Leaving batgirl and Bette out of the question, Has Dick Grayson ever date anyone else over the years besides Zatanna and Rocket? (sorry if its a spoiler,)
Greg responds...
Sure.
(Aren't you glad you asked?)
Anonymous writes...
Why did Zatanna choose to live at the cave instead of Wayne Manor?
Greg responds...
She chose to live at the Cave instead of moving into what she would perceive as a new home with a new family. Doing that, she felt, would be akin to giving up on her father.

How does Nightwing see Batgirl?
Does he find her attractive at all?
Greg responds...
1. With his eyes...
2. Judging by issue #25... I'd say yes.
(Aren't you glad you asked?)

How does Wonder Girl see Blue Beetle? Does she find him attractive like he finds her attractive?
Greg responds...
I'll leave that to your imagination.

Which characters can you tell us are supporting characters?
Greg responds...
Wow, it's a weird day here at ASK GREG. I don't understand this question either. Supporting characters are, I suppose, by definition, any character that is significant (i.e. not a small bit part) but also not a lead. Deciding who is a lead vs. supporting is often subjective, but is most often based on (a) who has an important emotional arc in a story and (b) to a certain extent, screen time.
So given all that, why do you need me to create a long list of who the supporting characters are? What am I going to tell you that you can't figure out yourself?
I suppose an easier task is listing who I perceive to be the leads this season. So, I'd say the only true leads for the entire season are probably Aqualad, Artemis, Miss Martian, Nightwing and Blue Beetle.
All others, I guess, are supporting players when perceiving the season as a whole, though in individual episodes one or more might have a significant role to play - and even be the lead of that episode. For example, Robin in "Happy New Year", Wonder Girl in "Beneath" or Arsenal in "Satisfaction", etc. Others are always only supporting players.
If that helps any. (None of this is an exact science.)
But as I've said before, the characters used (and the amount of screen time they received) this season were based entirely on STORY. In contrast to Season One, YJ:I was, by design, a STORY-DRIVEN season.

When you say, "i'll leave it up to your imagination", does that usually mean yes?
Greg responds...
No. It means "I'll leave it up to your imagination."

Did M'gaan's usage of her powers cause tension with anyone on the team other than Conner?
Greg responds...
No, because they were unaware that she was abusing those powers.
Anon writes...
You said that Raquel and Kaldur dated for a little while, but it didn't stick. Was it because Tula was possibly involved in their relationship? It seemed he was still in love with her (according to Wally during his confrontation with Nightwing at the Hall of Justice) Or was it just because their relationship lost spark?
Greg responds...
It depends what you mean by "involved," I guess. Tula was with Garth during that period. Beyond that, it's a SPOILER REQUEST. NO COMMENT.

This is really random... But I think I noticed a goof in Independence Day.
When J'onn and M'gann enter the Cave at the end, we don't hear a designation for either of them. Were they already inside, hiding in the shadows? Or was it just an oversight?
Also, did M'gann ever have an A designation, or was she automatically made B-05?
Greg responds...
There's no error there. They weren't entering Mount Justice. They were down the hall, not hiding. They just were walking up to join the others.
She first entered Mount Justice as a charter member of the Team with her B-designation. She was never an A-designation.

Hey, Greg. Thank you for answering our crazy questions.
1. Is 52 the lowest level of Project Cadmus?
2. Why was there a men's room in Project Cadmus? We only saw Desmond, Guardian, and Spence working at Cadmus. Unless the genomorphs gotta go too.
3. Was sub level 52 a reference to the New 52, or just an random number?
Greg responds...
1. Well, Genomorph City is lower.
2. There were also guards. But that's beside the point. Why wouldn't there be a Men's Room? And a Woman's Room? I mean, you, yourself listed two men above. I seriously don't understand this question. Who builds a facility without facilities?
3. It wasn't a reference to "New 52", which didn't exist yet... so, neither.

How did Green Arrow react when Artemis and Wally started dating?
How did Flash react when Artemis and Wally started dating?
Greg responds...
I'm sure both of them were fine with it. Two nice kids start dating? Who'd complain? (Or am I missing something?)
Nobody's Favorite Anon writes...
I have a question.
Did wearing the inhibitor collar affect Bart's metabolism in any way? Like, did the collar neutralizing his speed tone down his hyper metabolism so it would function like that of a normal person's?
Greg responds...
I would think so, but I haven't thought about the ramifications of all that.
Anonymous writes...
Was Kaldur's conception consenual?
Greg responds...
His conception? Or the intercourse that led to it?
Dick Grayson Fan writes...
Dear Greg, we are introduced to the everyday hero life, but what do the characters work or do as civilians? For example, does Dick Grayson have a job besides Nightwing?
If so what is his job? Also does he still go to school or not?If yes which university? None of these are spoilers so please respond.
Greg responds...
ASKED AND ANSWERED.
And, for the record, I decide what's a spoiler and what's not. Not you.

In YJ, are "out of order" phone booths indestructible?
Greg responds...
No. Are they where you live?

