Hi Greg Weisman,
First of all I love Young Justice, it's what made me get into animation in the first place. I have a question about one thing. Since that the show is taking some real life views, it made me wonder, did the 9/11 attacks occur in 2001?
Greg responds...
Yep.

1. Prior to the modern-day incarnation, how were previous members of Vandal Savage's Light usually chosen?
2. Because Vandal Savage is immortal, could it be assumed that he knows certain truths in human history that no one else even knows about?
Greg responds...
1. <shrug> I guess the answer is NO SPOILERS.
2. <shrug> He certainly thinks he does.

During Vandal Savage's time as Genghis Khan, what were the names of his two meta-human sons and what ultimately happened to them?
Greg responds...
1. Jochi and Tolui were the sons that appeared on screen.
2. You can do your own research.

In regards to Vandal Savage in the Young Justice animated universe:
1. In the time before the meteor arrived on Earth, was he part of a clan or tribe, or did he live his entire life alone.
2. Did he ever called the cave bear who attacked him by name? If so, what was the cave bear's name? Ursus?
3. How and when did he ultimately decided to permanently go by the name Vandal Savage?
4. Did he ever attempted to solve the mystery of the meteor's origins?
Greg responds...
1. No spoilers.
2. We just call it the Cave Bear.
3. No spoilers.
4. No spoilers.

In the Young Justice animated universe, is Steel's secret identity John Henry Irons?
Greg responds...
Yep. I seem to recall Silas calling him John Henry on screen, right?

Hi Greg! Once again, thanks for the amazing show that is Young Justice. I wanted to ask a few more questions about the show I adore.
1. How old are Traya, Anissa, and Jennifer?
2. Was there any debate between the writers, producers, and actors over how to pronounce Lian? (I know some people including myself pronounced it as LeeAnn, and sometimes say that)
3. If it was Cadmus policy to delete the source material, how come they kept Roy alive and frozen instead?
4. How did Mal and Karen discover Conner's and Megan's real identities, or is that something we might see later?
5. What's your response and feeling when people come up to you and say that the show (or even Gargoyles) helped them during a difficult time, maybe even saved them from suicide?
Thanks!
Greg responds...
1. By the end of Team Year Eight...
Traya Smith is 11;
Anissa Pierce is 5;
Jennifer Pierce is 3.
2. I pretty much set it as Lee-AHN from the beginning and Brandon, Jamie and the actors followed my lead.
3. The Light thought they might have a use for him later.
4. Yeah, no spoilers.
5. On the one hand, I'm glad we were of use, but it's sad that we were necessary in that way.

Two questions about Season 3
1. Do any of the rescued meta-teens in True Heroes, Influence, Early Warning and Into the Breach have names?
2. If they do, can you identify which specific metas they were
Greg responds...
1. Yes.
2. No spoilers.
Jason R. Carter writes...
1. How exactly was Lady Shiva able to decapitate Orm?
2. Was DeLamb's usefulness as a pawn for the Light a major reason he wasn't already executed for regicide and high treason?
3. Where's La'gaan been and is he invited to the wedding?
Greg responds...
1. With a sword.
2. By whom?
3. What wedding?
Wells writes...
1. Given that Terra betraying the team is a well-known trope, were you determined to have Terra turn away from Deathsttroke in the ends, or were there other ideas where she still went dar?
2. Were you ever tempted to have Terra actually kill Beast Boy like Deathstroke told her to?
3. In your mind, did Brion take Terra's place in your version of the Judas Contract story.
Greg responds...
1. Behind the scenes, I suppose lots of things may have been considered, but it was a long time ago, and we pretty much had the basic storyline in mind more-or-less from the start.
2. I don't think we ever considered killing Beast Boy then and there.
3. I'm not so in love with the necessity to viewing things in such a one-to-one schematic way. We weren't really doing much of an adaptation of Judas Contract. Not very many elements from that particular storyline were particularly present. We were doing an adaptation of a character, i.e. Terra, who happened to be introduced in that memorable New Teen Titans arc. But saying that Geo-Force took Terra's place is both accurate on one level and dead wrong on another. All depends how you define your terms, I suppose.

Why did Halo not heal beast boy's broken arm after the mission seen in episode young justice outsiders nevermore was over ?
Greg responds...
Halo has not quite learned to heal other people yet from physical injuries.

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".
Danny writes...
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.
Shelby writes...
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.
Emma writes...
what did count vertigo think of fact Perdita was dating Garfield Logan ?
Greg responds...
I'm sure he was thrilled.
<sarcasm detector beeps loudly>
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!
