hero from the Team or Justice League, who would you be and why?
2. Have you seen any Young Justice fan art before and what'd you think about them?
3. What was your favorite episode to create?
I just wanted to know your opinion. I don't think anyone's asked this yet...as far as I've checked at least.
1. I have my own heroes.
2. Most of it is great. (Every once in a while it's disturbing.)
3. I don't really have a single favorite.
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?
I no longer remember, I'm afraid.
I notice both Garth and Lagoon Boy are voiced by my favourite all-time VA, Yuri Lowenthall. Is there a connection between these two or did you just select Yuri because he did the best voice for Lagoon?
Uh, Yuri played La'gaan in Season One, when all he had was one line. We were paying him for Garth, and we get a second voice free.
So now, Season Two comes along. La'gaan is older, so we had the option of recasting, because his voice could have changed. But who better than Yuri, so why recast?
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?
1. Two.
2. You're making distinctions, shaving the pie, that we're not making. Judge for yourself, I guess.
1. Is Captain Atom the leader of the Justice League now?
2. Do Wolf and the Super Cycle have their own designations?
3. What was in the capsule that was used om Clayface in Happy New Year?
4. When Doctor Fate inhabits someone does their body age?
5. Why do Hawkman and Hawkwoman have different wing coloration?
1. As of Season Two, yes.
2. ASKED AND ANSWERED.
3. Calcifying foam.
4. Yes.
5. My wife and I have different hair colors. It's not a law on Thanagar that spouses have to have the same color wings.
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!
1. SPOILER REQUEST. NO COMMENT.
2. Yes.
3. I don't think she disapproves of Robin. But in hindsight - at least at that moment - she questioned Batman's judgement on allowing Dick to become a crimefighter at nine and Billy to join the League at ten. That's not an unreasonable position to take.
What is Wonder Girl's real name? Is it Cassandra Sandsmark?
Yes.
Now that there's a new cast of characters, is there a specific character you enjoy writing? or a superhero you always liked? I've noticed you include captain atom alot, even though he's only spoken once (which was pretty awesome), and you've used him in brave and the bold, and he's one of the few figures produced (and the only one i've bought (because you cancelled before Captain Marvel and Blue Beetle xC ))
Okay, first off, I did not cancel anything. I have no control over what toys they do or do not put out. ZERO.
Second, yes, of course, I like Captain Atom. I wrote the character for years and years. I have an affinity for him. But most of our decisions about who gets how much screen time are story driven.
And I like all these characters - a LOT.
But the most fun character to write is G. Gordon Godfrey.
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.
I've never bought that the reason for Nightwing becoming Nightwing was because he needed to 'rebel' against Batman. Never made any sense to me. Children grow and graduate and evolve into adults. They don't have to reject their parents to do it. And, seriously, how does becoming Nightwing - i.e. a guy who wears dark clothes - work as a symbolic rebellion from Batman? He could have stayed Robin and rebelled. Or he could have rebelled and gone for an opposing persona, like "The Bright Blue Finch-Man" or something. Nightwing doesn't "shout" rebellion to me.
In any case, we may never agree on the portrayal, but I hope you'll give our version a chance. And as for your specific note about his dialogue with Robin, I'll just say that I've been reading Nightwing's exploits for DECADES now, and he's not beyond still being DICK GRAYSON in a lighter moment.
Why is aqualad underuse compare to the other characters?
I don't agree that he is.
Mr.Weisman , you seem to have an affinity for breaking the fandom's heart , I do hope you mend it soon. Now for my question , M'gann seems to be very...different from what we were used to , did she really change that drastically in five years?
Five years is a LONG time in the life on an adolescent. She's fundamentally the same person, but, yes, things have changed. Though, honestly, I don't know what you think you saw during the FIRST episode of the new season that convinced you her changes were 'drastic'.
Would you ever consider doing an Earth-16 Arrow family spin-of?
I already HAVE considered it! I'd love to do it. But right now we're focused on the show, not any spinoffs.
Were you imagining that Hound of Ulster and the Irish Clan were physically reminiscent of "Scottish stock" or "English Stock"? I ask given the geographic closeness between those two "classifications" of Gargoyles and also I'm Irish so I'm interested.
I'd go more Celtic with 'em.
