In the episode Before the Dawn, was the big bad Blue Beetle of the future played by Eric Lopez, or by someone else?

Greg responds...

Eric.

As more and more teenage superheroes join The Team in Young Justice, would it be safe to say that the members of The Team treat each other more as if they were family to one another instead of just treating each other like mere fellow teammates?

Greg responds...

I'm not sure what the "more and more" part has to do with that equation. "Family" is a metaphor in this situation anyway. So the answer is both.

I hope this isn't taken as an insult...but I really appreciate how the women are designed in Young Justice so that they're not all "flawless" looking. The reason I can't get more of my girl friends into comic stuff is because they feel like they objectify women by making it all about their appearances and not about their strength as heroes. However, in Young Justice, the characters are still beautiful but in their own individual ways and not the cookie cutter fan boy fantasy way. Was that a conscious effort?

Greg responds...

To the extent we've been successful at this, I'm going to say yes. But not just with the female characters. With the male characters too. And to be fair to most comics, I think the cookie cutter works both ways there too. Women aren't the ONLY characters being idealized.

Hi! This really isn't a question but more of a praise session. Thank you so much Mr. Weisman for your work with Young Justice. The show, like Gargoyles, has kept me at the edge of my seat every week and leaves me begging for more. Keep up the good work and best wishes.

Greg responds...

See, you just fed my ego and assuaged my insecurities. Thanks.

Mr. Greg Weisman,

I understand that since Young Justice became a part of the DC Nation Block, you decided not to use a 20 second intro during Season Two, as it was normally done for the majority of the Season One episodes. If you had been able to use a 20 second intro for Young Justice: Invasion, how exactly would the sequence have gone in comparison to the 20 second intro that was used in Season One? In other words, what would the differences have been between the two openings?

Thanks,
CGYJ

I have some questions regarding the "Artemis" death timeline. It seems to have progress rather quickly.

She "dies" late in the night on the 19th of March, early in the morning of the 20th it's revealed that she's alive, and on the 21st Wally takes her mother to her "grave".

It just all seams really fast. I mean REALLY fast.

Now given that Artemis was taken under the wings of Oliver/Green Arrow and Bruce/Batman I can see a monument/grave marker being put up in her honor that quickly; but what dose Artemis' mother think happened to her?

I mean she's not dead so what proof was her mother given that she died other than the team and the league's word?

Was she shown a body that was a stand in for Artemis?

Or did she just take the word of the team and the league that her daughter was gone and didn't ask to see her?

It just seams odd that she wouldn't ask to see her daughter's body; though given how she "died" (in the line of duty) I don't see them going through a M.E. even if she really had been killed.

How are hero's that die in the line of duty taken care of anyway? Getting a death certificate issued without revealing that they were heroes?

Greg responds...

I'll admit it all happened fast. But what makes you think Paula didn't see a body?

As for death certificates, I haven't actually given it much thought. But that doesn't seem too difficult a problem to surmount.

I've noticed in La'gaan's design, he has lots of markings all over his body. The ones on his arms and the two on his head are fins of a sort I'm guessing, right? But the ones on his shoulders , chest and legs, are those markings or tattoos? Also, is the middle one on his head hair?

Greg responds...

His tattoos are all invisible except when he's using his powers. So I assume you're talking about his natural markings. He has no hair, though he has fins that look hair-like, I guess.

I'm really glad you included Tim Drake but so far it seems like he serves no purpose in the show...as I'm writing this half the season has passed and he's had maybe 10 lines and they've all been mission related. I mean, you gave his special relationship with the Super Cycle to Superboy, his friendship with Impulse to Blue Beatle, I don't see that brotherly relationship with Nightwing they had in the comics, he lets Batgirl take charge, and we haven't even seen him speak to Batman at all. At certain times in Before the Dawn it was so awkward that he didn't say a word. It left me wondering if you have to pay the voice actor $1000000 a word or something...Hopefully this has changed by the time you answer this :) Other than that this has been yet another awesome season of an awesome show and I hope there are going to be many more

Greg responds...

Not everyone is a lead. Tim is a supporting character. That's just how it is. He's not the only one either. I don't truly agree with your assessment that he's had nothing to do, serves no purpose and has said only ten mission-related lines. I assume even you know you're exaggerating for effect. I think we have shown his relationship to Dick. I think we've hinted at other things as well, and will continue to do so.

His voice actor doesn't cost us anymore than any other voice actor - and I'm sure Cameron Bowen would agree with you that Robin doesn't get to speak enough - but he does cost money, so if he doesn't have much to say in an already crowded episode, we will reduce, say, one or two lines down to zero to give us some budgetary breathing room.

I suppose we could have simply not introduced him, but our timeline dictated that he'd be around by now. And we thought it would be more fun to have him around as a supporting character, with potential to become a lead in time, than to leave him out entirely.

I know Beast Boy is young, but does he really know what Megan does to people like Aqualad or the Kroletean? He seems to be rather innocent.......and not as likely to be called a psycopath as Megan

Greg responds...

No, I don't think he knows.

I'm confused here. If the years on the timestamps as indicated on Young Justice issue #20 are correct, then it seems that the entirety of Season One took place during Year Zero. The present day events of the issue indicate that 2015 is Year Five. If that is true, would Season Two technically be Year Six in 2016? Also, If Young Justice: Legacy takes place one year before Season Two, would that be Year Five or Year Four?

Greg responds...

As I've said before, all attempts to LOCK in a real world year are fruitless. If it pleases you or other fans to regard Team Year Zero as 2010, I can't stop you, and it should fit most (though not necessarily all) calculations.

But, yes, all of Season One of Young Justice takes place during Team Year Zero - except for the occasional flashback and the last couple minutes of "Auld Acquaintance, which take place during the early hours of Team Year One.

Season Two, i.e. Young Justice: Invasion (with the exception of the occasional flashback and the occasional flashforward to Bart's home era), all takes place during Team Year Six.

The action - though not all of the backstory - of Young Justice Legacy, all takes place during Team Year Five.
