Hi. Someone else requested a video of Jason and Stephanie performing Wally and Artemis. I'd like to second that! They are soooo funny. I realize that it is too late to do this for the season 2 DVD, but do you think it would be possible to produce something like this as a special feature for a season 3 DVD? (Obviously, I am assuming there will be a third season.)
Greg responds...
They don't seem to be putting too many extras on DVDs these days, I'm afraid. In any case, it's not up to me.

Hi again. I'm excited for season 2 and can't wait to see the season finale (in English, I'll admit to spoiling it for myself). Sorry for repeats/dumb questions/clogging up the line wit mass questions (apology for past grievances). Mostly artist quality questions.
1. Do you have any say over the character designs while they're being made, or just the final cut?
2. How long does it take to design a character for a show, and do some people take longer to design than others based on things like gender or if they're a hero or villain?
3. Bourassa's designs for most of the JLA have been carried over into many projects, including Young Justice, so would a design for a villain be carried from another project?
4. I love the designs for everyone on Young Justice, particularly Klarion, the Brain and Queen Bee. The Brain looks so unique from any other version, Queen Bee's outfit looks perfect, and Klarion looks way better than in the DCAU. Hell, he looks kind of sexy to me.
We're both a little disturbed by that last one, aren't we? Keep doing the good work, send by boundless praise to every artist on the show, and I'll seek some clearly needed help.
Greg responds...
1. I have input at every stage.
2. This is more of a question for Phil. I'm sure he'll be thrilled that I'm linking his site: http://philbourassa.deviantart.com/?rnrd=7885
3. Nothing's been 'carried over'. Sometimes, Phil makes a similar choice from a previous project. But every character in YJ was designed for YJ.
4. Will do. Thanks.

Is it possible Young Justice could be continued in the comic book or OAVs if the show is ever cancelled?
Greg responds...
Anything's possible.

Appart from Wolf, does any member of the team have a pet?
Greg responds...
Superboy has two pets: Wolf and Sphere. Miss Martian has Beast Boy: does that count? ;)
BHZ writes...
1-Has Garth ever been to the Surface?
2- Do the Atlanteans know the Amazons, since they share some myths?
I guess half of season 2 will have aired by the time you get to this question,
I hope a season 3 has already been announced!
Greg responds...
1. As of when?
2. Aquaman knows Wonder Woman, at least.

1- Are you a fan of the x-men and if you are who´s your favourite character,writer and story arc?
Greg responds...
1. I'm a fan of the X-Men, but I haven't read anything recently - except Joss Whedon's run. I loved the original Lee/Kirby stuff, of course, and Roy Thomas' work with various artists, and I was really hooked on the Claremont/Byrne stuff.

So which companies have the greatest profit/influence, Lexcorp, Wayneindustries or what even Ollie runs.
Greg responds...
Ollie has no company - he's always just on this side of being broke - and he would tell you that means HE is winning.
Paul writes...
1) Will there be another pack of cards available at the July comic-on this year, this time with other characters on them like say Hawkman, John Stewart, Blue Beetle etc?
2) On the off chance that the new intro for Young Justice: Invasion is shortened for time by Cartooon Network like they're doing with the season 1intro at the moment, can you let us know the running time of the full Invasion intro please? Is it 20 seconds long?
3) In the time between Downtime and Auld Acquaintance, did Kaldur hang out with Garth at all?
Greg responds...
1. I wish, but no.
2. We never did a long version for Season Two.
3. Yes. (Have you picked up our companion comic?)
Anonymous writes...
1) Did Wonder Girl (Donna Troy) become available for use before "Usual Suspects" was written?
2) If so, why did you decide to make Rocket the 8th member instead?
3) Was Rocket mainly added for ethnic diversity? I know you'e fan of Rocket and Icon as well, but was diversity the main reason?
4a) Any particular reason why you felt that as many as 3 of the Team's members needed to have evil fathers (or an evil donor, in Luthor's case)?
4b) What made you opt to go the 'rough background/from a broken home' route with Artemis when you could have just done so with Aqualad (who is also descended from a criminal)? Doing so would have created more variety in the characters' backgrounds. Apologies if this question comes across as rude, I do like Artemis but I feel that her saga could have been covered by Aqualad (aside from the love interest for Wally bit lol.)
Greg responds...
1. I don't remember the exact date, but she became available AFTER we had already set the entire first season.
2. Rocket was ALWAYS planned to be the NINTH member from day one, which is why we seeded her in a handful of times in earlier episodes.
3. Diversity was a reason, but it was pretty far down on the list. As you mentioned, I always liked Rocket and liked what she could bring to the Team in those last couple episodes.
4a. Honestly, it just worked out that way. We actually de-evil'd Wally's dad back to his pre-Millennium good dad state.
4b. We weren't trying to 'COVER' beats like it's some kind of checklist. We wanted the AQUALAD you've seen on the show, the one with a solid parental childhood who had been one of the big four teen sidekicks. (The fact that we've since learned that he's Black Manta's son, doesn't change the guy you knew in Season One, who believed his father was Calvin Durham.) Likewise, we wanted the ARTEMIS you saw on the series, with the background we gave her. We didn't need and weren't looking to combine these elements into one character to service some pre-ordained needs in as few characters as possible. The whole process is WAY more organic than that.

Hello again, Mr. Weisman. My questions today relate to Ra's al Ghul and the League of Shadows.
1. Has Ra's ever been an assassin himself, or does he merely command them?
2. Did Ra's found the League of Shadows?
3. Whether Ra's founded the group or not, when was the League of Shadows founded?
4. When did Cheshire join the League of Shadows?
5. You've identified Talia's mother as a woman named Melisande. Was/is she also Ra's' wife?
Thanks so much for taking the time to answer my questions, and those of many others. It is much appreciated.
Greg responds...
1. He's killed people, if that's what you're asking.
2. Yes.
3. I haven't pinpointed a date, but it was a long time ago.
4. SPOILER REQUEST. NO COMMENT.
5. Yes.
