Hi Mr. Weisman, I would be glad if you answer some of this questions

1. How did the Kroloteans and The Reach knew about the meta-gene? I ask this because none of the members of the Justice League that attacked Rimbor had meta-genes

2. Are Batgirl and Wondergirl public heroes? In "Happy New Year" Gordon Godfrey shows footage of Lobo ripping the false body to reveal a krolotean, he even mentioned that it has been played a lot of times before, did the video was edited to not show them? if that's the case why?

3. Who's a public hero and Who isn't?

4. About the Team, I know you've said that the team doesn't need a fancy name, but I find it difficult to believe that some eager members like Beast Boy or Kid Flash that even named the Super-Cycle didn't come up with a name for them, did some ever come up with or suggested a name for the team or they just let Superboy decide how to refer to themselves?

5. Face recognition technology used for uncovered Sportmaster and Cheshire would recognize Clark Kent as Superman or any other uncovered hero?

Well thanks for your attention, I hope you can answer some of them. Young Justice brought me a lot of hours of fun and it has become my favorite animated series, Thank you

Were Tempest and Lagoon Boy on good terms before Garth left the Team? Did they get along?

I was wondering how come Barbara does not wear glasses to protect her identity when in civvies like the other batkids do. Isn't she also well known around Gotham?

This might be a better question for Brandon/Phil/Jerome/Dusty, but here goes -

All those aliens on Rimbor... were there any original designs among them, or were they all taken/adapted from the two Green Lantern animated movies to save time and money?

Was the departure of Lieutenant Marvel and Sergeant Marvel from the Team related to the death of Jason Todd?

Hey Greg,
I've got another question that has been eating me up.

What ever happened to the Gnomes. After the episode "Agendas" we never saw them again. Did things ever work out? Or are they still enslaved by Cadmas.

Hey Greg,
Big fan. Loved Gargoyles as a kid and love Young Justice even though I'm almost an adult now. Hope you don't mind my questions.

1) Ok so I hear a lot of complainers about the fact that Artemis and Wally (especially Wally) are out of hero game. Now normall I'd reply with saying Wally has grown up and has decided there are more important things out there than the thrill of being a costumed hero. But then theres the hints that Artemis really does miss being in the action (as indicated by her inner monologue). So here is a question based on a theory I heard. Did either of them pressure the other into giving up hero work for college? I mean, in season 2, Artemis was pressured into changing schools, maybe she was pressured into college. Maybe she even pressured Wally into coming with her and he took it to heart.

2) I notice that Kaldur and the other Atlantians have some pretty wicked energy attacks. What about Aquaman? I never see him do any of those kinds of tricks, and in other shows all he does is talk to fish. Just wondering.

3) Ok so Dick Grayson has always been my favorite DC character (aside from Batman himself). In season one it seemed like you really used him well. However, I couldn't help but notice how h was watered down in season two. I'm not really complaining because everything happened for plot convinience, and I'd respect that but I'd like your opinion on how you executed his character development.

4) Ok so this is the most important question for me. I noticed how the heroes tended not to really keep their secret identities that secret. For example, there's Artemis. She uses her real name and is recognized by all of the villains. They even know her relations to Sportsmaster and Chessire. Doesn't that put her loved ones (like her mother and Wally's identity) at risk? Even further down, they know everything about Roy Harper (that's how they cloned him) so does that mean they know everything about Green Arrow as well? There is also the case with Blue Beetle, Lagoon Boy, Zatanna, and M'Gann. However the only one that seemed to have it come back to bite them is M'Gann. I still wonder how Lagoon Boy goes around in public without causing suspicion. And Zatanna uses her real name as well. How does she keep a low profile?
I just want to know how important the heros' secret lives are to the series and if the Villains actually take note of them?

Anyways, still a huge fan. You're show is fantastic without a doubt. I really hope that Cartoon Network changes there minds.

Well, here it goes.

