I noticed that in some San Diego Comic-Con preview footage, Aqualad had no armpit hair. Does he shave it off? Do other male heroes have it? Excuse mah weird questions o.O
Greg responds...
This is just not a question I'm interested in.

I saw a little interview on Robin that described him as "prepubescent." Does this mean we'll see him go through it on the show?
Greg responds...
He's not really pre-pubescent (and all that that implies). He just hasn't hit his growth spurt yet.
As for your question, I guess that would depend on how long we're on the air. Our first season takes place over a six month period (more or less). You're not going to see him grow much over a mere six months. Not that that's not possible for a thirteen year old. [My own thirteen year old son is now taller than me.]

I just read that, after issue #6, you and Kevin Hopps will be taking over the writing of the Young Justice comic book series full time. I'm sure you'll do great with the comics, but won't it interfere with your work on future seasons of the cartoon, should you get a pick-up?
Greg responds...
I don't think so. We'll have a big head-start. We're working on issue #7 now at the same time that Art & Franco are working on issue #2.
(UPDATE: The scripts to issues #0 [by Kevin & Greg] & #1 [by Art & Franco] ]are both done. Mike Norton's finished the gorgeous interior art for issue #0 and I assume he's now at work on #1, while coloring and lettering are being done on #0.)
And back when I was doing SpecSpidey, I was able to write the Gargoyles and Red Tornado comics and that one issue of Amazing Spider-Man. I can handle about one comic a month in addition to my television work. And since Kevin's co-writing the book with me, I really only have to write the equivalent of half an issue a month on Young Justice (although it's not quite that straightforward).

Hello, Greg
Ok, two questions in mind:
1. Is Artemis Cissie King? I only ask this because one of the press releases on Toon Zone named her true identity as Cissie King. Also, does Conner take the last name "Smith"?
2. Is the scientist in the Comic-Con video Dr. Mark Desmund? I noticed the "Project: Blockbuster" vials, and Desmund has showed in two of your previous scripts have included him. Not to mention he kinda looks like him.
Greg responds...
1. I've stated MULTIPLE TIMES that Artemis is not Cissie.
1a. Smith? No.
2. It's Mark Desmond, yes.

In regards to this answer re: Earth-16...
We asked DC for one of their unused 52 Earths, and they assigned us Earth-16 . I wasn't aware at the time that pieces of it had been explored already. So we're ignoring that stuff.
....Wouldn't it have made more sense to check back with DC and change the universe the show is set in to Earth-Something-Else, some number that really hadn't been assigned yet, then to just ignore the previous Earth-16 stuff?
Greg responds...
Yes. Yes, it would. But by the time we found out that ANY previous Earth-16 stuff existed, it was too late to change for various reasons that I won't go into at this time.
Harlequinn writes...
Young Justice: Okay so, when Artemis' identity is revealed on the show, will it be some big epic reveal to a long mystery of her identity, or will it be something just there like "Oh hey, ______ what's up?"
Greg responds...
"Oh, hey, Harlequinn, what's up with you not being willing to wait and see for yourself?"
Albert writes...
Hey, Greg!
I'm very excited about the new Young Justice cartoon. In many respects, I want this Earth-16 universe to be the main DCU because all continuity has been distilled, rebooted, and made fresh. I'm looking forward to the comic book in January as well.
Pleasantries aside, on to brass tacks...
You've mentioned on several interviews and panels that realism has played a crucial role in fleshing out this series. This was evident on your detailed explanation on costumes, the choosing of characters, etc. How about in respect to the timeline of Earth-16? It would not seem "realistic" that the children of characters like the original Icicle and Black Canary would be, by the looks of it, in their mid-20s while their parents had their adventures during WWII in relation to the current timeline, which is 2010. Will there be an adequate explanation for that? Sorry if this seemed too heavy-duty.
Thanks for making questions like these available!
Greg responds...
I have a timeline, which is currently 139 pages long. In order to make our current characters the correct age, it effected everything and everyone that came before. So the original Black Canary was NOT active during World War II on Earth-16, for example. She was born in 1943... and was relatively old when she gave birth to the current Canary.
Some of this will be revealed in the show. Some of it in the comic. Some of it's just background for those of us working on the series.

