Hehe, I forgot to ask something, I mean, Hello, Louisa!*smaks forehead*(it's your fault I can't stop doing this now, you know). Is Krolotean language really a language, or just some random ramblings? Just curious XD

Greg responds...

Out of show, it's mostly sound effects.

Would you say that as of Season 2, Dick and Artemis have a close relationship resembling that of Dick and Donna's in the comics? (By this I mean that they love each other in a platonic way)

Greg responds...

I guess.

First of all, I'd like to say thank you for being part of such a great production. Young Justice is amazing!
Here's my question:
1a) In Depths, why is it that Nightwing chose Artemis for the secret mission?
b) Wouldn't have M'gann been the better choice, as she could change her appearance at will thus cancelling the need to ask Zatanna for a favour which could have compromised the mission?
c) Was it because he and Artemis are closer and he trusts her more?
Thanks!

Greg responds...

1a. SPOILER REQUEST. NO COMMENT.

1b. See above.

c. No.

Geno Mattos makes nearly all of them.

When Artemis was given the Glamor Charm, it is explained from the perspective of everyone except Nightwing, Aqualad, and Kid Flash that she is an entirely different person now. Considering it involved Zatanna's magic, wouldn't it be a major problem if Artemis were to have a run-in with either Psimon or Klarion? After all, Kalrion previously demonstrated he had far superior magic than Zatanna, and Psimon's telepathy cannot be fooled at all. I mean, was EVERYTHING put into consideration before Artemis was given the charm?

Greg responds...

SPOILER REQUEST. NO COMMENT.

Greg,

Hopefully this doesn't delve into spoilers territory, but I was hoping you could clear something up for me:

1) Bart does not know the effect of his actions on the future, correct? I mean that at the end of "Bloodlines", he did not know that he has not successful in changing the future in the manner he intended.

2) What was Bart's plan for after he saved Barry? Did he intend to live with the Garricks, or did he want to join the team? I'm assuming he knew he would be stuck in the past(sorry if this is a spoiler question).

3) In Bart's time (the 2050s), is 2-way time travel possible? I mean before the accident or whatever they were trying to prevent.

Thanks Greg!

Greg responds...

1. He can only guess.

2. I'm not sure he had all the specifics figured out. Beyond that, it is indeed a SPOILER REQUEST. NO COMMENT.

3. Though the question itself isn't problematic, I don't know how to answer it without SPOILERS.

I just want to say Young Justice is amazing. I loved Season One but Season Two is so intense and as equally amazing. Anyway my questions are:

1. What is Barbara's relationship with Tim and Dick? I know before you said that Dick and Babs were best friends 'with potential'.
2. How do Dick and Tim feel towards Babs? Like does Tim see her as an older sister?
Thank you for taking the time to read :)

Greg responds...

1. SPOILER REQUEST. NO COMMENT on Dick and Barbara. Barbara and Tim's relationship is sister-brother.

2. Is this a different question?

Mr Weisman, forgive me for asking another question in such a short period of time, but there's some things I forgot to ask in my last post:
1. Is Dick aware that his actions are becoming more Batman-ish in nature?
2. What made you decide to let Invasion be so much darker/ more cynical in nature compared to the first season? The storytelling is still superb, but all the funny moments are usually offset by something sad or grim. "Bloodlines", for instance, was arguably the most lighthearted episode in Invasion so far because of the hilarity that was Bart Allen, but learning that his cheery personality was a facade kind of sucked all the fun of rewatching. I could actually feel dread crawling up my spine when I look at Bart's goofy grin and think "That's not what he's really like."
Don't get me wrong, I love Invasion. But the first season had more moments when I could laugh at something and not think about it being linked to something sad or shocking.

That wasn't a crticism, just a comment.

Greg responds...

1. You didn't forget to ask that. And I just answered it.

2. "More cynical"? How so? In any case, we've always offset comedy with drama, and vice versa. Nothing's changed in that sense. But this season is darker, because the arc is more serious and desperate. If that puts the comedy in greater contrast, so be it.

Dear Mr Weisman,
1. I notice that the most if the other characters in the show treat La'gaan like they would an obnoxious and annoying co-worker. Is this intentional, and can you explain how you chose to characterise him? I assume that this will culminate in character development later (at least, I hope- you said that we had to know the characters on the fly and I'm hoping that doesn't mean you will sacrifice character development for the plot's sake). But you should really see the impressive hatedom he's earned- it's worse than M'gann's in season one. Dont get me wrong- I like La'gaan.
2. Despite his confession in "Disordered", in which Dick said he didn't want to be like Batman, his actions in season 2(especially the whole thing about Kaldur being a double agent), have struck me as increasingly Batman-ish, what with the secrecy and sending his own friends on a mission that would put their lives at stake if they got discovered and lose him the trust of the entire team of which he leads. I don't know- it reminds me of Batman's "beat the bad guys at all costs" way of doing things. I hope I'm wrong, though. Is it just the stress getting to him? And is he fully- fully, not partially- aware of all the consequences that going to bite him back?

