Hello. I am the person who sent the question about you using MPAC and GLAAD to shield yourself from criticism and I see you responded in a ramble. Um..wow lol what a response.

You mistakenly thought I was only referring to that one tweet and threw a huge tantrum that I mischaracterized what you said and disrespected the Muslims who worked on the show, when you in fact mischaracterized what I was trying to say.

First of all, I was not referring to the one tweet only. I was mostly referring to how you responded to criticism of Halo. You used the fact that MPAC likes her to dismiss a lot of valid criticism about the character. And I have seen several of your answers on here when someone is critical of an LGBT character where you say GLAAD signed off on it so the criticism the person is bringing up “isnt a monolith”. You can search on here and find those yourself. That’s why I mentioned GLAAD, why would I randomly throw them under the bus as you suggested? Maybe you shouldve taken a moment to think about that and consider I wasn’t talking only about that tweet instead of flipping out while you were emotional.

THAT type of response is what I take issue with, not the characters you have created. In fact, I disagree with the tweet about not making a Muslim practice magic, I think that is more than fine. But not everyone agrees with me, there are some who believe it is haram and will take offense. Because as you say, we are not a monolith and it will be impossible to please everyone.

I just dont think you should make a habit of responding to these types of things using these institutions as a shield. And when I say that they can be out of touch…its just a simple truth that an institution cannot represent an entire demographic as a whole…I don’t know why you interpreted that as me disrespecting them. These institutions are based in America, which limits their scope, theyre adults, they’re naturally going to be out of touch with the youth, and they work in Hollywood, theyre not going to see the perspective of the working class. Not that their opinions aren’t valuable, but if you’ve got more than one fan reaching out to you on social media about something, you should value their perspective equally as much.

And as for your lovely sarcastic response asking if you should take a poll, actually lots of creators will pose general questions about representation on Twitter to gauge the response. It’s not unheard of. Or you can just read what people are saying and take it in without responding. Clearly you were being hyperbolic to make it seem like I was demanding something ridiculous. Real mature.

Finally, I LITERALLY NEVER SAID you can’t create diverse characters. Do you see me say that anywhere? Where did you get that? All I said was I don’t like how you were seemingly using these institutions to dismiss criticism and invalidate other people’s opinions. All I said was I think you should stop responding in that way and just accept not everyone will like what youre doing.

But hey, thanks for willfully misinterpreting everything I said, responding in pure anger, and getting defensive. white male fragility at its finest.

Hey Greg - you have repeatedly said you do not think giving Dick tech skills was taking away from tim because you think a modern version of the character would have those skills. i would like to offer a counter argument: dick does exist already as a character in modern comics as nightwing, and while he does have tech skills, he is consistently shown not to enjoy it or be the best in the batfam at it. he often turns to barbara or tim when something requires a lot of tech work. also tim is supposed to be the Robin most skilled in this area, that and detective and strategy skills is what sets him apart from the others who are more naturally skilled in the physical things. but in the show you have seemingly made dicks tech skills better or equal to tim. therefore i do think giving dick tech skills was taking from tim and did a real disservice to the character once he came around - tim has nothing unique to bring to the table in the show

I thought I understood something but I just read an article that is making me doubt myself.

The writer describes Zatanna as more ruthless than Batman because she took on apprentices with sole aim of using them to free her dad from Nabu without ever caring about them at all. I thought this reading was extremely harsh and wrong.

My understanding is that Zatanna's plan to save Zatara did not occur to her until "Undo!" So, it's not as though all those years ago Zatanna made Thirteen her apprentice with the intention that she could someday be used as a pawn to free Zatara from being Dr. Fate.

Do I have that right?

I havent been able to get into young justice since it returned which was disappointing since I was a huge fan of the first two seasons, I keep trying but I was so confused why the show wasnt about the team anymore, then I recently saw you say that the show was never about the team itself, its about the original team as individuals and thats why the team isnt a focus anymore. Im honestly baffled by that…I thought the show was called Young Justice because it focused on the young heroes, aka the team. I think it also kept the show more organized when that was the focus. The only arc I have enjoyed in the latest season was Artemis, and that just so happened to be the only one that featured the team, it was the only time since it came back that it reminded me of why I wanted this show back. I think this decision was a creative misstep and I know I am not the only one who feels that way. Its your show but sadly its not the show I fell in love with anymore.

Why was Black Lightning a lead in season 3? I love the guy but it made no sense in the context of the show. He was never a young hero or on the team with the others. The only reason I can think of is that you wanted to get brownie points for making a Black character made that grandstanding speech to the rest of the heroes. It would’ve been nice if you developed Virgil instead.

Also aside from the deep cover mission, did they talk about anything else besides that? Did they talk more about their relationship? Did they share any intimate moments or spend the night together?

Hi Greg! I apologize for how long this is!

I love young justice, but I kinda wish you kept Dick as a single guy who just liked women and had a will they won’t they thing with Zatanna and just kept it to that. Because ever since you put Dick and Babs together. It has caused quite the shipping war between the two fandoms.

