(Following the custom, I apologize in advance for any mistakes, since English is not my native language). Dear Mr. Weisman:
First of all, I’ll simply say that you are among the greatest and that I consider both Gargoyles and Young Justice to be masterpieces. I also think is very kind of you to have this space for fan questions, and even more so to continue running it despite how frustrating it sometimes seems to be. I for one can’t blame you for needing a break; actually, you seem to be far more patient than I would be.
Although I drop by regularly to see the latest answers, I have never asked a question (in fact, this is the first time I ever break my personal rule of never posting anything that resembles a comment, however remotely); when I get a new doubt and can’t find it in the archives, I rather wait until someone else has the same idea. However, your (again, completely understandable) need for vacations got me thinking that perhaps I’ve been taking this space for granted by not seizing the opportunity to ask (I don’t know if this make sense, but I can’t seem to phrase it better).
Apologies, I didn’t mean to write such a long introduction. My point is, I thank you for this site and I admire your patience. Now, these are my questions not about Youg Justice plot or universe:
1. The first isn’t really a question, rather a request of confirmation. If I understand correctly what you have already said about the healing power of stone-sleep, the limits of this power, besides the obvious (mutilation, etc.), are based on the seriousness of the injury but also in how much the damage has progressed by the time the gargoyle falls into sleep (it wouldn’t be the same to receive a blow that causes an internal bleeding five minutes after sunset than five minutes before sunrise). Did I get this right? B: If so, Which one was the determinant factor in the case of Hudson’s eye?
2. Perhaps a rather idle question, but: What is the texture of gargoyle skin? Mammal-like, reptile-like, stone-like?
3. On Spectacular Spiderman, I can only assume it was your own idea to match Shakespearean quotes with the events of the plot. How did you come up with that? B: Why did you choose specifically “A midsummer night’s dream” for the school play?
4. In Young Justice Who are in charge of the fictional languages and how did you find them?
5. You’ve said other DC projects you have worked on are “canon adjacent” to Earth-16. Does the same applies for Brandon Vietti?

Hello,
I hope this email finds you doing well.
My name is Zachary Freeman and by day I am the proud art teacher and comic book club facilitator here at Madison's Trust Elementary in Northern Virginia. By night I am a huge comic book fan myself.
In the weekly comic book club I meet with approximately thirty 5th grade students. They come to the club due to their common interest in all things comic books, cartoons, video games, science fiction and anime. This club rotates students approximately every 8 weeks so others may have a chance to become involved. The students spend the time learning the history of comic books from the 1930s to present where they are given a rundown of some of the books that they may find in their local comic book shop that Wednesday. In addition to that the students are learning how to create their own characters, develop their own stories with original characters or already created loved ones and create their own short books. They are taught concepts such as splash pages, the importance of cover design and lettering.
I am reaching out to you now to inquire if you would consider being involved with the Comic Book Club. In the past people and companies have become involved with us by making a donation of books, artwork or sending along a letter as ways to help encourage and provide new influential reading and reference material to these young creators.

THANK YOU so much for your time and consideration. Have a great day and I hope to speak with you again soon.
all the best,

So now that Superboy and Miss Martian are married, that means Superboy has a total of 11 sister-in-laws (which also includes M'ree M'orzz) and 17 brother-in-laws (which also includes M'comm M'orzz). Is this correct, or did I get the familial relationships wrong?

Mr. Weisman,

I found out on the YJ Wiki that the Earth-16 version of Kara Zor-El is 14 years old, physiologically. Was your decision to make Kara this young because out of all the surviving members of the House of El, she would most likely form a familial sibling-like bond with Kon-El (who is, and still remains, physiologically 16 years old); so that she would have someone in her family close to her age to confide in about how she feels about surviving the destruction of Krypton and other things?

True OR False?

1. Jason Todd became a member of the Team because Batman eventually realized that Jason's crime-fighting tactics were particularly brutal, and Batman had hoped that Jason working with the Team would help him reduce his use of violent tactics.

2. Up until the Earth-16 version of the events of "Green Lantern: The Animated Series," Carol Ferris was completely unaware that Hal Jordan was Green Lantern.

3. After the events of Earth-16 version of "Green Lantern: The Animated Series," Carol Ferris is currently in possession of a Star Sapphire power ring and is currently the only human member of the Star Sapphires.

4. The Earth-16 version of the "Green Lantern: The Animated Series" character Aya (or at least, a copy of her program with no memory of her origins) is currently in the "Justice League Action" universe; as seen in episode 48 of that show).

6. Granny Goodness has been secretly keeping an eye on Mary Bromfield ever since Mary stopped becoming Sergeant Marvel in 2015; hence why she manipulated Mary into succumbing to her lust for power in the Season 4 mid-season post-credits scene.

