I know he's obsessed with finding the real Speedy, but underneath his obsession, is Roy suicidal? Has he contemplated taking his own life during the past 5 years?

Greg responds...

There's a self-destructive edge, certainly. But his obsession doesn't allow for actual thoughts of suicide.

Hi Greg, First of all Im a huge fan of young justice, all production aspects of the show are mindblowing. How do you produce such a quality level product on a weekly basis is beyond me, congratulations to all of the staff for their hard work. Secondly Im a huge fan of spectacular spiderman, seeing it cancelled was so dissapointing , but even worse was the show you got replaced with , Ultimate spiderman. Now there is news of the Avengers series being cancelled , to be replaced with a show of similar tone than ultimate spiderman, with the reason that Marvel wants a show focused on stand alone episodes than storyarcs. My question is, why great shows, that respect their source material with great voice acting and stories get cancelled, while other shows that talk down to their audience and have weak story lines are still on the air? I really really hope Young Justice stays for many years to come, its an example of how good shows are made. Thank you and all your team for your efforts everyday, keep up the good work

Greg responds...

I don't have an answer... other than the BIG ALWAYS ANSWER: RATINGS.

If the Powers That Be believe that they can get better ratings in their target demographic by doing a different kind of show, that's the kind of show they'll order.

1.-Does the pouch on Lagoon boy's ankle contain anything or is it just decorative, and can he grow hair? i've noticed something that looks like a ponytail in some shots.
2-Did you give any thought to the tool on Tigress' back in her holo-mug shot?, if so would you mind sharing?
3-Is the orange suit Aquaman wears armor? because manta's laser sure ut throught it easily.

Greg responds...

1. It's not just decorative, but what he carries in there depends on what he feels he needs at any given time.

1a. No hair. That's a fin pony-tail.

2. I'm sure Phil did.

3. It's mail. But that doesn't make it invulnerable.

1-Based on his build was Bibbo ever a boxer?
2-Does the mask affect how Karen changes size-in 103 the put it on before changing but did'nt return to normal size after the blast knocked it off.
3-Regarding beast boy-would he revert back to normal(non-simian)form if rendered unconcious?,and if he can turn into ET animals, has he ever tried a dinosaur?(a yes/no will do)

Greg responds...

1. He's boxed. Also wrestled. But not professionally.

2. The blast didn't knock it off. She took it off because soot from the explosion had covered her goggles and she couldn't see. Beyond that, it feels like you answered your own question.

3a. No.

3b. He can only turn into real animals that he's had contact with.

If you find these questions in violation feel free to delete them but i will not be satisfied unless i ask
1-Why would Megan mention that she'd learned about the 16 hours while Alanna was there?-in that area the league are outlaws
2-How could the Krolotean possibly have been able to ID Karen,and Jaime in regular cloths?

Greg responds...

1. She didn't state whether the Leaguers were allies or enemies. But, having said that, I think eventually, Zeta Squad would have told Alanna and Sardath the truth of the situation.

2. He didn't identify Karen at all. And it wasn't Jaime that he identified, but he sensed that he was a Reach Warrior.

Regarding powers
1.If Lagoon boy's expansion power is magic induced and not genetic does he NOT have the power to generate and fire pufferfish quills.
2.Can the scarab armor let Jaime be under water without visible life support tools?
3.Are Kaldur's tatoos still visible?
4.Are Wonde Girls powers derived from any magic artifacts like in the original comics?

Greg responds...

1. Not on our series. At least not yet.

2. Yes.

3. Depends what he's wearing.

4. Not her powers, no. But her bracelets and lasso expands her repertoire.

Dear Greg,

Wow, the newest episode of YJ was great! I goota say, props to you and Brandon for coming up with a way to get Roy's addicted look without the addiction. Very nice. And thank you for showing Wally & Artemis, I was worried they might have switched sides or been killed or something. I thought it was sweet (and Artemis looks good in a jersey). Also, i like someone discovering the scarab talks to Jaime, and you even got in a reference to Ted Kord! Thank you! Please keep up the awesome!

First of all, as a huge fan of DC comics lore, I want to thank you so much for including so much of DC's history in your show. It makes the show so much more enjoyable for me.

I was wondering how the writers choose the characters that are showcased in the show. I noticed you included a lot of lesser known characters in the DC universe such as Lagoon Boy, Blue Beetle and so on. How do the writers pick and choose with such a huge who's who list of superheroes and supporting characters to choose from?

