Hi Greg,

Loving Young Justice up here in Canada!!! We are expecting our first son in April and I have all the episodes taped for when he is old enough to watch them.

My question is how often do you receive feedback from the Cartoon Network? When would you know whether to begin on season 3? Keep up the awesome work!

Greg responds...

We receive feedback from Cartoon Network all the time, but 'feedback' and a 'pick-up' are two different things. In theory, they could pick the show up at any time, but I don't expect any definitive answer for weeks, if not months.

is vltaba absolute monarchy or consitutinoal?
is vertigo her fathers brother?
is the sohwcase of green arrow canon in young justice
why does she look difrent?

Greg responds...

1. She inherited the crown from her father.

1a. I'm sure she does.

1b. For obvious reasons, that's not a great idea.

2. Probably some degree of constitutional but more absolute than most modern monarchies.

3. Probably, but I haven't nailed it down in my own head yet.

4. ASKED AND ANSWERED.

5. It's the Young Justice version of the same character.

Again, really great work by you and your cast and crew on Young Justice. Just looking to eat up some more of your time with questions and commentary.

1. I liked your take on the Riddler; the jacket and tie is a nice change from the suit or spandex with bowler that he typically wears. I also thought it did a great job of showing a casualwear look that is still leaves him instantly recognizable.

2. This might just be me reading too closely into things but I noticed that the designs for the Joker and Riddler seem to take cues from musical subcultures. The Joker's design seems to me very Mod inspired while the Riddler wouldn't look out of place in a rockabilly band. Was this an intentional design choice or a simple coincidence?

Greg responds...

1. Thanks. All credit for that should go to Phil Bourassa and Brandon Vietti. My only contribution was to say, "Cool!"

2. You'd have to ask Phil.

Hi Greg, thanks for taking the time to answer this!

Just watched Coldhearted and it was epic. I loved how we got to see more of Wally's badass side. But I was wondering where Roy was since he didn't show up at Wally's birthday party?

Greg responds...

Otherwise occupied.

I've been a fan of the new 52 and I was wondering if there are any plans to incorporate the new universe by any means into Young Justice.
I do know a similar question was asked if new 52 will change the whole YJ and you said no, but I'm wondering if there would be any elements taken from the current comics in future seasons or would you guys rule out the possibilities?

Also, I'm wondering if the team only accepts legacy characters like kid flash, aqualad, red robin and heroes like that because all the current heroes have their adult counterpart, so I'm wondering if it is a criteria to join the team only if they're connected to the Justice League.

Lastly, thanks for the great work. I love Young Justice and the only thing that could make it better is that we get even more Young Justice.
Thanks.

Greg responds...

1. ASKED AND ANSWERED.

2. We have plenty of ideas for Season Three, but we haven't developed them in any detail, as we don't have a pick-up (at least not yet).

3. There's no charter with rules specifying that.

Quick question about Roy's personality. Is it still similar to the Roy in the comics, in the sense that he's a shameless flirt and a ladies' man? Hopefully that's not a spoiler, lol.

Watch the show, and if you still don't get it when it's OVER, ask again.

I have a question about "Coldhearted". Batman said that both Green Lanterns were off world. (I'm assuming he means Hal and John.) What about Guy Gardner? He's a Green Lantern and we saw him in "Revelations". I guess I'm just trying to figure out why Batman didn't count Guy as a Green Lantern.

anyways, I LOVE the show and hate that I have to wait a week between shows and a month between comics. Keep up the awesome work! Oh and thanks for giving Wonder Woman the power of flight. :) She should have it and it bothers me when people take that power away from her.

Greg responds...

Guy's not a member of the League, and Batman has no jurisdiction over him or consistent way to track his whereabouts, especially if Guy's offworld.

"Coldhearted" was awesome! I actually thought Perdita died for a moment, and I was just as surprised as Vertigo when the curtain was pulled.

Questions:

1. Why did Vandal Savage distract KF himself? Is there any reason(s) he didn't send someone else to do it?
2. Does Vertigo know Savage is the leader of The Light? And does he know the identities of any of its other members?

Greg responds...

1. Why not?

2. Savage is NOT the leader of the Light. But Vertigo knows Savage is a member of the Light. Beyond that, I'm not going to comment.

Hey Greg me again I had a few questions about ColdHearted:
1. Why did Artemis smile after M'gann kissed Wally on the forehead?
2. What was the woman's name that gave Wally the pack with, the Queen's heart?
3. Was Robin trying to make a move on Zatanna when he was giving her cake?

Greg responds...

1. I think it speaks for itself.

2. Dr. Mattie Harcourt.

3. Well, he's into her. I don't think his specific intent is all that clear in HIS head even.

Tyler Reznik writes...

More a philosophical question than one about any of your work (although it does relate to some of your characters):
What is your opinion of Friedrich Nietzche's quote "He who fights monsters should see to it that he himself does not become a monster. And if you gaze for long into an abyss, the abyss gazes also into you"? How do you think it relates to superheroes, and characters who struggle against "evil" in general? I'm very interested in your input on the subject.

Greg responds...

I buy into it 100%. Doesn't mean every good guy goes bad, but every good guy's going to - at the very least - have those moments where it could go either way.

In "Misplaced" we see a plane deprived of its pilot by her turning 18 in flight.

Was it ever actively considered how a similar fate would have befallen any children traveling by air at the time? Or other times where supervillain actions should probably result in high numbers of civilian casualties?

Greg responds...

Yes, it was considered.

