A couple of questions on Qurac and Bialya

* I noticed on the map in Image, they look like Syria and Iraq. was this deliberate?
* Are they Arabian or North African countries?
* I've seen Dhabar in a comic once, but not Al-Qawiya. Was it always Bialya's capital, or did you make it up? What does it mean?

Greg responds...

1. No.

2. Both.

3. Both names came from DC's oeuvre. I don't know what - if anything - it means.

Great job on the season finale! There's some imagery there that'll give me nightmares for a while yet... I have a question about Roy and the wonderful Mr. Crispin Freeman, who was a really great choice to play a really great role.

1. Was Crispin Freeman told about Roy's role in the plot? Did he know from the first episode that Roy was both the mole and a clone, or was that reveal kept from him until the relevant episodes were recorded?

Greg responds...

1. Honestly, I don't remember. It'd be a good question to ask Crispin. (Is there an ASK CRISPIN somewhere? Cuz if not, there should be.)

what was carlos brothers name in performance, and who playd him and carlo?

Greg responds...

We never named Carlo's brother, I'm afraid.

I'm fairly certain that Nolan North played them both. But my Season One scripts are boxed, and I can't check to make sure.

Hey Greg, loving Young Justice so far, so keep up the good work! I just had a few questions in mind that I hope aren't simply in the annoying "no comment" territory as they mostly pertain to the choices you and others involved have made as opposed to just spoilers.

1. Was there ever discussion to use Tim Drake or Jason Todd instead of Dick Grayson for Robin? Personally, Grayson is my favorite, but I'm a huge fan of how you've incorporated some Drake-traits into him. This is probably my favorite incarnation of the character in any medium that I've seen!

2. I LOVE the inclusion of the ranking system for the teams. Who decided on which people should be ranked above others (outside of the obvious Superman-1, Batman-2, etc)? Was that a subject that caused a lot of debate amongst the writers?

3. I'm curious...I can see why Vandal Savage, Ra's al Ghul, and Lex Luthor are in The Light, but why the others? Queen Bee seems to be getting quite a bit of screen time for someone a little out of the mainstream. Was the choice of using people like her, Brain, Sportsmaster, and others that are frequently showcased just a matter of the writers/producers really liking those characters or is there a plan set in motion?

4. What was the design process of Riddler like? His look is quite different in some ways than what I was expecting.

Thanks in advance. I'm really looking forward to Invasion and what comes after that as well!

Greg responds...

1. ASKED AND ANSWERED. (And what hasn't been answered is a SPOILER.)

2. It's not a ranking system. Designations are based on the order of entry into either the League or the Team, etc. So, no, no debate. Cause it's objective not subjective.

3. Both, probably.

4. Same as with all our characters. Brandon, Phil and I talk. Phil comes up with something brilliant. We either love it instantly or ask for a few minor tweaks, and then it goes to final.

On the team right now who is the best hand to hand fighter? 2. What's Wonder Woman's relationship like with her immediate and biological family? 3. Does Superboy know anything about Krypton? 4. Artemis grandparents were they good people or were they similar to her parents? 5. Back when the team was in Biyala the Light mentioned they had a new partner does this mean their new partner was joining the group of seven or did it mean they have a new business associate

Greg responds...

As of the end of Season One...

1. Probably Robin, I guess, if you're being a purist. But if you take weapons and powers into account, I'd say Aqualad. And Artemis is no slouch either. But they're all learning... thanks to Black Canary.

2. Whom did you have in mind? (You know, that isn't a backdoor spoiler request.)

3. Not much.

4. SPOILER REQUEST. NO COMMENT.

5. The latter.

Since Klarion is a L.O.C on Earth-16 does that mean-
1. he is not from the WitchWorld ?
2. he cannot be killed,only banished back to his home dimension ?
3. he did NOT turn his parents into mice and feed them to Teekl ?

Greg responds...

1. All things are true.

2. Well at any rate, he can't be contained.

3. No promises.

Todd Jensen writes...

In the early days of "Ask Greg", you did a little mini-ramble about how the key to a great villain is to give him or her traits that echo the traits of the hero. You illustrated it with Batman's rogues gallery, in the course of which you mentioned that while you were able to fit Riddler into it (since he's setting riddles and puzzles against Batman, who's a detective), he never grabbed you as much as the other villains.

I haven't seen any of the episodes of "Young Justice" past "Downtime" yet, but I've read about them and learned that Riddler appears in them as one of the Light's agents (and was even introduced in an episode where he's in a prison for super-villains, all the other super-villains make fun of him, but when there's an attempted break-out, Riddler is the only one who escapes). Have your thoughts on Riddler changed since you wrote that mini-ramble (it was in the late 90's, I recall, so there'd have been much time for that)? Of course, it might not be relevant to his role in "Young Justice", since its leads are the team rather than Batman (even though he's one of its supervisors, and Robin is one of its members), so the antagonists in "Young Justice" would be chosen more for how they reflect the traits, strengths, and weaknesses of the team than those of Batman.

Greg responds...

Exactly. And in fact, since the real opponent to the Team is the Light, Riddler's role has more to do with how he fits into the larger organization - as opposed to how he personally resonates with our Team members.

I love YJ! The writing is fabulous. I'm a teenage girl and this is the only television show I've regularly watched in a long time. Keep up the great work! A huge 'thanks' to you and your team.

Greg responds...

You're very welcome. (And I really feel like I should be thanking YOU.)

YJ UPDATE

YJ UPDATE

SEASON ONE of YOUNG JUSTICE has all aired multiple times by now.

SEASON TWO/YOUNG JUSTICE INVASION
*Episodes 201-207 have already aired. 207 airs again this weekend, and then new episodes begin airing on Saturday morning September 29th as part of Cartoon Network's DC Nation block.
*Episodes 208-218 are all in the can. Finished. Done. Ready to air.
*Episode 219 is back here in Burbank, and we'll be calling retakes and locking picture this week.
*Episode 220 is due in from Moi late this week. That's right; we're really in the homestretch on Season Two now.

YOUNG JUSTICE COMPANION COMIC BOOK
*Issues #0-19 have all hit the stands and are available at comic shops or online.
*Issue #20 hits the stands this week. It's the start of a six-part story that is BIG. REALLY BIG. It updates the book, bringing in our Season Two cast, and is set one month prior to the start of Season Two with flashbacks to a couple untold - or only hinted at - tales from the Season One era, plus, by the end of the six-parter, a little story from immediately after Season One. Christopher Jones is just doing some stellar work on the book. And I'm pretty proud of the story and script, if I do say so myself.
*Issue #21 is being colored by Zac Atkinson as we speak.
*Issue #22 is being pencilled by Chris.
*Issues #23 & #24 are both fully scripted and waiting.
*Issue #25 is plotted. I'll be starting on the script tonight.
As always, you don't have to read the comic to enjoy the t.v. series or vice versa. But you get more out of BOTH if you watch/read both.

THE VIDEO GAME
Young Justice Legacy seems to be proceeding apace. I've done a bit of polishing on some of the dialogue to make sure it's consistent with the show.

ASK GREG
Will open again for reader postings on September 29th. Please follow all guidelines - and please, please, please DON'T FLOOD the queue. But please do post your responses to the comics that came out this summer when posting was not possible.

I think that about covers it.
