First of all, thank you for making such an entertaining show in the form of Young Justice. I, for one, can’t wait for the new episodes.

I’d also like to thank you for your interpretation of Batman and Robin (they’re very Golden Age but modernized). I like that Dick is a cheerful little dude with an attitude, and that Batman isn’t a jerk to him (a much committed sin of comic writers ever since the Nineties so this really feels like a breath of fresh air).

So here’s my question (I checked the FAQ and Ask Greg with search so I hope I haven’t missed anything): In the DCU Dick Grayson has Romani heritage (his father is Romani). I understand that this is a later expansion on Dick’s circus past and only showed up in full force in later issues of the Nightwing comic, but I was wondering whether YJ!Dick also has Romani heritage. I’ve always been fond of the idea of a iconic character like Robin being partly Romani.

I hope this isn’t a spoiler request! I wouldn’t have asked this but you seemed to have no problem with revealing the information that Artemis Crock is half Vietnamese, so I gave it a try.

Also, I wonder how old Oliver Queen is in Young Justice. Usually he's one of the older Justice League members so I was curious about your interpretation.

Thanks so much and keep up the good work!

NO COMMENT on Dick's backstory for now.

Oliver Queen is 32.
