You mentioned that Wonder Woman became a superhero in 1941, when she was 16 years old. As Pinja said, that's no older than the physiologically oldest members of the Team (in 2011). At that age, I don't think that that many people would have taken her seriously enough to call her a "woman". So was "Wonder Woman" her first superhero name or did she start her superhero career being called "Wonder Girl"?

In the episode Alienated Catherine says: "And finally, we have the four surviving host bodies used by a race of alien energy beings, known as the Appelaxians, who attempted to conquer the Earth. Of course, the attack also brought together Earth's mightiest heroes to form the Justice League."

"Earths Mightiest Heroes" Is a tagline used by Marvel's Avengers. Is there a reason you chose to put it in, or was it just a coincidence? :)

Hi Greg! Just want to say that I LOVE all of your work!
And now, a question about Miss. Martian: After usual suspects, I understand that she would want to keep her human form, but why does she stay green? Wouldn't she perhaps change her skin tone to white to take pride in her alien origins? I hope this doesn't come off as a criticism or a suggestion, I'm just quite curious.
Once again, love all of your shows and I'm really excited to see the next episode of Young Justice!

In the end of the Season One finale, Superman finally decided to accept Superboy and started the "father/son" relationship by telling Superboy his own secret identity as Clark Kent. Five years later, in Season Two, Superman and
Superboy's relationship has grown to the point where they treat each other like brothers instead of father and son. As their relationship strengthened during the five-year gap, has Superman told Superboy everything about himself?

I have a whole slew of questions about Zeta-Beam transport. I doubt I can bring it down to five...

1. Why do the Cave and the Watchtower have two portals next to each other? Also, the Cave has two portals, and the Watchtower at least three. Is this for logistic reasons, or does the Watchtower have no elevators?
2. What's the maximum capacity of a tube? On multiple occasions, three people entered at the same time. Could the entire League fit, or is that why there's two portals next to each other?
3. Because we'll possibly never definitively learn with the time skip, and the comics won't reach December for another two years: was Rocket's designation B09?
4. In Misplaced, Billy had to speak an override code before being scanned, but on all other instances (the phone booth, the TARDIS, the main portals) the computer scanned people as soon as they were in range. What if a stranger entered the booth, would he/she be scanned?
5. Is the Manhattan portal under the bridge in "Secrets" only an exit? It doesn't look practical for an entrance.

1. Is the show's Sandman based on the Golden Age version of a Bruce Wayne-lookalike, or the Sandman Mystery Theatre-version of a bespectacled investment banker?

3. Did Sandy the Golden Boy (or any of the Golden Age sidekicks) exist, or was Robin truly the first kid sidekick?

Hi, Greg, quick question. As season two goes on, i can't help but notice Megan's radically different personality. She's no longer the slightly naive Hello Megan fangirl, and is instead alot darker, thinking nothing of labotimizing others for her own gain.
First of all, why does no one call her out on it. Martian Manhunter was right there, telepathically linked the guy to boot.
Second, does her self-acceptance have something to do with this? In season one we see her afraid of having the others see her as a monster, but, now that she knows she doesn't have to worry about it anymore, is she now turning into one?
If I see you've answered this, then thanks a ton! If you don't, well, do it anyway ;). Thanks!

John writes...

Greg just want to start off by saying i love young justice and gargoyles and i still watch some gargoyles to this day. My question is why did the writers primarily decide to make Superboy and Miss Martian the only characters that really get focus and are in every episode?
In season 1 once in a while Aqualad or Artemis would get an episode even Wally but Wally and robin barely did anything. Now we skip into season 2 and Wally is retired and Grayson is team leader but only seems to make cameo apperances. You mentioned season 3 if it happens will have another time skip i assume Nightwing will probably be gone but i was just hoping that the guy would actually have important story lines before he is gone. The other character also i feel should get some type of importance it feels like the Superboy/Miss Martian and friends show.

Young Justice is the favorite in my household and its one of few shows that holds my two year old attention for its entirety. My question is, whether it be the month or the quarter, when would you hope to get word on a third season for YJ? I can't imagine that this show would not be on for years to come.

I'm curious but does the possibilities for third season look bleak? Or does discussions for the future of Young Justice sound encouraging? Just wondering as I hope that this show goes beyond season 2.

And finally, if the show gets cancelled, do you plan to continue where Invasion left off in some other form of media? Like a webseries or a comic book? Perhaps maybe on another network. Thank you so much. I'm a huge fan of Young Justice =)

Sizzle Shorts writes...

