Batwing Forever writes...
I'm glad to see that the comics will be addressing another major family in the DC Comics continuity. So now we have the Flash Fam and the Arrow Fam getting some love.
But what about the BAT FAMILY??? They've been practically ignored for most of the series, with the focus being so much on building the romance and shining some light on the Light (no other way to phrase that, sorry). I can't help but feel that they're not getting the attention they deserve, especially since we got cheated out (AGAIN) of the all important evolution of Dick Grayson from Robin to Nightwing. I do hope that at least the comics or the upcoming Legacy game will give these amazing characters the love they deserve.
Greg responds...
Wow, I love that you feel 'cheated'. No entitlement issues there.
We feel we've given love to everyone. If you're a big fan of any single aspect of the show, that aspect can NEVER get enough love, am I right?
But, given enough issues and/or episodes, I have plenty of Bat-Love to give.

Do you/did you like Barbara Gordon better as Batgirl or Oracle in the comics?
Did you like Dick Grayson better with Batgirl or Starfire?
I'm just curious.
Greg responds...
Feels like answering these questions would amount to SPOILERS.

Hi , I just forgot to ask about Rocket and Aqualad.. I mean i would like to know what happened because i have a feeling that it will not be mentioned in the show.. Poor Kaldur never gets any love but i trust you have something planned for him and i love the show!!
Greg responds...
Rocket and Aqualad went out for a little while, but it didn't stick. As to any plans we may or may not have: SPOILER REQUEST. NO COMMENT.

regarding your post about not owning a smartphone... i saw you playing on your phone one year at sdcc. i think it was way old school, with the green screen and all. haha. :)
anyway, my question is: are the yj stories in the dc nation magazine new stories, and are they canon? (trying to decide whether i need to pick it up.)
Greg responds...
Ah, those were the days...
To be fair, it didn't have a green screen but it was tiny and it wasn't a smartphone. I held onto that phone until it flat out stopped working. Then I had it fixed three times, but it kept dying. So, finally, just this past September, I broke down and bought an iPhone. But I still mostly ONLY use it as a cellphone. I don't check e-mail or the internet on it. I do not WANT to be that connected.
I'm not sure I've seen the DC Nation Magazine, so I'm not sure.

I have a rather odd question. First is it true that the final episodes of Roughnecks were read during a Gargoyle Gathering? If so do you have any idea where i could get my hands on that? I hope this does not violate the spoiler rule
Greg responds...
It's true. The 2000 Gathering Players performed a radio play version of the final three - never produced - episodes of Roughnecks: The Starship Troopers Chronicles.
But "get [your] hands on" what exactly? On a live event that took place twelve years ago? How would that be possible?

Why do you love to troll us?
Greg, if I didn't like you so much, I would hate you! Bye and good job Master of Trolldom!
Greg responds...
When have I EVER trolled anyone?
Maybe I'm confused, but are you sure you're using the term "troll" correctly?
Cuz by the definition I know, I'm not even sure if it's possible for me to troll on MY OWN DAMN WEBSITE.
Lorisa214 writes...
Was that Lois Lane in the first episode of season 2 around the end? She was the first the swim to the surface after the explosion?
Greg responds...
No. Perhaps you're thinking of Noor Harjavti?
Marvelman writes...
1) Are Aqualad's electric charges a natural ability, or do they come from his suit?
2) Are the charges magic-based? Is that why Aqualad took Superboy down so easily in "Alienated"? Or, do they just go beyond what SB's invulnerability can withstand?
3) While we're on the subject, does Connor share Superman's vulnerability to magic?
4) I know this is outside of your control, but do you have any insight into why Cartoon Network always seems so secretive about when new episodes will air? For example, why would it be so hard for them to put out a press statement saying: Young Justice is going on hiatus but will return sometime in Fall 2012?
5) What's going to happen next? (joking)
Greg responds...
1. Neither. They're sorcerous and come from a combination of his training and his mystic dermal icons.
2a. Yes.
2b. Perhaps a little of each.
3. Let me put it this way: the Earth-16 Superman shares EVERYBODY's vulnerability to magic. Neither he nor Superboy are specially vulnerable.
4. I don't know.
5. Reruns on Boomerang and new issues of the comic for the time being.

