I was wondering if Batgirl was the leader of the rescue mission or if the mission had just played out in a way that she had to take more charge in it.

Mr. Greg Weisman,

So I found out on Young Justice Wiki that "Before the Dawn" was viewable on iTunes for people who use it. I guess whoever was able to watch it that way was able to download it on the internet for people who can't watch it. Good thing too. It was a crazy, action-packed episode! Here are my thoughts below (even though the topics of discussion are not in order).

A. Miss Martian, Aqualad, and Artemis - By the AllSpark, M'gann, what have you done?! Serious, I don't know exactly what she did and I don't know if Aqualad is catatonic or not! Plus, having Artemis just arrive to find out what Miss Martian did, I wonder is she'll really become a bad guy for real? I really do hope Aqualad will be okay in the episodes to come. As for Miss Martian, I think her actions will probably get her expelled from The Team for sure.

B. The Pieces Are Coming Together - A part of Bart's past shows that Blue Beetle was in turned to the dark side in 2056. So the reason he came back was simply to save Blue Beetle from becoming evil? Somehow, I think there's more to it than that. There may be other factors involved that lead to the apocalypse in 2056. But at least Bart formed a friendship with Blue Beetle to make sure nothing bad happens.

C. Stephanie Brown on Earth-16 - Yup, I should've known we would meet the next "member" of the Bat-Family. After all Earth-16 does its best to closely match pre-Flashpoint continuity. No other words need to said…

D. Godfrey and the Reach - I sensing a Reach-Apokoliptian collaboration on the horizon if something like this is going to happen. Beyond that, it makes me wonder….

E. Static on Earth-16 - He may not have used his powers yet, but I wonder what was the meaning of having him around to watch the other heroes get beaten around by Black Beetle? Hmmm… Maybe this moment is supposed to make him realize that he needs to become a hero later on… I don't know… I bet something special is being planned for him. Here's to hoping to see more of Static…

Thanks for hearing me out on my thoughts.

Greetings, Mr. Weisman!

I'm a Gargoyles fan writing all the way from Puerto Rico.
Anyway, just dropping by to ask something:

1) Is it just me or is the neck in Derek/Talon's shirt (the one he wears after his mutation runs full cirle) very closely designed after the neck gauge in Xanatos' exoframe (the tubes and buttons David uses to remove the helmet)?

2) Is there any particular reason why Talon wears a brooch-like object around his shirt neck, again not dissimilar from the gauges and other machinery in the exoframe?

3) If so, what's its purpose: is it something like a marker, a badge of authority or something of the sort, something more practical, like a moneyclip or a transmitter, or just decoration, like Demona's tiara and jewelry?

Why the decision to use the name "Black Beetle" for the Reach character based on Dawur from the comics? In the comics, "Black Beetle" was the name of a completely different character.

1. Why were the Reach so interested in Beast Boy's powers? He is but a mere human with martian DNA after all. If they want to weaponize his abilities so much, why not just go to Mars and abduct EVERY SINGLE PERSON there? Mars is full of people with these abilities while Earth is full of people who "might" have a meta gene. Why not just test Martians?
2. DC is rumored to be having legal trouble about using the milestone comicbook characters. Is this true? Will it affect the portrayal of Icon, Rocket and Static on the show?
3. There is a trailer for the show going around featuring characters like Black Beetle, Static Shock, Deathstroke and others. How do you feel about trailers spoiling future episodes? Obviously a lot of trailers do this, but do you agree with the practice?
4. Why didn't the Earth-bound leaguers accompany the team on their high-priority mission to recover the abducted teammates? It seems like Aquaman, Captain Atom, Zatanna and Black Lightning would have been a huge help against the Reach. I can't come up with a reason as to why they sat out on this one.
5. Assuming the Big Bang Explosion has been completely written out of Earth-16 and Static has been christened with a new origin story, are you still hypothetically able to use characters such as Hothead, Gear and She-Bang? I'm not asking for spoilers here, just asking if you are able to use them.

This is not a question but simply a statement. After the way cartoon network cancelled the new episodes of young justice, i wish there was someway you could move your show to a different channel. One that treats its shows better.

question about the clones; superboy wont age because he wasnt fully developed yet, right? will roy clone age? also, if roy could have a child, can superboy?

Why does the Reach call humans "meat"? Aren't they made of it too?

I understand that Cartoon Network pushed back Young Justice (and GLTAS) to January, possibly because of holiday reasons, I'm not really sure, but YJ was still released for purchase on itunes. Will the rest of the Invasion episodes be released weekly on itunes?

Mr. Weisman,

Well, we're on a cliffhanger with Kaldur possibly being a triple agent in "Darkest".

Quick YJ questions:

1. What is Aquaman's level of knowledge of sorcery? scale from 1-10, 10 being none at all. If my wife was a doctor I would tend to pick up some basic knowledge moreseo than someone who has no interest or clue about medicine.

2. What was Vandall Savage's participation in World War 2?

3. Did Vandall Savage keep the meteor that caused his immortality?

4. Is there a relationship/ connection to the meteor that caused Savage's immortality and the lazarus pit that allows Ra's Al Ghul his temporary spurts of longevity?

5. When did Vandall Savage first meet Ra's Al Ghul?
