Hi there
How did miss martian grew 4 arms in order to help her in combat? As you already mentioned they cannot alter their mass so her muscle mass couldn't have change so how did she grew 4 more arms?
Is it safe to assume her arms were getting weaker as her muscles had to be separated between all of the arms?

So I've fairly recently watched all of Hill Street Blues. Loved it. And it did really get me thinking a lot about the show, police justice and how Gargoyles was influenced by it.

Firstly, while searching for interviews and info on the series on YouTube, I found an old commercial for HSB which described Frank as "the Man in Charge". It made me laugh because it was so blatantly antithetical to who Frank is.

Frank is not in charge of anything. He's got a boss who is constantly on his case pushes him to keep up appearances all the while torpedoing him at basically every opportunity if it makes his job easier. Two lieutenants, one who wants to revolutionize the police force and change the way the whole city is run (i.e. "the bleeding heart liberal") -- the other a neo-fascist who wants to buy tanks and start wars on the street. (Incidentally I LOVE Howard Hunter, he is *hilarious* and super sympathetic despite this.) He has a girlfriend who is a public defender, so not only are her attitudes and sympathies just deeply anti-cop in pretty much every possible way, it's literally her *job* to oppose him to the best of her ability.

So in my mind, Frank is less the man in charge, and more so the great appeaser or compromiser. He has to balance all these forces in his life, while maintaining his authority and making sure it all doesn't implode in on itself. And he does it very well, largely because he is so extremely compassionate and *not* the "Man in Charge".

Which is largely, especially in the first season, how I think of Goliath. I rewatched the first season not *too* long ago, and one thing that struck me is how much I enjoyed one of Goliath and Elisa's first meetings where they discuss human justice. Something to the effect of Goliath questioning who decides what's just and Elisa tells him "[The people]" and Goliath says "the humans decide" and the conversation is never REALLY followed up on. Goliath's decision to become a modern-day superhero of sorts ends up being more based on just his search for a purpose, and just doing what *feels* right. But I suppose in my head I can pretend that Elisa and Goliath continued to have conversations about modern judicial practices off screen and Goliath liked what he was hearing (or I imagine he WOULD like it).

What interests me, though, is that this is *largely* what HSB is about. Both explicitly and implicitly. There are stories that discuss these issues and sometimes the characters just blatantly talk about them. And what's cool about HSB to me is how *highly* critical it is of the police, primarily as an institution. And how critical it is of the justice system.

This isn't *really* present in Gargoyles as much. The cops in the show are generally extremely fair people, and though there are the occasional token mention of the system being "flawed" this isn't really demonstrated. Which is totally fine, but it is sort of interesting to me.

Incidentally I think that element was somewhat lost after Steven Bochco left the show, and Dennis Franz became a lead. The show was still a great show, but man did it get silly.

Anyway, I don't know if I really came to a cohesive point there but I did wanna share my thoughts on the show and wanted to thank you again for (indirectly) recommending it.

Just a few questions:

1) I know Goliath is based on Frank Furillo but I got the vibe that there was a bit of Howard Hunter in Matt Bluestone? Particularly in the episode Legion, I think the RECAP robot might almost be straight out of that episode where Hunter brought a bomb disposal robot into the precinct.
I think Hudson might have a bit of Robert Prosky's physicality, Morgan a bit of Neal Washington's Zen mentality, Elisa has a bit of Lucy's street smart attitude but that's really about it.
2) Young Justice has those briefing scenes once in a while in it's first season, where Batman will sort of outline what the episode is going to be about. It reminds me a lot of the briefings in HSB. Honestly? I think it's SUPER smart. It's just a great way to outline the A, B and sometimes C plots of an episode without having to have awkward "Here we are at Brad Goodman's self-help seminar" dialogue. Was that perhaps an influence there?

Alex (aka Aldrius) writes...

1. Are Dick and Barbara in an open relationship (if they're still in a relationship -- I guess, given Dick's track record)? Or was his and Zatanna's flirting just a bit of fun? Or am I mistaken entirely?

