Hi, Greg! Hope production on Season 4 is going well.
Throughout Season 3, we get only one glimpse of Ray Palmer/Atom, standing on the Flash’s shoulder in the big group shot in “Nevermore.†He’s in costume and seems to still be operating as a member of the League. Yet, Kaldur’s line in “Princes All†indicated that all Earth-based League members were present “either in person or via hologram†at the Watchtower meeting. But unless he was at the subatomic level, Ray Palmer was nowhere to be seen.
1. Can we take this as confirmation that Atom was operating as a space-based Leaguer for most of Young Justice: Outsiders?
Greg responds...
Season Four is going very well, thanks for asking. We have sixteen episodes in the can, six more in post-production, and four still being animated.
1. I don't know about "most" of the season, but certainly he was in space during that meeting in "Princes All".

Since you say you've always planned on including Dracula in the future, does that mean vampires exist in the "Gargoyles" universe?
Also, what is your opinion on there being gargoyles in the Carpathian mountains? Seems like that's a place they could roost and live safely.
Greg responds...
1. In some shape or form, yes.
2. There are none there as of 1997. But as for the past or "future"... no spoilers.
Derek writes...
Am I missing anyone or adding someone incorrectly? So far Sevarius has the DNA of the following?
Goliath, Brooklyn, Angela, Broadway, Bronx, Lexington, Eliza, Hudson, Yama, Robyn Canmore, Dingo, Talon, Maggie, Fang, Claw, Wolf, Demona, Nessie, Deiliah (Mix)?
Greg responds...
It's been a while since I saw the episodes. I guess he has Delilah, but then if you're including her, he'd also have Thailog, Burbank, Hollywood, Brentwood and Malibu. I guess he probably has Maggie, Fang, Claw and Wolf. But then I imagine he has Erin, Benny, Thug and Tasha, too.

This post is about Tim and Cassie in season 3
1.What was their relationship like?
2.What kind of boyfriend was Tim?
3.Are Tim and Cassie virgins? If not, when was their first time?
4.Have they slept with each other?
Greg responds...
1. At what point?
2. Not quite communicative enough, clearly.
3. I'm not going into that here. I'd rather leave that to your interpretation.
4. Ditto.
Lucas writes...
On a scale from 1 to 10, how estranged is Icicle Jr. from his father these days? To be honest, bad as he is, I can't see an old school villain like Senior being in ANY way accepting the idea of metahuman-child trafficking. And the fact that his own kid is engaged in that kind of business... well, everyone has to have standards, no?
Greg responds...
I don't think we've shown enough of Icicle Sr. for you to know how he'd respond to Junior's latest job description. But as for your question, I'm not big on codifying such things, plus no spoilers. Until we show it, I'll leave that to your interpretation.

Pal writes...
in episode nevermore why was more important to the team to give terra a choose than saving beast boy's life ?
Greg responds...
They still would have saved Beast Boy's life.
Ali writes...
Why did Brion pardon Jace?
As far as we know Baazovi's powers only allow him to guide people towards their darker impulses, considering the severity of the crimes Jace committed, wouldn't the psychic influences rather stop him from forgiving her.
Greg responds...
I'll leave that to your interpretation. But, in case your wondering, I stand behind our decision to have Brion do that.
Godzilla Buddies writes...
What are the names of the members of the Bumblebees cheerleaders?
Greg responds...
Well, there's Wendy Harris, Karen Beecher and Megan Morse. The rest, assuming they have names, would be spoilers to reveal.
SPIDER FAN 3.4.5 writes...
Hello there Mr. Greg, may i ask sorry to be rude, but why did Lex Luthor didn't kill Superboy after he betrayed him ?!
Greg responds...
Vengeance, as they say, is a sucker's game. One can't often make much use of a corpse. But a living hero can potentially be manipulated to one's own end.
Also... DID Superboy betray Luthor?
Luke writes...
I'm not going to lie, it was heartbreaking what happened with Brion, and honestly I'm scared and depressed about thinking what will happen to him... so all I want to know: is there still hope? Hope for Brion? Hope for him to realize he's being used, like his sister was? Hope for him to FULLY realize that he had, and hopefully deep down has, with his family, friends, and Violet were always greater than whatever vengeance and the trappings of royalty can provide?
Greg responds...
No spoilers.

