I just wanted to tell you I am in love with this show!!!
I have 2 questions.
1. I noticed in S1 in episode Downtime, Black Manta called his troops Gamma Squad, Beta Squad and the new team in Season 2 does the same thing. Was this coincidence? I'm sure if its not I will find out before you get a chance to answer :)
2. If you get a season 3(I know there will be a time skip I'm completley fine with it) how long before the fans will know if it is renewed?
And again thanks for making such a great show I love it!!!
Greg responds...
1. It's not a coincidence. Good catch.
2. I can't comment on this.
EXALT writes...
In Season Two, the average age of the members of the Team seems to have augmented: was this intentional, or it was just a coincidence?
Greg responds...
"Augmented"?

It has been confirmed for a very long time that next year there will be a new batman series for DC nation. But recent information says there will also be a new Teen Titans go series[which is supposed to be comedy heavy..not sure how I feel about that. And it looks like its animation went very down]
Anyway my point is next year 2013 if those two shows will be on DC nation block what does that mean for Young Justice? Will DC nation be extended to two hours. Or maybe every week they will switch up the shows?
Greg responds...
I can't comment on this.

Can Zatanna Learn Atlantean Sorcery?
Greg responds...
Perhaps she could adapt to it. (It hasn't come up.)
Spencer writes...
Does Mal Duncan have powers like he did in the comics or is he just support staff for the team
Greg responds...
The latter.
Spencer writes...
In invasion how much older did Miss Martian biologically get get biologigly, did she just grow 1 1/4 years or did did she grow 5 years
Greg responds...
"biologically get get biologigly"?
Anyway, if we're talking her Martian base form, she matured 5 years divided by 3.

Is G. Gordon Godfrey's "Bonehead List" based on Anderson Cooper's "RidicuList?"
Greg responds...
Not specifically. But it's all in that "News Commentator" family.

A few more questions, this time about Bumblebee:
1. Does she only have the two "modes"...regular size & "bee" size, or like Atom, can she be any size in between?
2. do her wings only allow flight at reduced size? Thats the only time weve seen her fly.
3. Why does she have electric "stingers"? Real Bumblebees dont sting. The sonic blasters she used in her origional comics appearance made more sense to me than the newer idea of electrical.
Thanks.
Greg responds...
1. In theory, her suit is capable of shrinking to any size, but Atom has put safety locks on it, so that she basically only has one size she can shrink to, at least for the time being.
2. Yes. Wings only show up when she shrinks.
3. And REAL bumblebees have sonic stings?

What is the origin of Superboy's kryptonian name on YJ?
Greg responds...
SPOILER REQUEST. NO COMMENT.
Ivan Alms writes...
How would Lexington react to all the alien technology we've seen in Younh Justice: Invasion? Would he be all giddy like a schoolgirl?
Greg responds...
Shrug. I guess.
An iPhone would probably make him salivate.
Reiena Grayson writes...
I was just thinking about George Eads.
I loved him on CSI, and when I found out he was voicing Barry/Flash, I was happy to see him working on something that dealt with DC Comics.
Really my question is, what was it like working with him, and what was your reason for choosing him as Barry. I love Flash in this, and well my curiosity is getting the best of me.
Greg responds...
George was great. We cast him - frankly - to type. George is this midwestern good looking hero type, who plays a CSI operative on television. That's just Barry all over. As Flash said, "I was CSI before anyone ever heard of CSI."
JAC writes...
To elaborate on my last post...if you go back & change something, then there would be no reason to go back, therefore you never did, and nothing changes...ie. Bart would have to have been from a future in which Impulse had already arrived from the future 40 years ago, and the changes he made would be a part of his own.
history.
I swear, its not as complicated as it sounds.
Greg responds...
Wow. I'm sure you don't mean to sound as condescending as you're coming across. I totally understood what you were getting at. And again, it's the way I prefer to handle time travel stories. BUT AT THE END OF THE DAY, IT'S STILL A FICTIONAL CONCEIT. As long as we're being internally consistent about the rules of time travel on Young Justice, then I think we're fine.
JAC writes...
Mr. Greg,
I have full faith that you know what your doing, but I have to ask...how in the heck is future Neutron aware of the changes to the timestream if his entire criminal career never happened? For that matter, how/why did Impulse even travel back in time if the events that led him there never happened?
Time travel is only confuseing to those without common sense...its pretty cut-and-dry: if you go back in time & do something, thats what happened all along (there are really no such things as paradoxes), because if it didint, then there would be no reason to go.
Do you plan to rectify this plot hole, or just leave it as another "artistic liberty" for people to accept?
That may have sounded kind of snarky, but without some kind of "events have crrated an alternate universe," or other valid explanation, it seems kind of insulting to the intelligence of viewers when TV shows use time travel so flippently.
Thank you for your time.
Greg responds...
I'm sympathetic. This is NOT my favorite way to depict time-travel, as any regular viewer of GARGOYLES knows. (And there ARE such things as paradoxes, but some are WORKING PARADOXES and some are NON-WORKING PARADOXES. Otherwise, you're defining the word "paradox" too narrowly.)
But in the DC Universe, there are certain time travel conceits built in, and fairly irrevocably so.
But I tried to at least maintain a certain "BACK TO THE FUTURE" (first movie) consistency about it, at least. Neutron was close to the locus of the time machine's ground zero. So I can buy the idea that his memory lasts a little longer, as he probably was exposed to chronaton radiation. And Impulse is now part of the revised time stream.
I don't think we're being flippant. (And I do think you're being snarky, frankly, as you are basically stating that if we don't do time travel the way YOU like it done, we are insulting the intelligence of our audience. I don't buy that.)
Since - to our knowledge - time travel is an ENTIRELY fictional conceit - the fact that we're handling it (by strict rules) in a way that doesn't suit you (or even me) doesn't make it "wrong".
(The irony of course is that I spent years defending the strict, strict rules of Gargoyles' time travel, and now I find myself defending the flip side.)