And with THAT, I've gotten the queue down to a mere ELEVEN HUNDRED QUESTIONS! <Whew!>

Hey. I am a huge fan of Young Justice and I have a few questions. I'm sorry if they violate the guidelines in anyway. I had a question about the other Robins fom the comics, but you've already marked them as Spoilers, so I won't ask.

1. Has Robin ever considered Barbara as more than a friend? I know you've said that he has a crush on Zatanna, but it's possible to like two people at the same time, right? Does he know that Barbara likes him?

Blue Beetle and Lagoon Boy writes...

Just a quick question based on recent findings.

Don't know if you can answer this, but recently Invasion toy box art was found which reveals Blue Beetle and Lagoon Boy are added to the team. Was there a reason these two weren't originally chosen but picked later by you and your team for The Team?

Thanks.

Yes.

1. You've said that the relationship between Bruce and Dick is going to be a better one than that which has been portrayed in recent canon. Is that based on how you think the relationship should be or did you change it because of Dick's age?

2. Is there a mentor/sidekick relationship that you feel has the best dynamic?

Greg responds...

1. I'm not sure you're quoting me correctly - not exactly anyway. But I think they have a solid relationship, and Brandon and I both felt that worked on the series.

2. Nope. I like 'em all.

Coldhearted

"Young Justice" goes single focus this week with an episode centering square on our favorite obnoxious speedster, Wally West. As far as character development goes, I think Wally especially needed an episode like this. I wasn't disappointed. I think we can all relate on one level, no matter how old we get, we all want our birthdays to be special, even if we say we don't. Did Wally's go well? Sure... in the end. It looks like he's finally maturing. More on that in a bit.

Artemis is my favorite character on The Team, and I loved that moment where she decided to spill the beans to Wally about Miss Martian and Superboy being an item. That she chose to deflate him like this was so mean, and yet you can't feel too bad for him because he really had it coming. I like to think Wally choosing not to dwell on it is another mark that he's maturing. This episode was all about him learning how to prioritize.

I thought his cross country run was fun to watch. Now, I am sure some people will complain that he can't move at the speed of light, or however fast the character can run in the comics, but I don't like my heroes and villains to be overpowered, it removes the tension if, say, Superman is strong enough to move planets, or the Hulk can prevent the entire continent of Australia from ripping in half. I saw one person ask why the closest available heart for a patient in Seattle was all the way in Boston, but I would hope most would remember that hearts with matching blood types for complex transplants don't grow on trees.

Let's talk about the villains for a moment. Vandal Savage was fun to watch for his brief scene, slowing down Wally. This guy is just a beast. He really lives up to his name, and I enjoyed hearing Miguel Ferrer's voice again. I also thought it was fun that this didn't seem to be his plan, so much as he was doing a favor for Count Vertigo. Actually, I wonder if this was Savage returning a favor, since Vertigo acted as his proxy in the Injustice League back in "Revelation." I would say that I hope we see more of Vandal, but I know we are going to.

But the true villain of the piece had to be Count Vertigo. I'm not too familiar with Vertigo, but he was a great villain in this episode. It was just diabolical in its simplicity. Have The Light distract both the Justice League and The Team, slow down Kid Flash, and let Queen Perdita die so he can become king. And, I'm going to be honest, considering just how dark this series has gotten, and how successful the villains have been... I actually believed he won. I thought the episode would end wit The Light declaring their triumph that they have an ally of theirs on the throne of Vlatava. So, I was as surprised as Vertigo was when the curtain was pulled back.

I suppose the only question left is, how did The Light pull off freezing half of the country? They have control of Belle Reve, so it's conceivable they could sneak the ice villains in and out. Is that what they did, or were they using advanced tech from Apokolips? Well, I guess we'll find out soon.

The animation in this episode was just stunning, particularly the snow effects. I hope for a Blu-ray release.

Greg responds...

Psst. It was the five ice guys.

Hi Greg,

I really enjoyed the latest episode of Young Justice, 1st off praise to the writing because i really liked how Wally was handled on the episode, now as for the question: This seemed link up to the Green Arrow short you did, is it meant as a continuation of that story?

Greg responds...

Yes and no. The short isn't canon, but the Earth-16 version of those events will eventually appear in our companion comic.

To whom it may concern,

I'm absolutely loving the show so far and can't wait for the impending series 1 finale. I just had a few minor, nitpicky questions!

1) In Targets, when Cheshire impersonates the tea girl at the ceremony, was there a real server she mugged and replaced offscreen or something?

2) I guess similar to the first, in the most recent episode, "Coldhearted", why weren't there any doctors or police officers waiting in front of the Seattle hospital for Kid Flash like there were in Boston? Were they taken out offscreen by Vertigo's henchmen?

3) I know you've talked about plotting for the comics and the TV series, but without spoiling anything, if a character who has not yet appeared in the show was designed by Chris Jones in the comic book, does that mean they won't be appearing in the show period (as of now) or that they simply might have a different design? Because I saw an interview where he said he was given free reign on a few characters like Talia al Ghul and Ubu (and I think the previous artist said something similar about Psycho Pirate?).

Sorry for all the questions, and I hope you and the others keep up the great work!

Greg responds...

1. Yes.

2. Well, Dr. Cross came outside - but it was cold, and he went back into the lobby. For the rest, I'll leave it to your imagination.

3. At least one of the characters first designed by Chris for the comic will be appearing in the show. Phil did his own version of it, but kept it consistent with Chris' take - keeping in mind that five years have passed. Phil and Chris are both fans of each other's work.