I have another Blue Devil related question for you Greg. Blue Devil was considered for membership by the League, but did not join (at least not before the time skip). Why did the Justice League decide not to invite him? It's clear why Guy Gardner and the members of The Team weren't invited, but for what reason did they pass on Blue Devil? Was it because he was too inexperienced, or because none of the Justice League members knew him very well? Or was Blue Devil invited after all, but he declined to join? It would be very in character for him if he did decline.

Your comments regarding Megan's ethnicity are very interesting. Do you see her feeling towards her green martian form are more in alignment with how a post op transexual feels about their new body?(I.E This was always who she was) Or do you think it's more alignment with some very dark skinned women bleaching their skin because they feel unattractive by western ideas of beauty? It seems like you could go either way here.

Hi! First off, I would like to say that I am a HUGE fan of your work, especially with Young Justice, and now Young Justice: Invasion.My favorite episode of the new season so far has to be Salvage, because it had everything that I had been waiting to see. I also want to thank you for bring Lian into Earth-16. It really makes me happy to see her.

I checked the que and the archives, and i didn't see any of these questions, so herewe go:

1) What bree is Wally and Artemis's dog? What's his/her name?

2) How long have Jade and Roy been married?

3) How old is Lian when Jade brings her to meet Roy?

4) Are you aware of all the 'Shipping' names for the various couples on the show?

Thank you so much for making such a wonderful show, and for taking time to answer our questions.Oh, and have a nice day!

Starling writes...

Hi again greg, If I remember correctly, it's been established that Martians age 1 year for every 3 earth years, New gods from Apocolips and New genesis are ageless, Lords of chaos and order are ageless, Amazons are immortal and Superboy currently can't age visibly.
1. This made me wonder if there were any other aliens or metahumans that age at a different rate than humans or have a longer lifespan, such as maybe Rannians, Genomorphs and Clayface since he got his powers from overexposure to the Lazarous pits.
2. Back in infiltrator, Robin used an override code to get past the security at Wyne Tech. If I'm correct, the code RG4 consists of his initials (Richard Grayson)and 4 would either mean that he's the 4th person to have a similar override code or he has 3 more for other uses. If it's the first case, would the 3 other people be Bruce Wayne, Lucius Fox and Alfred Pennyworth?
3. In the episode Salvage, when Superboy said he could relate to the Appellaxian Golem when it said through blue beetle that it wanted to end the pain and essentially destroy itself, does that imply Superboy has contemplated suicide at one point? I just want to be sure about whether or not that was the case.
Thank you for your time and I hope the long queue isn't too tough on you.

Hi Greg, First of all Im a huge fan of young justice, all production aspects of the show are mindblowing. How do you produce such a quality level product on a weekly basis is beyond me, congratulations to all of the staff for their hard work. Secondly Im a huge fan of spectacular spiderman, seeing it cancelled was so dissapointing , but even worse was the show you got replaced with , Ultimate spiderman. Now there is news of the Avengers series being cancelled , to be replaced with a show of similar tone than ultimate spiderman, with the reason that Marvel wants a show focused on stand alone episodes than storyarcs. My question is, why great shows, that respect their source material with great voice acting and stories get cancelled, while other shows that talk down to their audience and have weak story lines are still on the air? I really really hope Young Justice stays for many years to come, its an example of how good shows are made. Thank you and all your team for your efforts everyday, keep up the good work

And thank you for showing Wally & Artemis, I was worried they might have switched sides or been killed or something. I thought it was sweet (and Artemis looks good in a jersey). Also, i like someone discovering the scarab talks to Jaime, and you even got in a reference to Ted Kord! Thank you! Please keep up the awesome!

First of all, as a huge fan of DC comics lore, I want to thank you so much for including so much of DC's history in your show. It makes the show so much more enjoyable for me.

I was wondering how the writers choose the characters that are showcased in the show. I noticed you included a lot of lesser known characters in the DC universe such as Lagoon Boy, Blue Beetle and so on. How do the writers pick and choose with such a huge who's who list of superheroes and supporting characters to choose from?

Hi Greg,
This isn't a question, so I understand that it might be deleted, but I have no other way of contacting you, so I thought I might give it a shot.
I just wanted to thank you for an amazing show. You and Brandon have done an amazing job, along with everyone else who works on Young Justice. It's beautifully done, and I love it to the point of perhaps unhealthy obsession, but I like to think I'm just a really, really, really big fan.
I'm sure you don't remember this, but I came to your signing on Free Comic Book Day at Meltdown Comics, and I just wanted to let you know that that was a truly amazing moment for me. You are one of my biggest heroes, and the Young Justice issue you signed along with the photo my dad took of me with you are now two of my most prized possessions.
I can't wait for the rest of the season, and I'd just like to let you know that you have made one thirteen-year-old girl very, very, very, very happy.
And one more thing that actually is a question:
In an interview with IGN, you said: "Tune in and give us some huge ratings! Who knows, maybe it'll happen? Maybe we'll get that third season sooner than later!"
Where could we give you huge ratings, or who could we write to strongly advise that you get a third season?
Thanks for answering all these questions and being so patient with us!
P.S. You and Vic also did a great job on Mecha-nation! It's amazing!