2. Were there any particular comics or books that inspired your take on Dick in Young Justice? I've always loved this version of the character it's probably my favourite. My favourite comic Dick Grayson has been Marv Wolfman's take on him, from what I've read.

3. I'm still pretty disappointed that one of the few gay male characters in the show (let's call him the fourth of his line) isn't allowed to be so explicitly. Am I over-reading into the pat that other circus performer gave Dick on the back or Dick perhaps a bit bicurious?

Mr. Weisman,

My Previous Question: In the aftermath of "Dark Nights: Death Metal ," has the Young Justice animated universe been officially designated as Earth-16 again in the DC Multiverse, or is Earth-16 still that version that was seen in "The Multiversity: The Just?"

Your Response to My Question: No idea. I just know we're Earth-16 in the Earth-16 Universe.

My Response to Your Response: I find that very odd that you and DC Comics apparently do NOT communicate with each other when it comes to multiverse-related stuff and the changes that occur to the multiverse as a result of the aftermaths of major DC Comics events (like Flashpoint and Dark Nights: Death Metal, for example). I mean, communication between both sides IS important after all; otherwise, won't things end up becoming very confusing...? This was the reason why I had previously asked you before if DC Comics has officially re-designated the Young Justice animated universe as Earth-16; because I know you've put a lot of hard work into creating this version of the DC Universe, and it is far better than the version of Earth-16 seen in "The Multiversity: The Just," which only acknowledges Young Justice as a mere video game series.

So I had a couple of questions, did my best to skim the archives to make sure they weren't repeats, but there are 1460+ questions at this moment in time so this probably won't get through until 2025 or so. (As such, I will manifest it by saying: "congratulations on a fantastic season 5 of Young Justice!" and hopefully not jinx it)

I've TRIED to word these vaguely enough that I'm not just flat out asking you for spoilers, but... best laid plans and all that.

1) So we know Green Lantern: The Animated Series is "Canon adjacent". I assume what that means is that anything that doesn't directly contradict stuff that's happened in the Young Justice television series or any of the official tie-in media (Legacy, the Comic) happened. Or very, very similar things happen.

I'm sure you've mostly just left things ambiguous enough that you can really change your mind as the situation arises
and not trap yourself into say... the Star Sapphire-Carol lore that GL:TAS used if you want to take that in another direction.

But as it is, anything to do with Razer, Hal, Aya and Kilowog on the ship (i.e. largely the battle with the Red Lantern Corps, and then the Manhunters that followed happened) is all we know for sure happened and the only thing that definitively *did not* happen, is the stuff involving Guy Gardner and John Stewart since we know their origins already in YJ. It helps that Hal Jordan has basically only had a few cameos in Young Justice, so our imaginations can really put him wherever.

Am I on the right track there?

I'm gonna be a little bold, and these questions could be answered by the 4 remaining episodes in season 4 (asking this after the first "Nightwing episode" aired) but eh.

2) Was Sinestro a Green Lantern in team year 5?
3) When would the Red Lantern Corps invasion and Manhunter battles have taken place in relation to the events of Team Year 5? Roughly.
4) Were the Justice League and the Team aware of these events or were they so far removed from Earth that they only found out about them after the fact (if at all)?
5) Has the YJ version of Carol had a run-in with the Star Sapphires?

It is a very cool phrase and its acronym, WAFO, sounds even cooler. Therefore it must be superior to "No Spoilers". Thank you

I wanna thank you for offering us the best version of Nightwing ! It's a true pleasure for the DC fans because he's always getting nerfed in new DC animated movies, but he's actually the only Robin who is better than Batman at one skill.
Because Dick is an acrobat, Jason a fighter, and Tim a detective, but only Dick is a better acrobat than Batman.
And he can fight Batman too, btw, and even defeat him. And you just showed he's an impressive detective.
He's just the most incredible Robin ever.

Just a question : you've made him like in the comics, smart and strong and so many other character development qualities (and thank you so much for that), but if he is so smart, why is he trying to kick adversaries like Lobo or Klarion with mere sticks ? That's a bit ridiculous.