Good evening Mr Weisman
I just wanted to thank you for the wonderful series of Young Justice, it is quiet rare for me to enjoy a series much less become so absorbed by the characters. I usually stick to my books. I have been a fan of The Batfamily for a while now and think the way your take on the characters are amazing. I love how Dick has matured into the adult he is and how Tim is quiet, I have read a few of the other questions about how quiet Tim is but to be honest I like that he is as he strikes me as the think before I talk kind of person. I was so incredibly happy when Jason was mentioned as not many shows do that so for me that was a huge bonus. I must admit in the first season Fireworks when Robin said 'Pass! Batcave's crowded enough.' I was already picturing Tim and Jason there.
I do have two questions for you and if they are spoilers I am very sorry.
1) Why are there no finger stripes on the Nightwing suit? I know many shows don't do them anymore but I was wondering why. Are they impractical or did you just not want to add them?
2) Did Barbara always know that Dick was Robin or did she find out after she became Batgirl? If that is a spoiler then
I am sorry.
Greg responds...
1. That's really a question for Phil Bourassa.
2. She didn't ALWAYS know.
Jon writes...
Followup question from a few months ago -- I asked: "Okay, so the League definitely knows that Lex Luthor is a member of the Light at this point. So how's he getting away with openly running a major corporation?" You answered: "How do they stop him?"
To which I suggest: Violence (a la Arsenal)? Sabotage? Leveraged takeovers? Filing with the SEC? Large-scale theft of office supplies?
Right, yes, being a bit silly here, obviously. (just a bit.) And superheroes don't go beyond the law, of course (well, err, past the whole being-vigilantes thing). Still - just curious as to how Luthor has managed to pull off his whole villain-with-good-publicity schtick. And why hasn't Batman and/or the team tried hitting Luthor's bottom line at some point? Wouldn't it make sense strategically, given that they're the League's dirty-business department?
Greg responds...
Again, I ask "How"?
Look, you're assuming they're doing nothing, which is not a safe assumption. We aren't depicting the "ALL-ENCOMPASSING ADVENTURES OF THE JUSTICE LEAGUE" on our series. We're showing you the "SELECTED ADVENTURES OF THE TEAM". We're telling a specific story. Not even pretending to cover every facet of Earth-16, although believe me, given enough episodes or issues or WHATEVER, I'd love to try.
Sam writes...
Can anyone on the team twerk?
Greg responds...
I don't know what "twerk" means.

Hey man first off love young justice the comics and show are just astounding. Anyway I read your spin off of black mantas celeb hot tub and since cn's mad is being difficult have you tried submitting it to robot chicken on the adult swim block? One more thing read your side trip ramble, an yes I have to be the guy to asks was that real?
Greg responds...
1. I don't know anyone at Robot Chicken.
2. Can you prove otherwise? (But thanks for commenting on it. Seemed like nobody else read it.)
Queen Bee writes...
Why don't I appear in more episodes? I am drop dead gorgeous. I have the sexiest/most bad ass voice of all women, and I could bring all of the male heroes to their knees (or am I assuming too much?). I should rule the entire Eath-16, not just some dusty wasteland. You are hereby enthralled to place me as the rightful star of you show.
Greg responds...
Doesn't work long distance.
But seriously, this raises an issue that's relevant for literally every character in the series, I'd warrant. No matter how much screen time we devote to any single character, there will be someone out there who wants more. And no matter how little screen time we devote to any one character, there will be someone out there who wants less. There's just no way we can give every character as much screen time as we'd like - let alone as much as every single fan would like. It's just not possible. So, particularly in Season Two, story is dictating screen time. You may not care for our decisions, but they weren't made thoughtlessly.
Jen writes...
Considering Artemis's hair is blonde, but her eyebrows are black, what color would you suppose her eyelashes are?
Greg responds...
I don't know. Ask a biologist, I guess.
GhostDog401 writes...
Before I asked why Superboy didn't have any mirrors, to which you said he doesn't want any. So...
Why doesn't Superboy want any mirrors?
Greg responds...
Doesn't care to look into them.
Anonymous writes...
Did Tula ever have feelings for Aqualad before dating Garth?
Greg responds...
Not the kind of feelings that Kaldur might have preferred. Of course, if he had expressed some of his feelings to her BEFORE it was too late, who knows?
Not Wallace writes...
I know you've said you can't actually show LGBT characters on the show, but I think I saw you said that there was one who was just closeted. Would you ever "out" this character outside the show itself? Or would you not be allowed to? I think it's pretty horrible that you aren't allowed to have LGBT characters, it's the 21st Century and considering how isolating being young and gay can be, with no role models it can be incredibly difficult! But I understand this is not your fault.
Greg responds...
We show LGBT characters on the show all the time. We just can't acknowledge it. There's a difference. And I never said the LGBT characters on the show were closeted. I never said anything one way or the other about whether or not they were closeted - or at least, I don't remember saying anything about it. A character like Marie Logan can be out as far as she's concerned, without mentioning it out loud on the series.
And, there. I think I've just answered your question. (See also: Lexington.)
Clark Cradic writes...
Would you ever trade away your writing talents for genuine super powers? Or would that not be a fair trade?
Greg responds...
No. Such as they are, I'll stick with what abilities I've got.