I'm hoping that by the time you read this, my questions won't be considered spoiler requests.

Greg responds...

1. I'm not sure why anyone would "HATE" La'gaan. That's such a strong word. He's a bit obnoxious, certainly. And we consciously tried to show that as a Team expands, not everyone is going to be an easy fit into the mix. Throw in the fact, that at least at first glance, he seems to be an obstacle to Conner and M'gann's relationship, and I can understand why some fans might not want him there. But I love the guy. He's fun to write.

Obviously, I have no interest in sacrificing character development, but I do think Season Two is more plot driven, and with only twenty episodes - as opposed to Season One's 26 - there were fewer opportunities to go off the reservation, so to speak, and do PURELY character-focused shows. But you'll still get plenty of character development throughout the season, and if you want more - I highly recommend our companion comic book. There's substantial La'gaan development coming up.

2. Dick may not want to be Batman, but it doesn't change the fact that he's good at exactly that. Believe me, he's aware.

The local library finally got a few copies of the Season One Volume Three DVD of "Young Justice", and I watched it last evening. I enjoyed it, too. Here are a few thoughts about the individual episodes.

BEREFT: Psimon was one of the creepiest villains I've yet seen in the series - I especially liked his "Psimon says - forget!" line. I'm curious about this partner of the Light, and look forward to finding out more about him/her/it/they in later episodes.

Makes a change to have Superboy rather than Kid Flash wind up with a souvenir.

TARGETS: Hearing Ra's al-Ghul voiced by somebody other than David Warner takes a bit of getting used to (when I hear Warner speak, I can understand why you brought back the Archmage in Season Two), but another good episode. Lex Luthor was certainly impressive here, and his conversations with Red Arrow were a delight, contrasting Red Arrow's passion and suspicion with Luthor's calm, amused tone. (A bit like the confrontation between Goliath and Xanatos at Castle Wyvern in "The Edge".)

I picked up the "Superfriends" joke with Marvin and Wendy as two of Connor and Megan's classmates - and thought it was hilarious when Connor and Megan thought that "Kent" was a reference to Kent Nelson (clearly Superman hasn't been sharing his alter ego with them - though in light of his troubled relations with Superboy, that's not surprising). I also liked Connor's explanation about Rhelasian history and his bewilderment over humans at war with each other.

TERRORS: I'd seen Professor Strange in a few episodes of "The Batman", where he was a villain (and an especially creepy one, ready to plunge Gotham City into chaos more than once just so that he could study Batman), so I wasn't surprised when he turned out to be another agent for the Light.

Icicle, Sr. made an impressive villain, and I liked the parallel between the two Icicles and Superboy and Superman. Though I kept wondering who the guy with the odd helmet was, who'd recognized Superboy; my memory of some of the earlier episodes must be getting fuzzy.

And now we know why all four of those ice-themed super-villains were on the rampage all at once in the first episode.

HOME FRONT: The two Red Tornado-like intruders were truly creepy, and I look forward to seeing what their connection is with Red Tornado.

Among the highlights: Artemis commenting on how cliched the secret entrances behind the library bookcases were, the "They're all dead!" moment, Kid Flash helping Robin set up the EMP even while a prisoner, and Kid Flash and Superboy bluffing their captors. (Though the book-lover in me felt horrified when the intruders were on the loose in the library - I kept wondering what kind of damage those torrents of water and the toppling bookcases were doing to those books, even if it was less important than whether Robin and Artemis would be able to escape.

I hope that the local library will be able to get the rest of the episodes on DVD soon (I understand that the remainder of Season One comes out on DVD next month).

Greg responds...

Thanks. That guy with the helmet was Professor Ojo, who appeared in episode 106.

I have always felt that Artemis was the one character you might kill because she was the one character created specifically for the show. I knew going in to the episode that there was little chance you would refrigerate a positive female role-model on what is essentially a children's show, but I have to admit that you nevertheless kept me guessing the whole time. It was nice to get such a substantial run of YJ episodes and I will gladly await its return in the fall.

I have only one question. I noticed that Artemis was being much more patient than I would expect with Wally's protectiveness. It made me wonder if they have ever talked to each other about what happened during the simulation in "Failsafe"?

Greg responds...

First off, Artemis wasn't created specifically for the show. One could argue that Aqualad was, I suppose...

I'm sure they've discussed it. But I also don't think Wally was being overly protective. AT ALL.

Hello Greg, your show is awesome! I have some questions that I hope you can answer at some point in the future:

1) At the end of "Depths", when everyone is in the cave, it looks like Barbara is not wearing sunglasses (or anything else to hide her identity). Batman wants to keep Tim and Dick's identities secret, so why not Batgirl?

2) You've said in a previous response on here (see? I checked!) that there is "minimal awareness" of life on Mars. If this is the case, what is the justification for the government spending hundreds of millions of dollars on a satellite to communicate with Mars? I have a feeling you're going to answer "to increase awareness."

