If you dont read comics then I'm not sure you'll be able to anwser these questions.
But how do you feel about the progression of Batman Comics not their quality, but like
Dick becoming Batman?
And in general did you like NightWing as a character?
Do you like Red Robin?
How do you feel about time passing in comics, I noticed the time stamps, but I'm not sure if thats there to keep track with the comics or, because of your future plans.
And what I meant by time passing is do you feel that it should in comics?
Should Batman not appear to have aged since his introduction or even most recent reintroduction?
Should sidekicks one day be allowed to become more?
Greg responds...
1. I'm not hugely familiar with current comics. I've been a bit too busy on the series.
2. I do feel that if ANYONE should replace Bruce Wayne as Batman, it should be Dick Grayson.
3. I like Nightwing.
4. I'm not familiar with Red Robin.
5. I personally think time should pass. (That's what I've tried to do in the past on Captain Atom and Gargoyles.)
6. The timestamps aren't simply to keep track with our Young Justice comics, though that's a tasty side benefit. But we were ALWAYS planning to have them to ground the show in the moment and allow fans to get how much time has passed between episodes. It's the next logical step from what I tried to do on Spectacular Spider-Man.
7. Yes. One way or another.
8. Aging - with adults, as opposed to kids or teenagers -- is or at least can be a subtle thing. But, yes, I think he should age.
9. Watch the series.
In the future, please NUMBER your questions.
Henry writes...
Are the "bibles" something that just you do, or is it standard for animated series?
Do live action television series do it to?
Also do all animated series have time-lines like you've made?
Or do they just kinda make it up as they go?
Greg responds...
1. It's pretty standard, though mine tend to be longer than standard.
2. As far as I know, though I've never worked in live-action.
3. That I doubt.
4. I'm sure each series is different.

Tell the rest of the Gargoyle fans to send questions to this link about Garoyles Season 2 Volume 2 and Season 3 being released. This will help alot for the DVDs to be considered for release by the Walt Disney Company. Tell them to spread the word and to contact this link as much as possible. This will truly help.

Greg responds...
Um... if you say so.
Go for it, gang!
Paul & Sylvia writes...
Paul: I was wondering, and this may be a stretch, but are you hoping for a similar impact on the greater DCU as "Batman: The Animated Series" of the 1990's had. That show changed the way people looked at Batman and company to such an extent as to shape the re-imagining of the characters in all forms of media. Since you are taking a new stance on previously established characters, do you think "Young Justice" can do the same?
Sylvia: "Incredible bulk"? Take that show stealers! (We are ready to assist with your revenge plot. Just ask.) Hope to see you are NYCC 2011, your panel was packed for good reason. Congratulations on the new project.
Paul: I told her not to say that...
Your fans,
Paul & Sylvia
Greg responds...
Paul - It's not even vaguely our concern. We just want to make the best series we can make.
Sylvia - I think you missed the point of the inside joke. Blockbuster has always been a bit of a Hulk-off. So we were acknowledging that (humorously) while at the same time (hopefully) creating a new Blockbuster that would NOT feel -- or look -- as Hulk-like.
Gothic-Cowboy writes...
Mr. Weisman, during a Comic-Con interview you identified Batman as being the leader of the Justice League, and the rest of the League clearly deferred to him in the Young Justice pilot. So I started to wonder about leadership in the League:
1. Has Batman been officially designated the leader in some way, or does he lead by more of an informal consensus?
2. Is Batman the only leader the Justice League has ever had?
3. How does Batman feel about leadership? Did he want to be the leader, or did it take him some time to accept that he was the best candidate?
4. How does the rest of the League feel about Batman's leadership? Obviously, it will vary from person to person, but is there anyone on the League who is dissatisfied with the arrangement?
5. Aside from the leader, are the rest of the League theoretically equals (I say theoretically because obviously some have seniority or greater expertise in some matters than others).
6. Was it difficult for you and Brandon Vietti and who ever else had input to narrow down the League's membership? You probably weren't looking for a JLU set-up with dozens and dozens of heroes, and part of being a long-time comic book fan is developing a fondess for B-,C-, and D-list characters that sadly go underutilized. I know if I were called upon to do so, I would have a hard time not including all kinds of wonderful, obscure characters. Was it hard for you?
Thank you for your time.
Greg responds...
1. He was formally elected.
2. No.
3. "Want" is complicated, but I think he reasons he's the best candidate.
4. Not generally.
5. Yes, all equals.
6. Hard? No. There were specific reasons for every one of the sixteen Leaguers included. And reasons to disinclude those that weren't chosen. (And, yes, we were working from a HUGE list of options.)

Todd Jensen writes...
I think that this is just a coincidence, but I decided I should mention it to you.
I was rereading Chapters Three and Four of "Bad Guys" today, because of their link to New Year's Eve, and noticed that the captions stated that the Eastcheap Island adventure took place five days after the confrontation with Sevarius. We know that the Sevarius adventure was on New Year's Eve, so the encounter with Falstaff must have taken place on January 5. And January 5 is Twelfth Night - a holiday after which one of Shakespeare's comedies was named.
I was amazed and impressed by that revelation, but I assumed that it must be a coincidence; the Eastcheap adventure draws on Shakespeare, of course, but on Falstaff rather than on "Twelfth Night". Still, when I mentioned it in the comment room, Matt suggested that I share it with you, so I did.
Greg responds...
Thanks. I'll be honest, it was PROBABLY a coincidence. I think. But it's been SO long since I actually wrote the script (way before the book came out, which was already some time ago) that it's possible that I had Twelfth Night on the brain and timed it that way to amuse myself. I just can't remember.
Becky writes...
Hey! As a fan of Gargoyles and of the Nostalgia Crigic, I was just wondering if you ever got around to seeing the review that the Nostalgia Critic (Doug Walker) did of Gargoyles? While usually he bashes everything about every show and movie he reviews, (even the ones he likes) he surprisingly gave a pretty generous review to Gargoyles. Actually, that's the reason why I started watching the show.

Greg responds...
I have seen at least some of them. And I do always appreciate nice notices.
YOUNG JUSTICE TIMESTAMP HORROR
YOUNG JUSTICE TIMESTAMP HORROR
Yes, that's right. I said "horror". (For me, anyway.)
Okay, as some of you probably have ALREADY noticed, two of the timestamps on Episode #4 of YOUNG JUSTICE ("Drop-Zone) is incorrect.
Here's the CORRECT timeline:
The beginning of the Teaser correctly reads:
SANTA PRISCA
JUNE 19, 00:43 ECT
The beginning of Act One SHOULD read:
CARIBBEAN SEA
JULY 22, 20:08 ECT
And the tag at the end of the episode SHOULD read:
MOUNT JUSTICE
JULY 23, 10:01 EDT
We are fully aware that to some of our more serious-minded fans, these are huge errors. All I can say is that there's no possible way it's as traumatizing to you guys as it is to us.
I'm seriously not at all sure how this happened. We did review the timestamps, and they were correct, but obviously at some point during the process of post-production they were changed and nobody noticed it. We are ATTEMPTING to see if we can get them fixed for future airings, but it is clear there's no possible way to get it fixed in time for Sunday's airing. And I'm not sure if it's financially feasible to fix at all. But we will try. And in any case, we are instituting measures to make sure this never happens again on any future episodes. (Please, God.)
I am ... ugh... just going nuts over this.
You have the sincere apologies of everyone on the Young Justice production crew.