Considering the first letter of each episode title in Season 3 of Young Justice spells out "Prepare the Anti-Life Equation," why was it decided to have it dealt with by episode 24; as opposed to having it last until episode 26?
Greg responds...
We felt we had two BIG plotlines to service and resolve this season. It made storytelling sense to put them in the order we did. Our story wouldn't have worked the other way around.
Anonymous writes...
Why is it that Hal Jordan appear to have aged so much in "Young Justice: Outsiders"?
Greg responds...
Lots of folks commented on that, and honestly we hadn't thought it was THAT big a change. His temples went a bit gray, as our adult heroes are starting to get up there into their late thirties and early forties. (That's happened to me, too.) Otherwise, what makes him look so old to you?
Anonymous writes...
With DC Comics having announced a "Tales from the Dark Multiverse" mini-series this past July, have you ever considered contacting them to see if you could pitch in a "Young Justice" one-shot story that would be set in a world that exist in the Dark Multiverse?
Greg responds...
I have not pitched that specifically. But I've been pitching doing more YJ companion comics non-stop since the book was cancelled.

Hi, Greg!
First of all, I had just finished season 3 of Young Justice, and it was so overwhelming. It was very bittersweet, but so satisfying to see my favorite show again (and of course, congratulations on season 4! So excited for that!).
I wanted to ask a few questions related to season 3:
1. What was the hardest episode for you to write, and why?
2. I was also excited to see Geranium City and see what happened to the genomorphs! Missed those little guys!
2a. In what state is it located in, and why that state in particular?
2b. Do Jim and Amanda live in Geranium City, or do they have their own homes out of town but visit when they can?
3. I love all three seasons, but if you could change one thing and one thing only in each season, what would it be?
4. Was there ever a scene or storyline you wanted for seasons 1 or 2 that had to be pushed back into 3?
5. Which new character introduced in season 3 were you most excited about, and which one do you relate most to?
6. Thank you again for all the great work and effort you put into this show! Not only do I love the storytelling, but I love that you include characters that otherwise wouldn't have appeared in other adaptations!
Thank you again for a wonderful season!
Greg responds...
1. Script-writing on YJ is relatively easy, as we work off detailed outlines. And writing up the outline is fairly simple, as we're working off an extremely detailed breakdown on index cards. So the question becomes what was the most difficult episode to break on the cards. And it's been so long, I honestly don't recall. But I'd guess episodes 424 and 426 were among the hardest. And I didn't personally write the scripts to either.
2. We were excited to show you!
2a. No spoilers.
2b. They live there.
3. I try not to think that way.
4. Yes.
5. It was nice finally seeing Darkseid, but honestly, I was pretty pumped for a whole bunch of characters, including Halo, Forager, Geo-Force, Cyborg and Terra.
6. Thank you for your kind words! And for watching!

How did Ed teleport into the X-pit?
In YJI, he said that he could only teleport along his line of sight.
So when we saw him teleport with Wendy in YJO from a sealed room to outside the building, I thought he had just improved his powers in such a way that he could teleport to a place he can visualize, even if he can't see the place at the time of teleporting.
However, there was no way he could visualize the X-pit. He's never seen anything like it, never experienced it before, and I highly doubt Jeff, Dick or Kaldur described to him what it was like in detail before the Outsiders went off on their mission.
The best explanation I could come up with was that maybe he visualized his team members as his destination, but I don't really know, so.
Thanks in advanced!
Greg responds...
Even in Season Two, we showed Ed teach himself to teleport out of his line of sight.
By Season Three, El Dorado can just do it. And he was teleporting down into the studio warehouse below, which sent him to the X-Pit, just as it sent Kid Flash, Vic, Beetle, etc., there.
Anonymous writes...
Young Justice Outsiders was incredible, but I'm a little unsure on something. Are Tim and Cassie broken up? I was very excited to see where this relationship would go, but it seems like their relationship has ended. Is season 3 the end of Robin and Wonder Girl?
Greg responds...
It sure looks that way... but until you know, feel free to dream. Because my only answer is NO SPOILERS.
DoubleZero225 writes...
So, while browsing the Young Justice Wiki (aware it's not the official, of course). I noticed on Superman's page, it doesn't show Lois or Jonathan (Kent?) under relatives or such. And Jonathan's page is just written "Jonathan", not Kent or lane. And Clark isn't listed as his father.
I was wondering if you'd be interested in answering the question, in which I'm sure he is the father, but we'd like confirmation.
(Not so sure if this is a spoiler request or anything but just delete if it is)
Greg responds...
Well, I don't control the YJ Wiki, though I'll admit I use it as a handy reference OFTEN.
Anyway, yes, Clark and Lois are the parents of Jonathan Samuel Kent. That really wasn't meant to be a mystery. Just a reveal.