So was Demona's clan all in one place when they were destroyed by Canmore? Given that Demona had previously split them in cells to ensure their survival that makes little sense. Couldn't a handful of them survived?
Did Canmore say he smashed them while they slept, or did he just say that he killed them all? I can't remember at the moment.
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.
1. Nope. I like pretty much all of them.
2. I do, yes.
3. Many.
4. Yes.
5. Nah.
A 2-3 year time skip I could understand, but a 5 year one seems a little drastic. Was this move influenced by the knowledge that the show might only end up with a total of 2-3 seasons?
It had nothing whatsover to do with our so-called 'prospects'. It had everything to do with what Brandon and I WANTED to do with the show from Day One.
And, just so I'm clear, three years is understandable, but five isn't, so would four have been okay? Four and a half? Three years and seven months and eighteen days?
(Okay, yeah, now I'm being a smartass. But think about it.)
1) Is Mal Duncan an Authorized Guest or a Team member?
2) How long has Batgirl been fighting crime?
3a) Can Garth and Tula speak English? Everything spoken in Atlantis from just after the Aqualad/Aquaman conversation in "Downtime" was an English translation of the spoken Altantean I believe, so I'm curious as to whether Garth or Tula can speak English. 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?
1. He's support staff, but he has an A-designation, if that's what you're asking.
2. SPOILER REQUEST. NO COMMENT.
3a. They learned to speak English.
3b. Mostly after.
Now that Brooklyn is older than Goliath does that mean he needs to appoint a new second from Angela, Broadway and Lexington or even Eliza? You mentioned the second in a Gargoyle clan is of a younger generation than the clan leader and groomed to take over, now that Brooklyn is older does that invalidate him from the position?
Not automatically. We'll just have to see how things play out.
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.
I like to think so anyway.
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!
By now you know, I guess.
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!
1. There's no way to know. She was unavailable while we were prepping the season, and we were told that from moment one, so we never gave any real thought to her inclusion, until we were told she was fair game. By that time, it was too late for Season One. We don't have the schedule luxury to sit around and muse about what might have been.
2. Yes, except Wonder Girl. But we were informed before we started any serious work on Season Two.
3. I didn't make a separate list. I wouldn't say they were runner-ups. So much as younger-ups.
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. Well, the first question I'd ask you is "Why wouldn't Zatanna accept an invitation to join the Justice League?' And I'm not confirming or denying anything about Doctor Fate or her father, but is there any scenario you can think of where Z wouldn't want to keep as close an eye on Fate as possible?
2. You're looking at it backwards. The information didn't come from Rann. It came from the Kroloteans who were ON Earth.
3. The reason she was included in Season One was ASKED AND ANSWERED. As for why she was moved up to the League in Season Two, we felt we needed to be true to her character arc. But rest assured that Rocket is a very important character to me, and her presence will be felt in both the comic and the show, and in addition, given enough issues and/or episodes we'll be learning MUCH more about her.
4. The television series contains all you NEED to know to appreciate the television series. The game will supplement that. I see NO indication that it's going to be cancelled. (I just edited another dialogue script for cut scenes today.) But on the off chance it is cancelled, you won't lose anything that was necessary to enjoy the series. Though, as with the comic, you'll get more out of all three of our media by enjoying all three.
1) Did you hear about Artemis Crock appearing in the DC reboot with the Teen Titans?
2) Did you know they based her off her Young Justice animated series counterpart, like what was done with Aqualad in the old DCU?
So congratulations to the Young Justice series staff on reimagining a character so awesomely that some of the changes made it into the DCnU.
1. Well, I heard about an "Artemis" appearing there. But I haven't seen it.
2. I'm not sure that's true. I'm not sure it's not either. I just don't know. No one at DC has mentioned it to us.
Hmm... you are going to blow our minds this season aren't you? Should I be prepared for an emotional rollercoaster more intense than season 1? And why do I feel like you're secretly amused by all the frantic/paranoid/distressed questions/accusations you are getting about the new season?
I am amused by it sometimes; other times it's quite frustrating. And, yes, I'd be prepared for quite the emotional rollercoaster.
1.In order from strongest to weakest in terms of combat can you arrange the original eight members?
2.Who would you say is a better fighter Red Arrow from season 1 or Nightwing from season 2?
1. No. [See my next answer.]
2. Totally different fighting styles, so it's all situational.