Hi! Were really excited about Young Justice! Here are a few questions.
1. You mentioned that Robin was the only member without super powers. So does this mean that Artemis has super powers when Green Arrow doesnt?
2. You chose Wally West and Dick Grayson. In the comic books they are the best of friends. Are they in this series?
3. Is the Young Justice Premiere going to air in Europe the same time as USA? I live in Europe...
4. Do each Young Justice team member know each others identities?
5. What is the title of the two part premiere episode?
THANKS!!!
Greg responds...
1. I never said that. Artemis has no super-powers either.
2. Yep.
3. I don't know.
4. No. Some are keeping their identities secret.
5. "Independence Day"
Ashton writes...
Hey Greg,
1. Is Zatanna going to be a teen or an adult in Young Justice? If you can't say because it would give something away. I dont want to know.
2. Are they all located in different places? Such as Robin in Gotham, Aqualad in Atlantis, Kid Flash in Star City etc.
3. Now you probably can't answer. But I'll ask it just in case, Can Aqualad survive on land for long periods of time without needing water?
4. Were there any villians you couldn't use in Young Justice?
5. How many episodes have guys completed so far?
Thanks for taking the time out to answer my questions.
Greg responds...
1. Just out of curiousity, if I said ANYTHING how could it NOT give something away? And since it would by definition give something away and since you said in that case you don't want to know then WHY BOTHER ASKING? Anyway, no comment.
2. If by located, you mean they live in these separate places, then yes. Although Kid Flash lives in Central City, not Star City.
3. Yes. (Well... define "long periods". I mean, he can't go years or anything.)
4. There were. There aren't anymore.
5. None but the pilot movie. As of today, we haven't even completed post-production on the episodic versions of the two episodes that the pilot was made from.
Ashton writes...
1. Were you amazed by any of your voice actors for Young Justice? Because I read somewhere online that you were pretty impressed with Khary Payton and Jesse McCartney's voice.
2. I noticed in various footage and images of Young Justice that Kid Flash had the original spandex outfit when fighting Captain Cold with his mentor, But in another image he had shoulder pads and protective gear. Does Kid Flash end making changes to his outfit later on in the series?
3. I know you probably won't or can't answer this but I just have to ask, Can Kaldur'ahm manipulate water without using those swords? I just called them swords because I don't know what to call them.
4. Does Aqualad have a home of his own? You don't have to spoil it by saying names, Since his father's a villian, but if you can't say I'm okay with that.
5. Will you reveal who the Artemis character is before the show officially starts in January 2011 or will we have to wait to til then?
8. Does any of the team members know Aqualad or Artemis's secret identities?
7. Is Aqualad best friends with somebody on the team or is he more of a loner? Such as Robin and Kid Flash's best friend relationship.
8. I wish you, Brandon Vietti, Phil Bourassa and everyone working on Young Justice a Happy Thanksgiving, and Us fan's appreciate what hard work you guys put into your projects.
Greg responds...
1. I'm impressed with all our voice actors, including guys and gals I've worked with many times before. Khary's audition perhaps surprised me, because his Aqualad was just so different from Cyborg. He just nailed it. And having never worked with him before, I wasn't aware of his versatility.
2. Yes.
3. They are called Water-Bearers, and he does need them to do his thing. It's a combination of Atlantean science and sorcery. His mystic tattoos power the water-bearers which use water stored in his backpack or from some other source to create water weapons and/or manipulate water.
4. He lives in Atlantis most of the time.
8. They all know Aqualad's. It's not a secret. No comment on Artemis -- at least not until she appears in the series.
7. Kaldur's best friend is Garth back in Atlantis, but he gets along well with everyone on the Team.
8. Thank you.
