Hey Greg! Just here with a few questions

1) Are the YJ comics more of a way to explain the events during/in between the shows to the viewers. Things that may not have been mentioned or clear enough. OR would you say they serve as more of a way to get information and story lines out there in order to base future episodes off of them? maybe both? just curious.

2) Do you ever get annoyed by the questions, responses and posts that fans put out there? ex. heated (and occasionally baseless) fan pairing wars, "hating" on particular characters, ect.

3) this may seem silly to ask, but do you have a favorite character amongst the group? or one that you find the most interesting

4) It is always fun to guess at new characters and appearances on the show, but do you ever worry that too big of a group will take away from the development of each individual character?

Greg responds...

1. Either, both, neither. Mostly, it's just another outlet for us to tell stories set in this universe with these characters.

2. You're new here, aren't you?

3. ASKED AND ANSWERED.

4. Of course, but we have to be true to the universe we're developing. Believe me, there were at least SEVEN more MAJOR characters that we wanted to add to Season Two that will NOT be appearing at all on the television series because there just wasn't any room for them. So they'll have to be saved for the comic book and/or a potential Season Three (if there is one).

hey Greg!
i think its great that you let fans ask questions, especially since you must get frustrated when fans go and ask the same questions over and over, so i checked and double checked the archives before asking this, but if its a repeat, i apologize.

1)in many comic books, more adult like topics are discussed. (ie: child abuse, drug abuse, pregnancy)and i know you have cleared the subject of Wally's child abuse multiple times, but are such topics allowed to be discussed at such a children oriented network?

2) I've heard of other comics books and shows that the public in that such universe is convinced that superheroes don't have secret identities, is that true of earth-16?

3)in the most recent episode, it was shown captain marvel saying Shazam! and transferring to the adult universe, and rescuing his pilot. i assume that the lightning that struck him destroyed the plane, but did the lightning not affect Amber, or did she somehow fall out of the plane beforehand?

thanks for taking the time to answer these :)

Greg responds...

1. It depends how they're handled.

2. Some characters have secret identities; some do not.

3. The magic lightning had NO effect on the plane. On the adult dimension, the plane was back in its hangar in Fawcett City. In the kid dimension, the pilotless plane eventually crashed into the ocean. This question has already been ASKED AND ANSWERED. For a fuller response, check the archives.

Hey, Mr. Greg Weisman,

I made a mistake on my last posting. That last one was actually my sixth posting, not my fifth. The one I’m doing now is my seventh posting.

I’ve got a quick interesting question I need to ask you. Has a prequel movie (which would probably focus on the Justice League, with the sidekicks in a minor role) ever been considered by your team to help lead into the beginning of the events of Season One, or to help connect the plot elements of Seasons One and Two?

Thanks for taking the time to read this question. Hope to find out how you will respond. Oh, I almost forgot, on my fifth posting, the one I did last night with the list of names, Wizard’s first name was misspelled. I meant to say William, not Willaim.

Greg responds...

No, it hasn't been discussed. I'd love to, of course, but I wouldn't hold my breath.

Thank you so much for the Bad Guys timeline info. Now, if you would please share the dates and descriptions from your timeline of the events of "The Rock," "Rock & Roll," and "Rock of Ages."

I believe this will bring the GargWiki up to date with all things canon.

Greg responds...

Isn't all that stuff in the trade itself?

Hi Question about Kid Flash and Artemis:

What were they doing together that they walked in together in the beginning of "Revelation"?

Greg responds...

Nothing significant. For all we know, they weren't together and simply entered the hallway at the same time.

1. Going off from what someone previously asked, can Artemis speak as many languages as her father and sister?
2. I was just wondering, do you think that in general Artemis is confident in most social situations, or more shy/awkward?
3. How would you describe Artemis' relationship with Roy presently?
4. Who is Artemis' closest to on the team?

Greg responds...

1. <shrug>

2. I think she actively PROJECTS confidence, which is not the same thing as having it. (Same with Wally, by the way. It's one of the things I see them having in common.)

