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!)

Feedback:

Really, Greg in the YJI episode "Beneath" whenever Jaime says "shed", it sounded like he was saying the "four letter word". But I still find it funny. It's also funny whenever a villian calls Batgirl "Bat-brat" or "Brat-girl".

Greg responds...

Didn't hear that. And neither - obviously - did Cartoon Network.

1. What is the range of M'Gann's telepathic link? In other words, if a member of M'Gann's squad moved too far away from her, would that person lose contact with the rest of the squad?

2. Do the Robin and Batgirl costumes have stealth modes? Granted, Batgirl's costume is pretty subdued. The black gloves, boots and Bat-logo make much more sense than yellow, but I don't get the yellow cape linings and Robin's red tunic doesn't exactly "blend into the shadows."

Greg responds...

1. About a mile.

1a. Yes.

2. No stealth modes. But they're trained in stealth.

A couple of Beneath questions. I love the guest voice cast, by the way.
1a. Holling mentions they're Mescalero. I shan't claim to be an expert on the matter, but from what I've read, they're from New Mexico, not Texas (or, not El Paso's corner of the state). Was Holling a chief of all Mescalero, or only of a small band that moved south?
1b. Was the tribe chosen because of Michael Horse, who's Mescalero?
1c. Is Maurice also Mescalero?
2. Holling's neighbor in the trailer park is called "[...]ilson [...]Clain" (likely Wilson McClain). Was he named after Mark McClain Wilson?

Greg responds...

1. Did Holling say he was a chief? And I believe there are Mescalero Appaches in El Paso, as I recall from our research, but it was a long time ago.

1b. No. Casting was done after the script was finalized.

1c. Yes.

2. Probably.

Greg,
I was wondering if there is any way you can talk to Cartoon Network and get them to change the advertisement for Young Justice. They keep showing the old team from season 1, and I think it's a bit misleading to those who don't know what's going on and such. I think it'd be better if they'd advertise with the new team instead, from season 2, ya know?
Thanks!

Greg responds...

It's outside my control. We've given them the assets. There's nothing else we can do.

Hi Greg,
I have a few questions from the episode Beneath.

1. Was Tai Longshadow supposed to be based on the character Longshadow from the Justice League Unlimited series/ Apache chief from the Super Friends? Cuz i thought you were only using original comics characters, not original characters created for other TV series.

2. Was DC comics and Cartoon Network okay with you doing a story about domestic violence? Were they also okay with portraying Tai's mom as being compliant towards abuse towards her son and herself. Was there a reason you choose to make her so weak spirited?

3. What's with having Maurice pirating dvd's and videogames and how can anyone make money from that system? Most piraters distribute stuff online for free and make money by sharing links with their downloads. They don't put it onto a hard copy and distribute and sell it to people. (You are thinking of bootleggers and that profession is dying out). Maurice wouldn't have a customer demographic at all.
Most people who view/play illegal movies and games can get it online for free. If people wanted illegal versions, why would they pay Maurice, when they could get it for free?
Even if people aren't tech savvy, they have cheaper legal options. Most used dvd's sell for a few bucks anyway (I live near several stores that do nothing but sell used movies and games for a few bucks). And if given the choice between legally paying cheap for an actual DVD or paying nearly the same price for a hardcopy of a ripped DVD (from a shady guy with no accountability of whether it works and is illegal) people would choice to buy the used DVD's and games legally. How could he compete against that? Its a poor and ineffective business model. Plus, why are you still talking about DVD's, get with the times and move on to Blu-ray. You can buy a Playstation 3 relatively cheap these days (It plays blu-rays and would be fun for your kids. You can also play Young Justice Legacy on it when it comes out.)

4. Did you like my bunny?

Thanks for taking the time to read and answer my questions. (I know these might be somewhat exhausting).

Enclosed: A funky dinosaur for your amusement.

Greg responds...

1. Yes. And I don't know where your misconception came from. We already introduced Wendy, Marvin and Mercy in Season One.

2. Cartoon Network's Brian Jones and Tramm Wigzell are great partners creatively and had no issue with how we were trying to handle the subject, i.e. with a certain amount of subtlety and sensitivity. Shelly was created to be a certain version of a real world mom in that situation that gave us what we needed for Ty's character.

3. I never said he was a smart criminal.

4. Um...

Greg Weisman is confusing me writes...

I was browsing the archives and noticed that you said Atom was one of the six founding members of the Justice Society.

http://www.s8.org/gargoyles/askgreg/search.php?qid=14216

1. Was this a mistake or was Atom really a member of the Justice Society?

2.If it wasn't a mistake, is this Atom the same Atom that is currently in the Justice League or is it a different Atom?

3. If this Atom is the same Atom that is in the Justice Leage, how old is Ray Palmer biologically and chronically?
He doesn't old enough to be a founding member of the Justice Society.

4. If this is a different Atom, what are his powers? Are they the same as the current day Atom?

5.If this is a different Atom, how come Ray Palmer was able to take his superhero identity?

Greg responds...

1. Not a mistake.

2. Different Atom.

3. See above.

4. He had none at the time of the JSA's founding.

4a. No.

5. SPOILER REQUEST. NO COMMENT.
