Hi, I loved Catwoman: Hunted and wanted to ask a little about what separates it from YJ/Earth-16. You've said it's cannon adjascent, like the Green Arrow short.
There are more obvious disconnects between YJ and GA, most notably at the end of the short Vertigo reveals himself and is captured, which conflicts with him having diplomatic immunity in Coldhearted. The differences in CH, at least based on what we know of Earth-16 so far, are more minor and seem like they could be easily explained.
Similarly, while GA has a more similar visual style to YJ than the anime CH, the designs from CH feel much closer to YJ than GA does. To me CH's Batwoman and Cheshire look very much like YJ's Batwoman and Cheshire drawn by a different artist, but GA's Green Arrow and Vertigo look like a very different Arrow and Vertigo drawn by the same artist as YJ's Arrow. So to me CH actually fits with YJ better.
Heck, CH even has a 16 gag - the assassin Catwoman and Batwoman compete over on the Eiffel tower would be #16 for either of them.
So that leads me to ask:
1) Are there specific things that set CH apart from YJ/Earth-16? If so, what are they?
2) Do you have an Earth-16 version of events in mind?
3) When does the Earth-16 version of CH take place?
4) Would an Earth-16 version add significant YJ characters, like you said the YJ version of the GA short would involve Artemis and Red Arrow?
Greg responds...
1. Unfortunately, I can't remember any off the top of my head. I wanted to make Cw:H as close to Earth-16 as possible, but I couldn't get too orthodox about it. So there are probably a few things here or there that might not quite sqaure.
2. It's basically the same set of events.
3. I haven't placed it on the timeline... and maybe that's where it goes a tad south. It might have a few timeline problems fitting in. But nothing that I couldn't figure out. I basically figured out how to fit in the Green Arrow short in Young Justice: Targets.
4. Ultimately, the YJ version of the GA short (in Targets) did involve Red Arrow in a kind of prequel story, and Artemis in a kind of sequel story - but the basic airport story of the short didn't require either. I'd try to make due with the many, many characters already in Cw:H, I imagine.

Have you ever made a "cameo" in anything you've worked on? So for example, a background character resembling you walking in the backshot of a scene, or anything of the sort.
Greg responds...
Yep. I'm in The Spectacular Spider-Man, in the opening titles, alongside Vic Cook. And they also used that model to play a truck driver in an episode. This wasn't my call. I think our character designer, Sean "Cheeks" Galloway, was being, well, cheeky.
Of course, I've also voiced small roles in a number of my series. I was a commando in Gargoyles, Donald Menken in The Spectacular Spider-Man, Hide and an unhoused man in 3x3 Eyes, and Lucas "Snapper" Carr, Ultra-Humanite and Lobo's Belt in Young Justice. Oh, and I was Opie in Rain of the Ghosts. There are probably a few more examples, too, that just aren't coming to mind at the moment.

Hey Greg, been a fan of your work a long time! Just one thing I'm curious about-
Halo didn't explore being a Muslim until s4, and explicitly said they weren't Muslim in s3. So why is Halo considered Muslim rep in s3? I just don't get what all the arguing is about if Halo wasn't Muslim at all!
Greg responds...
I'm not sure why you're asking me, honestly. I can't take responsibility for the entire internet.
I assume the hijab they continued to wear had something to do with it, but Halo was a new entity and their residual Gabrielleness made them feel more comfortable wearing it than not. And as Madia told them in S4, it's fine for Violet to continue wearing it while they are in the process of making up their mind.