Dear Mr. Greg and Whoever Else May Be Credited With The Writing For "Salvage":

I absolutely loved this week's episode. "Salvage" has, in tumblr terms, provided "so many feels" for many shippers of the Spitfire (Wally/Artemis) and CheshRoy (Cheshire/Roy) pairing supporters; those "feels" were multiplied even more with the introduction of Lian.

I LOVE that Wally and Artemis are still together after 5 years and are a cute, loving couple. I LOVE that Lian has been born and that Jade seems to be doing her best to not only fix up Roy, but to have some stability in her family for the sake of her daughter. I also LOVE that she and Roy were married.

Once again, thank you. Words cannot express any more of what I am feeling, but let me just say that all throughout this morning I had to stop myself from involuntarily smiling at the thought of this episode.

Keep up the AWESOME work. :)

dailyplanetintern writes...

OMG! I just LOVED today episode! "Salvage". I thought for sure that the hero that had "fallen from grace" would have been Kaldar considering what happened last week but I was just as glad to see Roy come back into the picture! Now everything is complete and all my questions have been answered! I know what Roy's doing and what happened to Wally and Artemis! I LOVE the fact that after 5 years that they're still together! Now my mind can rest. It's been driving me CRAZY for the last 3 weeks to know what happened to Wally and Artemis, I already knew that Kaldar would be making a showing and that he now had a Black Manta connection but not knowing what was going on with Wally and Artemis was making me nuts. I figured that they'd be in school since it didn't seam that they had passed on (some people thought that Artemis would have gone bad but I figured that that wasn't true. You went through the trouble of having this Artemis of Earth-16 go down the hero path instead of a villainess one and in "Unusual Suspects" had her reveal her family connections to her friends and her finally being able relax and find acceptance I found it highly unlikely that her future would swing the other direction...) I hope to see them again! They're so cute together!

Now I can wait for the upcoming episodes in peace. ^_~

But on to my questions these are regarding Miss Martian and Superboy and their aging processes.

Now M'Gann is approached as having been of an equivalent of "16" in season 1, and Martian Manhunter mentioned that she was 48 earth years old. Now 48 divided by 16 equals 3 so what I was wondering was:

1. Does M'Gann age at a Martian emotional and physical equivalent so that every 3 earth years of ageing and development for her is the equivalent of 1 human year? So instead of her being "21" she's more like "17 and 3/4"? Almost "18"?

Now Superboy. He was force grown to 16 years in 16-weeks, and he can't visibly age on the outside. But he can age internally / physically on the inside. So it can't be said that he's "21" like Kaldar and Wally are.

1. So does this mean that at some point internally he'll be elderly with all the negatives that with it but sill look like a 16-year-old hottie?

If so that really is a "standard blessing and curse".

2. Exactly where is his age in the emotional sense since that's the only "ageing / maturity" that would be visible?

3. How old is Superboy internally? He was force grown to 16 years in 16 weeks. So does his body think that it's 16 in season 1 and 21 in season 2 or does it read it's self as younger since he's only almost 6 chronologically?

PS: I loved the "You freshman never do the homework." Statement that Conner made.

I also noticed that in the last episode that Superman called Conner, Kon-El. That made me happy too. Although the caption on my TV said 'Conner' instead. Like in "Earthlings" when Conner says that he doesn't visibly age, the captions said physically age. Which means two entirely different things. Not visibly aging means that you can't see the aging, but that it is occurring. Not physically aging usually equates immortality.

4. Dose it annoy you when closed captions get things wrong like that?

One word that seams to give a similar impression like visible and physical can give a person 2 distinct understandings, and in this case it would be the wrong one.

BH writes...

Greg, I'm a big fan of Young Justice, and I think it's really great that you are willing to answer questions about your creations like this. I have 3 questions:

1)In "Salvage", Artemis and Wally go to school in Palo Alto. Is this meant to imply that they attend Stanford? I ask because I figure you won't be mentioning an actual university on the show.

