Having watched Young Justice for all of its currently aired episodes, I can't help but feel that the quality seems to be going down every season. Season 3 is so unfocused and I had the same problem with season 2 as compared to season 1. You seem to be juggling too many characters and as a result not doing justice to any. Why haven't you kept the focus on a set of characters instead of trying to include every DC character for a couple of seconds apiece? I feel very let down by the treatment of characters like Zatanna and especially Wally. You pitched Wally as a main character and then gave him no story arc and killed him off. I really was very angry at that. Why didn't you give Wally a more meaningful storyline before killing him off and why has the focus been so scattered in season 3?
Greg responds...
I'm sorry you don't like it, but we like it. We have, of course, focused the action on about six to eight characters every season, while touching on a bunch of others here or there. That hasn't really changed. We just may not be focusing on the characters YOU would like us to focus on, so your mileage may vary. We feel we did give Wally an arc in Season Two. Sorry you didn't care for it, but, again, we were pleased with it.

How old is Katana in YJ: Outsiders?
Greg responds...
Asked and answered.
Charles writes...
Hopefully you are feeling generous when you get this, are there any events during the time skips between Season One and Two and Season Two through Season Three that you could give away like a preview or a tagline? I remember something similar to this. "This day in Gargoyles History", and I don't expect anything as detailed as that, but it would help with the timeline on the Young Justice wiki and add some context to what the Team did during that time to become who they are today.
Greg responds...
I absolutely could. I absolutely won't.
Nearly everything in "This day in Gargoyles History" was previously established.
Kevin writes...
1. At the end of the Rock of Age Peredur mentioned he was going to call a meeting of the upper echelons. Up to what levels/ranks was he make up the upper echelons? Are there other echelons as well?
2. Do ranks in the IIlluminati mean anything or is it at a certain level that it's semantics in terms of their role? I only ask because Blanchefleur was a three and it seemed like she should be a two since she is the wife of Peredur.
3. Thanks for creating Gargoyles and developing Young Justice they really are unique works of art and they bring great joy to me and my friends, I hope Young Justice gets picked up for more seasons and Gargoyles comes back as well!
Greg responds...
1. No spoilers.
1a. You mean are there lower echelons? Cuz, yeah.
2. They mean everything.
3. Me too!

Do Conner and M'gann treat Jonathan (Lois and Clark's son) as their nephew?
Greg responds...
Conner does, certainly. M'gann treats him as her boyfriend's nephew.
Saarai-kaar writes...
Hello there,
I know you likely get flooded with questions/pleas for a continuation for many of your works, and with the return of Young Justice, that seems to have stricken wishful thinking to many, myself included. The DC Animated Universe (DCAU) had similar scenarios in which storylines were continued via comics in otherwise discontinued mediums, but I digress.
Onto the question: do you believe there's even the faintest possibility that any of your works could be continued via comics, novels, or anything at all?
Greg responds...
I do believe that's possible. I've been constantly trying to make it possible for decades now.

4. Orphan is 15.
5. Kalibak is biologically 24.
YJ Fan writes...
I watched YJ episode 9 of season 3 and towards the end of the episode the light refers to nightwing by his real name. I understand that many of the other heroes don't take the same precaution to hiding their identity but the batkids are so secretive and Batman treasures his identity so they take extra precaution when maintaining it. Does this mean they also know Batman's identity? If they know the identities of nightwing and some of the other heroes why don't they expose them to the media and other people??? BTW I am so glad its back.
Greg responds...
The Light pretty much knows everyone's secret identity (though there are many exceptions). But Ra's knew Batman's identity.
What advantage is it to the Light to expose these heroes' identities to the media?
Knowledge is power. Shared knowledge reduces their power.
K writes...
Vandal Savage was Marduk?! I think most of us in the audience assumed that Tula's presence as a Non-Player Character (NPC) in YJ: Legacy meant that her death would be part of the story line, but the fact! That her conclusion! That she had to sacrifice her life because MARDUK! THE IMMORTAL! VANDAL MARDUK IMMORTAL DEMIGOD SAVAGE! "sacrificed" his so-called "life!" is just... exquisitely painful. I hate it, but only because I love it. Way to reward the obsessives who must have every single piece of the story. Mostly I feel bad for Garth and Kaldur and the rest of the Aquapeople.
(Speaking of, thank you for Home Fires confirming that Mera and Orin's son is still alive. I have wondered about that on and on off ever since Downtime aired.)
As for questions:
1. How old was Olympia Savage when she was killed?
2. Did Olympia inherit the metagene?
3. Will we ever know who, exactly, read the part with the bear? (I'm kidding. I think.)
Greg responds...
1. She would have been 83 by the end of Team Year Eight. So she was either 82 or 83 when she died.
2. No spoilers.
3. ;)

While Halo's powers allow her to recover from fatal injuries more than a few viewers find it disturbing that she is specifically and repeatedly subject to getting injured or killed in gruesome ways in spite of her powers, especially as a young Muslim teenage girl (Violence against PoC be it on the news or in fiction tends to be taken less seriously than violence against white people). Had the writing team considered the implications of this when writing the action scenes Halo is involved in?
Greg responds...
Clearly, we did not.
We thought of her like Wolverine, healing from impossible things. But we also wanted to show her journey of strength from victim to hero.
Best laid plans, and all.