3) As an aerospace enthusiast, I was pleased with the relative accuracy with which you portrayed Cape Canaveral and the Kennedy Space Center. I only saw 2 "inaccuracies"- the launch pads aren't right on the water like that and one person (Carol) would not be able to speed up a launch. I can easily forgive both because they were plot-driven, and also because this is technically an alternate earth. No question on this, just a comment. Nice work by your team and the artists! The rocket was quite accurately drawn.

4) Does the Justice League vote on new members at regular intervals (for example, once per year)?

Best wishes!

Greg responds...

1. Batgirl is 18 and can make that decision for herself. But the other aspect to it, is that Barbara Gordon doesn't have a famous (foster) father, that paparazzi (attempt to) follow around.

Dear Greg,
Watched Depths today, and I mean the following phrase with the utmost respect;
GREG WEISMAN YOU MAGNIFICENT BASTARD!!!! I loved the end of that episode!!!! I mean you really had me going there with Artemis' death, but then the reveal that she's alive & Kaldur's a mole for them? Best "never-saw-it-coming" moment in animation. EVER. Thank you, thank you so much.
Onto other things I enjoyed in this episode, thank you for explaining why Conner & Megan broke up. Personally, I side with Conner, she is venturing into Psimon's territory with her interrogations. I also like the subtle bit of Carol wearing purple, very nice. And Tim Curry, oh GOD I love that man as Gordon Godfrey. He is hilarious.
Pleas pass on my praise to everyone involved in that last scene, and I eagerly await next week.

Greg responds...

Thanks!! We've got to wait a bit longer than a week. But we'll get there.

Is there a reason for leaving out Superboy and Ms. M from the Team's super secret undercover mission?
I don't see why you guys would choose all of the original members of Team to participate in this mission, except for these two; it would be more understandable if you guys had chosen the original 6, instead of just the 4 to keep the undercover secret from the League and the new Team recruits; seems a little prejudice towards the Martian and half-Kryptonian, lol jk :)
Good episode none the less
Keep up the good work!

0832

Greg responds...

1. Is there a reason to include them?

You're putting too much weight on who's original and who is not. This is about Kaldur's secret op that ONLY Nightwing knew about. The fewer who know, the smaller the risk of Kaldur's cover being blown. Artemis was brought on - and brought in - to serve a specific function (or two). Wally's NOT "participat[ing] in this mission", but Artemis wouldn't join the op without letting him in on it. It was a deal-breaker for her. So Wally was only brought in, because Artemis insisted. But the circle is small because it's a need-to-know circle. It's not like these FOUR came up with the plan, but decided to leave Superboy and Miss Martian out. Kaldur and Nightwing came up with the plan, and eventually let Artemis (and Wally) in. But not because they're old friends or something. Nor were Superboy and Miss Martian left out because they're not close to them. And certainly not because they're Martian and half-Kryptonian.

Hi Greg.

Absolutely loved Depths. One of the characters on the show I know the least about is Black Manta.

A few questions about him:
Prior to associating with and joining the Light, was he generally a mercenary, or did he usually pursue personal
objectives?
I noticed the African tribal masks decorating his
quarters. I assume this shows pride in his heritage. But do his motivations for his actions include a desire for revenge for damage done to the continent, past and present, by many nations?
How long have he and Aquaman been enemies?

Thanks for taking my questions.

Greg responds...

1. The latter.

2. It's not a primary goal. Self-actualization is more important to him.

3. QUITE some time.

Mr. Greg Weisman,

When you said that "Depths" was the one of most dramatic episodes to date, you were absolutely NOT kidding around! I found this episode to the BEST episode of this first bunch of Season Two episodes. I was extremely happy by the way it mostly turned out, so I'd like to ask two questions.

1. Based on Nightwing's statement about his own leadership, it appears he only started at the beginning of 2015, assuming this is correct. If I'm interpreting this correctly, does that mean that Aqualad's leadership lasted for the entire first four years of the time-skip, and everything that we've learned about Kaldur so far happened during that time?

2. I'm happy that Aqualad was a good guy the ENTIRE time, and I'm sure I'm not the only one. Interestingly, based on the conversation between them, only Nightwing, Artemis and Wally know the truth, and apparently they have for quite some time. Being the leader of The Team I can understand how Nightwing knew, but considering the nature of Aqualad's undercover work, how did Artemis and Wally get involved with protecting Kaldur's cover in the first place?

Thanks for taking the time to read this posting.

Greg responds...

1. Kaldur was leader for approximately four and a half years total (including Season One). I'm not sure what you're asking in the second half of the question.

2. They didn't. They were only brought into the loop when Kaldur and Nightwing felt the need to recruit Artemis into their plot/plan/strategy.

Hi Greg more than a question , i just wanted to comment on the scene that Superman tries to save the kronoteans from the explosion, even risking his own life in the process. I must say that was one the best representation of what Superman truly is at his core, a true hero that no matter what will defend all life , even at the cost of his. That was a truly emotional scene , and as a superman fan for manyyears, Thank you for giving probably one of the best moment if not the best moment for him in any medium. Keep up the amazing work all the production team, hopefully we have many years left of stories to come.

Greg responds...

Thanks. I liked that moment too.
