Why Greg you make choice Garfield would remain single as an adult and not date another woman after his breakup with Queen Perdita for the rest of his life just as the dc comic book verson of adult Garfield remain single for the rest of his life after Tara dies in the comic?

I have two question about the ending of Young Justice: Phantom's finale:

1) Are Robin and Spoiler now dating?
2) Are Halo and Harper Row now dating?

I have to ask about Nightwing surviving the season 4 finale of Young Justice , because frankly I just find it all so hard to believe?

It just felt so unrealistic; first by willingly cutting himself to fake his death injury (as if anyone wouldn’t at least bleed after being thrown into a statue and then have the thing fall on top of you), and then slowing down his own heartbeat to a stop. No one can slow their heartbeat down to a full-stop, and it’s not as if someone with super-hearing couldn’t tell whether someone was really dead.

I'm sorry, but even now I'm still expecting Nightwing to turn around and suddenly reveal that he's either a ghost, an imposter or some other big shocker.

I was surprised at the ending, too. When they introduced Darkseid’s new furies, I was expecting them to be the Legionaires, as I thought Brainiac was an imposter who was sent to get them. Personally, I thought they should be killed, as it makes the future more interesting when you don’t know what’s coming. Granted, we were told the future was only about 99.84% corrected, so we don’t know what’s changed, but we know it must be good because of Brainiac’s presence…etc.

Why did you Greg decide as part of the young justice phantoms Garfield and Perdita would not resume their relationship in episode 26 of young justice phantoms?

Rex writes...

In episode 26 of young justice season 4 Why did Queen Perdita choose to move on from Garfield and not give Garfield a second chance with her because she was knew that Garfield was under the influence of drugs when he said those hurtful words to her that broke her heart in episode 13 of season 4 of young justice?

Mr. Weisman,

I have to be honest with you here; you gave me quite a scare in regards to Nightwing's head injury. The reason I say this is because I was afraid that Nightwing was going to end up becoming amnesiac and become Ric Grayson; which happened in the comics. Let me say now that I am one of (presumably) many people who hated the whole Ric Grayson storyline in the comics because he went through all kinds of hell before he finally got his memory back. When it was revealed that he faked his own head injury and still retained his memory in the Season 4 finale, I was relieved and happy that he was all right. As such, I wanted to thank you so much for NOT turning Dick Grayson into Ric Grayson.

Mr. Weisman,

Here is my second set of interview-style questions centering around Mary Bromfield after seeing the Season 4 post-credits scene. Just like with the previous set of questions for Kara Zor-El, please answer them as detailed as possible.

#1. Let’s start off with the opening question: What was the idea of having Mary Bromfield have a power addiction problem in Season 4? I clearly don’t remember this ever happening in the comics; unless I overlooked some specific reading material?

#2. Anyone who has read “Final Crisis” would have likely/easily figured out Mary’s turn to villainy based on what happened in the post-credits scene in the mid-season 4 finale. Her costume while as a member of the Female Furies is based somewhat on her Black Mary appearance from the comics. What was the decision behind these changes; in comparison to what we know from the comics (in which her attire was more Apokoliptian and also having pink hair during the events of “Final Crisis”)?

#3. In a post-credits scene for one of the Season 4 episodes (“Beyond the Grip of the Gods!”), Mary was being considered as a potential candidate for the Justice League Reserves. However, the problem here is that none of the heroes at this point in time knows that she is now a villain. As such, do you believe that she might just play along and join the Justice League Reserves and then surprise everyone with a massive heart-breaking betrayal later, or do you believe that Mary will likely NOT be the type of person who would willingly play a game of deception and would instead prefer getting straight to the point and go full-on villain right from the start? Which scenario, in your honest opinion, seems more plausible?

#4. As we both know, Mary’s turn to villainy is essentially Zatanna’s fault. As such, in your honest opinion, what can we potentially expect from everyone’s reactions once the truth eventually comes out; especially in regards to the lengths that Zatanna went through in order to get her father back (since, considering what I’ve read on the internet, this makes Zatanna more manipulative than Batman)? Furthermore, Mary’s turn to villainy will undoubtedly affect Billy Baston, who considers Mary to be one of his best friends and she is also his sister. As such, once Billy eventually learns the truth about Mary, how badly do you think this will damage their relationship; even if he somehow gets personally involved and manages to save her at some point in Season 5 (since Freddy Freeman DID save Mary during “Final Crisis” in the comics)?

