"Satisfaction" was great -- the writing, acting, directing and animation all melded to form a very visceral and dramatic piece.

Quick question -- the hospital scene was beautifully written and acted and I thought the storyboarding also played a huge part in getting the emotions across. I was wondering who boarded that particular scene -- it really sticks out in the entire YJ canon so far.

Again -- wonderful work! YJ just keeps getting better.

How did Blue Beetle adopt the name in YJ?

I really enjoyed "Satisfaction", and the show in general thus far. I did have one question though:

At the beginning of the episode, Roy Harper says "the sidekicks formed their own team", which sounded (to me, at least) like he was familiar with Wally and Kaldur. But, when he was abducted, the only active sidekick at the time was Robin. How does he know the other two sidekicks? I'm sure there is a simple explanation that I'm overlooking. Anyway, great show! I really enjoy the way you work characters from different eras and continuities into a single universe.

I'm not surprised that Roy accepted the robotic arm part from Lex. Lex does what he does best after all. But how do we know that Lex didn't just have that arm part rigged in the event that Roy tries to take out Lex?

Hi Greg :) What was Jason Todd's designation number?? I'm guessing it's B12. Thanks ;)

Does Tornado still live in the cave as den mother and does Black Canary still train the team? Or are those the "senior" members jobs now?

So, we're back, and how. Loved it, though I'm curious who Raquel's marrying. Noble? Is Amistad his?

I can ask a lot more about Satisfaction or the recent comics, but everyone will have those. So instead, I'll just do some questions on obscurity of characters.

1. Amber Joyce - If I've done my research correctly, she was a blonde actress with precognitive powers. What made you decide to use her as a pilot rather than someone else who has a more fitting background (like, say, Deanna Barr or Celia Forrestal or something?)
2. Jeremiah - was your choice to go for him instead of (for example) Starshine Stone a matter of personal favoritism, SPOILER REQUEST, or did the availability of male and female voice ranges for the episode play a role?
3. Jeremiah and Noor Harjavti both had their only comic appearance in the same issue. The same goes for Singh Mahn Lee and the nation of Bwunda. Was it deliberate, coincidence, or did you/your staff/your researcher just came across one in search of the other and thought "We can use this"?
4. You mentioned in an earlier answer you included a WildStorm character, but in such a way that the legal department wouldn't recognize it. You're obviously not going to tell us who you were talking about, but can you point in a general direction (Gen 13? Authority? StormWatch? Tranquility?)

This is something I've been meaning to ask for awhile:

How do you decide to credit a character? Is it which "identity" they spend more time in? In Alienated, Kaldur is referred to more by his name, but he's credited as Aqualad.

Regarding Kaldur, does he go by another identity while out in the field? Is he just "Kaldur" to the Manta troopers, or do he and his father share it depending on who's leading the troopers?

How'd you guys settle on the Invasion storyline? Was it something you naturally felt drawn to, or were there others you thought about pursuing?

Jason Todd's known for not only being the most disliked Robin, but never being in any DC cartoon canon, barring Under the Red Hood. So I'm happy that you guys have brought him in.

It's been a great season so far, and I'm very interested to see where you're going with all of this.

Just saw "Satisfaction." It's great that YJ is back. It strikes me that Luthor is acting a lot like Xanatos in this episode. Now the characters are of course similar, but some traits seem particularly like Xanatos. The comment about buying a quality desk seemed very Xanatos. The comment about revenge being for suckers is undoubtedly something Xanatos would say (my memories rusty, but Xanatos may have said those exact words.) Actually, I always considered one of the differences between Luthor and Xanatos is that Luthor would want revenge. Now as character who has been written by different people for decades there's bound to be differences in character. Hell, Luthor originally was a mad scientist, not a corporate executive.

I guess I'm asking do you seem the resemblence between Luthor as you write him and was the similarites intentional?

Thank you for young justice. Not only did it get me into DC comics, but also I now have a best friend thanks to our mutual love of YJ.
I also have a question though:
Why do a lot of important events happen in New Orleans? As a native New Orleanian, I love it. Was that a choice that was just a happenstance, a love of the city on your part, a secret alien base as yet undisclosed, a magic base that is actually the center of earth-16?(or is it simply because having fights in the float factory is an opportunity one should never pass up?)
