I was reading some stuff on fanficion.net and there is a rumor going around that the YJ tie-in comics will end after February. I have several online friends that are upset by this rumor, but so am I, YJ is the first series of comics ever that I started collecting and have every one so far. I'd have to see the series end after the five year gap is filled in. Please, if you can, is there any truth to this rumor or is it just that, a rumor.

Greg responds...

No comment.

Hey Greg. I'm wondering if you've seen Arrow, the recent Live-Action series about Oliver Queen. Personally, I liked it a lot, especially with the focus on the character's civillian identity rather than his antics as a vigilante.

If you've seen it, what did you think? Did you like some of the ideas they had?

And I know you're a fan of Black Canary, which is also why I asked, since Laurel Lance is a major supporting character. Did you like what they did with her?

Thanks for taking the time to ask all these questions!

Greg responds...

I haven't seen it.

Hi Greg! I wanted to ask about your methods of storytelling. For adapted shows like The Spectacular Spider-Man and Young Justice, you seem to have planned out certain events and arcs in advance and seem to include nothing if you aren't going to follow up on it later. Do you have a personal set of rules or guidelines for when you work on projects like these?

Greg responds...

It's no different on any project. We try to plan as much in advance as possible, while still leaving ourselves open to discoveries along the way.

Hello Mr. Greg Weisman,
I saw that Disney.com is streaming the complete series of Gargoyles after such a long time of being off the air. As a result I wanted to ask if this meant we might be getting another Gargoyle comic series? Or some form of continuation in the near future? Hopefully with you being a part of it (if it happens)
I also wanted to say thank you for all the work you've done over the years with Spider-Man, W.I.T.C.H, Gargoyles and Young Justice.

Greg responds...

You're welcome.

I don't see how the two things are connected. I'd always love to do more Gargoyles though - in any medium.

Hey Greg, I have a question regarding Young Justice.

We all know that Superman and Batman are allies and such but there are some works that treat their relationship differently. In your take with Young Justice are they best friends or just respected teammates? I know they have some type of kind relationship sense they talked to each other at a restaurant.

Greg responds...

They're good friends.

When I was watching W.I.T.C.H., I always wondered one thing. Does Mr.Huggles have some sort of increased intelligence when he's in his Regent form? Normally, he's just a regular dormouse. Napoleon was already magically enhanced, so does the same apply to Huggles so he understands when to regent up?

Greg responds...

Sure.

Well. I've been trying to look at things like the designation's numbers and such. I believe to have figured out the whole designation list for the Justice League designation list but not the whole Team list so here are my questions:
1.Please confirm if this is correct
Justice League Designation's:
01. Superman
02. Batman
03. Wonder Woman
04. Flash
05. Hal Jordon
06. Aquaman
07. Martian manhunter
08. Green Arrow
09. Hawkman
10. Hawkwoman
11. Zatara
12. Captain Atom
13. Black Canary
14. John Stewart
15. Captain Marvel
16. Red Tornado
17. Doctor Fate
18. Atom
19. Plastic Man
20. Icon
21. Red Arrow
22. Black Lightning
23. Guy Gardner
24. Blue Beetle
25. Zatanna
26. Rocket

Greg responds...

Let's start with this:

Why would I confirm or deny this?

Why should I confirm or deny this?

I've already stated - more than once - that I wasn't going to reveal designations but let the revelations flow naturally from the series and comics (and the video game).

Why would I change my mind now when we still have plenty more episodes and issues (and the game) still to come?

The whole thing is a SPOILER REQUEST. NO COMMENT.

I've browsed through the archives and didn't come across a question like this but apologize if I did miss something simliar to this question that has been previously answered.

Do gargoyles ever mate just for the sake of being intimate with their mate and receiving pleasure or do they usually just mate when it comes time for reproduction?

Greg responds...

The former. (And did you check the "Gargoyle Biology" section of the ASK GREG archives? I find it hard to believe it wasn't answered there.)

When Tempest and Beast Boy were on the Team at the same time (so around the time of Legacy), did any of the characters joke about how similar their first names are and/or have a "Not you, the other Gar" type moment?

Greg responds...

It's Gar and Garth. Not Gar and Gar. I'm not saying there was never any mis-speaking, but it's not like you can't hear the difference between the two words, so the kind of joke you're suggesting wouldn't play. And certainly, during missions they'd be using Tempest and Beast Boy anyway. But if there was a way to milk some humor for it, we'd try to find it.

