1) Are Dick, Wally, and Artemis fans of the show Celebrity Hockey, or were they just watching it because there was nothing good on TV?

2) What is that show about, exactly? Is it like Dancing with the Stars, but with hockey?

3) Has Bruce Wayne ever been asked to appear in an episode of Celebrity Hockey? If so, did he accept?

(PS: no show makes me screech in emotional agony quite like Young Justice, so thank you and everyone else for doing a great job!!)

Greg responds...

1. What's not to like?

2. It's like hockey. But with celebrities.

3. SPOILER REQUEST. NO COMMENT.

(P.S. You're welcome.)

I loved the Gorilla City story in the YJ comics. Regarding those enhanced gorillas:

1) Did all the enhanced gorillas become telepaths, or just some?
2) While it appears they haven't been subjected to Kobra-Venom (and who would want super-strong hostages?), were the gorilla children given brain enhancements?

Thanks for taking the time for these questions.

Greg responds...

1. All.

2. It's more complicated than you're implying, but SPOILER REQUEST. NO COMMENT.

One of my favorite episodes of SSM is "Gangland" because of the awesome fights mixed with that beautiful opera score. Ever since I've been obsessed with finding out the name of each piece, and after a thorough research, I think I got it. It would mean a lot if you could confirm this:

- "Pari siamo": The meeting turns sour; Hammerhead turns coat.
- "Ella mi fu rapita, Parmi veder le lagrime": Silvermane suits up. The fight moves downstairs.
- "Scorrendo uniti remota via": Ock and Silermane fight Tombstone. Ock turns on Silvermane.
- "Pari siamo": Spidey catches chandelier. Fight ensues.
- "La Donna é Mobile" (duh) Fight continues outside.
- "Ella mi fu rapita, Parmi veder le lagrime": Ock closes in on Spidey, Fat Lady sings, Tombstone saves Spidey. Spidey disassembles Silvermane. Sable threats Hammerhead. Ock tries to vivisect Spidey.
- "Cortigiani, vil razza dannata": Fight moves to the sewers.

I hope YJ gets a third season and we get to see something similar like this!

Greg responds...

I'm sorry. I tried to find some document on my computer that might confirm or correct your assumptions, but I couldn't find anything. There might be something in my hard copy files, but those are currently boxed up, and I can't get to them right now.

I'd like to ask a few YJ questions that I really hope don't come across the wrong way. They're just a few things I've noticed that may be errors/unclear (or just me being oblivious). Obviously I love the show and the comics, and think you and your team do a great job.

1) In "Bereft", Robin says the soldiers are of the Bialyan Republican Army, but Bialya is a monarchy. Is that an error or was Bialya formerly a republic (or something even more complicated)?

2) In "Common Denominators", after the Cultists abducted Dr. Burr, hitting Robin in the process, Batman asks Robin if he's okay. Robin responds "Feeling the aster. But fine." Shouldn't that be "Not feeling the aster. But fine." or am I misinterpreting 'aster'?

In "Depths", in the scene in the Cave at the end, we hear crying-in particular it sounds to me like male and female crying. Though it looks to me as though Raquel, and perhaps Karen, were crying none of the male characters appeared to be.
3a) Who was crying?
3b) In general, how do you write scenes like this, where you have a number of characters but only a few are seen up close and/or have lines? Does the script detail the reactions for each or is there just a general description of the group's reaction and the details are left to storyboarding/animation?

Can't wait for #23 and the return of the show. Thanks for your time.

Greg responds...

1. Bialya is - in theory - a constitutional monarchy, with a democratically elected REPRESENTATIVE government. (Though in practice, it's a dictatorship.) Because of this, propaganda is used throughout Bialyan society, and names don't necessarily reflect truth.

2. No, you're right. That's an error. Robin must have been more addled than he realized.

3a. I think only M'gann is crying out loud. At least that's how it is in the script (and in my memory). But I don't have the finished episode handy to check.

3b. There's no set rule.