Thus far, when members of the Justice League attend meetings at Watchtower, they have:
a. Vote who joins/leaves the Justice League (which has been seen in Season One as an example).
b. Vote on who becomes the overall leader of the Justice League (a term of one year according to archives; no example has been actually seen yet).
What else normally goes on during these meetings besides other than what is just mentioned above?
Greg responds...
I dunno. Whatever business needs to get covered. Briefings. Things related to the Light, for example. I mean what do you think goes on?
btgr writes...
1. Did you based the character designs of both that thug voiced by John DiMaggio from the Green Arrow DC Showcase and Henchy from the YJ episode "Coldhearted" on video game character Marcus Fenix from the Gears of War series, or was it just a coincidence?
2. Who do you think would win in hand to hand combat? Merlyn or Count Vertigo?
Greg responds...
1. Well, I didn't design the character, so I have no idea. But I can tell you I've never heard of "Marcus Fenix" or "Gears of War".
2. See, now, the Hulk is more powerful because the madder he gets, the stronger he gets. But the Thing can still beat him if he keeps his wits about him.
(Haven't used this one in a while, huh?)
Peach writes...
Does La'gaan ever give M'gann the respect she deserves by calling her by her given name? The fact that he's always calls her "angelfish" makes me think that he views her as a possession rather than a human being (well, a Martian, but hopefully you get my point).
I hopes he's not the typical rebound guy who acts like a jerk. Because, right now, I'm wondering if it was your intention to make La'gaan as unlikeable as possible to the fans.
Greg responds...
Gee, that seems like a truly odd interpretation of that particular habit.
First off, La'gaan has and does call her M'gann sometimes. So... pay attention.
Second, "Angelfish" is a TERM OF ENDEARMENT. She likes it. This notion that it means he views her as a "possession" - well, frankly, I don't even understand the logic of that. How does that follow? I have a pet name for my wife - which in private I use interchangeably with her given name - and I can say with real confidence that she feels it brings us closer, because it's something personal we share.
Feels to me like you're REACHING for reasons not to like Lagoon Boy. It's perfectly legit not to care for him, but there's no need to invent reasons.
EXALT writes...
Would you ever consider doing rambles about YJ like you did for Gargoyles?
Greg responds...
Maybe... someday in the DISTANT future.
Anonymous writes...
Does Sportsmaster have a favorite daughter?
Greg responds...
No. He may think that Jade has slightly more common sense, but let's give him credit for this much as a parent: he holds both his offspring in equal measure of adoration. (That is, pretty much none.)
JAC writes...
Sorry for the multiple posts in a row...I would have put this question in with the first, but the rules say to make seperate posts for differant topics (but I swear this is the last one for today) so here goes:
What was the reasoning behind not giving Artemis the "Tigress" persona, whether or not she eventually becomes a villianess...
Was it to keep at least one thing true to her origional character? Brcause that was her name when you wrote about her and you dont like other peoples ideas? You just like the name better? Other reason?
Personally, I usually detest the idea of writers making hero monikers rxactly the same or similar to given names...but im also a HUGE Greek mythology buff, so I dont mind it much this time, im just curious about your (was it your...?) decision.
Thank you for all of your time spent.
Greg responds...
By now, I assume your question is moot.
K. W. writes...
Hi Greg,
I had a quick question. The gargoyles in your gargoyles universe go to sleep during the day and have no control over it. I've learned that Elisa and Goliath become an official couple, but I am curious about the couple seeing much of each other.
If Goliath is "forced" to sleep during the day and Elisa works most nights. When does the couple get to spend time when they are not on duty protecting the world? Wouldn't this put a strain on the relationship emotionally?
I didn't see this question anywhere. Forgive me if it has been asked.
Greg responds...