Hi Greg!
Where is Ed supposed to be from? He sounds mexican (his dad too) but I thought his family was from Argentina

I think they are both from Argentina.

Hi Greg I just discovered gargoyles and I think it’s one of the best animated shows I’ve ever seen and I wanted to ask do you think thailog can have some redemption arc of some sorts or is he just plain evil

No spoilers. But I'm glad you like him - and the show!

1. How long has Barbara Gordon been Oracle prior to the events of Season 3?
2. Does the fact that Barbara becomes Oracle ultimately confirms that some version of "The Killing Joke" DID happen in the YJ universe? If so, how did her teammates reacted when it was revealed that Barbara would never walk again? Did they blame themselves for what happened? Did they wanted to get revenge on the Joker for his role in what happened to Barbara?
Greg responds...
1. No spoilers.
2. It confirms nothing at all.
2a-c. No spoilers.
Anonymous writes...
In the season 3 finale, Black Lightning said, "The hero gets lost fighting the good fight and becomes the very thing he or she is fighting against." We all saw how that happened with Geo-Force's case, but what exact circumstances caused it to happen in the cases of Vandal Savage, Ra's al Ghul, and Black Adam?
Greg responds...
No spoilers. (And I'm sure Vandal, Ra's and Adam might not even agree with Jeff's assessment.)
Anonymous writes...
Is there a limit to Vandal Savage's healing factor? If he were to be decapitated, would he be truly dead? Would he truly die if he were reduced to ashes or if he were to be blasted by Darkseid's Omega Beams?
Greg responds...
Damn good questions. I'd lean toward there being a limit. But I don't want to nail things down here.
Anonymous writes...
1. Just so I can understand correctly, the Light was actually named around the second millennium BCE, but it was NOT until his conversation with Ra's al Ghul around 2006 to 2007 that Vandal Savage founded the modern day incarnation of the Light?
2. Between the second millennium BCE and the 21st Century AD, what kind of threats throughout history prompted the Light to appear?
3. When the modern day members of the Light were brought into the group, did they ever asked Vandal Savage, "What's in it for me?" I mean, did each member wanted something in exchange for joining the group; perhaps to fulfill their own individual goals that were separate from the Light's main goal?
Greg responds...
1. Yep.
2. No spoilers.
3. They were likeminded individuals. They all had goals. Their goals fit. But there was no quid-pro-quo, if that's what you mean.
Anonymous writes...
1. In the comics, Vandal Savage's original name was Vandar Adg. Does this also hold true in the YJ universe and would that mean he eventually renamed himself Vandal Savage at a later point in his life?
2. In the New 52 continuity, it is mentioned that Vandal Savage was born in what would be eventually become the Perigord Noir region of France. Does this also hold true in the YJ universe?
Greg responds...
1. No spoilers.
2. I don't think so. But I'd have to do research.
Godzilla Buddies writes...
Do some of Shazam's enemies other than Black Adam exist in the Young Justice universe?
Greg responds...
We've already mentioned Ibac and Sabbac in the series, back in Season One, I believe.
Wanda writes...
In the young justice universe Why is the team call a covert unit out of the spotlight when in fact the sidekicks are seen working togather with out the justice leagers with the them on missions is seen by people save they save and by bystanders and these people tell others the justice league let there sidekicks work togather there as a team on missions ? this about the team before outsiders were form .
Greg responds...
Sorry, I'm trying, but having a bit of trouble following you here.
You're asking, I think, how the Team remained covert before the Outsiders became public, even though some people saw them here and there.
And if that's the question, the short answer is, they aren't holding press conferences. People may spot them, but then the Team vanishes into the night. And although some of the Team are famous proteges, most are full-time covert heroes, including Nightwing, Superboy (until episode 326), Miss Martian, Tigress, etc.
Dick was a public hero as Robin, but when he switched to Nightwing, he let Jason take over the Robin role, and he went covert as Nightwing. And he's never come out publicly in this new heroic identity.