#5. Going into Season 5, is it safe to correctly assume that part of Mary’s story arc may likely/potentially involve her attempting to get revenge on Zatanna for being excluded from the Doctor Fate rotation plan? Would Mary even potentially dare to go as far as willing to kill Zatanna; assuming her hatred towards her former mentor really goes deep? Or perhaps, would Mary even be willing to go as far as to potentially kill Zatanna’s father; just to get back at Zatanna for her “betrayal” towards her and to make Zatanna suffer both emotionally and psychologically?

#6. By making Kara and Mary become the members of the Female Furies, this is how I interpret the possible situation concerning both of them going into Season 5: Mary started off as a hero, but has now become a villain, and the possibility of her redemption will seem low (depending on her actions in Season 5). Kara starts off as a villain, but she will probably find redemption, and will ultimately become a hero. Is my interpretation of the situation concerning Kara and Mary correct? Did you set Up Kara and Mary in such a position so that these two will ultimately go down polar opposite paths over the course of Season 5?

Mr. Weisman,

In light of the post-credits scene in the Season 4 finale, I am giving you a set of interview-style questions centering around Kara Zor-El. Please answer them as detailed as possible.

#1. Let’s start off with the opening question: How does it feel to FINALLY be able to introduce Kara Zor-El into the Earth-16 universe?

#2. You’ve introduced Kara Zor-El in a unique twist; her being a member of the Female Furies alongside Mary Bromfield. Granted, anyone who’ve read the “Supergirl” story arc from the “Superman/Batman”comics (issues #8-13) or have watched the “Superman/Batman: Apocalypse” animated movie would obviously expect that this move was going to happen one way or another. Nevertheless, what ultimately made you decide that this would be the best way to introduce Kara Zor-El; as opposed to what we’ve already seen at least twice in the comics (in which her pod arrives and crash-lands on Earth)?

#3. I going to make a MASSIVE assumption on my part here and will guess that Kara’s presence will have a MAJOR impact on her fellow surviving House of El members on Earth; this being Kal-El (her first cousin), Kon-El (her “half-cousin”), and Jonny Kent (her first cousin once removed). What kind of interactions should we expect her to have with all three members of her family? And by interactions, I mean when she initially meets them (presumably while still a member of the Female Furies), AND later spending time with them to get to know them better (presumably after she switches sides and joins the heroes)?

#4. Aside from her family members, are there any specific interactions you are looking forward to see happen between Kara Zor-El and members of the Team and the Outsiders; considering these are people who would be around her age?

#5. In terms of the direction Kara’s potential story arc will likely go for Season 5; is it safe to correctly assume that Kara Zor-El is NOT meant to be a villain for the entirety of that season? Also, considering what we know from the “Supergirl” story arc from the “Superman/Batman” comics and the “Superman/Batman: Apocalypse” animated movie, can we expect that either Kal-El or Kon-El will likely have to risk their own lives in order to save Kara?

#6. A major concern I have going into Season 5 is that Kara would be the third person in the House of El who “breaks bad”; this previously being Kal-El (during the end of Season 1; due to being brainwashed by Starro-tech) and Kon-El (during the second half of Season 4; due to Phantom Zone Sickness). At this point in time, given what Kon-El nearly did in the final two episodes of Season 4 (almost killing Kal-El before he changed his mind, and briefly fighting his friends before his mind was fixed), we still don’t know if there will be any major consequences coming out from his actions; considering they were publicly broadcasted (and that begs the question as to whether there will be people who will be afraid of Superboy?). As such, how worried should we be that Kara Zor-El might end up publicly disgracing the name/reputation of the House of El due to her being a member of the Female Furies?

#7. There is also the matter of Kara’s Supergirl costume; as you are aware, there are many versions of them (like the one from the comics, the Smallville Season 11 costume, the two Arrowverse Supergirl costumes, the DCEU Supergirl costume, etc.). As such, do you already have a specific version in mind for when Kara finally becomes Supergirl in the Earth-16 universe, or are you still deciding at this point in time?
