Greg,
You have put together an amazing show here. It was more than just a Saturday morning cartoon, it was a break from my work week working on my college degrees and bit of time that I could enjoy through out the week asking myself what's going to happen next.
You have succeeded in creating an emotionally investing show, even if it was made for kids, it held values and action, and my attention. Young Justice was the one thing I made sure to watch my first year away at college, and until today I could keep coming back to it. I thank you for making such a wonderful show.
I could feel like I watched Dick grow up, going from ready to lead the team from the start and then deciding he didn't want to be like Batman in the first season after failsafe. Then he comes to this point in his life during season 2 where he had to make those hard decisions. Aqualad, is by far one of my favorites, he is such a noble character and that is evident through out the seasons. He was grown when he came to us and has acted like a leader ever since. Then everything he has been through, Tula, his father, and yet he remains solid as ever. M'gann and Conner, both of them were so lost in the beginning, and now its like they've found where they want to go in life. Then there is Artemis and Wally. I won't lie to you I loved these two from the get go. Artemis is such a multidimensional character, and Wally...he's Wally there's no other way to explain him, like Artemis told M'gann. He's Wally. Everyone loves him. Artemis and Wally both become so sure of themselves, getting rid of their insecurities. Artemis so much as to go undercover and can still return to what she was. Then Wally, I doubt I will ever forgive you for what happen to him. I know your feelings on the speed force but I comfort myself by thinking that Wally is making a new discovery in the Earth-16 Universe. Wally has never been the fastest man alive, he knew that and he faced it. His noble side came through and he saved the world at the cost of his own life. When I watched that, I broke down with Artemis and felt his parents' ache when she told them. Wally is a hero.

This brings me to a few questions I do have for you.
With Aqualad and Artemis returning from undercover or dead, how is this going to affect there lives? Aqualad will be mistrusted and always suspected in the eyes of others. Artemis has a gravestone, she had retired and was attending college? How is she going to explain she died being Artemis and is back?

Why did we have to rush in and bring up Tim and Cassie in the end? I felt a little blind sided by that, much like Conner did.

Lastly, in TV I don't believe anyone is ever dead until you have a body. Wally's body was not there, he disappeared. The scarab didn't say he was going to die, he said that he would "cease", now is that a cease to exist entirely, cease to be with us here? Is that a more ominous take on what might have happened had season 3 not been cancelled?

Again, this was an amazing show. Thank you so much for your time in reading this and any answers you may provide.
Thank you!

1. SPOILER REQUEST. NO COMMENT.

2. Ditto.

3. Ditto.

4. We wanted a little shock value there. A surprising positive to at least in part balance out a surprising negative.

5. SPOILER REQUEST. NO COMMENT.

6. Nothing changed based on whether or not we received a pick-up. Brandon and I made a decision and stuck with it.

1) Did the Light (what was left of them) cut off Deathstroke and Black Manta after the events of "Summit"?

2) Did they cut off the Brain as well, since he was captured, or did they eventually bring him back into the fold?

Not sure if this counts as spoiler (if yes, then sorry), but I have 2 questions about Pog:

1. Are Pog and Griff of the London Clan related?
2. Was Pog always white or is he only white due to his old age?
3. Did Pog have a full mane when he was younger (similar to that of Leo)?

Greg responds...

1. If you mean biologically, then yes, that is indeed a SPOILER REQUEST. NO COMMENT.

2. Haven't thought about it, honestly.

3. No, I don't think so.

For questions 2 and 3, I try not to make too many visual decisions in advance of my collaboration with an artist or artists.

I believe I remember a time when you said you changed the last episode? What did you plan to do before you changed it?
I apologize if you dont remember, or maybe I'm wrong.

Greg responds...

I don't know what you're referring to.

Not even 100% sure what series you're referring to, though I assume it's YJ:I.

First off, I have to say that Young Justice has become one of my favorite shows of all time, and I hope it gets a chance to continue someday. Maybe all those hiatuses were prepping us to last until CN decides hey, you know what, that show we cancelled was actually pretty damn awesome.

My questions are: 1. How did Bart manage to build that time machine? As in, did he salvage parts from the Reach or the Team (since he was near Mt. Justice), or build it from scratch?

and 2. Would he be capable of building another/repairing his broken one? (If that's considered an idea masquerading as a question then I'm sorry, and you can delete this second question.)

Greg responds...

1. Who said he built it?

2. It seems not, since both he and Nathaniel seemed pretty sure it was a one-way trip.

BLACK CANARY FOREVER! writes...

Haha so I am guessing Black Canary is now Justice League leader because she is your favorite character. Am I correct?

Greg responds...

Well, I suppose that didn't hurt. But it also seemed right, and she has been leader of the League in the comics in the past. There was precedent for it.

Since Jaime has a crush on Cassie, is he a little jealous of Tim & Cassie together? I speak for all the fans when I say I would LOVE is it could be explored in season 3!
I'm counting on a season 3 because we are not giving up!
Thank you for ALL you've done!

Green Beatles questions:

1.Does he now share a similar relationship to his scarab as Jamie does,with it a voice in his head.

2.While he was under control, did he also have the voice, or was that a specific side effect of Blue's scarab having gone off mode.

3. The beetle had control over his telepathy, but he himself could still think, does this mean telepathy isn't directly linked with thought?

4. Was his beetle specifically made for Martains(and,through that,EACH beetle specifically made) to counter their powers(such as shapeshifting away, or density shifting).

Thanks for your time, great season(..series?) finally!

Greg responds...