One scene I really liked is when he fought against Tommy Terror and used his skills to counter super-strength.
Genius idea !
So thank you so much for that Nightwing version !

I don't really understand why you and Brandon decided to alter the naming customs for Krypton. You have stated that Kal-El's mother is Lara El (rather than the comics-appropriate Lara Lor-Van) and Ursa has been fully named Ursa Zod. In the comics, the last name for Kryptonian females is the father's full name and did not change even when married, and while it's not the most progressive or anything, it was still a neat way to differentiate Krypton customs from Earth's. And I know that you've thought about things like this because I distinctly remember you answering in an Ask about why you guys changed Hawkwoman's name to Shayera Thal and not Shayera Hol since she was married to Katar Hol, with you answering that Earth customs are not the same as Thanagarian customs. Given that, it just makes it all the more perplexing why you guys chose to backpedal the progress that was already comics-canon and make it less so.

Have you ever watched the cartoon series, "Justice League Action"? In episode 48 of that series titled "Barehanded," it seems that an amnesiac Aya exists in that universe as Space Cabbie's GPS. At the end of that episode she realizes that universe's Green Lantern is somehow familiar to her and leaves to search for "someone" (presumably Razer). Would this episode somehow potentially affect Earth-16's Razer's continuing storyline in a future season of Young Justice?

Mr. Weisman,

Before Superboy revealed that Krypton was destroyed by its red sun, General Dru-Zod had assumed that Krypton's destruction was a result of an invasion by either New Genesis, the Daxamites, or the Green Lantern Corps. For each of those three, why did Zod thought they would invade Krypton?

Anonymous writes...

Mr. Weisman,

If you eventually reveal the Earth-16 version of Mon-El, would he be depicted as...

A. A present-day Daxamite named Lar Gand? This is assuming he is based on the Pre-Zero Hour version.

OR...

B. A 31st century descendant of the House of El named Mon-El; a human/Kryptonian hybrid born on New Krypton (also known as Jekuul; a planet residing in Sector 2811)? This is assuming he is based on the post-Rebirth version.

If it is the latter, refer to this link for the list of his relatives; which shows he is a descendant of the House of El AND the House of Zod.

Or just lucky genetics for Kent?

Mr. Weisman,

In "Rescue and Search," Ursa made an indirect mentioning of Zor-El's daughter, Kara Zor-El. Now, I am hoping above all hope that this mentioning is not some mere coincidence, and that that this means that Supergirl will eventually make her Earth-16 debut.

If this ends up being true, I will like to admit to you that the one of the things that I personally hope you will explore with your version of Supergirl is her relationship with her "cousin" Superboy. When the Kara Zor-El version of Supergirl first appeared in the comics, one of my FAVORITE moments was when she had her first encounter with Superboy in Smallville. At the time when this encounter took place, Superboy was in a pretty bad place and wanted Supergirl to leave him alone. It resulted in a short fight in which Supergirl was forced to punch Superboy in the face and temporarily broke his jaw on accident. Supergirl then fixed it shortly afterwards; allowing Superboy to calm down and resolving the misunderstanding between them. However, before the two have a chance to start over, some of the Teen Titans attack Supergirl due to misinterpreting the situation. When Supergirl tries to leave, Superboy immediately came to her defense; stating that his fellow Titans should leave and that his "cousin" didn't have to leave. The jaw-breaking incident was later referenced during the crossover event, "Superman: Last Stand on New Krypton," during which there was a moment in which Supergirl misinterpreted a situation when she sees what appears to be Superboy holding her mother (Alura In-Ze) by the throat and preparing to punch her, and Kara punches him away despite him trying to tell Kara that the situation was NOT what it seem to look like. Fortunately, Superboy managed to save Kara and her mother from being killed by Brainiac's robots not long after, and soon after, Superboy remarked that Kara still had a mean right hook; even though Kara mentioned that she pulled her punch a little; making it nice callback to their first encounter.