I have 3 Young Justice Related questions for you 1. In Artemis's limbo Fantasy in Overwhelmed what university did she and Mr west both teach at? 2. In the limbo fantasy did Wally and Artemis both wear Glasses (Like oracle or Dr Jace) when teaching? 3. I'm not going to ask who the Waitress with the Leagon Rig at the end of nevermore as but was she Wearing glasses (like Oricle) even though her face was not shown?
Greg responds...
1. They were still living in their Palo Alto apartment, so I imagine that she imagined it was Stanford.
2. Not that I'm aware of. But it didn't come up.
3. No spoilers.
I wear glasses, though. So does Brandon.

Would brion or halo been been able to save beast boy from being killed by terra if terra choose not to liston to artemis in young justice outsiders episode nevermore ?

That's a fair question, which I'll leave that to your interpretation.

Hello again, I have a very minor question
You had mentioned in response to previous questions that many of the fictional languages have a basis is another language. I know we only ever heard one word of it, but do you have a base language you used for Thanagarian? If so, what is it?
Greg responds...
Nope. It's really more of a Brandon question, since he wrote that episode, and there has been no need as yet to expand it beyond that one word.
However, we did give the three Thanagarians a (VERY) vague Russian accent.

Mr. Weisman,
I made a mistake in a previous posting; here is the correct one below:
Thank you very much for a wonderful Season 3 of Young Justice; you've even managed to tease us with a Legion of Superheroes ring from whom I presume to be Saturn Girl. Depending on the length of the next time-skip for Season 4, I had initially wanted to tell you which DC Comics characters that I wish to see, but then I decided to hold off on that because I suspect you might probably say that there would be no absolute certainty in regards to who might appear and because you had mentioned that Season 4 will focus on a smaller group of characters. However, with the possible introduction of Earth-16's version of the Legion of Superheroes, I personally hope this move will somehow lead to their own spin-off series; because I'd personally like to see your own unique twist(s) on that superhero team of the future.
Greg responds...
That's very kind. Thank you. I'm not saying that wouldn't be fun. But we don't have a pick-up for Season Five as of yet, nor has there been any talk of spin-offs. Right now, we're just focused on finishing off Season Four.
Anonymous writes...
Is "Batman Incorporated" (or "Batman, Inc.") now considered an official name for Batman's team in the YJ universe since Batman acknowledges the team name in the season 3 finale?
Greg responds...
<shrug>
It had no official name, ever. But since Jeff kept calling it Batman, Inc., Bats relented to referring to it as that, so Jeff would know what Bats was talking about. Now that it's gone, the question is, shall we say, moot.
Finn Hamre-Myers writes...
In Young Justice: Outsiders, was one of the reasons you brought back Jason Spisak as Forager so you could do the Wally West scenes easier or at all?
Greg responds...
Nope. We can always do Wally West scenes, and Jason's always willing to come back to play Wally. But we love Jason, and Brandon and I both liked the idea of making him a regular again by casting him as Forager. And, my God, did he nail Forager or what? Love that Bug!!

Aside from Trajectory, what are the codenames for the other two members of Infinity, Inc.?

No spoilers. (But, yes.)

In the "Young Justice" universe, is Bonnie King-Jones the name of Arrowette's mother? Also, why has she not yet appeared on the show?
Greg responds...
1. Well, her name is Bonnie. Since we haven't yet seen her, I don't want to make a decision now as to whether she's hyphenated (King-Jones) or stuck with her maiden name (King). But it's clear, she hasn't fully switched over to Jones.
2. We haven't had the space for her yet, unfortunately. As you must know, we've barely had space for Cissie up to this point.

A certain pointy-haired witch boy got trapped in Fate's Tower, yet he could still communicate with the Light. Did he break out of the tower with or without help, or was a bargain made to get him out?
Greg responds...
He wasn't so much "trapped" in the Tower as LOST in it, having trouble finding the "exit". He found his way out eventually.

With Zviad Baazovi's induction into the Light, will his designation be L-11?

The L-Designations are very unofficial. Used for credit and publicity purposes, but never established "in universe".

