1- Do you feel all this people asking "how old questions" are doing it to annoy you?

2- Do you feel DC fans are different from Marvel ones?

3-How do you feel about the fact that there have been multiple characters with the Robin title and so many similar cases? I feel it just gives fans more reasons to be unhappy. For me Dick is my Robin!

Greg responds...

1. No. That's a subject that matters to me, so I can see why it would matter to others.

2. Not particularly. I'm a fan of both, myself.

3. "Similar cases?" I'm not sure what you mean.

1. How old is Monsieur Mallah?
2. How old is Mr. Tawny?
3. How old is Red Inferno?
4. How old is Beluga Boy?
5. How old is James Gordon?

Greg responds...

1. Don't know.

2. DITTO.

3. When the robot Red Inferno was destroyed, it had been 68 years since her construction.

4. That's not one of my characters. But I'd guess he was between 12-15 during Season One.

5. Gordon is 49.

Greg responds...

1. I guess Red Torpedo (i.e. the robot) was 70-years-old at the time of his destruction, i.e. he was built 70 years prior.

2. NO COMMENT.

3. NO COMMENT.

4. Brick was 29 by the end of Season One.

5. Hawkwoman was 28 by the end of Season One.

First off, I'd like to apologize on behalf of the abuse you've recieved, Mr. Weisman. You give us the chance to have you personally answer our questions, and your rewarded with rants from the disgruntled fanbase. I'm sorry for this, and understand the added rules because of this outlandish behavior.

Anyways, I was wondering about the Light. How exactly did you come up with this evil cabal of villains? I'm not asking for spoilers, just what made you decide to take these select villains, and organize them into such a secretive, manipulative, and mysterious way of organized crime. The Secret Society and the Injustice League in the comics they weren't anywhere near as badass and secret as this group is! Did the Illuminati from Gargoyles influence their creation a bit?

Thanks for your time, if you decide to answer this! Keep up the excellent work, can't wait for Season 2 of Young Justice!

Greg responds...

The Illuminati may have been an influence, but mostly it was Brandon and I (and later Kevin) sitting down and figuring out what kind of opposition we wanted for our series and what their motivations would be and what their goals would be and finally, who would be chosen to carry those banners. As always, we looked for diversity, personality, power ranges - but mostly CHOPS.

In W.I.T.C.H., why some of the Hearts, like Lillian and Elyon, have sentient forms, while others are simply majical objects?

Greg responds...

That's just the way it works.

Hello, Greg! I have some W.I.T.C.H. questions.
1)In the series finale, when the C.H.Y.K.N escaped from the jewel, why did Nerissa remain young, while the reverted back to their original forms?
2)Why Cassidy stayed alive, instead of becoming a ghost again?
3)Does Nerissa know that her fantasies (when she remains trapped in the jewel) are just fantasies, at least deep down, or she really believes they're real?

Greg responds...

1. Nerissa didn't ever really escape from the Jewel. But in her imagination, she was still young.

2. Because that magic had been accomplished. It was a done deal.

3. I'll leave that to your interpretation.

Hi I think you have done an amazing job with Young Justice Mr Weisman but since I live in the UK I have to watch and appreciate online so I was wondering if and when Young Justice was coming to the UK. If it is please reply so I can note it down.
Thanks :)

Greg responds...

I'm afraid I don't know. Sorry.

1. How much would say past cartoons like Batman: The Animated Series and Justice League Unlimited influenced your work on, Young Justice?

2. Were the six Leaguers in "Auld Acquaintance" who were unaccounted for(Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Martian Manhunter, Hawkwoman and John Stewart) a reference to the Justice League cartoon, since the show featured an near identical line-up, or was it just a coincidence?

Greg responds...

1. Batman's been a big influence since back in the Gargoyles days. Nothing specific, but it's probably still floating around in my brain. I'm less familiar with JLU, so I'm sure it's had less of an influence. I know early on we did some things intentionally differently to distance ourselves from that great show. But for example, the six Leaguers chosen to be missing for 16 hours was definitely influenced by the cast of the original Justice League series.

2. Yes. By now you probably realize that Flash was NOT included because we needed him back on Earth for our Impulse intro.

I'm sure that you must be frustrated with fans and might even want to shut this website down. But if you do shut it down, I hope that despite that you will still post updates on the progress of any of your works. Whether Young Justice or any future show. It'll still be more than enough =) Thanks for the updates. Nice to know how any of your show's progress is =)

Greg responds...

Thanks. I've backed away from thoughts of shutting the site down for now.

