Hello Mr. Weisman,

It's me once again. I've got a new set of questions that came up on my mind today.

1. After the Justice League was formed in 2003, what circumstances led the other nine members to join during the following seven years? I know you might not like to get into big details (or perhaps, there are details that you might have already given), but I’m interested to know because the circumstances were probably different for each member. Also, why were these particular heroes made official Justice League members and not anyone else? Hopefully, there should be an in-universe explanation for this.

2. You have mentioned that both Vandal Savage and Ra’s al Ghul were both heroes at one point in their lives, although I don’t what they did to be recognized as such. If that were true, then what exactly happened to make them walk away from that and become the villains that we, the fans, know in the present?

3. According to a response to someone’s posting, Hawkman and Hawkwoman’s names are Katar Hol and Shayera Thal respectively. Now assuming they reincarnate every time they die on Earth-16, shouldn’t their names be Carter Hall and Shiera Sanders Hall respectively in the present day or is there an in-universe explanation for the name change? Honestly, I think I might be getting myself confused here…

4. I’ve come to understand that the theme of Season One of Young Justice is about secrets and lies. I’ve also read the preview summaries of all the episodes that appear on the month of March. Based on everything I’ve read, am I correct to assume that The Team must overcome ALL secrets and lies they are keeping from each other in order to become stronger (both individually and as a team) and face whatever comes their way in the Season One Finale and in Season Two? You probably might not answer this question, but in my opinion, that is what I believe. What do you think about it?

5. Not including the legal reasons (or whatever reason you may have), is there an Earth-16 in-universe explanation as to why certain DC characters/teams will not/have not appeared on the show/comic? For example, is the in-universe reason a team such as Justice League International has not been established on Earth-16 because the original Justice League is a recent superhero team (lasting for seven years and still going), and therefore the United Nations would have no need for the establishment of the JLI because the circumstances normally involved in its establishment have not yet occurred?

Thanks for taking the time to read my questions. As always,keep up the good work, man!

Were the Wonder Twins in the list of teenage heroes you considered for the show?

Three questions representative of the split and merging of worlds in "Misplaced":

Where was Wolf? Was he on the world of adults, the world of kids, both, or neither?

When the worlds merged again, what happened to the airplane? Did it end up crashed in the ocean because it lost its pilot mid-flight, or is it still safely parked at the airport because it never took off?

If Zatarra had donned the Helm of Fate while the worlds were still split (and while Zatanna was wearing the helm in the world without grown-ups), would Nabu have ended up possessing both of them? And what would have happened when the worlds merged again?

Hi,just wanted to ask you a few questions about Wonder Woman.

1)When did she leave Themyscira?
2)When did she become Wonder Woman and start fighting crime?
3)Does she have a homebase city, and if she does, what city is it?

How long has Captain Marvel been a hero in the YJ universe?

I watched "Misplaced" yesterday morning and let me just say that it was simply awesome. I truly love Young Justice. Now, I have two questions about this episode:

1. When I saw Teekl transform into that huge saber-teeth behemoth, I expected Wolf to come down and attack. Seeing only Superboy face off with the cat didn't disappoint me, but it did leave me wondering about Wolf's wherabouts. Where was he and why didn't Conner bring him along?

2. So in one scene, Nabu seems to be losing his stability because the helmet has been split, and we know that since the item in question was shown to be present in both worlds. So just out of curiosity, what would have happened if someone in the adult's dimension had worn it and kept it on AFTER the two worlds merged back while Zatanna did the same?

Hi Greg,
I was wondering how much can be shared between your show and the WB DC direct to videos. For instance, as the movies "Justice League: Crisis on Two Earths" and "Justice League: Doom" share an executive producer and lead character designer with Young Justice, could you theoretically utilize character designs from those two movies? I imagine that even if you could, you would prefer to tailor unique versions for the show; but I'm curious what can be reused.

Hi Greg.

A couple of questions about Misplaced:
Nabu desired Zatanna as a host because of her youth and magical ability.
Zatara persuaded Nabu to take him instead with his comment that he was at his peak of ability. Would Nabu's ideal host be someone both young and powerful? As a Lord of Order, would a potential host's virtue or goodness make a difference in his decision? Do youth and virtue/goodness amplify Fate's power?

With Captain Marvel, I liked your emphasis on Billy and his qualities of intelligence, determination, bravery, and loyalty. Cap is a powerhouse, but has shown the playfulness and enthusiasm of a child, not to mention a love of junk food. Billy is a child that showed the maturity of an adult, not to mention a love of the ladies.
As Billy ages, can the Wisdom of Solomon and Courage of Achilles bridge the gap between him and his alter ego? In other words, could those gifts somehow carry over to Billy without his transforming?

Thanks for taking my question.

Hi Greg,

I've been wondering about the inception of "Young Justice." Specifically, when was the show named? Was there any point at which it was "Untitled DC Animation Show" or was it "Young Justice" from the get-go? And did you choose the name "Young Justice," or was the project given to you with the name already in place?

Relatedly, did you consider at any point having The Team on the show be called "Young Justice," or was that always meant to just be the title of the show?

Thanks!