How does "Young Justice" moving to DC Universe actually allow you to have the characters use profanity?! I mean, in "Nevermore," I heard Deathstroke say "dammit" and I heard Black Lightning say "crap"! I remember one time watching a Season 3 episode of Avengers Assemble, and I could've sworn I heard Red Hulk say "crap" and that was a Disney XD cartoon show.
Greg responds...
Um... there was a presumption of a slightly different (though overlapping) audience central target on DC Universe as opposed to Cartoon Network.
I can't speak to or for what goes on over at Disney XD.
Anonymous writes...
Why is it that the "Young Justice" version of the Anti-Life Equation works differently compared other depictions seen in comics and other media?
Greg responds...
Um... because they were other depictions in other media?
We took a careful look at what Jack Kirby created and did our best to adapt it to our series. I assume other depictions in other media did the same.

Just wow. Wow, wow, wow. Today was THE day. I am so blown away by what you and Brandon were able to do with the season finale, and the season as a whole. Coming back to such a beloved show comes with a lot of pressure, and I just want you guys to know that I am incredibly grateful for what you have achieved with Young Justice: Outsiders. Getting a chance to return to the world of Young Justice after so many years was a dream come true for the audience.
An eternal thank you to you, Brandon, as well as the entire cast and crew for breathing new life into the show. And you are gonna do it again! I am sure with as long as the queue is, there is a chance Season 4 will already be here by the time you read this. If that is the case, rest assured, I am praying for Season 5!
You guys have created the best ever adaptation of DC Comics, as far as I am concerned. I am so glad that I have gotten to see more of Earth-16, which is something I never thought would happen. Good luck with Season 4 or 5 or whatever project you are working on when you read this. You are a true visionary, Greg, and I am so happy that you’ve gotten to tell more stories set in this world.
P.S. Sorry about all the age questions.
Greg responds...
Well, I did manage to get to this before Season Four came out, at least.
Thank you so much for the support and kind words. Believe me, Brandon and I and the entire YJ Cast and Crew (across two seasons now) were thrilled we've had the chance to come back to this property.
And nothing to apologize for. Age questions happen. ;)

Mr. Weisman,
I had a question about the roster of the Team and Justice League after the events of “Nevermore.â€
1. Batman says they’re folding Batman, Inc back into the League/Team. Does this mean Metamorpho and Orphan have joined the League and Team, respectively?
1a. Is Metamorpho’s designation 37?
1b. Is Orphan’s designation B36?
Greg responds...
1. Presumably.
1a. I generally don't reveal designations here at ASK GREG.
1b. Ditto.
Fisher writes...
Granny states that non-meta humans die from the effects of the Ghost Dimension. We saw several humans effected by this at the Orphanage in "Terminus". My questions are:
1. Did Halo's rainbow aura heal the non-metas from the ghost dimension and are no longer going to die from exposure?
2. If Halo did heal The Team and the Justice League, did she then heal Jaime since he was a non-meta exposed?
3. Since Helga Jace was exposed in "Antisocial Pathologies" and has not been around Halo since, does that mean she is still dying of the anti-life equation?
Greg responds...
1. There aren't necessarily lingering effects unless exposure was prolonged, as it was with Dick. But Halo sped up the recovery process.
2. Maybe. But again, his exposure was relatively minimal.
3. No. Again, that was a brief exposure, relatively.
Chris DeRose writes...
Hey Greg. First off you are one of my favorite writers ever. Everything you’ve written and produced has been golden.
Anyway my question is since Proud Family, Lizzie McGuire, are getting revived on Disney Plus is it possible or at the very least a chance it could happen to Gargoyles, and would jump right on?
Greg responds...
It's possible. And I'd love to do more. But it's Disney's call, not mine.
Anonymous writes...
Because of the events of "Young Justice: Legacy," Tula's death was ultimately the reason why Kaldur, Garth, Wally, and Artemis left the Team before the events of "Young Justice: Invasion"?
Greg responds...
I can't tell if that's really a question or a statement. It certainly was a major reason why Kaldur went undercover and why Garth left the Team, and it clearly influenced Wally and Artemis.
Anonymous writes...
Mr. Weisman,
In "Satisfaction," how was it possible that Mercy did not suffer any other injuries after Roy set off that explosive? I mean, considering it was attached to Mercy's arm, you'd think a point-blank explosion would've done far more damage than what was depicted and she would've either been bleeding or have facial burns or something.
Greg responds...
She was bleeding, as I recall. I guess we could've gone further with it. But we felt like we went far enough, and you don't know what the recovery time was.