2)Also in "Salvage", Red Arrow's apartment appears very similar to the apartment at the end of the "Under the Red Hood" movie. I'm guessing you recycled the animation to save money, but did you intend it to be a nod at the Jason Todd/Roy Harper Outlaws, or was it just coincidence?

3)In "Targets", during the scene outside Happy Harbor High School, there is a moment where 4 people wearing logos on their shirts are lined up as follows: Superman ("S"), the high school ("H"), Flash (a vertical lightning bolt), and Batman (which in this case looks a bit like a "T"). Was this meant to resemble a certain 4 letter word that would be inappropriate for a cartoon, or was it just a coincidence? I laughed when I saw it because it's pretty clever.

Anyway, thanks again for such a great show. I hope you get many more seasons!

2. Who created the Kobra Venom? At the end of Drop Zone Brain says they can reverse engineer it, which I assume means it wasn't Brain. Is Kobra a scientist, or does he have a minion who is, and they created it?

3. Did the Team ever find out that Miss Martian mindblasted them into unconsciousness in Image? I realise this might be a spoiler request, but with the five year skip I'm not sure whether it was ever intended that it was going to be addressed.

Voice Actor fan writes...

Hi Mr Weisman, I read your response a while back about how you pay your voice actors for their roles and after watching the episode 3 of season 2 I realized something. I noticed that Aquaman is voiced by Phil Lamar who previously voiced Green lantern John Stewart in Justice League, where as you have Kevin Michael Richardson voicing him. I was just wondering if you were aware of the fact and if, when first auditioning actors, thought about getting some of the previous actors to reprise their previous roles. I know that in some of the direct to DVD movies some of the former cast from previous works did voice the same character again.

I'm asking because it's kinda a main trait of his, being the "Man of Steel" and all! :)

Hi, Greg. Love your show, never miss it.

Was Dick ever kidnapped (both as Robin and as Dick Grayson) at any point before the series began? If yes, would you have an estimate of how many times it occurred?

Hey Greg,
At the end of Spectacular Spider-Man, Norman going into costumed crime is public knowledge. The question is, how many people know about his strength enhancing formula, Globulin Green and how it affects people? Norman showed his family (Emily and Harry) and Donald Menkin; and by extension Peter and Gwen know about since Harry told them about the formula and what it does to people. Is the Gobulin Green formula public knowlege in New York City? Or is it one of the only secrets the Osborn family has about Norman goblining it up?

I was curious if you were able to provide a full list of the Zeta Tube designations. I only ask because I keep track of it for my own fanfictions, and I can't have some characters enter the cave in a story because I don't have thier code, and I don't want to be inaccurate. I research everything before I actually start a story, but some of the codes are just unknown as of right now.

Can you post a rundown of the frames used in the opening sequence of each episode like you do with the credits? That would be cool.

If you brought the characters power levels back to their first apperances does that mean Wonder Woman has that neck problem?-in her original comic amazons could be rendered unconcious by a blow to the back of the neck.

Young Justice Fan writes...

Hey Greg -- big fan of Young Justice and especially the Season 2 time skip. I found that Season 2 has colored my view of Season 1. The Season 1 episodes seem more poignant -- almost tragic in hindsight, knowing where some of the characters end up. But seeing a character like Robin grow up is like watching a nephew get older. One second they're a toddler, and a few blinks later they're 18 -- time flies!

I'm also impressed by the fact that the early YJ episodes are actually better in the context of the entire series. I find that many serial shows negate their earlier episodes when mysteries are solved and long-running plotlines come to a head. Young Justice is definitely NOT one of those shows.

Anyway, I remember reading an interview in which you stated you had about 7 months of development time on Young Justice. Here's my question:

1) How much of the series (Season 1, 2 and more) was conceived during this phase (plotting, characterization, designwork) and how much came after you got the greenlight?

Thanks -- you and your crew rock!

Why were Mike Norton, Zac Atkinson, Franco Aureliani and Art Baltazar replaced after issue 6 or 7?

alternate writes...

Hey Greg, in the comics Icon had his own spaceship. I was wondering why, when the 6 (well, 8) leaguers go to stand trial on Rimbor, they have John Stewart create a ship from light instead of using Icon's ship? I suppose a few possibilities are that he doesn't have a ship on Earth-16 (although the line about him being familiar with interstellar law implies that he probably does have one), or that it isn't big enough for 8 people. Anyway, I was just curious to see if you had an official explanation. Thanks for taking the time to answer!

Have you watched Mission: Impossible 3 or Die Hard 4? I only asked because Maggie Q starred in both of those movies. BTW I actually have Mission: Impossible 3 on DVD.

