1. Why do the Kroloteans have different horn variations?
2. How did Ocean Master subdue Queen Mera in Issue 15 when he could not use offensive magic?
3. Is the Bio-Ship a common vehicle on Mars?
4. Do you ever get annoyed with people asking you the age of characters?
5. Whose idea was it to include classic Justice League trophies in Alienated?
Greg responds...
1. They have castes with different functions. Or put another way, why do some humans have blue eyes and some have brown. We're not all carbon copies.
2. He used defensive magic to turn her own attack back against her. Sorry, if that wasn't clear.
3. Not uncommon, but not commonplace.
4. Not annoyed. It can be a pain. Particularly now that we have so many different timeframes that they might be asking about. It increases the likelihood that I'll get confused and pull the number from the wrong place.
5. Mine, I guess. It actually goes back to a scene that was cut for time from the original script of "Independence Day" (episode 101).

Mr. Greg Weisman,
In comparison to his mainstream counterpart, could you share with us at least five things about Earth-16's new Robin (Timothy Drake) that is not already known to us/revealed by you? Again, in keeping with your stricter guidelines, please understand I am NOT asking for any sensitive "SPOILER REQUEST/NO COMMENT"-type of information whatsoever. Hopefully, whatever five things you can share with us will not fall into that category.
Thanks for taking the time to read this posting.

This is a question that recently popped into my head about a year ago. One that I've never heard asked before...
Superman like many heroes wears his suit underneath his civilian clothing but this is something that has just occurred to me.
1. When he changes where does the cape go? The thing is SO LONG it's like mid-calf.
PS: I appreciate the opportunity to be able to ask a creator of a series questions like this. It's something that I've always wanted to be able to do. Ask a creator of something that I'm a fan of why they did something, or how they felt about it. So thank you for giving us fans the opportunity to be able to have a dialogue with you. It is VERY much appreciated.
Also I hope this series is able to last past a second season and beyond, I knew when I saw the premise that it would create a fault in the fan base. Unforeseen slightly radical changes in a series usually either go love/hate. I just hope there are more fans like me out there that aren't so thrown when developments like this occur and have enough faith in creators and writers like you that you know what you're doing to wait for the smoke to clear before deciding whether they really truly like it or not. Sure Artemis, Wally, and Kaldar were missing. But the fact that they were main characters in the first season surely would mean that they wouldn't disappear without a trace and never be spoken of again. Patience is a virtue that many fans need to learn.
Greg responds...
I'm not sure Clark DOES wear his costume under his clothes all the time. He might just be a SUPER-FOLDER. I'm way more concerned about where Clark puts his glasses when he's Superman.
YOUNG JUSTICE: INVASION: ISSUE: 21: "Players: Chapter Two: Directly to Jail": On Sale: NOW!
YOUNG JUSTICE: INVASION: ISSUE: 21: "Players: Chapter Two: Directly to Jail": On Sale: NOW!
Hey gang, I'm back from Ashland. Had a great time. Saw some great plays, particularly "ALL THE WAY", a brilliant piece about LBJ, written by Robert Schenkkan (writer of The Kentucky Cycle - and a Star Trek actor to boot).
And, in the meantime, issue 21 of our companion comic book hit the stands yesterday! It's part two of our six part magnum opus that introduces our comic book readers to the cast of Invasion. It features some gorgeous art by Christopher Jones, and I'm fairly proud of the writing as well. Check it out online or wherever comic books are sold!
YOUNG JUSTICE: INVASION: EPISODE: 210: "Before the Dawn": Premieres!
YOUNG JUSTICE: INVASION: EPISODE: 210: "Before the Dawn": Premieres: this Saturday, October 13th as part of Cartoon Network's DC Nation block. (It repeats Sunday too.) Check local listings for times.
Keep in mind, this tenth episode of Season Two was plotted before we knew if we'd get the second half of the season. Once we got that pick-up, we assumed this would be our hiatus episode. Instead, we took the break after 207 (which was a great and exciting stopping point, so no complaints). But nothing changed about our story in 210. This is a significant episode on every level: plot, character and LOTS of action. Don't miss it!
I'm posting this reminder a couple days early, because I'm leaving this afternoon to head up to Ashland, Oregon for the Shakespeare Festival. But believe me, my DVR is set to record both YJ and Green Lantern.

I saw your latest episode today "Alienated".I was wondering if Kaldur'ahm and his dad are both called Black Manta or is Kaldur'ahm under another identity.
Greg responds...
There are times when Kaldur is intentionally posing as/standing in for his father, in which case, he's actively trying to fool the opposition into calling him Black Manta (or Manta for short). Other times, no such subterfuge is being attempted, and he's generally referred to as .... drumroll... Kaldur'ahm, i.e. his name. Some folks still refer to him as Aqualad, of course, which is natural.
Superboy Fan writes...
Quick question what made you decide to make superman and superboy's relationship like brothers instead of father and son; no problem with it it just seems odd, since it changed the already established "father/son" dynamic? In season 1 batman says to superman "the boy needs his father" and in alienated superman calls superboy "little brother" and in the comics they were played off as 'Cousins'.
Greg responds...
I can't speak for the comics, at all.
But I think the whole father/son thing was part of the problem for Superman. When he readjusted his thinking (sometime during the time skip) to regard Superboy as a little brother, it all straightened out fairly easily for both of them.
Ultimately, I believe in a Superman who isn't perfect, but is deep-down, fundamentally, a good guy. He may not have been ready to 'parent' a clone that was created without his knowledge or consent, but he could be a big brother to that clone.

What was Black Manta eating and drinking at the end of "Alienated"?
Greg responds...
I don't remember. Is it visible on screen?
Mirage (I had hippie parents) writes...
Greg, I have three questions for you!
1.) How did you catch the comic fan bug?
2.) If you could have dinner with any superhero, what would you serve? (dessert included)
2.)
3.) with the Avengers out soon, and the success of countless tv shows including Young Justice, What do you think it is about comic books that is so intriguing and fasinating to people?
Greg responds...
1. By reading comic books.
2. I don't know. I know the question's meant to be fun. But my brain just doesn't work like that. Sorry.
2.
3. Archetypes.
Dee writes...
1. How long has it been since Tula died?
2. How many years ago did Kaldur find out that his dad is Black Manta?
3. How long has Kaldur been working with Black Manta?
4. When and how did Aquaman know Black Manta is Kaldur's father? Since Kaldur was born?
Greg responds...
1. SPOILER REQUEST. NO COMMENT.
2. SPOILER REQUEST. NO COMMENT.
3. SPOILER REQUEST. NO COMMENT.
4. SPOILER REQUEST. NO COMMENT.
