In Satisfaction Oliver had his own bunker with a Zeta-tube. Does the Batcave have it's own Zeta-tube as well?

Greg responds...

Yep.

Do you feel like each episode more or less features one character more than the others?

Greg responds...

No. Some do this. But most have a mix.

In "Before the Dawn" how is Tim Drake able to see through his sunglasses when it's night-time?

Greg responds...

Probably the same way I can see through my ski goggles in low light.

Very, very sorry for CN's abrupt stunt. Hopefully, they either had a good reason for doing this or they'll have the heart to give us back Young Justice before 2012 ends. Anyway, thanks to iTunes, I watched "Before the Dawn" and there were so many absolutely fantastic things in this episode. But there was one thing in particular that touched me and that's Bart's attitude towards Blue Beetle.

I mean, wow. Yes, it's pretty clear that in the future, Jaime is actually just another one of the Reach's victims. He would never do something so plain awful. But it would be very, very difficult for most people to be able to get past that. That little flashback to Bart's future suggested that he's always been enslaved, mistreated and threatened by Blue Beetle. And in cases like these, some heroes would try to pull the whole "the need of the many exceeds the need of one" shctick, but not Bart. He wants to help save Jaime AND the world.

He could have very easily awaited for the scientist to extract the Scarab and kill Jaime then done something about it. It seemed to me like letting him get killed now might help prevent everything that went wrong (or at least, what went wrong because of Blue Beetle), but he rushed in fully determined to save Jaime, actually upset that someone was trying to hurt Jaime. Actually concerned for Jaime.

Bart has gone past understanding that isn't Jaime's fault, but he's easily and very readily forgiven him and grew to care for him right away. And even though he's keeping some extremely heavy secrets from the Team, he's still trying to fix things the honest, heroic way- by fighting for the innocent.

And just, wow. Bart's been in what? Four episodes? And I already love him like it's nobody's business. There are many other characters in this show I adore (there's a special place in my heart reserved exclusively and permanently for the original six, for instance), but this is the quickest I've grown to love one of them. Hell, this is the quickest I've ever grown to love a character, with the arguable exception of Heath Ledger's The Joker, but that was more love in the sense that he was a stellar character. I love the Bart you guys have given us for being a stellar character AND a stellar human being overall.

Really, wonderful job! Hope to see more of this sort of dynamic between Impulse and Blue Beetle, as well as more of my other favorite relationships and characters. Keep up the epic work and here's to many more future seasons!

Greg responds...

Thanks.

In Satisfaction, what was Captain Cold's bank robbery had to do with that episode?

Life goes on.

Greg,

By the time you answer this question, it may be a moot point, but I figured I would ask:

You've made your opinion clear on people watching "leaked" or subtitled episodes of YJ. How do you feel about people watching "Before the Dawn" on iTunes before it was broadcast?

Greg responds...

Mixed.

Praise for "Before the Dawn"

Wow! What an awesome ep! This show just gets better and better! You just have to get a third season!

I was SO relieved and excited when I heard on the net that the ep was on iTunes. I downloaded it right away! And it was AMAZING to say the least.

Nice to see when a girl's deductions are right on the money! Well 85% right.

Don't know if the rest of the season will be released on iTunes in the coming weeks, but if we all do have to wait until January for the rest I think I can handle it now. ^_^. With all the hype that you and your amazing team had heaped up for this ep I was just desperate to see it and so was everyone else.

But in any case when it dose come back to air in January I will DVR it (don't know if that counts as a rating) and watch it on the CN West to help out with the ratings to keep them up just in case DRV recordings with an off TV don't count. Everyone should. It would be sad if CN says that Young Justice won't be renewed for a third season after it comes back due to low ratings because everyone downloaded it from iTunes and then didn't watch it air on DC Nation because they're mad at CN and have already seen it.

Hopefully the money that iTunes brings in from this will catch CN's attention and they'll see what a MaJOR mistake it was to pull DC Nation from the schedule until next year. They'll see just how many people wanted to see it; since no one was able to see it on TV the number of downloads should give a good picture of the number of fans out there (those with Internet access and the funds to pay; {which if they don't CN still has created an unfair situation} but at 2 dollars even I was able to buy it and I'm always broke! ^_~.)

Maybe this will give hope for a third season too? By us buying it off iTunes without seeing it on TV first should show just how much we want it to stick around.

Umm... Now a question:

(1) What dose "on mode" mean?

Is that like hijacked? And dose it have any relation to when someone from Bart's time says that they're feeling the mode?

Once again to you and your team:

Good work!

Now after that's been said back to watching it all over again!

Greg responds...

Depends who's talking. To the Reach, it means that everything is functioning properly, but to the humans of Bart's era, if things were functioning well for the Reach, that was bad news for the humans. And so to them it was always better to crash the mode rather than feel it.

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.

Greg responds...

She was a squad leader with Robin and Bumblebee.

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.

Not going to confirm or deny any of your assumptions.

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?

Greg responds...

1. I can't picture it, but I think it must be just you.

2. Again, I just don't recall. But I'm fairly certain that we weren't trying to make a conscious visual connection to Xanatos' armor.

3. I'm guessing decoration.
