MARCUS(YOUR SHORTEST BIGGEST FAN) writes...
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

"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

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).

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.

"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.]

Is Virgil Hawkins also from Dakota in Earth-16?
An Ask Greg Helper responds...
VIRGIL: "So yeah, I called them. I left a voicemail asking them to wire money so the four of us can buy bus tickets to Dakota City. It's my hometown."
[From "Young Justice" episode 214, "Runaways." Originally aired February 2, 2013.]

how do you feel About being forced to Rewrite Icon and Rocket out of issues 21-25 of the comic?
if you can say who gave the order? and why?
if left in,how would thy have been used and what would they have done?
An Ask Greg Helper responds...
Greg Weisman says:
"I've already said all I know on this subject. We were told - without explanation - to remove Rocket and Icon from issues 21-25. No one EVER said anything to us about removing Rocket, Icon or Virgil from the television show. It never came up. I DO NOT KNOW ANYTHING ELSE."
[Response recorded on February 26, 2013.]
"After issue 20 was published and after issues 21-24 were written and while I was in the middle of writing 25, I was informed by DC that both Icon and Rocket had to be removed from all of the last five issues. I was never told why. Icon was originally one of Kylstar's 'weapons' and Rocket was originally with Zatanna, Nightwing, Sphere, Wonder Girl and Blue Beetle infiltrating the Collector's vessel."

Have you seen or read any YJ fanart, fanfiction & fancomics (from non-canon parings, Birdflash has the most fanart and that's how I've actually found this wonderful cartoon :) )? How does it make you feel when fans do fanart and other fandom things for the show?
An Ask Greg Helper responds...
Greg Weisman says:
"I'm very ambivalent toward fanfiction. On the one hand, it's very gratifying. I've created something that has taken on a life of it's own. That people like enough to invest their time into and create anew. On the other hand, I have a territorial instinct that exhibits a kind of knee-jerk negative reaction to seeing other people controlling the destiny of my characters. (That's the main reason why Goliath Chronicles was so painful for me to watch.)
For example, I know that TGS is doing their own TimeDancer spin off. That's very cool, but somebody mentioned (though I don't know if this was the final word) that they're not naming Brooklyn's son Nashville, because they think the name is silly or because they hate country music or whatever. I can't help resenting that. (I know it's not rational, but I'm trying to be honest about my emotions here.) I haven't explained the Nashville name. I don't intend to explain it yet. Obviously, I have no intention of making Brooklyn into the next Garth Brooks, but I'm not in the mood to go into my reasons yet. But when someone else decides that GREG THE GARGOYLE MASTER made a misstep regarding the name of a character, I bristle.
But going back to the first hand, I have to acknowledge that once a thing is created and sent out into the world, it no longer belongs to the creator, but to the interpretations of those who received it. If a fan believes that Gargoyles were created by fey sorcery, then to that fan they were, no matter what I might say to the contrary in a comment room. Fanfiction is the ultimate example of fans interpretating (and extrapolating upon) what they've seen."