Greg responds...

I don't think Blue Beetle would still be considered "lesser known".

Mostly, this question is ASKED AND ANSWERED. We had a "huge... list". We gave a great deal of thought to juggling powers, backstories, personalities, etc.

First off, I just wanted to thank you for being a part of what makes superhero cartoons awesome. I'm loving Young Justice/Invasion so far, and each episode just gets better.

I've just got one random question to ask that's been on my mind:

Did Dick go through a phase of resenting being Bruce's sidekick like in some continuities or has he always been happy to be a part of the Batfamily no matter what costume he wears?

Greg responds...

I'm not saying it was always 100% conflict free, but largely they're good, and have never had a major falling out. Resentment isn't really Dick's style.

Samantha writes...

Why did Wally decide to stop being a hero? Did Nightwing try to persuade him to continue with him?

Greg responds...

1. It's complicated. There isn't one single reason, one single event. It's cumulative. It involves things that took place over the five year gap (SPOILER REQUEST. NO COMMENT.), his relationship with Artemis and his general maturing as a human being. A choice to leave behind things that seemed extremely important to him as a child - and not so important as an adult. Also, keep in mind, Wally didn't decide to stop being a hero. Wally and Artemis together decided to stop being heroes.

2. Nightwing wants what's best for his friend. I'm not saying they didn't have a conversation or two. Or six. Or whatever, but...

Legacy & Boomerang

I'm currently sitting in the Control Room at L.A. Studios while voice director Jamie Thomason records Mark Rolston as Lex Luthor for YOUNG JUSTICE LEGACY. Later today: Eric Lopez, Jesse McCartney and Cameron Bowen. More to come next week after I get back from visiting my daughter in New Orleans.

Also, James Harvey at Worlds Finest is reporting that reruns of YJ and YJ:I will be appearing on Boomerang:

2. In Season One, we cast Logan Grove to play Garfield Logan at age 8. I love Greg - he was Caleb in W.I.T.C.H. - but he was too old to play our Garfield (and that's on top of the fact that we weren't particularly inclined to cast any of the five original Teen Titans actors in their signature roles). Then in Season Two, Logan just continued on to play the 13-year-old Garfield/Beast Boy.

Dear Mr. Greg and Whoever Else May Be Credited With The Writing For "Salvage":

I absolutely loved this week's episode. "Salvage" has, in tumblr terms, provided "so many feels" for many shippers of the Spitfire (Wally/Artemis) and CheshRoy (Cheshire/Roy) pairing supporters; those "feels" were multiplied even more with the introduction of Lian.

I LOVE that Wally and Artemis are still together after 5 years and are a cute, loving couple. I LOVE that Lian has been born and that Jade seems to be doing her best to not only fix up Roy, but to have some stability in her family for the sake of her daughter. I also LOVE that she and Roy were married.

Once again, thank you. Words cannot express any more of what I am feeling, but let me just say that all throughout this morning I had to stop myself from involuntarily smiling at the thought of this episode.

Keep up the AWESOME work. :)

Greg responds...

Thank you.

OMG! I just LOVED today episode! "Salvage". I thought for sure that the hero that had "fallen from grace" would have been Kaldar considering what happened last week but I was just as glad to see Roy come back into the picture! Now everything is complete and all my questions have been answered! I know what Roy's doing and what happened to Wally and Artemis! I LOVE the fact that after 5 years that they're still together! Now my mind can rest. It's been driving me CRAZY for the last 3 weeks to know what happened to Wally and Artemis, I already knew that Kaldar would be making a showing and that he now had a Black Manta connection but not knowing what was going on with Wally and Artemis was making me nuts. I figured that they'd be in school since it didn't seam that they had passed on (some people thought that Artemis would have gone bad but I figured that that wasn't true. You went through the trouble of having this Artemis of Earth-16 go down the hero path instead of a villainess one and in "Unusual Suspects" had her reveal her family connections to her friends and her finally being able relax and find acceptance I found it highly unlikely that her future would swing the other direction...) I hope to see them again! They're so cute together!

Now I can wait for the upcoming episodes in peace. ^_~

But on to my questions these are regarding Miss Martian and Superboy and their aging processes.

