The thing that has always most impressed me about your shows is the meticulous planning that goes into them early on. The little, seemingly innocuous threads that you drop only to pick up seasons later (eg. The kids on the bus in Young Justice).

My question is, what is the biggest event (released to date, no spoilers 🙂) across any of your shows that was completely spontaneous, and not planned out from the beginning? Or else something that had to be changed drastically at the last minute from the original plan?

Greg responds...

Oh, probably Puck. We knew early on that there was something interesting about Owen, but we didn't know what it was. Then, while writing the script to "The Mirror," we (i.e. myself and - separately - Brynne Chandler Reaves and Lydia C. Marano) realized that Owen was Puck. Of course, at THAT point, we began planting seeds for the ultimate reveal way down the road. But we didn't have it when we started Season One - or even when we started Season Two. Or even when we first decided to introduce Puck. Fortunately, it came to us in time to still make us look like we'd planned it all along.

Hello Mr.Weisman
How did bane almost defeat batman in hand to hand combat? Shouldn't batman be more skilled and experienced (If not stronger) than bane? Was he holding back or he is just getting older and is not as good as he used to be?
And sorry about the grammatical mistakes, I am not a native English speaker.

Greg responds...

Why would you think that Batman would be more skilled and experienced than Bane? They have parallel backgrounds, and Bane's been literally fighting for his life since early childhood, i.e. years before Bruce started training in earnest.

Why did you have Tara say mother of goat instead of mother of God in young justice outsiders?

Greg responds...

It started with Brion, not Tara. And, candidly, it started with Brion's voice actor, Troy Baker, who said it once during a recording session, and we thought it was so funny, we used it and kept using it. Then we decided it was a common (translated) expression in Markovia - a less blasphemous euphemism for Mother of God. So, since Tara is Markovian, it made sense for her to say it, too.

1 In Catwoman Hunted Selina is often talking to Holly, is this Holly Robinson
2 Also they talk about someone named Anna is this Anya Volkova, this is the only Anya I could think of and she is a new character, unless I am missing something obvious. Can you please confirm who this Anya is.

Greg responds...

1. Yep.

2. Original character.

Really loved Catwoman Hunted any chance you can reveal or share the Lyrics of the Ending Song "Thief in the night", I want to know what the English and non-English part of the lyrics was saying.

Greg responds...

I don't know. I didn't write the lyrics. Sorry!

With the release of Catwoman: Hunted (no spoilers) that your state is "canon adjacent," similar to DC Showcase: Green Arrow (also did you’re written for that short film back in the 2010s). Thought if there are any plans to expand the Earth-16 just beyond Young Justice.

What other characters or team that you’re like and anyone else involved in DC that wants to next? Not only you’re guys making no longer Young Justice episodes. You're making the Young Justice Universe.

Greg responds...

The list is endless. Whatever they'd let us do. Whenever they'd let us do it.

I know this isn't that uncommon in the fandom, but I am obsessed with the Zeta designations used on YJ. I have a spreadsheet tracking revealed designations, every time they were used on screen, on panel, on Ask Greg, or in promotional material, and a (very rough) timeline of when each number was activated. I even have predictions of who might be the unrevealed numbers. My white whale is the A-series, which by its nature isn't easy to predict. I know it's useless to ask you to reveal the unknown numbers, but I feel like this question is playing fair with the Ask Greg rules: Has the audience been introduced to every individual who has been granted an A-series designation?

And since I have a couple more question slots:
2. Does Captain Atom undergo a significant enough physical change when he becomes Nathanial Adams that he would need a separate designation number, similar to the Marvel family?
3. What name is used for Billy Batson's A-05 designation? Is it William Batson, like how Mal Duncan is designated Malcolm Duncan? I can't imagine the JL computer reading out "Billy" without laughing.
4. Same question as 3, but for Lieutenant Marvel/Freddy Freeman's A designation. Is it Freddy or Frederick or some other permutation?
5. And one that I'm fairly sure will be hit with the SPOILER REQUEST: Are there any C-designations besides Wolf and Sphere?

Greg responds...

1. I'm afraid not. I just took a quick glance at the list, and there are at least four characters who are on it who haven't yet appeared. I had to plan ahead, you see.

2. No.

3. It's Billy.

4. Freddy.

5. Yes. I have Cs up to C-07. And honestly, I don't think they'd be all that hard to guess.

How did you cast Jenifer Lewis? She's not commonly seen doing voice over work. Whose idea was it to cast here? How is she?

Greg responds...

Jamie Thomason suggested her, I believe. (Though, it's been awhile.) And she was great. I haven't seen her since, so I hope she's still doing well.

How old were Kaldur and Garth when they met?

Greg responds...

They're from different city-states, so they didn't meet until Sorcery School, when both were 13.

Consedering klarion’s mind is very chaotic how did he remember the deal he made with savage to return back to atlantis? Did teekl remind him about it?

Greg responds...

Sure. Although Chaos doesn't mean he couldn't chaotically remember he had something to do somewhere. And it might as well be Atlantis.