Why it took 5 years to find what happen in the missing 16 hours?

Why did it take 116 years to fight the Hundred Years' War?

Because that's how long it took.

Was there a time when Karen was keeping her Bumblebee alter-ego a secret from Mal? After all, their Cave designations seem to suggest that there was a bit of a gap between her joining and him getting involved with the Team.

Greg responds...

SPOILER REQUEST. NO COMMENT.

But since their designations are in different categories, I don't think they "suggest" anything one way or another.

Does Beast Boy get on all right with Lagoon Boy? Gar seemed to want Conner and M'gann to get back together in "Earthlings", so I'm thinking that he doesn't like L'gaan...

Greg responds...

They get along all right, but Gar is in need of consistency in his life. When he met M'gann and Conner they were a couple, so he's still rooting for them.

Why was Rocket omitted from issues #21 and #22 of the companion comic when she had been shown with Zatanna in issue #20, who appeared alongside her in that issue?

I have no comment at this time. Mostly because I honestly don't know why.

Was earth 16 version of Lex Luthor based off of the golden age version of Lex Luthor?

I'm sure he was the cumulative combination of all the Lexs that came before. But specifically? No.

It isn't really much of a question, but all in all, I just wanted to say "Thank you". Thank you for all the high quality shows you produced that enriched my childhood and still give me intelligent and gripping entertainment in my favorite media, animated shows, as an adult.
Most off all, I also wanted to express my admiration for your resolve. While privately I may often joke bitterly about the "Weisman curse" whenever one of your shows gets unfairly canceled way too soon despite (arguably) having the best quality in the entire program. You will always have my gratitude for continuing to produce great shows despite all the stones placed in your way.

As for questions:
1. If you had the means to, would you do a Young Justice/Gargoyles Crossover?
2. Sorry to bring up this unfairly missed opportunity gain, but if you had remained on the staff for "The Roswell Conspiracies", do you think that show would at some point crossed over with Gargoyles?
3. In the spirit of question one, do you think Demona would make a good Red Lantern?

In any case, once again, thank you. Thank you for raising the quality and complexity of the already great W.I.T.C.H. cartoon, thank you for producing the best animated Spider-Man series to date, thank you for bringing Starshiptroopers to the screen in the way it should have been in the first place, thank you for doing such a great job with Max Steel, thank you for doing a huge part in keeping animated DC material extremely high quality, especially at the moment, and of course, thank you for Gargoyles, probably my favorite franchise ever, and I am rooting for you to one day get it back and do more wonders with it.

Greg responds...

1. I don't think so. Maybe as a radio play. But I don't see the two universes as being particularly compatible.

2. No. Two different companies.

3. See, this kinda thing doesn't interest me much. If you think so, great.

Thanks for all your kind words.

Hi Greg,

I'm a big fan of the show and I had a brief question that hopefully does not delve into spoilers.

In the Mount Justice memorial grotto, is there any pattern to the size and location of the holograms relative to each other?

More specifically, are the holograms placed in the order they died? I'm not asking when anyone actually died, if that helps.

Thanks for your time!

Greg responds...

No and no.

The sizes are all the same relatively, although perspective (and maybe some flawed animation) may occasionally make it look otherwise.

Sorry, I forgot to ask you.

In the episode Coldhearted, when Batman was assigning them on the mission, is my ears deceiving me, or did the BATMAN just sigh? It's just shocking if he did. From what I know, Batman never sighs.

Greg responds...

If we're talking about the same moment, we called it an "<annoyed exhale>" in the script. But I'm not sure where you got the idea that Batman NEVER sighs.

Just A Nightwing/Oracle Fan writes...

I've got a few questions... hope you don't mind.
1. In the episode Before The Dawn, you know the scene where Batgirl passes Bumblebee to Nightwing and said that he needed to make a fast exit? Yeah, is that really happening in the comics? Cause if it did, I'd like to read the issue.

