Hey Greg, I'm so glad we're finally getting more Young Justice episodes. I only have one tiny bit of constructive criticism that dovetails into a question. Conner Kent is one of my favorite comic characters, and I love how you've been slowly developing him as he tries to find his purpose. However, he kind of comes of sort of angsty and the teams muscle. In the comics, I'll fully admit Conner became kind of angsty after it was revealed half his DNA came from Luthor, but it has yet to be seen if that is the case on the show. In his early comic appearances, Conner was more fun loving and loved being a hero. I guess I'm trying to say that while I understand Conner's sort of on an emotional journey, it's rather unsettling to see him with such a bleak outlook. Can we expect Superboy to become more mirthful and lose his depressing attitude?

You can expect him to be true to the character that we've developed for THIS series.
I don't know how else to put it. The out-of-the-gate personality of the Superboy from the comics didn't make sense to us given the origin we were giving him in our show. That's not a value judgement; it simply reflects two different approaches to the character. We tried to be true to the core of the character as we saw it. You may not feel we've done justice to him, but we feel pretty good about it.
As the series progresses, he'll grow and develop, and hopefully you'll enjoy how that progresses... here on Earth-16.
