Hi Greg,
I really applaud you for your series. The plot is so smooth and cryptic, the prefect tone for this type of series!
1. What were the incantations of The two-dimensions-merging spell and the the ice-tower-explosion spell?
2. Why does everyone refer Zatarra by his last name Zatarra? Even Zatanna does it. It's like calling your father by his last name (which is also your last name).
3. Do Zatanna and Giovanni know that their spells are reversed? Do they make it up on the spot? Or are they already existing spells, and that having it backwards was jus for fun?

Greg responds...

1a. ASKED AND ANSWERED.

1b. Erif nrub; nordluac elbbub!

2. Zatara is his stage name as well as his nom-de-guerre as a hero.

3. The backwards speak is a requirement of their particular brand of magic. Otherwise, Zatanna explained it best herself in "Humanity" and again in "Misplaced".

Hey Greg, loved the Image! One question for you about it though. At the beginning of the episode Garfield had blue eyes but after the blood transfusion he had green eyes. I'm not going to directly ask you about it being explained in the future of Young Justice (Though I would love to know) of course I'll probably be met with "SPOILER REQUEST. NO COMMENT" But if it will be mentioned in the future will it be in the show or the tie in comics?

Greg responds...

By now you know the answer.

What made you decide to put blood in Young Justice? I'd always thought that blood in a children's cartoon was sort of taboo, but first in "Terrors" and now in "Image" (Great episode, by the way!)... I honestly can't remember blood in a cartoon since Batman: The Animated Series.

Greg responds...

We've had blood in most of the cartoons I've done - always within reason, for good purpose and to demonstrate something important.

Hey greg I am studyig international law so I have a question regarding Count Vertigo.

Even with his diplomaic immunity, why wasn't he declared persona non grata? and explled from USA?.

Sure after leading the injustice league, he wouldn't have been allowed to remain, would he?

Greg responds...

You may know more on this subject than I do.

First I want to say that I loved your work since I was a kid. I'm 22 now and I liked Gargoyles when it was in first, only to positively love it when I caught it in reruns during my teen years. Spectacular Spider-Man is probably my second favorite super-hero cartoon of all times (and I've sought out most of them), second only to Young Justice. Icon is one of my favorite characters/series of all times and it just blows my mind that you've included him and Rocket on the show. On to the questions (I apologize if they stray into spoiler territory, I'm trying to "ask the right questions" as it were):

1) Connor seemed to take the revelation that he was named for an old sitcom character in stride. Have he and M'gann discussed how long she'd been "crushing" on him before they started dating, meaning he's unsurprised by the revelation? Like, since he's now found out that she modeled herself on the show's main character, he's not surprised that she suggested her crush take the name of Megan's crush from the show. Or did he just not particularly care there the name came from?

2) This one probably strays into spoiler territory but you say there weren't really super-heroes between the disbanding of the JSA and the debut of Superman in the relative present. However, you've also made reference to there being an Original Black Canary and there are several super-villains who are middle aged or older (Icicle, Tigress, and Sportsmaster in particular). Does that mean there simply weren't publicly known (or well known) super heroes and villains during the interim?

3) Is there any chance of seeing some of the background information for the show (like from the timeline and series bible, which seriously seem far more carefully planned than the DCnU) published somewhere? Something like the Allspark Almanacs for Transformers Animated.

And those are the only two questions I have that I think have a chance of not being spoilers. I have so many I'd like to ask about Icon and Rocket, but considering their comic book origins there are a load of implicit spoilers in even asking "how long have they been active?"

Please keep up the amazing work sir!

Greg responds...

1. He was mostly unsurprised. And I don't think he cared too much.

2. Didn't make the same caveat for villains as I made for heroes, but there were a handful of heroes operating in secret during the interim.

3. Anything's possible, but not while that info would give away spoilers.

Hello Mr. Greg I'm a huge fan of Syoung justice and i'd like to ask a few questions
1. Did Zatara depart from the League once he became doctor fate?
2. If Superboy was found later by the team would his powers have further developed?
3. Does Black Manta even love his son?

Greg responds...

1. "Depart" is not the word I'd use, but officially he has been listed on leave, and Doctor Fate took his place.

2. No.

3. Watch and decide for yourself.

If, theoretically, you wanted a character in Young Justice to be gay and it made perfect sense in the context of the show, do you think you'd be able/allowed to actually put anything reflecting that in the show? Comics?

Greg responds...

ASKED AND ANSWERED.

Dear Mr. Weisman,

Thank you for all your hard work and dedication to what you do. I have to express extra gratitude for the "Dangerous Wounds" Gargoyle episode. That lesson stuck by me through my childhood and now as an adult. I'm glad I got to learn gun control from a cartoon and not from a real life experience. Unfortuneately a neighbor of mine was not so fortune. This happened years ago but I to this very day I wonder if every child/teen saw that episode maybe there would be less gun related accidents. Just want to say your message came across strong to at least some people.

I also got into Young Justice and I know there are messages of teamwork, responsibility, honesty, and bravery in the storyline. All are great values to instil to children and adults alike.

Besides these basic morals and values, is there an underlying message you want to get across to today's audience?

I wish you the best success hope Young Justice will be signed for many more seasons.

Regards.

Greg responds...

"Dangerous Wounds"? Did you mean "Deadly Force"?

As for underlying messages, I believe it's best to let the viewer take from the show what they take.

Was Aquaman raised by humans or Atlanteans on Earth 16? Why is he stronger than other Atlanteans?

Greg responds...

1. Mostly Atlanteans.

2. Good genes.

Sorry to ask another question, but I just wanted to say Artemis has come to be the breakout character of the show for me, and I guess I just had a question.

Obviously the writers took a lot of liberties with the character for the sake of fitting your adaptation (which I'm always a fan of seeing BTW!) and I've noticed that to a certain degree, bits of Artemis' backstory in the show resemble that of Cassandra Cain, who was the third Batgirl. Particularly making her parents members of the League of Shadows and having a white, blonde father and an Asian mother, and of course becoming a superhero to move away from her parents' lifestyle.

So I was just wondering, were some of these similarities intentional, or just a coincidence?

Either way, keep up the good work!

Greg responds...

Not intentional, as I'm just not that familiar with Cassandra Cain. But the similarities may be natural as opposed to coincidental.
