Why did Miss M not change back to her white form when she puts on the collar?
An Ask Greg Helper responds...
Greg Weisman says:
"Her form is not unstable when she shape-shifts. So when he [Parasite] absorbed her powers, she was weakened and more-or-less stuck. As you may have noticed, she NEVER reverts because she falls asleep or loses consciousness, etc."

Anonymous Writes:
"Why is it that Barry runs at the speed of light and Wally runs at the speed of sound? Was the experiment Wally created done wrong or something like that?"
Greg Weisman says:
"Basically, yes. It blew up the West garage, and Wally was nearly killed in the process. It did not work as well as Barry's."

When is Barbara Gordon/Batgirl's birthday?
An Ask Greg Helper responds...
Greg Weisman says:
"Some of the birthdays of the Team are SPOILER REQUESTS. Others I just haven't needed to figure out yet."
[Response recorded on February 23, 2012.]
"I generally don't give characters birthdates unless it matters in a specific story."

Do you think that cartoon network would allow you to show a blatantly gay couple in Young Justice? Probably not have them full-on make out like Super Boy and Miss Martian did, but like, show them on dates and flirting and direct statements that they are in a relationship and such.
An Ask Greg Helper responds...
Greg Weisman says:
"We show LGBT characters on the show all the time. We just can't acknowledge it. There's a difference. And I never said the LGBT characters on the show were closeted. I never said anything one way or the other about whether or not they were closeted - or at least, I don't remember saying anything about it. A character like Marie Logan can be out as far as she's concerned, without mentioning it out loud on the series.
And, there. I think I've just answered your question. (See also: Lexington.)"
[Response recorded on March 5, 2013.]
"Okay, I'm pretty sure I NEVER said we were going to acknowledge an lgbt relationship on the show. I'm quite certain that we would not be allowed to on television. NOT ALLOWED. I don't know where you got any other idea. I've been pretty consistent about how I FEEL about this. I think it's cowardly. But I've also admitted that I'm complicit in that cowardice, as I know that if I insisted on bravery - and remained adamant - I would at best be overruled and at worst FIRED. And I need my job. I'm not proud of this, and I'm not happy about it. But that's the current situation. I imagine it does hurt, and I wish I could ameliorate that pain. But at this point in time, I cannot. I'm sorry.
Instead, what I've tried to do is write the characters consistently in the hope that someday things change and that some subtleties put in place now will help in their own small way to inch us forward. I also hope to have more freedom in the YJ companion comic, as comics have a history of being more progressive in this area. But we'll have to see. I'm afraid that for now, that's the best I can do."

"Things have progressed... some. But almost not at all in anything perceived as children's programming."

Hello Greg i'm such big fan of young justice, I tune into almost every episode, I collect the comics, and I own the entire season 1. I hear season 2 just came out and Im wondering will it include the cut season 2 theme song and whether it will be different from season 1? Hope that's not a stephanie brown request.

Mr. Greg Weisman,
In a prior posting I had mentioned stuff about the New Gods in the New 52; I'm hoping you were able to read that one first.
In this link below,…
http://www.dccomics.com/blog/2013/01/23/andrew-kreisberg-talks-justice-league-of-americas-vibe-1
…there was a piece of information that explains how Darkseid's invasion in the mainstream DC universe potentially affects the entire post-Flahspoint DC multiverse in general. I know that it may appear that it is not much information to go on, but I though that I should share this with you. It may potentially have some effect on Earth-16 (based on what is implied) or it may not… Regardless, I hope this information proves helpful in some way to whatever happens in the world of Young Justice.
Thanks again,
CGYJ

Greg Weisman says:
"You know, I appreciate the thought, but I DON'T need to know any of this. Earth-16 is NOT in continuity with the New 52. That's NOT a value judgement. It's just a hard fact of when we began and completed production."

You consider blue beetle as the protagonist of the second season? Obiviamente because he has more appearances in the history and importance than the rest of his teammate
An Ask Greg Helper responds...
Greg Weisman says:
"I suppose an easier task is listing who I perceive to be the leads this season. So, I'd say the only true leads for the entire season are probably Aqualad, Artemis, Miss Martian, Nightwing and Blue Beetle.
All others, I guess, are supporting players when perceiving the season as a whole, though in individual episodes one or more might have a significant role to play - and even be the lead of that episode. For example, Robin in 'Happy New Year', Wonder Girl in 'Beneath' or Arsenal in 'Satisfaction', etc. Others are always only supporting players.
If that helps any. (None of this is an exact science.)
But as I've said before, the characters used (and the amount of screen time they received) this season were based entirely on STORY. In contrast to Season One, YJ:I was, by design, a STORY-DRIVEN season."

Hi Greg,
Big fan of your show(s)! Young Justice is absolutely BRILLIANT! I'm a fan from South Asia, where episodes are delivered very delayed, so some of my YJ may be outdated. Anyhow, two questions:
1. What's with all the random hiatuses? I understand they may be necessary, but it truly irks some fans (like myself).
2. Was there always supposed to be a jump from 2010 to 2016? Or was it brought up out of the blue? If the latter: what caused it? And what would've happened if there WASN'T a time jump? Would the current events be the same?
Big fan! Cannot wait for more episodes (and less hiatuses).

[Response recorded on February 23, 2012.]
Greg Weisman says:
"While developing Season One, we had a solid idea of what we had in mind for Season Two - including the time skip. And we had/have solid ideas for Season Three, including another time skip."
[Response recorded on July 17, 2012.]
"We planned on this time jump from day one. Because we knew, again, that if our show's about growing up, then you can't show a character grow up in 6 months' time. So the idea is that our first season told 6 months from July 4th to January 1st. Our second season tells another 6 months from January 1st to July 4th, but there's a 5-year gap in-between that we planned."

Hi Greg. It has been a while since we have heard any updates about Gargoyles season 2, volume 2 on dvd. I was wondering if you have heard anything? Is it possible, at the very least, for Disney to do a digital download edition...that wouldn't cost the studio too much...or even putting season one and all of season 2 in one complete set? It just doen't seem fair for them to release half of the series, especially since part two had some really amazing episodes...thanks for your time.

Greg Weisman says:
"No new news that I know of. And, no, I seem to have no sway, I'm afraid."
[Response recorded January 19, 2012.]
"It's not a bad idea, but the POINT I'm constantly trying to make is that I have no more insight into Disney's mindset than you guys do. I can keep you updated, but I have no idea whether or not they'd be interested in an iTunes set-up. Personally, I'd way prefer a DVD release."

Hi Greg, thank you for the wonderful show.
I have a question regarding the episode "Misplaced." As it was such a dire situation, why didn't Batman and Zatara simply contact Superman, Captain Atom, Wonder Woman, or any of the other heavy hitters for back up?
An Ask Greg Helper responds...
BATMAN: "I informed the Watchtower you located the focal point at Roanoke. But the rest of the League is deployed to avert the chaos. Tornado, you, and I are on our own."
[From "Young Justice" episode 119, "Misplaced." Originally aired March 3, 2012.]
