How do the members of The Light contact each other, aside from the conference calls? Cell phones, comlinks?
Greg responds...
Carrier pigeon. You name it.

I've noticed that there seemed to be an underlying theme of issues with fathers/paternal figures: Superboy with Superman, Artemis with Sportscaster in S1. Aqualad with Black Manta and Artemis again. Is that deliberate?
Greg responds...
It comes out of character, but we don't avoid it.

Why didn't SpecSpidey or YJ have "Previously On" segments? Was it a network or production decision?
Greg responds...
I'm vehemently against using them. I learned painfully from Gargoyles that they actually have the opposite effect then one would think.
Instead of acting as small reminders or hints, they convince people that they've missed too much to join the series now. They were never necessary. Everything you truly NEED to know to enjoy a given episode is spelled out in one way or another within the episode itself.
Doesn't writes is incorrect. The correct form is don't write or writes...
(Nailed it!)
How many pouches can Batman and Robin's utility belts carry?
Greg responds...
Pouches?

1- You've said that Wotan's blotting out of the sun was a distraction to lure the League AWAY from Cadmus, at the Light's behest. But what was his "cover story"? That is, what was the reason he gave the League to do so, if he gave one at all.
2- Was Robin, Aqualad and KF's dna REALLY destroyed in "Fireworks"?
3- What do the Forever People shout to transform into Infinity Man and what does it mean?
Greg responds...
1. Does he really need to cooperate?
2. Why would you think otherwise?
3. "Tarru!" It's a New Genesian word that means, "It's time to change into Infinity-Man." ;) Seriously, that's from the comics. I never thought to ask what it means, so I guess I don't know.

1. Billy Batson's Zeta-Tube override code is H-O-J. What does it stand for?
2. Can Queen Be enthral Devastation?
3. How far can the batrope extend?
4. Can you tell us what would be Icon's role in the YJ Invasion comic arc if he hadn't been pulled?
Greg responds...
1. Hall Of Justice.
2. No spoilers.
3. Not all the way to Mars.
4. He was one of Kylstar's abductees.
Marvelman writes...
Hi Greg. I asked this question before but you never really answered it. In "Alienated", M'gann tears information from a krolotean prisoner's brain and leaves him in a catatonic state. She does this in front of Martian Manhunter and Batman. I am just wondering why there wasn't some kind of a response from them. Didn't they realize what happened? And, if not, why not? Or, if they did, why didn't they confront M'gann about it? Batman and Martian Manhunter's acting like nothing unusual had happened seems odd to me. What am I missing?
The reason I am bringing this up again is that someone I was talking to pointed this scene as an instance of the "idiot ball" trope. So, I thought I would try to get to the bottom of this. Thanks.
Greg responds...
I don't know what the "idiot ball" trope means, so I have no idea if it's an instance of it or not. Nor do I recall what I did or did not answer before. It would seem to me that I'm hardly likely to give more information now than I was then.
But the short answer is that they did not fully understand what she had done to the Krolotean, keeping in mind that the Krolotean's mind was SO alien, that J'onn was having trouble reading it at all.

On Earth 16 who founded S.T.A.R. Labs?
Greg responds...
No Spoilers.
Marion writes...
In "Welcome to Happy Harbor", Superboy asks why the JL left the Cave for the Hall, even though he "witnessed" the incident that Aqualad mentions as the reason for the change in issues 1 and 2. Didn't he simply "make the connection", like when he didn't recognize Snapper Carr, or is this one of those "what-happens-in-the-comics-is-"cannon"-but-none-of-it-is-ever-mentioned-or-acknowledged-in-the-show-because-the-comics-were-retroactively-written-AFTER-the-episodes" cases?
Greg responds...
He didn't make the connection. There was nothing in his vision that indicated the League was going to leave the cave.
The comics are fully integrated into the series and vice versa.

Did it ever get annoying having to make almost every single character in Gargoyles you wanted to kill fall off something?

Eh. More amusing than annoying.

In alpha male, how did the Brain escape so stealthily in the end? Did he use a trapdoor or a boom tube? Or Klarion teleported him out?
Also, why did he eject all those compartment and appendages? It seemed like he was about to fire a mega blast or something but all that happened was the lights going out.
Greg responds...
1. I'll leave that to your imagination.
2. Maybe he needed those things to turn out the lights.

Hi Greg. Just want you to know I'm doing all that I can to help bring Young Justice back. I stream YJ every chance I have. I bought dvds for myself and my little nephews. I also got them the YJ trades.
Greg responds...
That's great! I'm sure it helped!
Sandy writes...
Did Vandal Savage invite someone to join the Light that turned him down, or are the other six the only ones he asked?
Greg responds...
Either way, that's at best a spoiler request, and at worst an idea masquerading as a question.