I'm hoping that the Earth-16 version of the "cousin" relationship between Superboy and Supergirl will be similar to that seen in the pre-Flashpoint DC Comics continuity (New Earth). I do NOT like the post-Flashpoint DC Comics continuity (Prime Earth) interpretation of the first encounter between Superboy and Supergirl because the latter was hostile to the former upon learning he was a clone and, because there was a bad history on Krypton involving clones, she called him "Kon-El" because in The New 52, the name meant "abomination of the House of El."

Mr. Weisman,

My Previous Question: In "Odnu!" we see the Earth-16 debut of the Phantom Stranger. Now, despite the ethnicity change (from Caucasian to African-American), is his real name identified as Judas Iscariot; like his New 52 counterpart (as indicated in "Trinity of Sin: The Phantom Stranger: Futures End #1")?

Your Response to My Question: I haven't read that - or any Pre-Rebirth New 52 comics. (That's not a comment on their quality. I just wasn't reading comics during that era and didn't hop back on again until Rebirth.) So if PS is JI, it's news to me. Not saying no. Just haven't thought about it at all to see if it fits with what I do know about the Earth-16 version of PS.

My Response to Your Response: The reason I had suspected that the Earth-16 version of the Phantom Stranger was likely based on the post-Flashpoint (Prime Earth) version of the character from the comics is because he is clearly branded with the 30 silver pieces on his attire; the pre-Flashpoint (New Earth) version of the character does NOT have them. In post-Flashpoint DC Comics continuity, his origin was revealed in "Trinity of Sin: The Phantom Stranger" Issue #0, but at the time, his identity as Judas Iscariot was implied, but NOT confirmed. His true identity as Judas Iscariot was officially confirmed during his narration in "Trinity of Sin: The Phantom Stranger: Futures End" Issue #1. At some point in his long life, he went by the name of Phillip Stark and had a wife (Elena Stark), a daughter (Allie Stark), and a son (Tim Stark); but unfortunately they are all deceased. It is also implied in "Trinity of Sin: The Phantom Stranger: Futures End" Issue #1 by Elena Stark that she and the Phantom Stranger have known each other for countless lifetimes LONG BEFORE she was Elena, although what that means is unclear and was never answered in the comics.

Was this helpful to you, or do you think that you might have to do some research on the pre-Flashpoint (New Earth) and post-Flashpoint versions of the Phantom Stranger in order to create a new history for the Earth-16 version of the character?

This may surprise you, but I have question about how time travel works

First let me preface this by saying that I agree with your preferred method of doing time travel as closed loops. Nothing changes the past because it was part of the past. Avalon Part 2 has always been a favorite episode of mine because I always loved how cleanly you explained the two Archmages working in a loop together. But I also understand that DC comics as a whole doesn't work the same way. Some of DC's most iconic stories revolve around time travel, so we have to get messy and roll with it.

1. When Mantis (who is now the MVP of S4) set the Time Sphere back one day to get the Phantom Projector, he created a closed loop of time travel. He didn't alter the past in anyway that prevents his future self from doing the same thing when he arrives later. Basically, Zod's team can't find the PZ projector because it's already been taken into the past by Mantis. So closed loops are possible on Earth-16, but they aren't necessarily guaranteed and require some skill to pull off?

2. Now we get messy. In 2020, Child kills Teekl and de-corporealizes Klarion. Klarion then travels back to 2010 and hijacks the school bus. He then bounces around time for a while until he arrives back in 2020. After Child's defeat, the bus is sent back. So, this would also be a closed loop? The problem here though is that the timeline was altered several times after Team Year Zero. E.g Bart arrives in 2015 and alters history by preventing the Reach Apocalypse and so does Lor-Zod. But this means events would play out differently than the original timelines. Which means Child may not have killed Klarion in Bart's timeline. Not to mention someone else could alter history again and maybe prevent Klarion's death from ever happening in 2020. Yet from what we see, the school bus thing was always Klarion. I guess I want to understand how this could a closed loop of time travel like in Gargoyles, when history is also subject to change in Young Justice?

