Hi, Greg!

I have a question about Lagoon Boy:

You said it was a bit of a shock to Aqualad when he started breathing surface air, so was it harder for Lagoon Boy, since he's more...uhm...fishy?

Greg responds...

No. Don't be fooled by superficial appearances.

You've mentioned before that name designations don't mean much to Gargoyles. Does that extend to things like dates, months and seasons? For example if a Gargoyle clan lived totally isolated from humanity would they bother with any kind of classifications of time as they already seemed to be very attuned this by their biology.

Greg responds...

I don't know. You'd have to have retroactively isolated them to know. They definitely seem more 'at one' - and thus less dependent on language.

In a recent response, you said that there were at least seven major characters you wanted to include in season 2, but couldn't because there wasn't space for them. My question is: were those seven characters B08, B09, B10, B11, B12, B13 and B14? Am I right about some of those guesses but not others, or am I completely wrong?

Greg responds...

Well, B-Zero-Eight is Zatanna, and B-Zero-Nine is Rocket, who are both in the show with significant supporting roles, so you're clearly wrong about them. But, yeah, you're right about some.

Hi Greg! My name is Connor with an O. I wanted to ask, since "Connor/Conner" means "Dog/Wolf lover" in Irish, as Superboy's friendship with Wolf deliberate?

Greg responds...

Wow, I WISH it had been. But, sadly, no. Just a coincidence.

1. Where does John Stewart live and fight crime in on Earth 16?
2. Where do Hawkman and Hawkwoman live and fight crime in on Earth 16?
3. Where does Captain Atom live in and fight crime in on Earth 16?
4. Where does Black Lightning live in and fight crime in on Earth 16?
5. Where does Guy Gardner live in and fight crime in on Earth 16?

Greg responds...

1. SPOILER REQUEST. NO COMMENT.

2. DITTO.

3. WASHINGTON D.C. is where he lives. When not with the Justice League, he's kind of an international spy/hero type.

4. SPOILER REQUEST. NO COMMENT. (But the answer is coming soon in the YJ:I comic issue #21.)

5. SPOILER REQUEST. NO COMMENT.

1. How old is Black Lightning?
2. How old is Randy Eiling?
3. How old is Peggy Eiling?
4. What is the name of their mother?
5. How old is Tseng?

Greg responds...

These questions have now officially gotten complicated with the new season. So, what follows are their ages at the END of Team Year Five, i.e. December 31st the day before Season Two starts - ASSUMING they're still alive AT ALL. Unless you've seen them, no guarantees:

1. Black Lightning was 28.

2. Randy Eiling is 50 if still alive.

3. Peggy Eiling is 46 if still alive.

4. Angela Randall Adams Eiling.

5. Tseng Dangun was 59.

About the running gags, I had to ask, how did you come up with them, like the one of the bus.

And thanks for including nightwing, hopefully my classmates now will like him as much as I do.
Greetings from Costa Rica

Greg responds...

The bus just sort of happened. We did an endangered schoolbus on a bridge. Then I think someone did another endangered bus on a bridge. We could have changed it, but instead we decided to run with it and keep it the same Metropolis District School Bus with the same driver and kids - even though we were now in a different city.

When you were developing season 2 episode 1 and decided to leave Roy, Kaldur, Artemis, and Wally out, did you expect the reaction and the amount of questions (that I'm assuming will all be answered as the season goes on)that you're getting?

Greg responds...

Pretty much. We certainly WANTED the audience to be extremely curious to know where they all were and what was going on with them five years later.

Mr. Greg Weisman,

On this posting, there will be no questions. However, it seems only fair that I’d tell you something that I feel you may want to know. You may recall from at least two postings that I telling you about the post-Flashpoint DC multiverse. My suspicions were correct; DC Comics appeared to have cleaned the entire DC multiverse and are starting fresh. Here’s what I do know thus far and wish to share with you:

THE NEW DC MULTIVERSE THUS FAR (Post-Flashpoint):
a. First, we have our mainstream DC universe (aka. DCnU), but we still don’t know if its designation still remains as New Earth/Earth-0.

b. We have Earth-23, which was introduced in Action Comics #9. The Superman of this Earth seems to be modeled after our current President. His Kryptonian name is Kalel (and that’s how it’s spelled within the comic), while his human name is Calvin Ellis. I’d like to tell you other things I found out about this Earth, but I not that good at explaining it in great detail. Also, other parallel Earths were shown in that comic, but unfortunately there were no designations shown.

c. The last one is the re-imagined Earth-2, which is introduced in the new title, “Earth 2.” Just like the first Justice League story arc when the relaunch started, the first issue took place five years in the past. Apokolips is the threat once again, but here, Steppenwolf, and not Darkseid, is leading the invasion. Earth-2’s Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman die stopping the invasion, while the Supergirl and Robin of Earth-2 (who become Power Girl and Huntress as will be shown in “Worlds’ Finest”) follow an unknown person through a Boom Tube and end up stranded in the mainstream universe (at which in this point in time the events of the first arc of the relaunched “Action Comics” was taking place). Also, we get see the new younger versions of Alan Scott, Jay Garrick, and Al Pratt before they became the heroes they are supposed to be.

This now leaves the place of at least two pre-Flashpoint parallel Earths within this new DC Multiverse in question (or at least, in my mind, it does):

a. Earth-16 is the first one. While this world was introduced with existing information post-Infinite Crisis, this world was never touched upon again until you “rebooted” it for the setting for “Young Justice.” I might say that was the best decision you’ve ever made. You may recall from an earlier posting that I asked if you or your co-workers have ever confirmed with the higher-ups at DC Comics on whether or not your interpretation of Earth-16 still exist within the new DC multiverse. I’ll probably find out your response to that particular posting when it comes.

b. Earth-1 is the second one. This parallel Earth is the setting for DC: Earth One graphic novels. It’s hard to describe, but what I can say is that it’s sort of like the equivalent of Marvel Comics’ Ultimate Marvel universe (by way of being introduced to new readers, among other things). I think J. Michael Straczynski was the guy who started this parallel DC universe.

Hope you didn’t mine me telling you all this. I just felt that you needed to know what’s been going on in the new DC multiverse.

Thanks for taking the time to read this posting!

Greg responds...

Thanks. I haven't always had time to keep current. None of this effects episodes of YJ, which was all locked long ago.