7. Due to Mary Bromfield succumbing to her lust for power (as a result of her fallout with her mentor, Zatanna, and the secret manipulations of Granny Goodness), everyone on Earth likely assumes that she has been missing since May 15, 2020; when in truth, she has been training on Apokolips to become a member of the Furies during the five-month interval.

8. Darkseid's Omega Beams cannot kill Vandal Savage.

9. Jason Todd likely had feelings for Barbara Gordon, but he was never able to fully explore those feelings due to his tragic death at the hands of the Joker.

10. Kara Zor-El joining the Furies is NOT truly of her own free will, but as a result of suffering from Zone-Sickness from being trapped in the Phantom Zone for 42 years; as such, it can be assumed that her original personality is that of a kind-hearted individual who loves her family dearly.

Anthony Apikyan writes...

Why is the Emir allowed to be peace regarding what he has lost yet Demona and MacBeth are denied? Shouldn’t the clan have allowed them both to die when they were in Paris? It seems your show is very inconsistent regarding the morals and lessons you try to invoke for the viewer.

Anthony Apikyan writes...

Did you ever consider giving Demona and Macbeth an end to their bondage by making them be in a situation where say, the hunters kidnap Angela, the clan and Macbeth, and give her an ultimatum: kill MacBeth and save Angela or let her and everyone else in the clan die, than be forced to watch as every other gargoyle in the world meets their wrath. In which case, she will surrender and be forced to kill MacBeth, sparing Angela and putting an end to both of their suffering.

Jonny Kandell writes...

Huge fan of your work and writings. My Q: was Angela ever meant to fall in love? I felt bad that the boys were pining over here like a piece of pizza. Also, would Goliath live for hundreds of years? Whats his lifespan?

In the original unaltered timeline in the 31st century (before Lor-Zod used the Time Sphere), what ultimately happened to Kara Zor-El? Was she released from the Phantom Zone along with the prisoners, or did she remained trapped in there?

If "Young Justice" returns for future seasons, will there be costume redesigns for the characters based on what is depicted in Infinite Frontier and Dawn of DC? Will there also be costume redesigns for the characters based on what is depicted in Milestone Returns; which is Earth-93 of the current DC Comics Multiverse?

Hey Greg,

I know for the YJ series, there have been several writers including Brandon and yourself for each of the episodes. I also know that you and Brandon plan out an outline for how each episode should be written.

1. How do you guys decide which writer creates the script for each episode? (e.g. coin flip, someone volunteers, producers decide)

2. When you pick an episode to write, is it for the reason to specifically to advance a plot point that will be shown later in the season? Or are there other reasons too?

3. You've also voiced YJ characters (Ultra-Humanite, Lucas Carr) in episodes written by other writers. Do the writers ask you to voice act or is it already decided you would participate in the episode?

1) you have said before that Klarion is ageless but you’ve said yourself he is physically 9? Which doesn’t make sense taking in comparison other 9 year olds in the series etc since in the first season he seems to look like a teen and always looks like that. I know it’s not exactly your expertise but in justice league action, when he turns the main characters into ten year olds and then reveals himself, he is about two times their size. Im not talking comics cuz it varies from one to another but he never looks the same in those.

Hello!

A couple questions regarding Margot Yale in the televised version of The Journey.

1. Was is planned for Marina Sirtis to be voicing her in the episode at all or was she unavailable early on?

2. A review I read before on the episode got me curious. Was it more coincidence that you had a debate between Margot and Macbeth?

Or was it based on the fact that she and Demona had the same voice actress. Kind of a Demona VS Macbeth in a different way?

Liz writes...

When Broadway met Antoinette Dracon, I noticed something kind of interesting. He is immediately hostile and even downright rude, and some might say he had good reason given his history with her brother. On the other hand, he judged her as soon as he heard the name 'Dracon'. Guilt by association. He dismissed her, and would have left if she hadn't mentioned the city being in danger.

Broadway was displaying PREJUDICE here. We, the audience, don't know much more about her than he does, but as Dracons go she doesn't seem so bad. She was born into a crime family, and likely isn't a saint, but I think he really jumped the gun here, if you'll pardon the pun.

I think a certain degree of skepticism is understandable and even smart, but so is hearing her out and deciding on a course of action, and he only listened after she pleaded with him. Broadway was my favorite character when I was a kid watching the show in the 90's, but his reaction to this particular Dracon had me thinking that Goliath probably did pick the right member of the trio to be his Second.

I still love him, don't get me wrong! But I thought this was a neat comparison, him judging Antoinette the way humans judge his species: with mistrust and hostility. My question is, was that comparison deliberate?
