Hi, Mr. Weisman!!

In the episode "Eye of the Beholder", I've seen "Fox"(a.k.a. Jeanine Xanatos" turns back into her human self and she was naked in this episode, how did you guys come up with that story which aired many years ago??

Greg responds...

Um... I'm not actually sure what you're asking.

The Eye of Odin was created by the video game folks, but we gladly brought it into the series. The discovery that Fox and Xanatos loved each other was a revelation that came with the "Her Brother's Keeper" episode. The idea of the gargoyles being free to walk around on Halloween seemed natural. Otherwise, the characters just sort of brought it all together, giving us what they would do.

Doctor Fate writes...

After watching Denial, I had a question.

1. Kent Nelson states that he hadn't put on the helmet for 65 years, which would mean since 1946. During that time period, 1940-1951, you've stated that the Justice Society operated. From 1941-1945 the JSA expanded to become the All-Star Squadron. So does that mean once the All-Star Squadron returned back to the Justice Society, Kent Nelson retired from being Doctor Fate? Or did he stay on a little while after?

2. At what age did Kent become Doctor Fate?

Thanks.

Greg responds...

1. Kent gave up wearing the actual Helmet of Fate, fashioning a half-helmet that does not submerge his personality. Using magic studied and gleaned by osmosis during his years as a tool of Fate, he still pretends for a time to maintain the Doctor Fate identity but is significantly less powerful.

2. 36.

Thanks.

Hey Greg, I'm so glad we're finally getting more Young Justice episodes. I only have one tiny bit of constructive criticism that dovetails into a question. Conner Kent is one of my favorite comic characters, and I love how you've been slowly developing him as he tries to find his purpose. However, he kind of comes of sort of angsty and the teams muscle. In the comics, I'll fully admit Conner became kind of angsty after it was revealed half his DNA came from Luthor, but it has yet to be seen if that is the case on the show. In his early comic appearances, Conner was more fun loving and loved being a hero. I guess I'm trying to say that while I understand Conner's sort of on an emotional journey, it's rather unsettling to see him with such a bleak outlook. Can we expect Superboy to become more mirthful and lose his depressing attitude?

Greg responds...

You can expect him to be true to the character that we've developed for THIS series.

I don't know how else to put it. The out-of-the-gate personality of the Superboy from the comics didn't make sense to us given the origin we were giving him in our show. That's not a value judgement; it simply reflects two different approaches to the character. We tried to be true to the core of the character as we saw it. You may not feel we've done justice to him, but we feel pretty good about it.

As the series progresses, he'll grow and develop, and hopefully you'll enjoy how that progresses... here on Earth-16.

I probably should have included this with my last question, but I didn't think of it until now. Anyway, do you know if there are plans to release compilations that would amount to consisting of all of the issues of the Young Justice tie-in comic when it ends?

Greg responds...

I don't know.

In Young Justice #8, was Artemis' mother crying over the fact that she thought Artemis felt she needed to hide her history and background?

Greg responds...

Crying? No. Unhappy? Yes.

I'm not sure if this will constitute as a spoiler or not, but will be be seeing more of the less seen characters so far, such as Iris or Garth and Tula?

Greg responds...

Yes.

as of this writing, the last episodes i've seen were "downtime" and "bereft". these were, in my opinion, the best episodes of the series yet. and i think for it was because there appeared to be less of an emphasis on the characters being teenagers. they were just young superheroes learning to work by themselves or with a much larger group of people. i'll be 34 next month, and i suppose i just don't care about seeing a teenager's POV on anything. i think this is why i gravitate more towards red arrow and aqualad as they seem to be the most mature of the bunch. anyway, keep up the good work. i'm loving the show more and more. and the comic as well. will there be a point where the timelines from both the show and comic catch up?

Greg responds...

That's not a priority for me. I'm more interested in telling the stories that interest me, whenever they're set.

If you are against spoilers, then why would you reveal that Black Manta is Aqualad's father? Isn't that spoily?

Greg responds...

That was revealed months and months ago in the pages of DC Comics.

Hi Greg.
My question is about the Gargoyles tv show. I've been a fan of Gargoyles since the late 90's and recently re-found it. As I watched the last cannon episode I could not help but wish that there was more to watch. Has there recently been any talk among those at Disney of bringing the show back? If not is there anything that we long time fans can do to so that they will consider it?
Thank you for all of the questions you answer, and for all the work you have done over the years for all the show you have been part of.

Greg responds...

I'd recommend collecting the three SLG trade paperbacks: "Gargoyles: Clan-Building, Volume 1", "Gargoyles: Clan-Building, Volume 2" and "Gargoyles: Bad Guys: Redemption".
