Mr. Weisman,

In regards to the Earth-16 version of Thirteen's parents, are their names Terrence "Terry" Thurston and Meihui Lan-Thurston; with the latter's maiden name being Lan?

Greg responds:

You're right about her dad. I'd have to research her mom's name before I could confirm.

Question from Hafiz

Hafiz asks:

how did you cast Maggie Q as Wonder Woman?

Greg responds:

Um. Brandon and Jamie and I discussed it. Thought she would be great, based on her work as Nikita. Offered her the role (probably through her reps). She said yes (probably through her reps).

Question from Jordan

Jordan asks:

Was cyborgs Outsider designation D08 before he joined the League? And did the D06 designation get skipped in memory of Brionâ€™s time on the Outsiders?

Greg responds:

Brion's Outsiders designation wasn't skipped in memory of him. It was his before he left the Outsiders. And (with the exception of the hijacked designations briefly assigned to Vandal, Klarion and Teekl), designations are not reused.

And yes, Cyborg had an Outsiders designation before he joined the League, at which point he received a League designation.

As for specific numbers, the policy has generally been not to reveal them outside canon material.

Question from Hari

Hari asks:

1. Did Arsenal and the 4 Runaway Meta-teens (Virgil Hawkins, Asami "Sam" Koizumi, Tye Longshadow and Eduardo "Ed" Dorado, Jr.) ever learn about how Kaldur faked his betrayal, Artemis faked her death and how Nightwing kept them both a secret from the Justice League and the Team?

2. If they have then how did they react to it after learning about it?

Greg responds:

1. Eventually.

2. I'll leave that to your imagination. But I'd think that their reactions weren't too different from those we depicted on the series - except for the fact that none of them had any real relationship with (or even knowledge of) Artemis. And only Arsenal had any ties to Kaldur or Dick.

Question from BatFan2099

BatFan2099 asks:

Was Red Arrow's obsession with recovering Speedy in season 2 a nod/replacement for his comic book drug addiction?

Greg responds:

Not particularly. But we tried to imply that he already had addiction issues - as a result of his obsession - leading into the intervention that his friends and family staged on that rooftop in "Salvage." I think that while going undercover he began using.

Question from Anonymous

Anonymous asks:

Vandal's design (at least his face) is way more different on season 3. I was surprised to see that he got a new design on season 4, way more similar to how he looked on seasons 1-2. Why did you guys decide to change it back (if we can put it in that way)?

(also, I know you don't like Deathstroke's ponytail from season 2, but everything else on that design is outstanding, can't say I haven't gotten a bit upset because his design wasn't also "changed back" xD)

Greg responds:

It's been a while now, but I think we felt that some of the designs in S3 of YJ may have moved toward the DC Animated movie style, which Phil Bourassa also designed, and we wanted - in S4 - to pull back to some of what we liked better in characters like Vandal and Batman from the first two seasons. But I truly hated that ponytail, so changing Deathstroke back - even changing him back but losing the ponytail - wasn't a priority when we had so many characters to design anew.

Question from Anonymous

Anonymous asks:

When the light picked granny goodness to join them was there concern among that she might sabotage some of their operations for darkseid?

Greg responds:

I think initially it was seen as a cooperative gesture. (Not that Vandal wasn't keeping an eye on her.) But eventually it became clear that their mutual interests could and would diverge.

Question from J$

J$ asks:

Hi Greg,

I would love to meet you in person at a show sometime, but I'm having a hard time finding a list of shows that you will be attending. Is there a good location to find this? I cannot find it on this website. Been a fan since Gargoyles, and I love watching Young Justice with my kids.

Thanks,

Joseph

Greg responds:

The only con - assuming this still interests you three years later - that I'm currently scheduled to attend is Los Angeles Comic Con on 9/27. Hope to do more in the future... but that's it for now.