Dear Greg,
Watched the season finale, and WOW. What an ending. Here I've been telling my friends the mole was a Starro-controlled Red Arrow. Boy was I half-wrong. And the fate of Original Roy-OK, that was cool. It's a way to get the cybernetic arm in without the needless killing of a baby, very nice. And the team taking on the league, very cool. I'm glad Clark made peace with Connor, very cool. Honestly, my favorite part of the whole episode? Tying up the romantic plots. Thank you, especially for Zatana grabbing Dick like that, very funny. And if the clips they showed for season 2(hopefully starting next week) are correct; Oh, you just went up beyond my top 5 favorite creators. Thank you for an amazing first season of Young Justice, please pass this on to the rest of the cast & crew, and I eagerly await more of the Team!

Greg responds...

Wow, thanks. Glad you liked it!

Greg! You are my hero (professionally at least. I mean, face it, I don't know you. You could be an axe-murderer). I want to spend my life doing what you do. Any pieces of advice for an aspiring writer? What are good ways to train myself / further my writing skills / develop confidence in my voice (or my character's voices)? How did you get your start professionally, and what are some good avenues towards putting your work out in the world?

I thoroughly look forward to seeing the rest of your work, because all of it has been great. Thank you and adieu.

Greg responds...

At the risk of losing my heroic status, I'm going to demur here, since all this information is already available in the ASK GREG archives. (I've been asked this MANY times before.) For example, check out "Animation", "Behind the Scenes", "Biz, The" and "Weisman, Greg" for starters.

Hi Greg.

1) In Agendas, in your opinion, which leaguers would have voted to expel Captain Marvel had it been put to a vote?

2) With which leaguers is Captain Marvel especially friendly with?

Greg responds...

1. I'll leave that either to your imagination or to a future story (maybe in the comics).

2. All of them, really. He's a friendly guy. But I do think he's a bit closer to Batman, Red Tornado, Superman, Black Canary and Wonder Woman than some of the others.

Mr. Curious writes...

In Young Justice, three separate designation systems were established (that we know of thus far): one for members of the Justice League, one for members of The Team, and one for authorized guests. Here’s where I need to ask two tricky questions about the topic.

a. From her introduction into the show until the concluding events of “Misplaced,” Zatanna was registered as designation A03. Afterwards, she would become an official member of The Team, but we do not know if her designation changed from A03 to B08 for the rest of Season One. If it turns out that it was changed, was Zatanna’s former designation of A03 just left open for someone else to fill? It would definitely explain why Vandal Savage’s designation was A04 and not A03.

b. The designation B06 was reserved for “Speedy/Red Arrow” (the clone) in the event he would join The Team officially. He stuck around for at least two missions with The Team and then he became a member of the Justice League as designation 21. Since “Red Arrow” was given a new designation, what happened to his former designation as B06? Should I assume that everyone from Artemis onwards moved a designation up (for example, Artemis now can become B06 instead of B07)?

Greg responds...

a. Designations are not recycled. Except for Vandal's since he was never meant to be "authorized" by the League.

b. No. Designations are not recycled.

Hi Greg,

I hope you don't shut down the site, it's excellent being able to reach out to a creator I so admire and discuss their work. On that subject, I was wondering who are some of your influences are as a writer (obviously Shakespeare). Which writers serve as your models or inspiration for plotting stories, writing dialogue, and the writing process as a whole?

Are you familiar with / a fan of Joss Whedon's work? Between Gargoyles and Buffy the Vampire Slayer, you two wrote characters facing some similar challenges (tormented individuals, tragically and unwittingly bound to each other, frequently dealing with the burden of immortality). Obviously Gargoyles came first, I've just noticed you two writing about many of the same themes, and was wondering if you enjoy or find inspiration in his work in general.

Assuming I am granted it, thanks for your time!

Greg responds...

1. This has been answered before. Please look at the "INFLUENCES" section of the ASK GREG archives.

2. Yes, as even a casual glance at the topics in the archive would indicate, e.g. "Buffyverse Geek-Out".

Legacy writes...

I was wondering about the Young Justice video game. Usually when a game comes out on multiple platforms there are differences between each one, both major and minor, due to differences between the system. As Young Justice: Legacy has been revealed to be available on at least five systems, there will most likely be at least minor differences. Is there a specific version you feel is the most canon out of them all?

Thanks.

Greg responds...

I'm not well-versed enough about the differences in various platforms to comment. No one's told me that there are different versions of the game.

You said before that after season one was finished you could talk more about the characters selected to be a part of the team during the season...So, what made you choose those characters for season 1?

Greg responds...

I think I've already answered this generally. Check the archives. If you have more specific questions AFTER reading our general approach, I'm happy to answer them.