3. I like the Chronotron radiation rule. Basically, if someone is dosed in this radiation, they are immune, or in future Neutron’s case, semi-immune to changes in the timeline. So this may be a spoiler question since it involves a hypothetical scenario, but it is based off what we’ve seen already. Let's say someone time travels back to Team Year Zero and mucks up history, resulting in a new timeline. What would happen to Bart, Lod-Zod, the Legionnaires and I guess Mantis and M'comm, who have all been exposed to Chronotron radiation? If it makes them immune to changes in timelines, then it stands to reason they would be unaffected if someone else alters history even further back. We know that Bart's timeline is gone, but so far, he has stuck around, and the Legionnaires survived Lor-Zod's changes because of the radiation. So, does the radiation make you time-proof forever or do you just need to be in proximity to this radiation and have a strong enough dosage when the timeline is about to be alerted?

4. When speaking to the Legionaries, Superman asked why they don't use their time sphere to go back and try to save Superboy. I get that Superman may not know the rules of how it works, but this brings me to another hypothetical scenario. Let's say, after Lor-Zod's first failed attempt to kill Superboy at the UN, he decides to just go back in time earlier and try again rather than wait for another chance. So, if he went back, like say a week, knowing where Superboy was and killing him, that would change history. So, what would happen to the Lor-Zod who would show up the UN a week later? Since Past-Lor-Zod has Chronotron radiation, he is immune to changes in history. Would that include ones made by his own future self, going further back into the past? Similarly, let's say the Legionnaires did go back to save Superboy on Mars, they would run into their past selves, who like them are immune to changes in history due to Chronotron radiation. So, would the duplicates stick around or be erased from the timeline?

5. I'm a bit confused by Chameleon Boy expecting there to be changes after talking to Superman. He initially thinks they failed to reset the timeline, but then Saturn Girl brings up their exposure to Chronotron radiation making them immune to changes. I mean Bart resetting the timeline didn't make him disappear or send him back to his future so why was Chameleon Boy expecting something to happen? Am I missing something in this exchange or was it just a case of Chameleon Boy being optimistic?

Maybe you have notes somewhere, or it's on the timeline, or it's a discussion that you have had with Brandon Vietti? I just thought I'd bring up that you did know the answer to this once, and I'm trying to jog your memory.

1) If a lord a chaos like Klarion can instinctively know that Superboy is in the phantom zone and go INTO the phantom zone to try to reach him, why can't a lord of order like Dr Fate do the same and be aware that Conner is alive ?
2) Same question for Phantom Stranger, who is almost omniscient and can enter nearly everywhere, including Fate's helmet.
3) If G lantern Forager went to die, would her ring's aura tell to the next GL the oath "forager's way" ? Like 'speak after me : beware Forager's power..." and the poor guy is gonna say a wrong oath because Forager can't speak at the first person ^^
Not sure you see what I mean here but I find it to be a funny situation.
4) It appears Lor-Zod doesn't know the name Savage. Does that mean that Vandal failed in conquering the galaxy in the future ?
5) Just saying, after seeing Rocket's arc, it's criminal that the show isn't renewed already. This is a masterpiece, and I think I can tell you guys have done the best superhero show ever with the Bruce Timm's Justice League. You've taken over what I thought could never be equaled.
Thank you for your amazing work, hope you'll be able to do season 5. To think you couldn't because no one renewed it...
Hurts deeply.

I got a question about making the green lantern TAS canon adjacent to young justice.

In the past, you and Brandon consiousoh avoided to be compared to other DC cartoons. Hence the reason you said you avoided casting people that had played the same roles before. Say you wouldn’t have casted Kevin Conroy as Batman.

You guys even had Beast Boys’s voice actor be the same as Teen Titans only because your original choice was not available anymore.

So…what made you change your mind and add a whole entire continuity, that being Green lancer TAS and make it canon adjacent to young justice?

Mr. Weisman,

If the relationship between Beast Boy and Perdita somehow ends up being confirmed as officially over (whether by the end of Season 4 or the "Young Justice: Targets" comics) even if Beast Boy's mental health improves, does that mean that Terra will end up becoming Beast Boy's new love interest?

FallenLegend writes...

Just some questions regarding the kryotonian prisioners.