Mr. Greg Weisman,

I'd like to say that as much as I respect the old DC cartoons shows (the ones which were collectively known as the DC Animated Universe), I feel that Young Justice has, thus far, done MUCH, MUCH better in many ways (which would be too much for me too list). I am enjoyed the fact this parallel DC Universe, better known as Earth-16, is similar to the mainstream DC universe, and yet, you are always finding numerous ways to create so many unique twists in the characters and the storylines. It makes it very exciting to watch. I'll let you know that, as I might have said in some postings, that I am continuously praying to God every night that Cartoon Network be very generous to you and renew Young Justice for future seasons. A show as good as Young Justice should never, EVER, end.

Thanks for taking the time to read about how I feel about Young Justice so far. As always, keep up the great work!

Why does it take 5 years for the Krolotean to get to Earth?

1. Although he's amoral and generally has a commitment to self-preservation, why did Puck return to help Xanatos against Oberon "against [his] better judgement"?

Was it simply because he was impressed by Xanatos' choice to have him serve him for life instead of being granter a wish? I considered this, but then I thought it unlikely that Owen would have left Xanatos in the first place instead of returning after some consideration to stand at David's side.

2. Why DID David Xanatos choose Puck as a life-long servant instead of a wish? Wasn't he after immortality?

Tymiko writes...

I noticed in another series of children's books called The Sisters Grimm that the author, Michael Buckley, also had Puck as a main character, only he has the form of a 12 year old and seems to have the mindset of one. He also has a pair of pink insect wings (despite still being a shape-shifter) that he isn't ashamed of at all.

He's written in a way that makes me believe he could have been your version of Puck at a younger age, though he is considered in that series to be the literal child of Oberon and Titania (Oberon's children, haha).

What's more is that King Oberon and Queen Titania live in Manhatten, New York City. I can't help but wonder if there's some of the Gargoyle show's influence at work here.

1. Were you aware of this series and its similarities?

2. Did you ever exchange words with Michael Buckley?

3. Do you think it's possible he watched your show, Gargoyles, or more likely that it was a coincidence?

Tymiko writes...

Your rendition of Puck really rekindled an interest of fairy lore in me, especially since I love tricksters and their amoral personalities that make them so complex. I love how you never know if they'll do something 'good' or 'bad' to someone else simply on a whim, and you portrayed that so well.

I read a previous answer of yours to someone else that said you didn't want to label Puck, Oberon, and Titania as 'faeries' because of the pejorative connotations that the word has. I realize and empathize with you about how fairies are often thought of as nothing more than pretty little girls with butterfly wings or something to that effect, who wave magic wands to grant wishes and always do good. Makes me sick.

1. Is that why you didn't have Puck, Oberon and Titania portrayed with fairy wings despite their status in their original play?

2. If so, why bother to have Puck fly around at all, let alone with fairy dust trailing behind him?

There's a show I recently learned of called Durarara!! in which a Dullahan (technically a sort of fairy) comes to Tokyo to find her missing head, taking the form of a black-wearing motorcyclist and transferring her headless horse's spirit into a pitch black motobike. To hide the fact she has no head, she wears a full helmet and tries to blend in with the city, acting as a transporter and courier for gangs and info brokers, forcing fans to reconsider their initial mental image of a typical fairy.

I think if you had recognized that Puck and the others were Fae, it just might have saved the Fae's tainted, modern day reputation, considering how well-known and admired the Gargoyles show is. However, I understand respect the choices you made, and it was pretty much obvious who they were in the long run.

The episode "Alienated" explains that the Justice League first came together to stop a threat from an alien race of energy beings called the Appellaxians. Do these beings exist only in this specific DC universe? Why did they come to Earth in the first place? What kind of abilities did they possess that made them so dangerous and powerful?

I've checked the archives, including using what I thought to be relevant search terms, but I didn't come up with anything, so if I missed someone asking this before, I do apologize.

That said, I was curious as to what one work you would put on your résumé, if you had to. Like for whatever reason, you could only put forth one work as, "This is me. This is what Greg Weisman brings to your table, what I can do for you." What work would that be, and why? (Yes, I'm one of those who are insanely curious about the minds of the creators I admire, and how they work. :) )

Lurker writes...

I know there has been a lot of attention to what was whispered in Fox's ear.

I'm not going to ask what it was, I want to know if we have seen the topic of said whisper or an allusion to said topic in the series via show or comic.

Ex: if the whisper was about working with the gargoyles, was their moving back to the castle a move that would have later been revealed to be related to the whisper.

Im not looking for a revealing answer, just a yes the topic has been shown or a no the topic has not been shown yet.