1.Does superboys invulnerability apply to his hair and fingernails and if so how does he trim them? I was curious because you mentioned that they gave him a haircut to disquise him as tommy terror and i was curious as to how that happened. In the Golden Age it was established that superman used his heat vision to do these tasks but seeing as how Conner doesn't have heat vision it makes me even more curious.
2.Are there any chemicals that are harmless to humans but could mess with the body functions of the four flavors of aliens? Is this to broad of a question cause I feel like both of these are a bit supeerfluous.

Greg responds...

1. They're not as invulnerable as the rest of him, but they're stronger than human hair.

1a. Heat vision isn't the be-all end-all in cutting implements.

2. I don't know. Maybe.

2a. You feel like both these questions are a bit superfluous but you posted them anyway? Why?

Hey there Greg W hope your fall is going well. I have to say I have continually been impressed with how you handle the comic book universe(s). As I am sure you are Marvel has new shows in the works. All of which have the potential to be good. I am sure many fans are looking forward to them including myself. Which leads me to my question. Would you if you had the chance to work on something like Live Action "Cloak and Dagger" would you or would your current work with DC and Young Justice prevent you from doing so?

Greg responds...

As I've stated OVER AND OVER again, I'm not too interested in hypotheticals. And here's a good example why. Your question contains too many variables for me to answer it. Here's just a FEW of them:

1. Are we specifically talking about "Cloak and Dagger"?

2. What are the schedules of the respective projects?

3. What would my role be on the live action show?

4. How much money is involved?

If what you're asking me is whether (in general) I'd like to work for Marvel and/or in live-action, the answer is yes to all of the above. But I can't answer your question in a vacuum. And PLEASE don't try to create a more detailed hypothetical scenario to generate an answer. For every variable you nail down, I could come up with twenty more.

You hinted before that Klarion has memory problams by saying that he know something (I'm don't remember what it was) but if he remembers or not is a different question.
1. Does he have memory problams?
2. If he does than is that because he is a lord of chaos?
3. Does his memory works in a different way than ours (like Starfire's in the new 52)? If so how is it different and how does it work?
4. If he doesn't have memory problams (and by this I mean that his memory works in a different way than us, humans) what did you mean by your comment?

Greg responds...

1. ASKED AND ANSWERED.

2. ASKED AND ANSWERED.

As more and more teenage superheroes join The Team in Young Justice, would it be safe to say that the members of The Team treat each other more as if they were family to one another instead of just treating each other like mere fellow teammates?

Greg responds...

I'm not sure what the "more and more" part has to do with that equation. "Family" is a metaphor in this situation anyway. So the answer is both.

You recently stated that only robin aqualad kid flash red arrow and rocket were the only public figures on the original team,so my question is,do batman and the justice league necessarily want to keep the others a secret?or is it just that the young heroes don't really advertise their existence?

Greg responds...

Both.

I got into an argument with my boyfriend the other day that I'd like your opinion on: is the Joker really crazy? I say no, because he always says he's crazy and acknowledges that what he is doing is crazy. So if he knows that he is insane then he can't be, because people who are truly insane don't know they're insane; they think they're sane and everybody else is nuts. Like Two-Face, I think he's seriously off his rocker because he honestly believes he's administering justice by flipping a coin. The Young Justice version was a little different since he tried to kill all of them because their mission failed...but what's your personal take on the character?

Greg responds...

I think he's insane, and I think you're statement that as long as someone admits he or she is crazy, then he or she can't be, is, frankly, a bit silly if you take it to its absolute extreme. So... I guess I agree with your boyfriend.

But I will say, the two of you argue about fun stuff.

Mr. Greg Weisman,

Today's posting is in regards to Batman's and Alfred's past prior to the events of Young Justice. Here are my questions below:

#1 - Obviously we know that Bruce Wayne uses the bat as an inspiration in his war against crime, but the way he discovers this inspiration is done differently in various media. In one example, the Christopher Nolan films, Bruce gained his inspiration from the time he fell in the well as a child and ended up in a cave filled with bats. In another example, the graphic novel "Batman: Earth One," Bruce discovers this inspiration when he sees a statue of a Japanese samurai wearing a bat-like mask. In comparison with other media, how did Bruce Wayne discover his inspiration (the bat) to become Batman on Earth-16?