3. With Roy? Mostly non-existent. That might change now, after the revelations of "Usual Suspects" and "Auld Acquaintances" but I can't talk about that now, as it's a SPOILER.

4. Zatanna, probably. Though I think she's close to M'gann and Robin and Aqualad - and even to Wally in their strange way. This is NOT meant to imply that she gets along badly with Superboy and/or Rocket, but I don't think they're as close.

The entire team (except Artemis)saw how Wally reacted to Artemis' death in the simulation in "Failsafe." It would be apparent to all of them that Wally wouldn't have reacted that way unless he had very strong feelings for Artemis. Black Canary found out about it. So, isn't it reasonable to think that someone on the team told Artemis about Wally's reaction to her death and that Artemis would realize how Wally feels about her?

Greg responds...

It's not reasonable, but I don't see it as an absolute either. Nevertheless, it wouldn't surprise me if M'gann hinted at it to Artemis. My gut is that it would only tend to confuse and trouble Artemis MORE not less.

ASK GREG UPDATE - VERY IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT

There is a NEWLY revised intro page at ASK GREG, and more importantly, a newly revised "GUIDELINES FOR ASKING A QUESTION" page. What's on it is SO important, I'm going to copy it below. But first a WARNING. In ONE WEEK'S TIME, I am going to authorize the moderators to go through the EXISTING QUEUE and retroactively apply these guidelines, DELETING any and every post that breaks even one of the guidelines. That's right, RETROACTIVELY.

I can justify this for a number of reasons:
1. NONE of these guidelines are actually new. This is the first time they've been gathered together on the question asking page, but I've been pleading for people to follow all of these guidelines for OVER A YEAR. So by now, anyone who spends even a little time at the site should be aware of them.
2. I'm giving folks a FULL WEEK to retrieve their non-guideline posts and RE-POST them PER THE GUIDELINES. Our biggest problem recently seems to be with folks who are hit and run posters, more interested in being able to post questions then in actually getting timely answers of any substance. Those folks may return in a few months (or whatever) to find their posts deleted, but anyone who's a regular here has plenty of time to correct their mistakes.
3. The queue currently has over a thousand questions and is still growing. No one's going to get ANY timely answers if something isn't done.

Please, keep in mind that (a) I take no pleasure in being this draconian and (b) this is WAY less draconian than it might be. Heck, their are fans advocating that I SHUT THE SITE DOWN entirely, which, frankly, is still an option on the table.

So please, read the following guidelines CAREFULLY. Reread your existing posts - or any new posts you might make - and confirm for yourself whether or not ANY ASPECT of your post busts a guideline. Because if even one little rule is broken, your ENTIRE post will be deleted mercilessly. (Feel free to ask for advice from the moderators at the Station 8 Comment Room, as to whether or not your post is within the guidelines and/or what you can do to get it guideline-safe.) Repost your question, if necessary. I realize that if you're near the front of the queue with a semi-non-legit post, it'll be frustrating to have to go to the back of the line, but keep in mind that in one week, the line is about to get WAY SHORTER, because nearly EVERY post breaks one or more guidelines.

GUIDELINES FOR ASKING A QUESTION
1. DO NOT REQUEST SPOILERS! All requests for spoilers will be met with "SPOILER REQUEST. NO COMMENT." or DELETION. Prefacing your spoiler request question by saying, "I hope this doesn't trigger a spoiler alert" or the like doesn't help. Think before you post. If you're asking for information about what is to come on a show, it's a spoiler. And Greg flat out will not answer. So all you're doing is clogging the queue.

2. Search the archives to make sure your question hasn't already been answered. Any question already answered will receive an "ASKED AND ANSWERED" response or be DELETED. Again, this only serves to clog the queue.

3. Check the unanswered questions queue before posting your question. It may not yet be answered, but if you can see that someone's already asked the question, then there's no point in asking it again. All you'll receive is another "ASKED AND ANSWERED" response or the post will be DELETED.