If Vandal Savage was the father of Nabu, then why has Nabu not mentioned this relationship to anyone? Also, has Nabu ever encountered Vandal Savage again at any point between his death and the present day?
Greg responds...
1. How do you know he hasn't?
2. Inevitably, yes.
Anonymous writes...
In known history, Genghis Khan began the seeds if his empire due to his family connections via his father's clan. Given Vandal Savage of course didnt have a mongol chief as his dad, how did he start the start of his empire?
Greg responds...
He might have had a mongol chief as his adoptive father/blood-brother.

Seeing Lady Shiva on "Young Justice: Outsiders," is her real name spelled out as Sandra Woosan OR Sandra Wu-San?
Greg responds...
Sandra Wu-San.
Anonymous writes...
So Deathstroke, Ultra-Humanite, and Lady Shiva are officially members of the Light, but what are there designation numbers?
Greg responds...
Lady Shiva is their enforcer, taking Sportsmaster and Deathstroke's place. She's not a member of the Light.
The Light doesn't use designations the way the League and the Team do.

Since two years have passed between Seasons Two and Three of Young Justice, what happened to Wally's parents?
Greg responds...
No spoilers.
Anonymous writes...
Hi.
I just watched Young Justice Outsiders episode 4 and was wondering if the scene with Superboy & Brion fixing that bike was inspired by the book Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance by Robert M. Pirsig?
Greg responds...
To a degree, yes. Maybe influenced is a better word than inspired?
B writes...
We now know that Troia is Troia's given name, per the UN, as you pointed out on your Twitter. Given that you once referred to her as "the Earth-16 Donna Troy" (in an answer where you said ""But the short answer is that the Earth-16 Donna Troy was TROIA. Never Wonder Girl""), is Donna Troy an alias she has used in civilian life (like Wonder Woman's Diana Prince during WWII), or did you just mean she is the Earth-16 equivalent of Donna Troy?
Greg responds...
I meant the latter. Doesn't preclude the former, though that would be a spoiler.
Lea1997 writes...
Can you please give a full description of Superman and Superboy's relationship with the Kent family in Young Justice.
Greg responds...
I could. But I won't. I'd rather show than tell.
Haley writes...
Hi Greg. Thanks for all the work you, Brandon, Phil, and many others put into making a third season of Young Justice. I've been very impressed and can't wait for more episodes!
Q: We see that M'Gann faced oppression as a white Martian by greens, but since they're all shapeshifters, is it possible for them to change form so that they resemble a green Martian, or would other Martians see through that?
Thank you!
Greg responds...
As we established back in Season One, since Martians are all psychic, changing shape doesn't fool them.
Pablo Torres writes...
Hey, Greig, first, big fan of the show, the comic and the game. I love this universe and it always fill me with joy when it expands. And I love that we finally got season 3.
Now my question is about Traci Thurston aka Thirteen
1) How old is she?
2) I know she’s based on Traci 13, but is she also based on Jinx from Teen Titans as well, given she has magical bad luck
3) Is she dating Blue Beetle, or will she start dating Blue in the series? (I loved their relationship in the comics, before the New 52, and I know in Rebirth she was made into an LGBT character, but I always prefer Traci with Jaime)
Greg responds...
1. At the END of TEAM YEAR NINE, Traci is 17.
2. I'm not that familiar with Jinx. So that wasn't in my head. Maybe it was in Brandon's.
3. They're dating throughout Season Three, which doesn't meant she isn't LGBTQ+.
Tyler writes...
Hey Greg!
I had a few questions regarding Bette Kane and the Kane family:
1. Is Martha Wayne's maiden name is still Kane in this universe?
2. Would Bette be from the same Kane family as Martha, or is that all just a big coincidence?
3. If #2 is a yes, does that mean that Bette has a cousin named Kate somewhere out there in Gotham?
Greg responds...
1. Yes.
2. They're related.
3. They're related.
ReyMonoArdilla writes...
Since we just saw that Traci 13's magic appears to be based on bad luck, I had a few questions about it (and tangentially about Earth-16 magic).
1. Since there are Lords of Order and Lords of Chaos on Earth-16, is magic separated into opposing forces of Chaos Magic and Order magic (like the Light and Dark sides of the Force, or positive and negative electrical charges) or is magic simply a neutral energy that can be used freely for either chaotic or orderly purposes?
2. If Earth-16 magic comes in separate Order and Chaos flavours, is Traci's bad luck magic a type of Chaos Magic?
3. If the previous answer is true, how does Doctor Fate--being a Lord of Order--feel about being allied with a user of Chaos Magic?
Greg responds...
1. I lean toward the latter.
2. See 1.
3. See 2.
DD writes...
So was that definitely Damian Wayne we saw in the Rescue Op episode of Young Justice?
Greg responds...
No spoilers. But figure there have to be hundreds of babies on Infinity Island, right? So it could be anyone. ;)
Phil writes...
Alright first off I'm a huge fan. Have been since Gargoyles (though I didn't know it at the time). Congrats on season 3 and I hope to see more of your work in the future, be it Young Justice or anything else.
As for the questions:
1. Is Statics identity public? I never see him wear a mask
2. Are Superboy's shirts lighter now due to multiple washings or was that just an aesthetic choice?
3. Did Kaldur always know he would be Aquaman someday?
4. Which episode of season 3 is your favorite?
Thanks a bunch!
Greg responds...
1. You never see Superman wear a mask either.
2. The former.
3. Wasn't a guarantee, but that was always King Orin's plan.
4. Oh. That's hard. I like all of 'em. But I guess I'd go with either "Nightmare Monkeys" or "Overwhelmed."