Now M'Gann is approached as having been of an equivalent of "16" in season 1, and Martian Manhunter mentioned that she was 48 earth years old. Now 48 divided by 16 equals 3 so what I was wondering was:

1. Does M'Gann age at a Martian emotional and physical equivalent so that every 3 earth years of ageing and development for her is the equivalent of 1 human year? So instead of her being "21" she's more like "17 and 3/4"? Almost "18"?

Now Superboy. He was force grown to 16 years in 16-weeks, and he can't visibly age on the outside. But he can age internally / physically on the inside. So it can't be said that he's "21" like Kaldar and Wally are.

1. So does this mean that at some point internally he'll be elderly with all the negatives that with it but sill look like a 16-year-old hottie?

If so that really is a "standard blessing and curse".

2. Exactly where is his age in the emotional sense since that's the only "ageing / maturity" that would be visible?

3. How old is Superboy internally? He was force grown to 16 years in 16 weeks. So does his body think that it's 16 in season 1 and 21 in season 2 or does it read it's self as younger since he's only almost 6 chronologically?

PS: I loved the "You freshman never do the homework." Statement that Conner made.

I also noticed that in the last episode that Superman called Conner, Kon-El. That made me happy too. Although the caption on my TV said 'Conner' instead. Like in "Earthlings" when Conner says that he doesn't visibly age, the captions said physically age. Which means two entirely different things. Not visibly aging means that you can't see the aging, but that it is occurring. Not physically aging usually equates immortality.

4. Dose it annoy you when closed captions get things wrong like that?

One word that seams to give a similar impression like visible and physical can give a person 2 distinct understandings, and in this case it would be the wrong one.

Greg responds...

a. Yes, she's the biological equivalent of an 18-year-old, give or take, by Martian standards. Of course, that has nothing to do with how old she chooses to look as a shape-changer.

b. Yes.

1. Yes.

2. That's a matter of opinion.

3. I don't think his body is quite as obsessed with numbers.

c. Yes, captions are notoriously unreliable. Which is a shame. (I don't know why they don't work off the scripts.)

4. A lot.

d. Agreed.

Greg, I'm a big fan of Young Justice, and I think it's really great that you are willing to answer questions about your creations like this. I have 3 questions:

1)In "Salvage", Artemis and Wally go to school in Palo Alto. Is this meant to imply that they attend Stanford? I ask because I figure you won't be mentioning an actual university on the show.

2)Also in "Salvage", Red Arrow's apartment appears very similar to the apartment at the end of the "Under the Red Hood" movie. I'm guessing you recycled the animation to save money, but did you intend it to be a nod at the Jason Todd/Roy Harper Outlaws, or was it just coincidence?

3)In "Targets", during the scene outside Happy Harbor High School, there is a moment where 4 people wearing logos on their shirts are lined up as follows: Superman ("S"), the high school ("H"), Flash (a vertical lightning bolt), and Batman (which in this case looks a bit like a "T"). Was this meant to resemble a certain 4 letter word that would be inappropriate for a cartoon, or was it just a coincidence? I laughed when I saw it because it's pretty clever.

Anyway, thanks again for such a great show. I hope you get many more seasons!

Greg responds...

1. Yes.

2. It's the same apartment from "Auld Acquaintance".

3. I never noticed.

Voice Actor fan writes...

Hi Mr Weisman, I read your response a while back about how you pay your voice actors for their roles and after watching the episode 3 of season 2 I realized something. I noticed that Aquaman is voiced by Phil Lamar who previously voiced Green lantern John Stewart in Justice League, where as you have Kevin Michael Richardson voicing him. I was just wondering if you were aware of the fact and if, when first auditioning actors, thought about getting some of the previous actors to reprise their previous roles. I know that in some of the direct to DVD movies some of the former cast from previous works did voice the same character again.

Greg responds...

We didn't audition any Justice Leaguer except Superman. (And only him, because we wanted an actor who could play both Superboy and Superman.)

I am very aware of who played characters in the past, and we LARGELY chose to AVOID direct comparisons to previous works by NOT using the same actor in the same role. There were a few exceptions, such as Bruce Greenwood's Batman, where we felt the actor wasn't already over-identified with the part. But for the major leads from the old Justice League/Justice League Unlimited series, the truth is that if they played the role there, it all but eliminated our interest in having them play the rolls in YJ.