2. When did Miss Martian started making people into catatonic states? I'm curious.

3. In the episode Homefront in season 1, was Barbara jealous? At least a little spark of Dick/Babs.

Oh, and representing some other authors and myself from FanFiction.Net who likes Nightwing and Batgirl, we are very thrilled that you made Batgirl hold Nightwing's hand. Just that scene, and we're jumping.

Greg responds...

1. I don't know what you mean. It happened on screen. Obviously, you saw it. So...

2. On screen, during Season One.

3. Yes.

4. I honestly don't know what scene you're referring to.

Dear Greg,

I simply wished to thank you for posting the Series Bible for Stargate: The Hunted. It pleases me to no end, and makes me declare with the utmost sincerity 'WHY WAS THIS NOT MADE?' (Rhetorical) Good luck in all of your future projects.

Dear Greg.

My question is regarding the W.I.T.C.H. series and it would be greatly appreciated if you would take your time and answer my question. I will try to keep my questions as short as possible.

1. First of all, I loved the W.I.T.C.H. as a youth, it teached me important and valuable things in life. I would hope future generation can have the same opportunity to watch series like this. I think the series came to an abrupt end, when instead it was set for a new season, given introductionen of the new teacher. Why did it end like this?

2. Is there any chance that the series will see a resurrection?

3. What can I do as a fan, to affect the possibility of a resurrection?

4. Can you do anything to get all of us who wish that our dreams of a season, not just remain a dream, but a reality? If not, who can?

Once again, if you would answer, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Simon

Greg responds...

1. It wasn't picked up for new episodes. I'm assuming because of low ratings, but no one ever gives me a definitive answer on this sort of thing.

2. ANY chance? Sure. But I see no indication of it currently, and I have no reason to expect it.

3. Honestly, at this stage: nothing. It's way too long after the fact. I mean, you can try to generate a groundswell by gathering a LOT of likeminded fans, but when I say a LOT, I mean a LOT!!!!

4. All I can really do is say that if they do bring it back, I'd love to produce more episodes.

4a. In theory, someone at Disney. But I have no idea who.

Hi, I'd like to ask a few Wolf related questions, if I may.

In the wild gray wolves live for around 8-13 years (a bit more in captivity). Since Wolf appeared to be the leader of his pack in "Alpha Male" (the title being a hint!), that would suggest he was a fully grown adult (3+ years) at the time. That would mean Wolf would be physically quite old by Season Two, but he doesn't appear to have aged.

1) How old is Wolf?
2a) Does Wolf not show his age and/or have an extended lifespan as a result of the Brain's experiments on him?
2b) If yes, is the same true of humans or other animals enhanced with Kobra-Venom?

In this interview (http://www.aquamanshrine.com/2012/09/aquaman-shrine-interview-with-greg.html) you mentioned that Wolf was Earth-16's version of Krypto, and that you considered naming him Krypto. That would seem to imply there is no "real" Kryptonian Krypto. But in "Alpha Male", when KF suggested that name, M'gann said it was taken.

3) Is there a Krypto on Earth-16? If not, what was M'gann referring to?

4) Was Wolf linked into the telepathic simulation in "Failsafe", or was he just in the room?

Thanks for your time.

Greg responds...

1. Well, by your own calculations, he's at least eight or nine - assuming we buy into your calculations.

2a. We'll have to wait and see.

2b. We'll have to wait and see.

3. SPOILER REQUEST. NO COMMENT.

3a. She didn't SAY it was taken, she ASKED if it was taken.

4. He was not linked.

Mr. Weisman,

In a previous answer you said M'gann gave Garfield his suit and that it is Martian, like her own.
1. Does that mean it can change its appearance like M'gann's clothing can?
2. If yes then can Garfield willingly change the look of his suit?

Greg responds...

1. In theory, yes, but in practice, Gar doesn't have that kind of control over it. Miss Martian has basically pre-set it with two forms: his uniform and the collar version it reduces down to when he morphs into a beast.

2. He can change it back and forth from collar to uniform. That's all.