Keep in mind, Elisa sleeps during the day too. Granted, she has more flexibility, but how is this really any different from any two people working the nightshift. For that matter, how is it that different from any two people who both have dayshift jobs. I'm not staying there's no stress or strain involved, only that it doesn't seem that atypical. There's plenty of stuff that DOES make Elisa and Goliath's relationship atypical, but this seems like the least of their worries.
I mean I would think it would be harder for a couple when one works dayshift and one works nightshift. Then it REALLY seems to me like they'd never see each other.
JAC writes...
I didnt include these questions in my last post, lest the entire thing get deleted again, as they may encroach "spoiler reqest" territory maby a smidge further...
1. WAS there an origional "James" Harper? (its establised that hes a clone, but not of whome).
2. Did he (Guardian) ever find out who he was really working for?
3. Are he and Dublex still in contact?
Thanks again.
Greg responds...
1. There was. But OUR Jim Harper is a clone of Jim's descendent Roy Harper, not of the original Jim Harper.
2. Yes.
3. SPOILER REQUEST. NO COMMENT.
YJ Fan writes...
Why do you guys just love to kill Artemis and bring her back?
Greg responds...
You make it sound like she's the only one we've done that to.
Wendy writes...
Weird question but:
Did Artemis lose her "abs" over the 5 year time-skip? Her original character design had two lines on her abdomen to indicate abs, but they weren't present in Depths. Was this intentional?
Greg responds...
You'd have to ask character designer Phil Bourassa.
Anonymous writes...
Does Black Manta have any feelings about Kaldur being named after his stepfather?
Greg responds...
Probably.
Anonymous writes...
1.Near the end of Depths we see the current team and Zatanna and Rocket at the cave grieving over the death of Artemis. Can you tell us who on the current team knew Artemis?
2. What are Wally and Artemis studying at college?
3. Was Artemis a known sidekick during the 5 year time gap to the public? I'm just wondering because Superboy didn't appear to be in Salvage to the guard.
Greg responds...
1. They all did. Not necessarily as Teammates, but they've ALL socialized.
2. I think Wally's double majoring in Physics and Chemistry (or something like that). I like to think Artemis is majoring in Comparative Literature. But Brandon and I have not discussed any of this, and I wouldn't want to commit without conferring with him.
3. No, to your question, but I really don't understand your "because..." statement at all.
Marvelman writes...
Did you have Beatrice and Benedict in mind when you created the Wally-Artemis dynamic?
Greg responds...
Shrug. I suppose it'd be cool to answer yes, but the truth is - and I'm not pretending otherwise - it's a pretty common trope, and mostly what we had in mind was Wally and Artemis and tracking how they'd react as individuals.
JustAFan writes...
I'm a huge fan of Young Justice, and the last episode, Depths, is definnitely my favorite episode this season, and possibly my favorite overall. However, there were a few things that weren't quite clear to me.
1. When Artemis "dies", Superboy says he can't hear her heart beating. Artemis' heart was obviously still beating though, so how was it that Superboy couldn't hear it?
2. Why does Wally know all the details of Nightwing, Kaldur, and Artemis' undercover mission? I know he's one of Nightwing and Kaldur's oldest friends and Artemis' boyfriend, but it doesn't really seem necessary for him to know everything, especially with the rest of the Team and the League still in the dark.
Greg responds...
1. Her heart was greatly slowed by the Juliet pill she munched down on.
2. ASKED AND ANSWERED.
Anonymous writes...
Why did Nightwing preform CPR on Artemis when she appeared to have a stab wound? Superboy, Miss Martian, and even the Black Manta Soldiers didn't seem to think it strange.
Greg responds...
Her heart had stopped.
Marie writes...
I want to ask something and it's really random, but stil:
I was watching Homefront and I saw that there are no individual showers, I mean one in one cabin. There are just many in one room. Why? XD
Greg responds...
It's a locker room shower. Most that I've been in don't have 'cabins'. There's a girls' locker room and a boys' locker room, though I forget which was in Homefront. Of course, each bedroom has it's own private bathroom too.
Gotham enthusiast writes...
Something just hit me. If the featured team was Gamma squad, then what were the other team(s) [members] doing during the mission? [ep. 207 "Depths"]
Greg responds...
Stuff.