2. Seeing as Martians' shapeshifting occurs at a cellular level (as Miss M demonstrated in Image), does that mean they're "immune" to certain human diseases like AIDS?

Hello =) I love your show, and loved it even more since Wonder Woman and Wonder girl got a little bit more screentime, yet not as much as the superfamily or batfamily does, but still it is pleasant to watch!

Now i have got a couple of question:

1: What exactly is Cassie's powerset? I read somewhere you went with the Zeus's daughter origins. Is she as powerful as Conner Kent? Are her powers growing up as time goes by?
On a scale from 0 to 10, where are WW and WG?

Keep up the great work guys =)

Greg responds...

A scale of what? Never mind, I don't much care for numerical scales anyway.

1. Cassie can fly, and she's very strong - but not as strong as Conner. She can bounce bullets off her bracelets, but she's NOT invulnerable - else why would she NEED to bounce bullets off her bracelets. She's also very proficient with her unbreakable lasso.

Hey Greg, in the comics Icon had his own spaceship. I was wondering why, when the 6 (well, 8) leaguers go to stand trial on Rimbor, they have John Stewart create a ship from light instead of using Icon's ship? I suppose a few possibilities are that he doesn't have a ship on Earth-16 (although the line about him being familiar with interstellar law implies that he probably does have one), or that it isn't big enough for 8 people. Anyway, I was just curious to see if you had an official explanation. Thanks for taking the time to answer!

Mr. Greg Weisman,

I'd like to say that as much as I respect the old DC cartoons shows (the ones which were collectively known as the DC Animated Universe), I feel that Young Justice has, thus far, done MUCH, MUCH better in many ways (which would be too much for me too list). I am enjoyed the fact this parallel DC Universe, better known as Earth-16, is similar to the mainstream DC universe, and yet, you are always finding numerous ways to create so many unique twists in the characters and the storylines. It makes it very exciting to watch. I'll let you know that, as I might have said in some postings, that I am continuously praying to God every night that Cartoon Network be very generous to you and renew Young Justice for future seasons. A show as good as Young Justice should never, EVER, end.

Thanks for taking the time to read about how I feel about Young Justice so far. As always, keep up the great work!

Thanks for your kind words. I'd happily continue doing this series ad infinitum.

Hey Greg, big fan here! First I'd like to say that, though unexpected (and probably because of that), I really liked the time skip. I was REALLY hoping to see Tim Drake, but I thought it would take too much time and maybe the series wouldn't make it. Seeing Nightwing too is great, and the relationship the 2 'robins' have is awesome! I was very pleased with the way each Robin was approached! Hoping to see more!
So, I have a few questions, and I'm not really sure if they are spoilers because they're tricky, unclear things that may or may not be explained in the future. If they turn out to be spoilers, I sincerely apologize.
1. Does Ra's al Ghul know Batman's secret identity like he does in the comics? What about Vandal Savage (in Justice League: Doom he did, I don't know if he does in the comics)?
2. Does The Light know Roy Harper's secret identity? I'm guessing they do, but then why haven't they found out Green Arrows?
3. Are you involved in the writing of the tie-in comics?
I like the Light being so subtle, but don't they consider knowing their enemies identites as a means to destroy or at least having advantage over them? The classic 'hurt the loved ones' move in case they're desperate? It probably wasn't their plan and it turned out well against Kaldur! I would certainly consider it! Thanks!

Hi Greg:

I have a few questions that pertain particularly to Amazo. As I believe his story is over, I'm hoping none of these questions will run afoul of the spoiler rules.

1. Amazo's powers appear to be based on technology (when he replicated the Canary cry, there was a sonic cannon in his mouth. Given this, would he have been able to replicate powers that are hard to replicate with technology, such as the Green Lantern ring, Martian Manhunter's telepathy (he didn't mind-read Superboy's intentions when he was accessing Martian Manhunter), or Zatarra's incantations?

2. It was never shown on-screen, but does Amazo also have the attendant weaknesses when he is accessing a specific hero (say, Kryptonite to Superman or fire to Martian Manhunter)?

3. Given that Professor Ivo was revealed to be a Light agent, why didn't he build more Amazos to do all that work on Rimbor? Wouldn't it have been easier to do so, than to try to infest the League and the Team?