1.-Metron was worried they could endanger the galaxy, and Darkseid seemed to agree as he offered Lor-Zid same "winner takes all" deal he offered to Savage

But isn't that an overeaction? Sure thet would all have the powers of Superman and that makes them formidable. But your version of Superman is explicitly made much less powerful than most interpretations.

Simply put it seems like they would have zero chance agains the magic characters like Dr fate from the league, or Klarion as they are all vulnerable to magic, let alone the full justice league.

Dr fate alone could just use a portal and take them to space they couldnt breathe, like space.

Icon, Superman, and Savage could also match some of them and so on

And potentially the villains ,like Black adam or the light wouldn't be to kin on being ruled by them.

Child seems to be the bigger threat desoie her only being the mid season villain.

2.- I know power varies wildly between individuals. But, judging by the fight between Orion and Lor-Zod, is it safe to assume that new gods, and powered krypotnians are in the same ballpark regarding strenght and durability?

3.- If not, which race is stronger and more durable on average?

Mr. Weisman,

Is the following quote from the comics also true in the Earth-16 universe in regards to the death of the Old Gods and the rise of the New Gods?

"There came a time when the Old Gods died! The brave died with the cunning! The noble perished, locked in battle with the unleashed evil! It was the last day for them! An ancient era was passing in fiery holocaust! The final moment came with the fatal release of the indescribable power â€" which tore the home of the Old Gods asunder â€" split it in great halves â€" and filled the universe with the blinding death-flash of its destruction! In the end there were two giant molten bodies, spinning slow and barren â€" clean of all that had gone before â€" adrift in the fading sounds of cosmic thunder... Silence closed upon what had happened â€" a long, deep silence â€" wrapped in massive darkness... it was this way for an age... THENâ€"THERE WAS NEW LIGHT!"

Yo, Greg, how about we do another AMA on my Sub? I mean, shiiiiit, all I've been getting lately is posts from people complaining about how the show sucks because its woke shit, and I'm tired!! That's not the attention I was hoping for when I let in my house! I thought the Sub would get like 50x subscribers, but booking you wasn't as impressive as I thought it would. Quite UNDERWHELMING, really. My followers also didn't celebrate me as hard or for as long as I imagined neither..... Being this the last season of the show, my precious Sub will dry up more than AH's snatch (lol).

Hi Greg

a few questions then a thank you.

1) I read that Batman became Batman at the age of 21. Crazy young compared to other iterations of the character. What did his training look like before he became Batman? And was any of that training by Alfred?

2) How do you rate the combat prowess of Earth-16's Batman?

3) I absolutely loved your Nightwing & Roy vs Brick fight in S3. I always love seeing trained humans fighting metahumans.
How strong a metahuman can a well-trained human with standard vigilante gear defeat without relying on insta-win gadgets like red sun batons or kryptonite rings?

4)Would Nightwing have beaten Tommy Terror in a 1v1 if he wasn't focused on getting those kids out?

I want to start off by saying thank you. Thank you for bringing attention to minority groups that never get attention in mainstream media.
Not just having a cameo of the week to "celebrate our differences", but actually making these people main characters.

As a kid the only faces of heroes I've seen were white. Guys who looked like me were often racist caricatures with thick accents like Leslie Chow or emasculated nerdy losers.
Even the "heroes" like Jackie Chan or Jet Li were considered others, not a real American. For the longest time, I didn't think of being an Asian-American male as something to be proud of.
Even though I was born and raised in the states, it was pretty clear that there were many who considered me a perpetual foreigner.
And I know I'm not the only ethnicity that's experienced this. A lot of us are "Outsiders" if you will.

It really means a lot to know that it's not just white faces that get to be heroes.

So thank you for bringing non-traditional faces to the screen.

I'm sorry in advance.

I was looking through the archives for gargoyle heights and came across some questions pertaining to human/gargoyle err, intimacy issues with incompatible equipment, which led to this.