Before the breakup did Queen Perdita ever saw a picture of Garfield Logan before his hair and skin turned green?
Greg responds...
I'm sure she did at some point.
Suzie writes...
1. How close are Superboy and Black Canary? Do they share a somewhat familial bond and are they still close by season 4?
2. Has Garth moved on from losing Tula or is he still struggling to move on like Artemis did?
3. When exactly did Cyborg join the Justice League and how long was he with the Outsiders before joining the League?
4. When did Conner and Megan graduate and move in together? Year and day please.
Greg responds...
1. They're close. But, familial... no. I wouldn't think so. She's a friend and mentor.
2. I'm not sure what you mean by "moved on". I'm not sure I love that phrase. I'm sure he has good days and bad days.
3. Cyborg joined the Justice League in December of Team Year Nine. He joined the Outsiders in January of that same year.
4. They graduated high school in June, Team Year Two. I don't have a specific date. They graduated college in Team Year Six, but because of the Invasion, they may have graduated late. I don't have a specific date. Sometime after graduating, they moved in to the apartment above Lucas Carr's garage. Again, I don't have a specific date, but they were already living there together by July 29, Team Year Eight.

Hello Mr.Weisman
How did bane almost defeat batman in hand to hand combat? Shouldn't batman be more skilled and experienced (If not stronger) than bane? Was he holding back or he is just getting older and is not as good as he used to be?
And sorry about the grammatical mistakes, I am not a native English speaker.
Greg responds...
Why would you think that Batman would be more skilled and experienced than Bane? They have parallel backgrounds, and Bane's been literally fighting for his life since early childhood, i.e. years before Bruce started training in earnest.
Chad writes...
Why did you have Tara say mother of goat instead of mother of God in young justice outsiders?
Greg responds...
It started with Brion, not Tara. And, candidly, it started with Brion's voice actor, Troy Baker, who said it once during a recording session, and we thought it was so funny, we used it and kept using it. Then we decided it was a common (translated) expression in Markovia - a less blasphemous euphemism for Mother of God. So, since Tara is Markovian, it made sense for her to say it, too.
Mark Thomas writes...
With the release of Catwoman: Hunted (no spoilers) that your state is "canon adjacent," similar to DC Showcase: Green Arrow (also did you’re written for that short film back in the 2010s). Thought if there are any plans to expand the Earth-16 just beyond Young Justice.
What other characters or team that you’re like and anyone else involved in DC that wants to next? Not only you’re guys making no longer Young Justice episodes. You're making the Young Justice Universe.
Greg responds...
The list is endless. Whatever they'd let us do. Whenever they'd let us do it.

I know this isn't that uncommon in the fandom, but I am obsessed with the Zeta designations used on YJ. I have a spreadsheet tracking revealed designations, every time they were used on screen, on panel, on Ask Greg, or in promotional material, and a (very rough) timeline of when each number was activated. I even have predictions of who might be the unrevealed numbers. My white whale is the A-series, which by its nature isn't easy to predict. I know it's useless to ask you to reveal the unknown numbers, but I feel like this question is playing fair with the Ask Greg rules: Has the audience been introduced to every individual who has been granted an A-series designation?
And since I have a couple more question slots:
2. Does Captain Atom undergo a significant enough physical change when he becomes Nathanial Adams that he would need a separate designation number, similar to the Marvel family?
3. What name is used for Billy Batson's A-05 designation? Is it William Batson, like how Mal Duncan is designated Malcolm Duncan? I can't imagine the JL computer reading out "Billy" without laughing.
4. Same question as 3, but for Lieutenant Marvel/Freddy Freeman's A designation. Is it Freddy or Frederick or some other permutation?
5. And one that I'm fairly sure will be hit with the SPOILER REQUEST: Are there any C-designations besides Wolf and Sphere?
Greg responds...
1. I'm afraid not. I just took a quick glance at the list, and there are at least four characters who are on it who haven't yet appeared. I had to plan ahead, you see.
2. No.
3. It's Billy.
4. Freddy.
5. Yes. I have Cs up to C-07. And honestly, I don't think they'd be all that hard to guess.

How did you cast Jenifer Lewis? She's not commonly seen doing voice over work. Whose idea was it to cast here? How is she?
Greg responds...
Jamie Thomason suggested her, I believe. (Though, it's been awhile.) And she was great. I haven't seen her since, so I hope she's still doing well.