4. The Amazo display in the Hall of Justice museum (in Alienated) has an intact head. Is this a replica of the original? If it is a benign replica, why is it shown in a disassembled state?

Thanks!

1. These are fair questions, but I'm not sure I know the answer. But I'm going to say... yes, some powers are more difficult to copy than others. For example, even though he encountered Green Arrow, we didn't show him shooting arrows... because he didn't have access to a bow.

2. I'm going to say no. Unless the weakness is inherent in the power, i.e. density-shifting around an invulnerable solid object.

3. How is that easier let alone convincing?

4. It's the real thing. So obviously, another Amazo was built during the timeskip.

Do you find it as annoying as I do when people ask if Atlantians eat fish? I mean they live in the freakin OCEAN for cryin out loud...thats like asking "do Americans eat land mamals?"

Not so much a question, but a plea...if its not already decided on, please dont make Beast Boy vegitarian...most animals are preditory, it seems to me his conection to animals would enhance his carniverous Human traites, as Humans are primarily meat eaters.

Greg responds...

1. It seems like an odd question to me, for the reasons you state. But it doesn't rise to the level of annoyance.

2. Hmmm. You make a good point. But I could see it go either way.

Two questions
1- has the term 'meta(human)' ever been used to describe a superpowered being on E-16?
2-Is this BeastBoy a vegetarian like most other versions of him?

Greg responds...

1. It's only now coming into vogue. The Kroloteans and the Reach basically introduced the term "Meta" to this context.

2. I'm gonna say... yes.

In Season 1's "Infiltrator", I noticed that Miss Martian's eyes glowed red while she lifted Kid Flash out of the pool. So far in Season 2, her eyes are glowing green whenever she uses her powers.

My questions:

1) Does a red glow mean telepathic inexperience?

2) Can her teammates see the colour of the eye glow as well? Or is it used to tell the audience that she's using her powers?

Greg responds...

1. Um... maybe.

2. Yes, they can.

Hi Greg,

I find it extremely out of character for Batman not to say anything after M'gann lobotomized that Krolotean right in front of him. What's up with that?

Greg responds...

You're assuming a lot.

Greetings people of the past. I am from 5 years in your future. I traveled to this backwater time period to warn you of the perils you will face in the next 75 months. I cannot go into the specifics on what led to this tumultuous point in human history. But I have traced the cause and have determined that it was the unfortunate decision to skip 5 years ahead in the Young Justice cartoon. The International League of 'Shippers will launch a massive attack on The Legion of Timeskip Apologists and the resulting battles will tear the DC Nation apart. There will be mass hysteria. People painting finger stripes on their hands. People holding large crowds hostage at Power Ring point until Weisman and Vietti tells them, once and for all, the exact age, astrological signs and favorite foods of everyone in the DC Universe. The streets will run red (blue, yellow, purple, green and sometimes puce) with cartoon ink. It will be CHAOS. Skip backwards 5 years in the Young Justice storyline before all is lost and may The Spectre have mercy on your souls. (Drink Slurm™)

Greg responds...

I'm probably less amused than you were hoping I'd be.

You must see that even if Brandon and I suddenly agreed that the timeskip was a mistake - and we don't - there was literally NO WAY at the time you posted this that we could have taken it back. Not unless you didn't want to see ANY episodes for another year.

That's not me being an "Apologist". That's just me stating facts. We did the timeskip. We liked the timeskip. By the time you found out about it, it was way too late to do anything but go forward. WAY to late.

And of course, as of this moment, literally the entire first two seasons are now in the can. DONE. FINITO. No turning back now. And by the way, I wouldn't want to.

I searched through many of the unanswered questions using the Find-feature and couldn't find this one so forgive me if you'd already answered it by now, but:

If Roy Harper's clone was Speedy for 3 years before becoming Red Arrow, this me means he must have been 14-to-15 when he replaced the original Roy Harper. In YJ:I, we learned through Superboy that the Cadmus clones cannot age. So how did Roy Harper's clone go from being approximately 14/15 to the 17/19 year old we know as Red Arrow? All this while Superboy spent 5 years without aging.

Can Red Arrow age? If so, what makes him different than Superboy?

Greg responds...

NO, we did NOT learn "that the Cadmus clones cannot age". We learned that SUPERBOY doesn't visibly age. That's a result of his specific origins. It has nothing to do with the various clones of Roy Harper.