1. His scarab is dead and gone. I would have thought that was clear.

2. Yes, though maybe it was less objective.

3. I'm not clear on what you're asking here.

4. I don't think so.

After watching the series finale I'm not ashamed to admit that I cried a little bit. I was wondering though if you could explain further as to what Blue Beetle's scarab meant when he said Wally would "cease"? Does this mean there is a possibility of wally not actually being dead?

Greg responds...

Choose either:

a. SPOILER REQUEST. NO COMMENT.

or

b. ASKED AND ANSWERED.

or

c. ALL OF THE ABOVE.

Hello again Greg I have more questions for you,

1. Can you give me the details on the peace treaty between the Guardians of the Universe and the Reach?

2. I was wondering what happen to Green Beetle (real name B'arzz O'oomm), did he return to Mars, is he still on Earth, is he even alive?

Greg responds...

1. Nope.

2. Watch the season finale. It answers this question.

Dear Greg,

I just watched episode 20 of Young Justice: Endgame. I just want to say that the episode was AMAZING. Truly ended in a way never to be expected.

Which brings up a couple of questions: The series seems to have ended in a very open ending hinting at possible plot points if it continued. 1). Is there any possible way, in the future( does not have to be near future), that the series could continue onto season 3 and onwards?

2). If not, then why end the series the way it has?

I am a huge fan of the team's work on the Young Justice series and want to congratulate and thank you for bring such an engaging, well thought out, and beautifully done adaption of all the characters and universe of the DC comics itself. As a fan, I hope you will be able to continue this wonderful artistic project everyone has worked so hard to make. If not, I wish you the best of luck on your next project and know this will be a series that the audience will fondly remember :>

Greg responds...

1. I hope so.

2. Because of the answer above. And because LIFE is open-ended.

Please Mr. Greg, I know that you're a very busy man and I am in love with you guy's work, especially Young Justice Series. Ever since the very first episode I have been in amazement by how good the series is. It really brought back how much eveyone truly loved all DC Heroes. I was extremely happy about the whole focus on the sidekicks,who proved to be much more than that. Now I have seen the finale now, and I hope this wont get my question deleted or anything, but I was wondering what was now next for you guys,since the unpredictable and sad ending to such a great series?

Greg responds...

I'm currently working on STAR WARS REBELS and on the second novel in my RAIN OF THE GHOSTS series: SPIRITS OF ASH AND FOAM.

Ok, Greg. Obviously, Young Justice fans got their hearts completely broken by today's season/series finale. With the success of the Veronica Mars Kickstarter... If Young Justice were to get one, would you pitch in? Honestly. As you said, clearly they CAN work.

It's a huge IF. But I'd do everything I could to help - EXCEPT donate my services.

I know you wrote about not wanting to divulge season 3 storylines, so I know you can't/won't answer if you planned to have Wally come back somehow, but hopefully you find this too small.

You always said that you planned another timeskip between seasons 2 and 3. How long would it have been from the end of "Endgame" to the beginning of 301?

HUGE, MASSIVE SPOILER REQUEST. NO COMMENT.

I just have some random questions after the finale aha
I'm sorry if they count as spoilers
1) During "Summit" was Zatanna aware of the whole Artemis fake death thing?
2) If so, did she become aware of the purpose of her Glamour Charm?
3) Does Zachary Zatara exist in Earth- 16?
4) Not really a question, but thank you so much for Young Justice and the adventures of Earth-16, the animation was beautiful, the writing was beautiful, and the show itself is beautiful. I look forward to the day we can finally get a season three, until then, thank you and your crew for this amazing show.

Greg responds...

1. "During"? Not sure. Probably.

2. Eventually.

3. SPOILER REQUEST. NO COMMENT.

4. You're very welcome!

So I just watched the "Endgame" and I was completely shocked to see a certain person die in the end. Did you plan this persons death from the beginning or what? Also will that person be revived later to come?

Now that the finale has aired could you tell who has the designations 27, 28, A06-09? And B26 is Virgil right?

Loved the finale, loved the series. I don't think I'll be functional for a few weeks. And how the Team descended on the League, was beautiful.

Greg responds...

B-26 is Static. The others are SPOILER REQUESTS. NO COMMENT.

In Endgame, the resolution to the Wally West storyline and whether he would continue with active heroing afterward was answered. I'm a huge Wally fan and in my mind he is Flash and I understand that you all are doing a seperate story, which I have loved btw.

However my question is this: Did you all make the decision apart from DC in the sense that you all felt it was necessary to write Wally out of the story? I ask because DC in recent years has all but abandoned Wally, and I wonder if that played any part in his character development to 'retire' or if you all just saw that as a natural evolution of the character you were writing. I love him in season 1 but have missed him in season 2 but nonetheless I loved the show and hate to see it end. thank you for the hard work you all put in it is appreciated.

Greg responds...

I just finished watching "Endgame" and, as expected, it was golden. It's too bad Cartoon Network/DC didn't request more episodes so that concepts such as Tim/Cassie or Static or the whole...you know...Darkseid-Light plot.

Anyway, I was wondering. Obviously you had plans for a third season, but can DC allow you to at least release your plans for the show?

If not, I wish you good luck in whatever projects you do next. I hear you're writing novels soon. At least you can write whatever you want in them, from Shakespearean references to Xanatosian plots, and they won't be cancelled by higher powers.

Greg responds...

As always, I have hopes of revisiting these characters someday, so no one is preventing me from releasing my plans but me.

I'm very hopeful about the novels. The first two will definitely be published, but whether we see the third book in the RAIN OF THE GHOSTS series will totally depend on sales of the first two.

Which, at least, is a pretty straight-forward uncomplicated criteria.

I can't help but ask, what was behind your decision to kill Wally, as opposed to say, having Barry slow down and sacrifice himself for him?