"Young Jusice: Invasion" is ending in a few days--way to state the obvious--and to be honest, I'm sorry to see it leave. I've looked forward to watching this show every Saturday--and then, later, Sunday--and it's become part of my weekend. I honestly never thought that I would get this attached to a show, but it appears that I was wrong.

Your show is, well, amazing. I used to watch "Gargoyles" when I was younger, and it was just...well, great. And then, when I heard that you were working on a new project, I was psyched. And I wasn't disappointed--"Young Justice" is probably one of the best DC cartoon shows that I've ever seen, and I've seen a ton.

You managed to put your own portrayal on characters that we had already seen, already knew, while making them recognizable and enjoyable. It's one thing to write characters that are of your own creation, but it's another thing entirely to write characters that are of another person's design.

Your--and Brandon's--work is just...amazing. Really. I've had yet to see an episode that I haven't liked, and I'm sure that the finale won't disappoint, either. Again, I'm sorry to see the show go, but I'm going to remain optimistic and hope that it'll come back, one day. (I'm looking forward to the finale, but--at the same time--I'm not looking forward to it. Does that make sense?)

...Sorry for the rambling message, though I'm not sorry to tell you how much I love your show.

Again, fantastic job.

Greg responds…

You're assuming Wally's in the loop. He's not. Obviously, the destruction of an entire mountain in Rhode Island made the news, so Wally showed up to find out what the hell was going on! But he's not receiving a daily briefing. His job in this is to go about his life, as if he's mourning his dead girlfriend. Not, literally, running around, fighting crime.

Nightwing did not invite Kid Flash to participate until the briefing that took place just before "Summit". Obviously, as soon as Nightwing called, Wally was there.

Besides, I don't see Wally moping around on the show, saying some equivalent of "Sympathize with me! Why aren't any of you sympathizing with me?!" So I'm not sure where all this attitude towards him is coming from.

Can I just say, you sound really judgmental. I'm not sure you mean to, and I'll grant that the internet both encourages this and makes tone hard to truly decipher. But that's definitely how you come across to me. I would hope our series generates a more nuanced response.

Response from a fan:

… except that it doesn't?

His hometown was nuked.

The Earth got a second moon. Blue Beetle was on the news fraternizing with the enemy. Even if it was an under-cover operation, Wally has pretty darn strong opinions how effective those are!

He "wasn't happy" with this from the beginning. "He shouldn't need you."

Dick blew up a mountain. He had the opportunity to ask to be let into the mission, and he didn't take it.

How does "you delivered my girlfriend into the hands of someone I suddenly assume is a traitor" count as not complaining?

He is leaving her in the hands of someone he doesn't trust and doesn't even OFFER to help, even at a tactical level.

I should "kill you for putting us through this"? Of course he's not actually going to kill her, but how is that not complaining??

All of those sentences are talking about the world as something that HAPPENS to him, that other people are DOING to him, like he has no ability to contribute himself.

Before this all happened, all he wanted was to go to school and keep his girlfriend safe. This, of course, doesn't make him a monster.

After an alien invasion and again, I reiterate, the nuking of his hometown, he wants exactly - exactly - the same thing. He didn't even change in the middle of that and then go back.

If he was so eager to be there "as soon as Nightwing called" then why did he put up a fuss when Artemis was called?

I'm sorry but that smacks of a double standard.

What kind of real person doesn't change after that?

What kind of real person - particularly those who have the skills to do so - doesn't want to help?

Is he really that self-absorbed? Does he really only care about one thing worth mentioning in the show?

Real people care about more than one thing.

Real people are changed by global scale events in the world around him.

With all due respect - and I mean that I have an enormous amount of respect for Greg, Grandon, and this show - I'll be more nuanced in my reaction when Wally is more nuanced in his characterization.

I've got a question about Plastic Man after the Players arc.

After Metropolis was returned to its normal size, he grew with it, to 120% (or 125%, math has never been my strong suit). He claims he doesn't mind because he's adjustable. But did the process have any effects on him in the long term? I'm asking, because in the few shots we've had of him in season two, he's always strecthed in some way, and never in his "normal" form and size.
