1. Are you taking suggestions from fans on things to put in the show or do you have everything planned out?

2. What are some examples of the teenage heroes that are on the list you choose from?

Greg responds...

1. At this point, everything's not only planned, it's executed. But in any case, NO. Not allowed to take suggestions per Warner Bros. legal department.

2. "Some examples" (strictly in alphabetical order): Aqualad, Artemis, Kid Flash, Miss Martian, Red Arrow, Robin, Speedy, Superboy, to name a few...

Hey Greg, just need to ask a few questions about Young Justice which is perfect by the way.
1.I noticed in the third episode that Kid Flash was constantly trying to flirt with Miss Martian, but Robin kept bring him down every chance he got.Was this deliberate because he obviously knew of Miss Martian crush on Superboy or was it just a conicedence.

Greg responds...

I'm not clear on what two things would be the "coincidence" in this case...?

How is it that having Robyn at her feet, Demona didnt kill her? I loved the scene and I think that there may be two possible answers:

a- Demona does seem to have a twisted sense of humor. After watching her facing Hackon, The Renaissance Hunter and the current Hunter's father (cant remembere the name)and destroying the ciberbiotics airship with a smile from ear to ear...it's evident she likes to play with her prey, so to speak. Was she just trying to put a scare on the "little hunters" and play around with them a little bit?

B- It kind of seems unlickly that something could have stopped her from killing Robyn, considering there were three unarmed children with her down there...or so it seemed, which comes to the next possibility: Did something forced her to fleed?

Thanks for any answer you may provide ;D Demona rocks!

Kuddos,

Greg responds...

What scene are we talking about?

Why do the Gargoyles' loincloths turn to stone? Hudson's sword is inconsistently drawn in the comics and TV show as both turning to stone and not at different points, but I assume the latter is the correct interpretation since Xanatos (in the TV show) makes a point of finding a replica of Hudson's sword in order to make a convincing statue of him. Therefore, it seems like their accessories do not turn to stone, yet their clothing does. Why?

Greg responds...

This has been asked and answered MANY times. It's called the "Humility Spell" and we have an entire archive about it here at ASK GREG. For more info, check here: http://gargoyles.dracandros.com/Spell_of_Humility

In fact, the gargoyles wiki is a VERY useful place to get info BEFORE coming here to ask for it.

Okay, I hope you don't take this the wrong way, but I was just wondering, do toyline tie-ins play any part in storylines or story elements you guys come up with? I'm just curious because I know some of the producers from the Brave and the Bold cartoon have mentioned that the toy company had a hand in pushing certain stories and characters like the Starro two-parter.

Greg responds...

Not so far. We had discussions with Mattel way at the beginning of development -- and they absolutely had some worthwhile suggestions -- but they pretty much liked where we were going with the series, and they've had no influence on story.

Since then, we've been feeding them designs, and Kevin Hopps and I have been writing copy for the back of their packaging. We're actually pretty excited about the collaboration.

"Welcome to Happy Harbor" Review

It’s here, it’s finally here! The first all new Young Justice episode in almost two months! So how does it hold up? Pretty good, I’d say. Admittedly this episode doesn’t have quite the same level of intrigue and jaw dropping moments as Independence Day or Fireworks but that’s okay. This story is more about getting to know the kids a bit and giving the character stuff more room to breath. And the character stuff is very well done here. We get to see the original four from the pilot interacting with each other, as well as the two newest additions to the main cast.

I particularly enjoyed Red Tornado, Jeff Bennet gives the character a very deadpan delivery that ironically brings Tornado to life. And thanks to the episode’s tag, it looks like we’re going to be learning a lot more about this guy in the future.

Of course it’s M’gann who’s the real star of this story. She starts out very insecure and unsure of her place on this team, if not this planet. But by the end of the episode she seems be a lot more confident though I’m guessing she still has a way to go.

Not that our retuning characters don’t get plenty of nice moments. Kaldur is once again the voice of reason, Superboy shows about all the social graces of somebody who grew up in a tube and Wally is… well Wally. And I loved watching Robin heckling Wally’s pitiful attempts at flirting.

On the antagonist side of things, Mr. Twister is an okay villain but something about him didn’t entirely click for me. I couldn’t even tell that was supposed to be John Delancie doing the voice. Still, considering he turned out to be merely a henchmen for the real villain, maybe that’s the point. Given his interest in Red Tornado as well as being able to duplicate Red’s powers with the Mr. Twister armour, I’ve a pretty good idea who this “Professor” character really is.

All and all, it was a welcome re-introduction to this universe and I can’t wait to see the team’s first official mission next week.

Greg responds...

Yeah, the Professor is T.O. Morrow (revealed in the credits).

Glad you liked it. A breather of sorts before their first mission in episode 4.

A question about Elisa's shooting by Broadway.

It was confirmed on-screen in "Deadly Force" that only Broadway, Elisa and Goliath know that Broadway shot Elisa. Dracon may have overheard it, because he was being held upside down by Goliath when Broadway confessed. And perhaps the other members of the Manhattan Clan were told off-screen.

I wonder how the police investigation went on this shooting. In "Deadly Force", the gun was taken into evidence, but Chavez said that no conclusive prints could be found on the gun. She did affirm her conviction that Dracon did it and that no one who "hits" a cop would get away with it.

In "The Edge", Elisa tells Chavez that getting shot was an "accident". Was the shooting reclassified an accident off screen? What was Elisa's account of the shooting to the police? Were the police curious as to why someone would shoot Elisa in her apartment and then leave her outside the ER of a hospital?

Greg responds...

The shooting was reclassified as an accident with Elisa blaming herself. She offered no explanation for how she got to the hospital, and none could be found. Chavez, I think, found the story suspicious, which may have been one of the reasons she insisted that Elisa get a partner.

I have some Youn justice questions

1.-Why Superman acted that way towards superboy?. If someone could understant superboy's predicament better than anyone is Clark.He is an orphan himself.He lose jor-el and Jonathan Kent.He losed two parents.I was a bit disapointed on him acting that way I espected more of big blue.

2.-Are you surprised how popular artemis despite the fact taht she hasn't officialy apperead in the show beyond the intro?.

Greg responds...

1. Personally, I think you're seeing things in a very black and white manner -- when this show is all about shades of grey. (Incidentally, I'm not using this question to confirm or deny anything at all about Superman's background on Earth-16.)

2. I didn't know she was popular before her intro. How does one measure that?
