Before I ask a question I just really wanted to say I really appreciate all the work you and all the other writers, voice actors, animators, etc. have been doing on the show Young Justice. I really loved W.I.T.C.H. when I was little, but by far young justice has been one of the best shows I've seen in years. My comic book knowledge is pretty limited, but I love this show and all the characters in it. Thank you for all the work you've done, the fans of your shows really appreciate it.
I was really sad when young justice went on break, but the new episode Misplaced did not disappoint despite the wait. I only have one question that I had not seen in the unanswered questions or archieves yet, but if I missed it I owe you a thousand apologies.
1. When Billy Batson first switched over to the adult dimension by becoming captain marvel, why did the plane disappear? It seemed slightly bizarre since all the other cars seemed to exist in both dimensions, so I was wondering if there was any specific reason for its disappearance?
Thank you for taking the time to answer all the questions on Ask Greg, and I cant wait to see young justice next week!
Greg responds...
1. The plane only disappeared from Billy/Cap's perspective. From the perspective of Adultworld, it didn't disappear; it was right where it always was, i.e. back in the hangar in Fawcett City.

What were the creative reasons that lead you to choose to write "Misplaced" personally/
Greg responds...
Oh, a few things.
1. The complexity of it made it challenging for me - which is something I look for - but also would have made it difficult for a freelancer to take on and nail the vision I had in my head. So in a way it saved time to write it myself.
Plus there were a number of specific aspects that interested me, including:
2. The "death" of Zatara and its effect on Zatanna.
3. The advancement of the Wally/Artemis relationship.
4. The fact that the kids on Kidworld were actually handling the crisis better than the adults on Adultworld.
5. The advancement of Billy's storyline.
6. The visual of Batman talking to Aqualad 'directly' despite the fact that the audience knows that Billy/Cap is being used as a go between. I like that arty stuff.
7. The mix of humor, action and tragedy is always fun to write.
8. The fact that Baa Baa Black Sheep, Twinkle Twinkle and ABC have the same tune.
9. I'm fascinated with mob mentalities and demagogs. So, for example, if you've read or seen Castaway's speech to the Quarrymen recruits in "Nightwatch/The Journey" you'll recognize a similar technique in Crusher's rants at STAR LABS here.
10. The timeline: telling a story. Starting over and telling it again from another perspective and then merging it.
11. The dual world idea.
12. And ultimately, not just because it was a classic Young Justice story to adapt, but because it's SUCH a perfect story for a show about teen heroes, I couldn't resist.
There's probably more, but a dozen reasons will do for now.

1. Young Justice is my fav show. Love it. :) 2. Are Marvin and Wendy siblings in this DCU? 3. IS IT TRUE THAT YOU VOICE SNAPPER?!?!?!?!?! 8D 4. Unpopular opinion:Besides the team (and JL), the last three are my fav characters. (Even though they've been in only like 3 1/2 eps or so. XD ) (Also, I love how you often answer "SPOILER REQUEST. NO COMMENT." You're one of my fav writers for TV shows. KEEP UP W/ THE GREAT WORK!!! ;D)
Greg responds...
1. Thanks.
2. No. Marvin White and Wendy Harris are not siblings.
3. Well, I voice the adult Snapper, i.e. Lucas Carr, the Happy Harbor High Civics teacher.
4. Thanks.

Dear Greg,
Congrats on the return of Young Justice! And damn, what a return! First off, thank you for adapting the first story of the original YJ! And it was damn good! Thank you, thank you. Now for other things I liked about it, I loved the design on the Riddler, very classy. Also, appearances by Blackbriar, Faust, Wizard, all cool. And Zatara, holy crap that was awesome! Now onto a few random questions;
1-One thing I enjoyed about the original World Without Grown-Ups was the teen ehroes dealing with kids who went crazy. Had you more time in the episode, would you have shown some clips of kids doing stupid stuff?
2-How did you guys approach the deisgn for Riddler? Cause again it was an awesome deisgn.
Greg responds...
1. We did, actually. There's a scene that we even animated where two tweens are joyriding in a speedboat and nearly get themselves killed, but Aqualad saves their bacon. (It's part of the sequence where Superboy saves the toddler from a crashed car and Miss Martian scares off the taggers. But it got cut for time.
2. I give full credit to Phil and Brandon on this. My main role was to walk in and fawn over it after it was done.

The split worlds was a nice idea but I was wondering just how did it work when they re-merged?
For example if a car was destroyed in one world and not in the other what would happen to the car when the worlds were merged again?
Had one of the adults worn the Helmet of Fate during the battle with the Sorcerors what would've happened after the worlds re-merged? Would there have been two Dr. Fate's or would one of the host's been chosen at random to keep the helmet suddenly?

Greg Weisman says:
"It means that whatever was ACTED upon takes precedent over what was not acted upon. So the Helmet of Fate stayed in Roanoke. The piece of the creature stayed with Riddler. And Amber's plane crashed."

We've just seen "Misplaced", and it was absolutely fantastic. I'll admit, I was worried about the "no adults theme", but I think it was a very original take on what some might call an overused trope. It was brilliant, original, and exciting, so kudos to you!
Another thing, congratulations on answering all your Ask Greg questions prior to March 3rd, and good luck with all the rest! Also, congratulations on Young Justice: Legacy! It's great to see Young Justice's success, you and the rest of the cast and crew definitely deserve it! It's a fantastic show.
On to a couple of questions;
1) The credits at the end of the episode appear to be incorrect, and are that of a future one. Would you be able to post the proper credits? I'd love to see who voiced Gordon, as well as Billy Batson.
2) The opening titles have been replaced with a single titlecard reading "Young Justice". Was this a decision made purely by yourself/crew, or did the change come around as a result of the DC Nation programming block?
Thanks very much for creating such a fantastic show, and I hope Cartoon Network has the sense to continue asking you for new seasons, because Young Justice - very honestly - is the best animated television series Cartoon Network has ever had. In fact, it's the only reason I watch CN! Thanks again. :)

Greg Weisman says:
"YOUNG JUSTICE Episode #19 ('Misplaced') Credits
So... aren't we off to a good start?!
Can a man simultaneously be sarcastic and not?
Anyway, I was mostly thrilled with the premiere of DC NATION, but obviously frustrated that CN attached the WRONG episode's credits. So without further ado:
YOUNG JUSTICE Episode #19 ('Misplaced') Credits:"

"It was shortened to buy time for the DC Nation shorts."

Greg responds...
Now that you've seen (hopefully) episode 125 "Usual Suspects", what do you think?
emily writes...
1. so zatanna is an official member of the team right? and if so, will she be given an ID number?
2. how would you describe robins feelings towards Zatanna?
Greg responds...
1. Yes and yes.
2. I think they're fairly self-evident.