If say, Goliath and Elisa received a magical talisman or something that allowed the wearer to match their partner's form (Goliath becomes a human or Elisa becomes a gargoyle) and it's all systems go. The lights are dimmed. The Berry White is playing. Even considering they will have nigh-endless encounters of a similar nature in the future, who changes their form FIRST? And do they volunteer or have to be talked into it?

The little glowing green eye that Lor-Zod seemed to recognize and then grabbed is the Emerald Eye of Ekron, correct? I could've sworn that it was a lot bigger in the comics...

Arstinos writes...

In the latest arc of Young Justice, there is a subplot about Rocket learning to understand her son's autism through her interactions with Orion. I personally was very disappointed with the way that this arc resolved, and it just seemed to fall into the basic "overcoming narrative" tropes that have been so harmful to the disabled community (especially autistic folk) in the past. The arc also largely focused on everyone else's perceptions of the neurodiverse characters without giving much voice to Orion or Amistad to talk about their own experiences.

I'm wondering if you had anyone who was autistic or at least a disabilities activist working on/reviewing these episodes? If not, would you consider hiring someone to work on future stories that touch on these subjects?

Anonymous writes...

Mr. Weisman,

Just so I can understand correctly, Dru-Zod and the rest of the Phantom Zone prisoners are from the present time, and they wouldn't know who the future Lor-Zod is even though Ursa would still be (presumably) one month pregnant with him right now. As such, should we assume that the future Lor-Zod will end up getting killed by his own father (presumably as a result of some kind of misunderstanding) and the present Lor-Zod will grow up to be a good guy instead...?

Mr. Weisman,

The Earth-16 version of Superboy does not have access to all of Superman's powers apparently because of his half-human, half-Kryptonian DNA. However, if Superboy ends up in a position where he is in a critical condition that requires him to get a blood transfusion from Superman, would he be able to gain access to all of Superman's powers as a result? The reason I am asking this question is because I am aware that red shields only provided a temporary solution in Season 1, but caused him to be more aggressive with each use. As such, I have been wondering if there was a possible solution that is permanent but does not cause him to become aggressive?

Hi Greg !
I've pretty surprised to hear in YJ the pronoun "they" to describe someone instead of him or her. I mean, why you, especially you, a writer, would you support the destruction of the language ?
Or maybe you think this is an actual progress, and in that case, I'm deeply worried about what you're gonna do next.
This could be the perfect show, if it wasn't for this silly woke ideology who comes and ruins everything, like a virus spreading inside a healthy body.
All right, maybe not the best metaphor here, but you got the point.
Just... WHY did you have to turn woke ? I find this to be an abomination and that has ruined a part of the show for me.
I mean, sure, you can be inclusive for those communities, but why this much ? It's like it's you're number one priority, and it's scary. We don't have a single episode with some woke allusions, and I'm really tired of it at this point.

I know that you moderators will be eager to delete this, so here's a message for you :
Before you do that, consider that this question, as unpleasant or offending (not my intend, really) as it might be, represents a lot of people who don't talk about this, but who nonetheless think the same way.
I think constructive criticism must be allowed, even if you find it personally unpleasant.
People have the right to be against woke ideology, as much as those who are supporting it.
If we hear only from one point of view, that's not fair, right ?

I'd just like to hear Greg's thoughts about that. That's an important subject that I think should not be putted aside, even if it's from the opposite opinion.

Thank you.

1. I just started watching the show and I am enjoying it quite a lot, so I know it's been a long time since you wrote the episode Denial but in this episode there is a line "Oh, no. Not me. I'm just an old coot/coat Fate used to put on." when I watched this on Netflix the subtitles said coat and I really like this line but on IMDb in the quotes section it says coot. I know it seems like a trivial question but if possible do check and let me know if you remember what you wrote granted it was 10 long years.
2. Also my friend who is caught up with the show told me to watch GLTAS since it's a somewhat shared world(not quite sure what he meant by this,said the same thing for Green Arrow Showcase the same shared world thing about that too and to watch it after s1 ep 20. and Catwoman Hunted after season 3) and said I can just watch it along with season 2 of young justice alternating between the two shows Or after season 2 and before season 3. What order would you recommend for watching GLTAS.