4. Consider asking your question from knowledgeable fans before posting it. For example, the folks at http://www.s8.org/gargoyles/comment/ are very knowledgeable and can usually answer questions much faster than Ask Greg. The Gargoyles Wiki, the Young Justice Wiki, and the Station Eight FAQ are excellent sources of information as well and may contain the answers to your questions.

5. Please refrain from asking questions - even non-spoiler questions - that it seems obvious will be answered by the end of the season. One of the reasons the queue is so long is because it's filled with questions that have already been answered by subsequent episodes, even questions that one would reasonably assume would be answered by subsequent episodes. If at the end of the season, your questions still aren't answered, THAT is the time to ask them. Until then, your post risks DELETION.

6. If you are asking multiple questions in one post, please number your questions. And if you're asking more than five questions then create a separate post. But please, do NOT flood the queue. Show restraint or risk DELETION.

7. Please do not submit any original ideas, notions, concepts, or drawings of original characters. No stories, no fanfic, no teleplays, nothing. Anything like this will automatically be DELETED.

8. No original ideas masquerading as questions. Asking what Demona did during World War II is fine. Asking if Demona tried to assassinate Hitler during World War II is an idea masquerading as a question and is not all right. Again: automatic DELETION.

9. No requests for employment. If you want to ask generally about how one might break into the business, Greg will try to give his perspective, but this is not an appropriate forum for personal pleas for work and as such will be DELETED.

10. Please make separate posts for each topic you want to address or ask questions about. If you have 3 or so questions about one topic (for example, Oberon) you may post them together. But if you wish to ask about multiple topics (for example, Oberon AND Goliath and Elisa's relationship) please make separate posts for each topic or risk DELETION.

11. Please keep the language clean. This is more or less a PG website. Anything beyond the occasional 'damn' will result in your entire post being DELETED.

12. Rudeness is not appreciated. You don't have to like Greg's stuff. And negative comments are perfectly legitimate and will not be deleted simply for being negative. But that can be done without being rude or abusive. Keep it civil or risk DELETION.

13. Please do not bother making comments worded in such a way that they, in essence, CHALLENGE Greg to acknowledge how right those comments are about their criticisms of the program. Here’s the thing...you do NOT have to agree with Greg's creative choices, but aside from a few objective mistakes that he has ALWAYS been willing to acknowledge, you have to understand that if Greg and his creative partners put something in the series, the odds are THEY LIKE IT. YOU are NOT going to convince GREG that, for example, “Hello, Megan!” or Robin’s laugh or Superman’s response to Superboy or Wally’s flirting is bad for the show. Feel free to tell him you don’t care for these (or other) things, but stop phrasing these COMMENTS as questions or challenges. It grates. Any question that falls into this category will at best be answered with a: “WE LIKE OUR SHOW.” and in fact risks DELETION.

*PLEASE READ AND FOLLOW ALL GUIDELINES CAREFULLY*
Breaking any of these guidelines may result in DELETION. This means, for example, that if you ask four legitimate questions, but your fifth question does not follow even one of the guidelines, your ENTIRE POST may be DELETED. (Are you sensing a theme?)

Once a post is deleted, there is no cache where it is saved. There is no appeal. You can go to the S8 Comment Room and ask a moderator WHY the post was deleted FOR FUTURE REFERENCE, i.e. so that future posts will better observe the guidelines and hopefully not be deleted. But the moderator cannot reinstate your post. Also, keep in mind that sometimes the moderators delete posts. Sometimes Greg does, in which case the moderator may not be able to explain the decision. The moderators are merely following Greg's guidelines. Greg can delete a post on a whim.

In case it isn't clear, I'm not actually (let alone actively) trying to alienate fans. I wouldn't do ASK GREG at all if that were the case. But the system has been so terribly abused, that I feel it's this or we shut it down.

If you could, would you have put your Spectacular Spider man on the team?

Greg responds...

I'm afraid that kind of hypothetical just has no meaning to me.
