I recently got to watch the first two episodes of Season Two of "The Spectacular Spider-Man" on YouTube (I hadn't seen them before now, since I don't have cable) and enjoyed them.

I noticed at the end the MasterPlanner's line to Kraven about "hunting in packs". While it works in its own right as a hint of things to come (presumably super-villain team-ups), I thought "pack" was appropriate. Kraven was hunting Spidey for the same reason that the Pack initially hunted the gargoyles - the "Most Dangerous Game" motive - and, like Wolf, had himself upgraded into a mutate (though feline rather than canine). He even got photographs of Spidey at the start of the episode from the MasterPlanner, just as the Pack got the photographs of Goliath at the start of "The Thrill of the Hunt". I don't know if the "hunting in packs" line was intended as a "Gargoyles" hommage or in-joke or not, but I liked it and thought it appropriate.

Greg responds...

I can't remember for sure. But it probably was.

Hello Mr. Weisman congratulations for your amazing show!
I would like to ask you if you were influnced by the character Lois Lane Robot from the comics to make Mercy Graves a cyborg in Young Justice?

Greg responds...

No. I don't think I'm familiar with any Lois Lane Robot character. Not that I can recall, anyway.

Hi Greg,
I was just curious if the user 'Gweisman' on the Young Justice Wiki is actually you. Of course, they claim to be, but I this is the only place I know of where I could get real confirmation.
Thank you so much for an amazing show, and for taking the time to answer these questions!

Greg responds...

Yes, it is me. But it's wise to be dubious.

I am once again back, to first state how impressed I am with Invasion. I don't think anyone saw a five year time skip coming, especially after only one season, and it was handled beautifully for the show. Everything that is revealed about what has changed over the gap creates more questions, effectively keeping us hooked on finding out exactly what happened over five years.
The original members of the team now being seasoned veterans leading an expanded team is always something that feels cool to watch. I nerded over Dick's ascension to Nightwing and Barbara's joining of the team and I found the lack of status quo in Conner and M'Gann's relationship to be a good choice in character development. My initial prediction for where Wally and Artemis were was that Wally became Flash and Artemis was dead. I was extremely happy to be proven wrong when I watched Salvage. I do suspect they'll probably be suiting up again later in the season (what with Sportsmaster still playing an important role in The Light's plans) but I'm not about to ask for spoilers on that.
I'm happy with what you've done with Bumblebee. Her being The Atom's protege is an interesting idea and it really works. I also enjoy many aspects of Earth 16's Beast Boy, mainly his base form and relationship with M'Gann. Above all, though, I find myself liking Jaime Reyes as Blue Beetle the most of the new additions to the team. His constant conflict with the Scarab AI makes for both good black comedy as well as some interesting character depth.
Well, once again, now that the wall of text is done with I shall ask my questions.
1) Given the Scarab's aggressive tendencies, does its influence ever keep Jaime from sleeping or eating?
2) Have M'Gann and J'onn removed Garfield's enthrallment to Queen Bee by the time of Happy New Years?
3) How fit have Wally and Artemis been keeping since their retirement from the team?
4) Kaldur made the statement "blood is thicker than sea-water" before launching his shoulder rocket at his former allies. Was this phrase meant to be offensive towards Atlanteans or simply as a light pun?
Once again, thank you for the opportunity to ask these questions. Young Justice continues to be one of my favorite shows of all time, animated or otherwise, and I eagerly await what is in store for the future.

Greg responds...

1. Not generally.

2. Yes.

3. Very.

4. A minor play on words.

Should Devastation be assumed to have the same origin as in the comics, or is she simply a metahuman?

Greg responds...

You can't assume anything.

In "Salvage":
1. why does Artemis have on only a jersey?
2. Does this mean Artemis and Wally are in the "mating" stage?

Greg responds...

1a. Who said she's only wearing a jersey?

1b. She's in her sleeping attire.

2. I guess that depends what you mean. They're a couple.

1.Where you a fan of the Hanna-Barbera created heroes (Apache Chief, Black Vulcan, Samurai, and El Dorado) who were a part of the Challenge of the Super Friends show growing up?

2.Do you feel that they ended up being the positive representations of their cultures that they were intended to be?

3. Do you feel that superheroes of certain ethnic descents still get the short end of the stick in terms of how they are treated in stories, the quality of the books they headline, etc. and if so why do you think this is the case? I ask your opinion on this because throughout your career in animation you've done a good job (imo) of including/writing characters of various ethnic backgrounds in your stories (and even changing the races of characters at times) in a way that dosn't feel forced or stereotypical.

Thanks for answering and keep up the great work on Young Justice! Watching the premiere of the 2nd season surprised me, but I'm really happy with what you guys have done so far!

Greg responds...

1. I grew up on the original Super Friends, but was a little too old for the version that came later. But Brandon - that stuff's RIGHT in his wheelhouse.

2. I don't know.

3. I don't know. I'm not reading many comics these days. I think things have improved, generally. But I believe there's still a ways to go. And diversity is still somewhat lacking on television, though I do feel that children's television is a tad ahead of the curve when compared to prime time.

Does Dick still live with Bruce?

Greg responds...

No. Though he still has his old bedroom at Wayne Manor, if he feels like crashing there.

Considering the group hug-like scene at the end of "Beneath," was it suggesting that Wonder Girl learned a very important lesson from the mission in Bialya?

Greg responds...

I don't know about "very" important. But she did good and learned a little.

1. Does Alan Tudyk have any comments to say about his birthplace "El Paso" appearing on YJI?

2. Does Alyson Stoner and Eric Lopez have any comments to say about voicing Batgirl and Blue Beetle?

Greg responds...

1. Not to me.

2. Probably. I think they enjoy it. (Plus, hey, it pays!)