While I do prefer Dick/Zatanna, I personally never really had opinions
with Dick/Babs. My only problem I had about them, was really your comments about why they weren’t together until xyz and explaining their relationship. One was the notion that Dick only loves Babs and would marry her in an instant regardless. I feel that’s a really bad portrayal of love, if you’re in love with someone else you shouldn’t be dating other people! It’s really not fair and kinda undermines the development he had with Zatanna. For me, it takes me out if investing much time in how Dick reacts with other characters if it’s just gonna be thrown to the side for another relationship. It’s just not really fair to the characters involved and instead they should have been given other life interests that will actually mean something and not be used as a temporary thing or stepping stone.

The second was that Babs was waiting for Dick to mature to be with him. Babs shouldn’t imply that needs Dick to change himself to be with her. He doesn’t need to grow up for her, he needs to for up for himself and hopefully he will realize that he is who he is and the person who will marry him will have to accept that. I get it that she wants Dick to mature, but personally, I don’t think Dick is all that immature and in fact, acts very much like a normal young man haha if he isn’t ready to settle that’s fine, but implying that he needed to grow up and Babs will wait for him to marry him, it’s not a good set up.

I could be misinterpreting you, and perhaps you never intended for it actually be portrayed that way, but that’s how it came off to me personally. I really hope I didn’t come off mean or ranty, I just felt your comments on the couple maybe could have used more context.,

I kinda just miss Dick with no strings attached. Still kinda trying to figure out who he is. A little flirty with everyone because he loves women clearly. No past loves or pining for anyone. Just one man on a journey you know? Looking forward to the future and leaving the past where it belongs. Hanging out with his friends and fighting crime. I think it’d be great to see Dick move on from both Zatanna and Babs and just eventually down the line find his true love that he never thought in a million years he would meet! I just wanna see Dick grow and evolve for himself inspired by himself.

I hope you get more seasons and love your work so far!

I've gotta say Garfield sure misses his deceased loved ones that he's lost (Including Superboy/Conner Kent) just as much as Makoto Naegi (Danganronpa series) misses his friends who became victims in the Killing School Life that happened in Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc (video game) and it's anime adaptation (Danganronpa: The Animation).
He (Makoto) even suffers from "Survivor's Guilt" as shown in the brainwashing scene of Danganronpa 3 - Future Arc Episode 11 underscores just how much Makoto regrets being unable to save those who died in that Killing Game including his former love interest Sayaka Maizono.
But still what's happening to Garfield has never happened to Makoto not even after he escaped the Killing School Life along with 5 of his other friends.

Hi there!

First things first, I wanted to say how pleased and surprised I was to see Zatara's faith not only not avoided but leaned into in the episode "Teg Ydear!"

As a Christian, it's become quite rare to see Christianity portrayed even neutrally in popular media. That scene literally brought tears.

My question are these:

1) Why was the Lord's Prayer shortened to omit "For thine is the kingdom, the power, and the glory, forever"?

2) I've heard it said that a Muslim cultural expert was consulted to ensure Khalid's faith was accurately and sensitively portrayed. Was a similar expert consulted for the representations of Catholocism in this episode and the next?

I want to stress that that scene was beautiful and was and is greatly appreciated. Thank you for not shying away from it.

Hi Greg! Long time forum lurker first time question asker. I won’t ask about any thing about what you have or don’t have planned for Jason.

Since the introduction of Jason’s training under ancient mystical warrior monks I’ve always thought it was an amazing way to make him stand out on his own from the other robins.
1)As a professional in the industry what are your thoughts on that part of his backstory?
2)Do you believe it was a good way to add more layers to his character or wasn’t and the robins should all be street level characters?
Thank you for your time and thank you for creating one of my favorite shows of all time!

Hey there Greg I have some questions about the light this time.

We do know being a member gives you a lot of status in the villain/under world side of things, but what happened to members that get replaced?

Say OceanMaster and Blackmanta were once respected but now they killed the former, and the light is indifferent With Blackmanta being under Amanda Waller’s control.

1.-Does that mean that once members get expelled they lose all worth the light? And I don’t mean “worth” as in how they also use the heroes as tool , but how say a retired Justice or president still gates benefits and respect.

2.- Why was Rhas Al gul not “disgraced” after abandoning the light
3.- We know Rhas Al gul retired from the light, and as head of the “league of shadows”. But are the shadows still loyal to him as the even if i’s unofficially?

Thank you, Greg.

In the comics, Troia is a name that Donna Troy takes after she learns of her connection to the Titans of Myth. Since Brandon Vietti and yourself have gone with the "Troia" version of the character for Earth-16, this implies that Earth-16 Troia has an origin that involves the Titans of Myth. Troia's look in Young Justice certainly evokes the "Titans of Myth" origin for her character (with some differences in YJ, of course), and in that version of her origin, the Titans of Myth provided her with an array of mystical gifts. Does she possess these gifts in Young Justice (or did she have them during the five-year gap between seasons 1 and 2, at least)?

I'm not sure how guarded you are about Troia's origin and details surrounding it... I'll take the risk that this question might be deleted by the mods. Perhaps you can give at least a hint in answer, please, if you feel that that's appropriate.
