Mr. Weisman, why did Cadmus cut off Roy Harper's arm? I know you've said that they needed a quantity of DNA seperate from his cryonically frozen body. I just don't understand why his being frozen was an issue with availability. They have his whole body. His DNA is in every part of it. They don't need to defrost him in order to get a sample. Even if they did, why not just use his blood? It seems a lot simpler to me, and the first step of cryonic freezing (in the real world, at least) is to remove all of the subjects blood and replace it with a preserving agent.
Was it meant as a reference to the much-maligned Cry For Justice storyline. If so, why do an homage to a storyline that has inspired such wide-spread loathing among everyone who isn't an employee of DC Comics? Hyperbole on my part, perhaps, but I've yet to find a single review of it that was positive, and I've deliberately tried.

Mr. Weisman, why did Nightwing perform chest compressions on Artemis when she (seemingly) had a chest wound? First Aid for someone with a chest wound is to apply pressure to the wound (preferably clean dressing, if available), apply pressure to prevent further blood loss, and get them medical care immediately. Performing CPR on a person with an open wound in their chest is just going to force more blood out of their body, thus exacerbating their primary medical problem, a loss of blood. Without blood to circulate, CPR is pointless.

As always, your time and replies are greatly appreciated. Looking forward to the second half of Season 2!

I know you said in a few other questions that Ms. Martian was the only member of her family who had a "white" appearance. She also mentioned that she had 12 sisters, and that Martians stay close in large families through telepathy. So:

A) How close is she with her Martian family, now she's on earth? Does she write/communicate/keep in touch?

B) Was there any difference in her relationship with her father, compared to her siblings, because she faced the same prejudices He did?

C) How well did she get along with her siblings, was she especially close with any of them?

Also, I'm not sure if you plan on answering this in the show, so if it's not a spoiler request, why did Beast Boy develop powers after being bitten by a Green Monkey? Why not right away? And, would a bite from any other animal have done the same thing, or is there something special about green monkeys?

Thank you for taking the time to read and answer this.

Why was Wally not on the last mission in Before the Dawn, if he claims that he's terrified for Artemis's life? Maybe I'd be more sympathetic towards him if he was doing anything he can to help make the situation better and wasn't content to just sit and wait, and hound Dick for all the decisions he makes. Especially since he was willing to get involved in Bloodlines but NOT HERE. Unless Dick asked him to not get involved because of his emotional state THEN I retract the above criticism. If not how can Wally just sit there and not do something to be proactive at a time like this?

Just want to say thanks for taking the time to answer all the questions that we the fans ask (me included) I certainly didn't expect you to reply to that desperation rant that I posted here. O_o.

I will be the first to admit that I was embarrassed after I cooled down and read it a couple of days later, so I very much appreciate that you took the time to humor me.

And I just saw the official trailer to the upcoming second half of the season! I was already excited when I learned of the new date for DC Nation's return, but now I am SERIOULY pumped! That teaser got blood pumping! Young Justice never ceases to improve, just when I think: Ok it's already so amazing they have to be nearing the proverbial "glass ceiling", you prove to me that you and your team are still flying high!!!

I'm so looking forward to seeing Static! He's one of my fav superheroes! Loved his series when I was a kid so I'm stoked that I get to see him again!

And all the runaways with powers popping up all over the place?!, reminds me of Smallville. (That's not a negative comparison by the way.)

Things are getting hot in here!

We've got super powered teenage runaways, (Conner and Mal were worried about maybe having to babysit Impulse and Speedy? Ha!) secrets and lies, and an alien invasion all being dealt with at once, that is one big inter-related problema...

Even caught Superboy giving Nightwing a good tongue lashing. (That ought to be an interesting conversation.)

One word:

WOW

Still hoping for a season three! I will be just one of many happy fans if it's ever announced, and one of the most heartbroken if by some odd twist of fate it's not renewed...

Just the fact that it's taken them this long to come to a decision means that if we do get a third season we'll have to wait a while before we'll see it... though with Beware the Batman and Teen Titans GO! coming I guess there will be time to produce the season, (maybe that's what they are banking on?) If so seems like DC Nation will just start juggling their content like ABC Family and USA do with their original series. While one show is airing the others are being worked on...

Anyway... I'm excited! Just one week to go! (Really two since I was fortunate enough to have snagged "Before the Dawn" before it was removed from iTunes...

^_~.

Hi Greg,

I was just watching "Targets" again for probably the third or fourth time (and for the first time since before the show returned last September) when I noticed something interesting. In that episode, during the conversation between Red Arrow and Lex Luthor at the Peace Summit between North and South Rhelasia, Luthor tells Red something about Lexcorp being dedicated to peace. In response, Red Arrow says, "I've got intel linking Lexcorp shell companies to the sale of weapons in both Rhelasias. You're profiting off this war."

We learned in "Satisfaction" that the original Roy Harper had been abducted while investigating a Lexcorp shell company that he and Green Arrow suspected of smuggling weapons into North Rhelasia.

My questions...

1) Are these two events in fact the same? I mean, when Red Arrow was speaking with Luthor at the Peace Summit regarding his "intel", was he referring (unknowingly, of course) to the same event that led to the original Roy's capture (and, by consequence, his own creation)?
2) If the answer to the above is no, then feel free to ignore the rest of the paragraph. However, if the answer to the above question is yes, then I'm also curious: was Red Arrow's presence at the Rhelasian Peace Summit orchestrated by the Light in advance? I mean, obviously for Sportsmaster to extract information from him and issue new programming, Red had to be there, and he had to be alone. But if he hadn't been there at all, it seems likely that Cheshire would have actually killed Luthor - it just didn't seem to me like she knew what was really going on. But wouldn't it be too great a risk for the Light to knowingly put one of its own in jeopardy - unless they KNEW beforehand that someone (and a very specific someone, at that) would be there to "save the day"? Moreover, for this whole plan to succeed without Luthor being assassinated, both Cheshire and Sportsmaster had to have been explicitly told NOT to kill Red Arrow - which they could probably have done together very easily.

I'm not trying to put forth my own ideas here or anything. I just want to know, in light of the events and revelations of "Satisfaction", if I'm reading this whole scenario correctly. Or... am I just reading too much into all this?

Thank you for your time, sir!

Regarding the two additional guests to Rocket's shower- clearly their identity is a spoiler. When they finally do show up in one form or another, will you let us know it was them?