#2 - I'm under the impression that shortly after Bruce Wayne started his career as Batman, he was probably initially regarded as vigilante, an urban myth, and other things by the people of Gotham City before he was accepted as a hero. Can you please confirm whether this is true or not on Earth-16? If it turns out to be true, then how many years did it take before he was acknowledged for his good deeds by the people of Gotham City?

#3 - Batman has a large rouges gallery on his list; and that's true in ANY parallel DC universe. On Earth-16, which particular villains from Batman's rouges gallery has always given him a considerable amount of trouble (in terms of challenging him to the peak of both his physical and mental limits at the same time) and why? I'm asking this particular question because if you think about, every villain in Batman's rouges gallery challenges his limits very differently (sometimes it's his physical limits being tested, other times it's his mental limits, and sometimes it's BOTH of them).

#4 - Before his parents were murdered, what did the young Bruce Wayne wanted to be when he became an adult? In other words, what kind of career did Bruce wanted to pursue before his life was tragically changed forever as a result of Joe Chill's actions?

#5 - Before being employed by the Wayne family and working for them as a butler, did Alfred had a previous job occupation? If so, can you please tell us what it was and what exactly did he do in his previous job?

Thanks for taking the time to read my questions,
CGYJ

3. That's way too subjective a question for me to answer.

4. He was eight-years-old. He might have wanted to be a pirate for all I know.

5. SPOILER REQUEST. NO COMMENT.

I hope this isn't taken as an insult...but I really appreciate how the women are designed in Young Justice so that they're not all "flawless" looking. The reason I can't get more of my girl friends into comic stuff is because they feel like they objectify women by making it all about their appearances and not about their strength as heroes. However, in Young Justice, the characters are still beautiful but in their own individual ways and not the cookie cutter fan boy fantasy way. Was that a conscious effort?

Greg responds...

To the extent we've been successful at this, I'm going to say yes. But not just with the female characters. With the male characters too. And to be fair to most comics, I think the cookie cutter works both ways there too. Women aren't the ONLY characters being idealized.

Hi! This really isn't a question but more of a praise session. Thank you so much Mr. Weisman for your work with Young Justice. The show, like Gargoyles, has kept me at the edge of my seat every week and leaves me begging for more. Keep up the good work and best wishes.

See, you just fed my ego and assuaged my insecurities. Thanks.

Mr. Greg Weisman,

I understand that since Young Justice became a part of the DC Nation Block, you decided not to use a 20 second intro during Season Two, as it was normally done for the majority of the Season One episodes. If you had been able to use a 20 second intro for Young Justice: Invasion, how exactly would the sequence have gone in comparison to the 20 second intro that was used in Season One? In other words, what would the differences have been between the two openings?

Thanks,
CGYJ

I have some questions regarding the "Artemis" death timeline. It seems to have progress rather quickly.

She "dies" late in the night on the 19th of March, early in the morning of the 20th it's revealed that she's alive, and on the 21st Wally takes her mother to her "grave".

It just all seams really fast. I mean REALLY fast.

Now given that Artemis was taken under the wings of Oliver/Green Arrow and Bruce/Batman I can see a monument/grave marker being put up in her honor that quickly; but what dose Artemis' mother think happened to her?

I mean she's not dead so what proof was her mother given that she died other than the team and the league's word?

Was she shown a body that was a stand in for Artemis?

Or did she just take the word of the team and the league that her daughter was gone and didn't ask to see her?

It just seams odd that she wouldn't ask to see her daughter's body; though given how she "died" (in the line of duty) I don't see them going through a M.E. even if she really had been killed.

How are hero's that die in the line of duty taken care of anyway? Getting a death certificate issued without revealing that they were heroes?

Greg responds...

I'll admit it all happened fast. But what makes you think Paula didn't see a body?

As for death certificates, I haven't actually given it much thought. But that doesn't seem too difficult a problem to surmount.

I've noticed in La'gaan's design, he has lots of markings all over his body. The ones on his arms and the two on his head are fins of a sort I'm guessing, right? But the ones on his shoulders , chest and legs, are those markings or tattoos? Also, is the middle one on his head hair?

Greg responds...

His tattoos are all invisible except when he's using his powers. So I assume you're talking about his natural markings. He has no hair, though he has fins that look hair-like, I guess.
