1. How old is Sardath?

2. How old is Alanna?

3. When you're creating the YJ characters, do you think about what ages they are first or do you think about their overall personality/character and then give an appropriate age suited to their traits?

Greg responds...

As of December 31st, Team Year FIVE:

1. Sardath is the human equivalent of a 58-year-old.

2. Alanna is the human equivalent of a nineteen-year-old.

3. The latter, generally.

I have some questions regarding the episode, Earthlings.

1. I noticed there were no subtitles when the Rannian language was spoken. I am curious, what were Adam, Alanna, Sardath and the Rannian police saying in the Rannian language throughout the episode?

2a. Does Sardath know that Alanna has a crush on Adam?

2b. If so, how does he feel about it? Does he accept his daughter's liking for Adam or is he against it or entirely neutral about it?

3. Does Adam have a crush on Alanna as well?

4. Do Rannians age the same rate as humans?

Greg responds...

1.

Alanna: A-dahm! A-dahm! [Adam! Adam!]

Alanna: Ol fao aeli vier qu, A-dahm! [It is good to see you, Adam!]

Adam: Sardath-Cho, Alanna… olf fao Miss Martian, Superboy ul Beast Boy… leps Urth. [Honorable Sardath, Alanna… these are Miss Martian, Superboy and Beast Boy… from Earth.]

Sardath: Lam talsa, "Urth-lingz". Fao A-dahm ililoc qu duss maol ao Apic-Zeta? [Greetings, Earthlings. Did Adam tell you what happened with the Zeta-Beam?]

Science Patrolman: Thom-Ranagari tho faor doh-heger! Vier glusten! [We cannot allow the stranger to escape. Keep searching.]

Science Patrolman: Tomtel! [Don't move!]

Alanna: Duss? Qu ililoc Urth-lingz?! [What? You're speaking Earthling?!]

Sardath: Duss maol? Fao tertel bu ael? [What happened? Is my daughter all right?]

Alanna: Ba sistris qu, Mis Mar-shawn. Su-pear-bo sistris qu emsec… [I'm worried about you, Miss Martian. Superboy is too.] {I think this line might have been cut for time.}

Alanna: Ba lalto onamao ol dol qu wake up! [It would really help if you would wake up!]

2a. It's hard to miss.

2b. SPOILER REQUEST. NO COMMENT.

3. It's hard to miss.

4. SPOILER REQUEST. NO COMMENT.

Why is Rocket in the Justice League in YJ: Invasion? The conversation between her and Icon in the Season One episode "Usual Suspects" suggested/implied that she was going to stay on The Team.

Greg responds...

Yes, five years ago - at age 15, she was quite happy on the Team. Five years later, at age 20, she was offered a spot in the League and took it. These two things are not incompatible.

Mr Weisman, I have a few questions regarding the dynamics in Young Justice:
1. Who was Rocket closest to on the team (in a best friend way)?
2. Are Beast Boy and Lagoon Boy good friends?
3. Nightwing aside, who on the Team is Tim closest to?

Greg responds...

1. If you mean in episodes 125 and 126, I'd say Zatanna. If you mean beyond that: SPOILER REQUEST. NO COMMENT.

2. Good enough.

3. SPOILER REQUEST. NO COMMENT.

I am an Aquaman fan and am a bit disappointed to see Aqualad MIA so far this season, but I'm keeping my fingers crossed. When we last saw Mera she was two months pregnant. If the pregnancy and delivery went well, there is a 4-to-5 year old heir to the throne around somewhere. (Arthur, Jr.(?) if she had a boy).

1. Were you aware that the original Aquababy was 5 years old when he died?

2. Are you familiar with the outstanding blog, www.AquamanShrine.com?

Thanks

Greg responds...

1. It's immaterial.

2. I am now. I was interviewed by them recently.

And by now, I think you know that we're hardly low on Kaldur'ahm this season.

Chris writes...

