Good evening Mr Weisman
I just wanted to thank you for the wonderful series of Young Justice, it is quiet rare for me to enjoy a series much less become so absorbed by the characters. I usually stick to my books. I have been a fan of The Batfamily for a while now and think the way your take on the characters are amazing. I love how Dick has matured into the adult he is and how Tim is quiet, I have read a few of the other questions about how quiet Tim is but to be honest I like that he is as he strikes me as the think before I talk kind of person. I was so incredibly happy when Jason was mentioned as not many shows do that so for me that was a huge bonus. I must admit in the first season Fireworks when Robin said 'Pass! Batcave's crowded enough.' I was already picturing Tim and Jason there.
I do have two questions for you and if they are spoilers I am very sorry.
1) Why are there no finger stripes on the Nightwing suit? I know many shows don't do them anymore but I was wondering why. Are they impractical or did you just not want to add them?
2) Did Barbara always know that Dick was Robin or did she find out after she became Batgirl? If that is a spoiler then
I am sorry.

Greg responds...

1. That's really a question for Phil Bourassa.

2. She didn't ALWAYS know.

Followup question from a few months ago -- I asked: "Okay, so the League definitely knows that Lex Luthor is a member of the Light at this point. So how's he getting away with openly running a major corporation?" You answered: "How do they stop him?"

To which I suggest: Violence (a la Arsenal)? Sabotage? Leveraged takeovers? Filing with the SEC? Large-scale theft of office supplies?

Right, yes, being a bit silly here, obviously. (just a bit.) And superheroes don't go beyond the law, of course (well, err, past the whole being-vigilantes thing). Still - just curious as to how Luthor has managed to pull off his whole villain-with-good-publicity schtick. And why hasn't Batman and/or the team tried hitting Luthor's bottom line at some point? Wouldn't it make sense strategically, given that they're the League's dirty-business department?

Greg responds...

Again, I ask "How"?

Look, you're assuming they're doing nothing, which is not a safe assumption. We aren't depicting the "ALL-ENCOMPASSING ADVENTURES OF THE JUSTICE LEAGUE" on our series. We're showing you the "SELECTED ADVENTURES OF THE TEAM". We're telling a specific story. Not even pretending to cover every facet of Earth-16, although believe me, given enough episodes or issues or WHATEVER, I'd love to try.

Why don't I appear in more episodes? I am drop dead gorgeous. I have the sexiest/most bad ass voice of all women, and I could bring all of the male heroes to their knees (or am I assuming too much?). I should rule the entire Eath-16, not just some dusty wasteland. You are hereby enthralled to place me as the rightful star of you show.

Greg responds...

Doesn't work long distance.

But seriously, this raises an issue that's relevant for literally every character in the series, I'd warrant. No matter how much screen time we devote to any single character, there will be someone out there who wants more. And no matter how little screen time we devote to any one character, there will be someone out there who wants less. There's just no way we can give every character as much screen time as we'd like - let alone as much as every single fan would like. It's just not possible. So, particularly in Season Two, story is dictating screen time. You may not care for our decisions, but they weren't made thoughtlessly.

I know you've said you can't actually show LGBT characters on the show, but I think I saw you said that there was one who was just closeted. Would you ever "out" this character outside the show itself? Or would you not be allowed to? I think it's pretty horrible that you aren't allowed to have LGBT characters, it's the 21st Century and considering how isolating being young and gay can be, with no role models it can be incredibly difficult! But I understand this is not your fault.

Greg responds...

We show LGBT characters on the show all the time. We just can't acknowledge it. There's a difference. And I never said the LGBT characters on the show were closeted. I never said anything one way or the other about whether or not they were closeted - or at least, I don't remember saying anything about it. A character like Marie Logan can be out as far as she's concerned, without mentioning it out loud on the series.

And, there. I think I've just answered your question. (See also: Lexington.)

hi, first i wanted to tell you that i love young justice.
but i had a question about the terms meta gene and meta human. i learn greek at school (old greek). and i learned the word μετα (sounds like meta). it means "with" or "before". and i was wondering, does this has to do something with the terms "meta human" and "meta gene" in young justice?

Greg responds...

I honestly don't know. These were both existing DC Universe terms that we brought into the series from the comics. It's a really good question though. When I think of the term meta-fiction, it certainly means something entirely different to me than the way DC (and we) have been using meta. I don't know who came up with the term in the first place, but I wonder if they weren't confusing meta- with mega- or something. But maybe I'm missing something.

YOUNG JUSTICE: INVASION: EPISODE: 218: "Intervention": Premieres!

It's now or never: can the Team rescue and redeem Blue Beetle - over the somewhat impressive objections of Green Beetle and the Reach?!! We're in the home stretch, now, folks. Every episode counts toward the ultimate future of the human race!!

Watch "Intervention" on DC Nation, this coming Saturday, March 2nd, 2013 (and rerunning Sunday, March 3rd, 2013), along with another episode of Green Lantern and more DC Nation Super-Hero shorts. For times, check local listings. But don't miss it!

How would you nominate the Reach's speech pattern? Why do they say "gratitude" and "appologies" instead of "thank you" and "sorry"? It reminds me of Spartacus. What kind of speech pattern is that? Regal?

Greg responds...

"Nominate"?

Anyway, it reminds me of Spartacus too. Probably because I more or less ripped Spartacus off, cuz I thought it was cool.

But in theory, they're just translating their speech patterns from their native language.

Why couldn't Miss Martian remember she could phase through doors in Before the Dawn?

Greg responds...

It's not that she couldn't remember. It's that, in general, she was in shock. And she couldn't focus on anything.
