Hi Greg! Hope your day is going well, and that you're working on the Season 5 I'm praying gets greenlit. But even if TPTB haven't yet, I still can't thank you, Brandon, and the whole team enough for the incredible four seasons you've given us. PHANTOMS has been a total blast and I'm ecstatic that the tie-in comics are returning in June with TARGETS (on my birthday no less!). And rest assured, if someone was silly enough to make the mistake of NOT greenlighting Season 5 by the time you're getting to this question, the fandom is working hard to fix that mistake.

Now, for my question, I'm following up on something that I've touched on a couple of times before but that still isn't clear to me. Hopefully, me asking again won't be too annoying considering the 1000-plus questions you've been gracious enough to answer since I last inquired.

Here's what you've told us: Katana began her heroic career in Japan in 2013. She joined the Justice League around December 2017. You've also told us that Hardware began his heroic career in 2015. He joined the Justice League around December 2017. In addition, you confirmed that Batman's Z-designations were based on the order in which the heroes joined the Justice League.

However, when you unveiled the Z-designations, Hardware was Z-04 and Katana was Z-05, despite the latter preceding the former in terms of heroic debut. Based on your previous explanations of how the heroes' designations get decided, it's based on when they debuted as heroes. So Katana being after Hardware would suggest she debuted AFTER him, despite what you've previously confirmed.

So, my question: was Katana's designation assignment based on when she debuted in America? Is any of the information I've recounted above incorrect? Or is there some flaw in my logic I'm not seeing?

I understand that this question could seemingly touch upon unrevealed JL designations, but I promise that's not what I'm after. You've already revealed that Katana and Hardware joined the League the same month, so my question is really just trying to hit on the logic of the heroic debuts than the designations themselves.

Thanks as always for your time and incredible creativity with this world. It has kept me invested for about a decade now. I hope you have a wonderful day.

Kudos first of all for the amazing wealth of characters we've been introduced to since "Outsiders". Any one of these main characters like Dolphin (Delphise), Halo, Windfall, Orphan, Terra (Tara), etc., seems like they could build a spin-off mini-series (3-4 episodes) all their own. I'm aware of an Aqualad series already in the pipes, but do you want to keep the Young Justice series alive in the way I have described? Possibly a version called "Young Justice: New Blood", or something, that follows forward with the "Phantoms" concept, where several mini-series are sown together?

Thanks really for the inspiration you've been thus far. I was a huge, HUGE fan of "Gargoyles" from the very beginning, and was sad to see the series fade. You've helped me write quite a lot of fan-fiction. =) Thanks for your reply.

Hi, Greg! Hope you're doing well. My questions this time are about Red Tornado.

1. Was he inducted to the Justice Society the same year he was born (ie, 1948)?
2. You've revealed previously that he was deactivated for a long time between his tenure with the JSA and his induction to the Justice League. What year was he deactivated?
3. What year was he reactivated?
4. Gonna toe the spoiler line, but... who reactivated RT?

Thanks for your time.

Hi Greg
I m loving this season so much! I think this might be my favorite even if it's not over yet.

My questions deals with Mary and magic users in general
1. When Mary used the stamina of atlas spell in episode 11, did it work? She didn't tap into the earth ley lines or absorb any kind of power and there was no visual effect when she said it.

2. What are Khalid powers? Are they nature based?

3. Does Mary have to continuously tap into the earth ley lines/absorb power for every spell?

4. Can Zatanna cast more than one spell at once? For example, can she say "etativel" and then "Dleihs" and she'll be levitating in the air with a shield around her.

5. My last question does have anything to do with magic but I just wanted to know in episode 9 was that Mary, Khalid, and Traci first time training together?

Thank you for taking the time to answer my questions. I hope what I'm asking is clear.

Hello Mr. Weisman. I have a few questions about the latest episode of Young Justice Season 4.

1. Why did you choose Ben Diskin to play Orion in Young Justice? (I was expecting someone new)
2. Who is Lor-Zod? (I’m very unfamiliar with this new character)

Mr. Weisman,

#1. When Ra's al Ghul was a hero, what was he called?