1) In an earlier interview you had mentioned that the first episode of season 2 had a character you really enjoyed writing. Now that episode has aired are you willing to reveal which character that was?

2) I hope this isn't considered a spoiler question. Would legal issues arise in using characters like Behemoth and his Gargoyle clan from JLA Showcase 1? Or are parody/homage characters like that useable in Young Justice? (Just using them as an example. The question is in regard to all similar characters.)

Greg responds...

1. G. Gordon Godfrey.

2. That would be really weird to me. But I'm not a lawyer, and I don't know if "It feels weird" is a legal term.

Mr. Greg Weisman,

Seeing as you have stricter guidelines, I figured I try something different today.

Can you tell us at least five things that the Earth-16's version of Wonder Girl have in common with her mainstream counterpart? Please understand that I am NOT asking for any sensitive "SPOILER REQUEST"-type of information (aka. the BIG details)whatsoever.

Thanks for taking the time to read this posting.

Greg responds...

I don't see how this isn't just another way to get a Spoiler.

HI GREG!

I heard down the grapevine you're a fan of Joss Whedon.

1.) Have you gotten to see the Avengers film yet?

2.a) If so, did you draw any inspiration from it, seeing as it's in the same "super-hero ensemble" genre you write (so well) for?

2.b) What modern works (be they film, television, literature, art, or not at all) do you draw inspiration from? Or just like?

3.) Over your career, you're written generally high-concept stories. Now more than ever, it seems like high-concept stuff has entered the mainstream (aliens, super-heroes and giant transforming robots running around everywhere). Since everyone's playing in the same sandbox artistically, does that make it more difficult to come up with original ideas? Without subverting or straight-up parodying the genre you're writing in?

4.) How do u rite so gudd? What would you recommend to new, ambitious writers, to help us learn to write with confidence and voice and stuff?

5.) Your decision to skip ahead 5 years (in YJ) shocked me, upset me and piqued my interest. I've never seen a show jump so much time, so I'm very excited to see how you all bridge the two season together. How did you let the studio powers-that-be let you take such a big narrative risk? Was it a big struggle?

Thanks for (presumably) taking the time to read and answer my questions. I love that Ask Greg makes it so easy to reach out to an artist I admire, whose work I respect. I'm the biggest fan ever of everything you've ever done, yadda yadda more accolades, etc. But really, you are an inspiration.

Greg responds...

1. Yes.

2a. We were WAY done by the time I'd seen the movie.

2b. Check out the "INFLUENCES" archive here at ASK GREG.

3. I'm not sure you're defining "High Concept" correctly. I think you mean "genre" has entered the mainstream. In any case, I just don't think in those terms. I'm just trying to tell good stories.

4. READ the classics. WRITE a lot. Proofread scrupulously. Get yourself VERY educated. Read newspapers. Etc. Or check the ASK GREG archives for a more complete answer.

5. No struggle. Everyone loved the idea.

Questions about the episode "Earthlings".
1.Is it fun having Beast Boy in the show with having his abilities of animal shape shifting?
2. Can Beast boy only turn into animals he's seen? Or if he concentrates on the form can he turn into them?
3. I noticed that when Beast Boy was looking at the alien bird it was only his head that changed. Can I safely assume that Beast can also change certain parts of his body?
4. Can Beast Boy stay in a sort of in between stage when turning into animals?
Loving YJ so far! Keep it up!

Greg responds...

1. Yes, it is.

2. He has to have seen and made physical contact with them.

3. Yes, though he doesn't make a habit of it.

4. In theory.

A Young Justice Fan writes...

So I've been keeping up with Young Justice: Invasion again, and I've noticed Beast Boy mainly only turns into animals. Now I remember Megan didn't have this limitation, and seeing as Garfield's powers came from Megan, it's a bit confusing as to why he would have the limitation when the source didn't.

So I guess my question is: Why is Beast Boy only limited to animals when Megan isn't?

Thanks for your time. :)

Greg responds...

It's complicated.
