Mr. Wiesman, 

I would like to first preface my question with saying that I truly admire both you and Brandon Vietti. What you and Brandon have created in Earth 16 has been truly fantastic and the first 2 seasons of Young Justice are the best two seasons of any DC show in my book. And as an aspiring writer, your work on both YJ and Spectacular Spider-Man have been very influential to me.

Now, my question has to do with the Nightwing arc of season 4. To me, this arc didn't feel very focused on Nightwing at all. I was hoping for something akin to the Artemis' arc, where we got to really get inside her character and her trauma. I personally couldn't find any attempt to get inside Dick's character with the last five episodes. 

Now instead of throwing a bunch of criticisms or anything like that, I just want to ask what your intentions for him in that arc were? Is it just much more subtle and I wasn't able to pick it up or did you not attempt to do any character development with him in the arc? 
I very much appreciate you taking the time to answer my question and I hope you have a good day! Hope to see the show renewed for season 5!

-Just adding one paragraph in response to the last Greg's post-

Hi Greg ! REALLY hope you'll see this post or somebody will bring it to your attention, because it wouldn't make much sense that you read it in one year. Maybe Marvelman (which discussed about it with me at the time) can signal it to you on twitter, since I don't have it. (Thank you if you do it).

First, I want to apologize about being so vindictive in my criticism, I reacted directly after seeing the episode, and I was really mad. Not mad at you, just sooo frustrated that Zatanna (one of my favs characters ever) got less screentime and focus than prayers and religious talking.
I guess I wasn't expecting that. Hard to believe, though, that Artemis got complains about her little screentime, since you developed her family story and character, with her sister, father, flash-backs and so on... Artemis'arc was really about Artemis, but I guess you'll always have complains anyway.
And to be very clear, even if I could, I will still not try to prevent you from saying this or talking about that or that. That's YOUR show, and I understand very well that a writer's first duty is to follow his own mind without listening to other people around him. Or else, you're doing marketing.
So, even if, say, you've chosen to talk about religion all season 5 long (providing there will be one), I'll be sad and mad and disappointed and so on, but I prefer this than deciding for you.
Just to be clear. I'll never tell you you've done wrong. You do what you wanna do, and I like it or not. Period.

As for using the ''Jehovah's Witnesses as some kind of ultimate example of cultish religious extremism '' I would answer you that when you refuse (and I have witnessed that) a blood transfusion for your kid when he/her is about to die, and in case the doctors still want to save him and do the transfusion you ABANDON your own child... I mean, just an example, all right, and I could find many more, What do you call extremism then ? But I didn't say they were the worst out there, that was just an example of atrocious religious brain-washing. And again, I don't target religious people, only religion. Religious people are mainly victims. Objectively, that's the number one source of atrocities in the world today.

If you wanna talk about faith, you can do that outside of religion. It's not only religious faith out there ! I'm an agnostic, and I have some kind of faith about the universe. Don't know how to describe it, but I'm feeling something. Everybody has faith, in his own way. Being agnostic or even atheist doesn't mean you don't think there's an afterlife or a higher power. There are other possibilities than the VERY silly ones proposed by religion. Because, yes, religion is silly. I'm not saying they're wrong, but they're silly. Because, if they're not silly, nothing is. The word ''silly'' exists to designate something. And what could be more silly than saying God has a kid, or judaism (you must be aware of that) spreads through the blood of the mother ?

In fact, when you say it would be difficult to include atheists in the show, I think nothing is more wrong than that. All an atheist must do to be right is to prove the religions are wrong. And you, have definitely proved religious claims to be wrong in earth16.
Huh ?
Yes, because let's take Vandal Savage, for instance. He's 50000 years old, and religions are saying the world is 6000 years old. So Vandal is a living proof that contradicts religions (the main ones at least). And it's not because the soul exists in your world that this proves religions to be right. Anyway, that would be too long to discuss, I've already made a more detailed post about it under my other name ''Paladin''.
Religions are inconsistent anyway, given that every religious textbook is contradicting itself at some point. Which religious people will never admit, but anyway...
An atheist is perfectly ready to accept anything that comes his way, as long as there is proof. He doesn't make unfounded claims like religious people do. So he can very well accept demons and new gods and stuff. And an agnostic is even more tolerant, because he's just saying he doesn't know. So that the humblest position you could have.

When you say this is a story about people and not superheros, well, it isn't. You choose to use DC characters and you have a responsibility with them. If you want to make a character LGBT or else, you can create your own and there will be no problem. But when you use characters that people loved for decades, you can't do whatever you want with them. If somebody was making Mickey Mouse gay or muslim, that would ruin my childhood and it's not because I hate gays or muslims.

As for Khalid, I don't think you can compare his presence to Zatara's because he's been introduced especially for this episode, and Zatara is a long time season 1 character. But anyway, not important.

I would have much more to say, and I'm sure you would too, but I guess this is already taking too long.
SO, at last, I'm sorry if I sounded obnoxious or anything else, I didn't mean to, I acted on impulse because I DO LOVE that show so much, and I thank you and Brandon for bringing those wonderful stories to us. Hope you'll do great, and good luck for everything !

Sorry to re-post this, it feels like I'm spamming the queue, but this is not intended to be answered in one year so moderators can delete that post and the old one when you come to it.

Hello Greg! Much love from Turkey and thank you all for another wonderful season!

Im quite happy that Black Canary mentioned 'Sacntuary' cause i loved the story around Beast Boy this season and would like to see more. Maybe Jason could end up there? I remember he and Damian were teased but i cant remember if it lead to anything so far.

Given the record track of you guys recreating 'weaker' comic stories gives me even more hope for Heroes in Crisis with the Sanctuary.

Hi Greg, I was just wondering how old is Kara Zor-El by 2020? why did Conner get a buzz cut, by the end of Season 4? Do the workers of the Erdel Initiative know that Em’ree (now M’ree) is a Martian, or does she shift into a more human form? And do Jim and Mal share the mantle of Guardian? The finale was great, and I hope we get a Season 5

Hi,
just was wondering, what is Dinah's relationship with Ollie after their seeming falling out in season 3. They were eyeing each other in the season 3 finale from what I could see and about the same in season 4 finale, with Ollie seeming more annoyed this time, but that's about it. What about Kaldur who blindsided her even more by pretending to be its victim?

"So straight up...if I should stop tolerating or showing viewpoints that are not my own (spoken as someone who is absolutely straight), then should I now stop showing religion as well? Because that's what this comes down to. Is that what you want? Because religion is included at my discretion as well as anything else on this show. You want me to be less tolerant? Just say the word." Can't speak for other religions but yes exclude islam. By the way the finale was amazing!