#2. Did Ra's al Ghul go by other names throughout his long life; much like Vandal Savage did? If so, what are some examples of famous names that he used throughout history?

#3. How many times had Ra's al Ghul been married in his long life? Other than Talia, did he had any other children (and possibly grandchildren) from his other marriages?

#4. How and when did Ra's al Ghul learned about and discovered the Lazarus Pits?

#5. Since his real name is presumably lost to history (or perhaps he threw it away to cut off all ties to his past), how exactly did Ra's al Ghul come to gain his current name?

When Dinah Lance developed her sonic scream in first grade...

#1. Did she almost caused her teacher's and classmates' ears to bleed; in addition to nearly deafening them.

#2. How did her parents react to this incident and how did they help her deal with the guilt of her own actions?

After watching the first episode of Raquel's arc, I am eagerly awaiting the rest of her arc! It's looking to be another great one! In this episode, we officially find out that Amistad is autistic (many of us knew beforehand, from that interview with Denise Boutte months prior), marking another time that Young Justice has made history in terms of representation in superhero media. It's honestly so exciting the amount of doors you guys are opening!

I do want to know, though. Was Amistad being autistic all part of the original plan back in Season One, or was it something you and Brandon decided on when in development of Outsiders and then Phantoms?

While I am more than certain Violet coming out as non-binary and La'gaan being in a polyamorous relationship is the result of Young Justice moving to DC Universe and then HBO Max, where censorship is (to a point) non-existent when compared to Cartoon Network, I can't say the same for Amistad's autism. While I assume the subject of neurodivergence wasn't considered AS taboo a subject back then, I am curious if (assuming this was all planned from the start) you guys making him openly autistic (rather than hinting at it like you would with a character's sexuality back then, if that makes sense) would have been a problem for the network.

Either way, though, I am beyond happy with what's been represented so far this season. Kudos!

Who are the two characters on the screen blocked by Black Lightning and Superman's heads during the end credits of Beyond the Grip of the Gods?

Mr. Weisman,

I can't believe it! General Zod (Dru-Zod) and Lor-Zod?! The hidden message for Season 4 makes sense now; it is "INVITATION TO KNEEL BEFORE ZOD." Also, now that it is clear that Lor-Zod's ethnicity is the Kryptonian equivalent of an African-American human male in the Earth-16 universe, I suspect this also applies to General Zod as well and, as such, I suspect this change from the comics was inspired by the short-lived Syfy TV series, "Krypton" and that show's depiction of the House of Zod.

When was Amistad diagnosed with autism?

Mark writes...

In Beyond the Grip of the Gods!, Ma'alefa'ak takes on the form of someone named Graggin. Graggin was a minor character in the comics, so on Earth-16 (or Apokolips-16) is there a real Graggin Ma'alefa'ak was impersonating, or is it just an identity he made up?

Hi Greg. I had a question about Rocket and Amistad. Did you have someone who is knowledgeable when it comes to Autism help you write Amistads character surrounding his Autism? Could you possibly explain the process in which you guys went about the writing for his character and how Rocket was handling it as well?

Dear Mr Weisman 1. How old is Lor zod and how long have He and Dark side known each other? 2. How old is Forager (female version not the one from the outsiders) 3. How old is General Zod and why didn't he tell Superboy to ''Kneel before Zod'' when they first meet? 4 How are All widow and light ray? ps I love both Nika flutterman's Preformance as the female Forager and the cute Moutain hive larvas

1. Why are the Red Martians not discriminated against like the White Martians are, since they are even less of them than the White, wouldn't the Greens just think they are better than all others? And if the Reds were conquerors wouldn't the Greens be bitter against this or is there some political, economic, religious or some other reason that they are not?

2. What advantages did the Red Martians have over the other more numerous Martians? Was it divide and conquer tactics, better use of Martian powers, more sorcerers than the others all of the above and/or something else?

3. And why are the White Martians discriminated against in general on Mars? Was it because of past wars, they had resources the other martians wanted and cruelty was the justification for it or is it something else?