Freckles don't just disappear with age. Where have Wally's beautiful freckles gone? Is he covering them with makeup?
Greg responds...
Actually, sometimes freckles DO disappear with age. I've seen it.
And, no, Wally's not using make-up.
Rebecca writes...
Does G. Gordon Godfrey work for Fox News?
Greg responds...
No. For GBS.
dude writes...
Why aren't the minority cast fully flesh out as the white cast?
Greg responds...
I reject the premise of your question. (And I'm not the only one who rejects it. Just a few questions back, someone was praising us on this very point.)
louis writes...
WHY have you introduced Impulse on the show? Now Kid Flash goes even more for a loser .... and yes it may not go as fast as Flash and even his grand-son is better than him
Greg responds...
Can you see me shaking my head sadly?
Kid Flash is not a loser. Never was. Isn't now. If max speed defines who the winners and losers are than Nightwing must be a real loser, because he's slower than all of them.
Drew writes...
1 How high is Mt Justice?
Greg responds...
Not too high these days, I'm afraid.
(I'm sincerely curious. Was this a factoid you truly wanted to know, or were you just looking to ask a question that hadn't yet been asked?)
Anonymous writes...
Was that cop in Central City in Bloodlines Fred Chyre or Darryl Frye?
Greg responds...
I don't know.
Impulses writes...
Hi,
First off I loved Bloodlines but I have a few questions. First off Does Bart AKA Impulse have the same aging problem he has in the comics? Secondly How old is Impulse? And lastly what is the mode?
Greg responds...
1. No.
2. When he left the future, he was 13.
3. If you don't know by now, SPOILER REQUEST. NO COMMENT.
J31 writes...
Have you ever coinsidred making another blog?(this one is kinda backed up.
Is it a nightmare when you see all the questions in the unanswered section,or does it make you feel nice knowing you have so many loyal fans?
Greg responds...
1. How would THAT help?!
2. Not a nightmare. Occasionally overwhelming. And it is nice (most of the time) to see that folks are watching/reading/giving a damn.
AXE writes...
1. Did Neutron really say his name during the fight or did Bart just say he did to cover the fact he(Bart) knew his(Neutron) name?
2. Bart's Comicon line made no sense in context it's a wasteland, so why was it in there?
3. Was it planned that Superboy and Ms. Martian who used to date, and have been in every episode since their debut would miss their first episode in the series consecutavlly? or was it a "coincidence"?(i've watched enough of your shows to know you always plan it out in advance)
Greg responds...
1. The latter.
2. The present is not a wasteland. That's what he was referring to.
3. Who appears in an episode is a function of story. (And to a much lesser extent, budget.)
JB writes...
1. Did Jay try to help Barry in the original timestream?
2. Was it Difficult doing the fast fowarded speech between Barry and Bart?
3.Were the actors actually saying anything during the talk between Wally and the officer, or was it just to fill in the reason the guy asked "You getting any of this?"
4. Was Neutron always Bald?, if not what was his hair color?
Greg responds...
1. It's moot.
2. Not particularly.
3. Yes, they're speaking.
4. Probably not.
4a. I don't know.
Beth Y. writes...
My sister and I LOVE Young Justice, but she has to work on Saturday mornings and has missed "Beneath" and "Bloodlines." We don't have Tivo or DVR and she is strictly against illegal downloading of any kind and neither of the episodes is on demand or on the CN website. Most fans we know that watch them late download them from places we don't think are legal (though we haven't done enough thorough research to be sure). Do you know where she could watch the episodes legally without having to pay $3 an episode for them on iTunes?
Greg responds...
I don't. Sorry. Have you thought about investing in an old style VHR. I bet you could get a second hand one on the cheap.
Malcolm writes...
Just a quick question for ya Greg. In Season 1 we had Black Canary train the team and in a way her pet project was Superboy. Does Dinah still train the team in Invasion or has Conner taken over that aspect of the Team?
Greg responds...
Canary still trains the Team on occcasion, but they're much more autonomous now, and Nightwing covers much of it.