it probably doesn't it matter but in young justice s3 e3 garfield was in paris with queen perita my question is does perita know about the team because gar had to use a zeta beam to get to paris
Greg responds...
Not for that reason.
Anonymous writes...
After eight years, Zatara appeared to look terrible; whether it is his age catching up to him or the strain of wearing the Helmet of Nabu for such a long time appears to be unclear. As such, why has Nabu not yet found a successor to wear the helmet? How long must Zatanna go through the grief of only seeing her father briefly before quickly losing him again every year?
Greg responds...
I wouldn't say he looks terrible. He just looks like he's aged dramatically.
But to answer your question: NO SPOILERS!

Can you reveal who A08, A09, and A14 are?

Fabian Martinez writes...
Hi Greg. So I've been trying to Google this to find the answer but I can't seem to find it anywhere. I haven't read the comics so I don't know if it's in there or if you have answered it in here but why does Miss Martian have this new form in S3?
Greg responds...
It's the form she chose. I'll leave the why to your interpretation. (Personally, I think the answer is obvious, but your mileage may vary.)
Gordhan Rajani writes...
Does the public know, that Garfield used to be Beast Boy, before he went on to become an actor? I doubt there's that many Metas with green skin and shapeshifting, and I like to think, that someone must've noticed the similarities.
Greg responds...
Who ever saw him?
I mean, a few people certainly did on Team missions. But the Team's covert. Beast Boy wasn't a public hero until he stepped up to form the Outsiders.
Thomas writes...
As I assume you are avoiding real countries in show, what R.l Countries in the YJverse restrict J.L access to a prohibitive level?
Greg responds...
I guess it depends on how you define "prohibitive". But in any case, I'm not going to pull out a list of countries and go through them all to create a list for you. But some obvious ones include Russia and China, North Korea and United Rhelasia, Greater Bialya and Santa Prisca, etc.
Reed writes...
Given that the character is known for his intelligence, is there a guarantee that we will be seeing at least more consistent examples of Virgil's overall smarts and intelligence on YJ this season?
https://www.reddit.com/r/respectthreads/comments/2eu9wm/respect_static/
https://www.reddit.com/r/respectthreads/comments/7iz2lv/respect_static_static_shock/
Greg responds...
I'm not sure I'm understanding the links. I'm not familiar with reddit, or how it works.
But I think we show Virgil as intelligent. Not all-knowing, but intelligent. I'll leave it to your interpretation to decide if we got it right.
Jason R. Carter writes...
Is the Markovian language based on any real languages, like Atlantean is based on ancient Greek?
Greg responds...
It's based on Latvian.
Chris writes...
Okay, Kaldur is B27 and Steel is B36; so what are the designations for Batwoman, Hardware, Ice and Katana?
Greg responds...
My policy is not to pre-reveal designations before the show (or the comic) reveals them. I made an exception at the end of Season Two, because we didn't have a serious hope of a Season Three back then.
Chris writes...
During the UN Meta-Human Summit, Troia mentioned that Bialya was trying to pass off "wanted criminals" as their local heroes. Anyone we know; Psimon? Mammoth? Shimmer? Devastation?
Greg responds...
I'll leave that to your imagination.

In the "Young Justice" cartoon series:
1. What are the exact requirements for a member of the Justice League to be elected as its leader?
2. From 2003 to 2018, who was elected to become leader of the Justice League, when exactly did their term began and when exactly did it ended?
Greg responds...
1. A majority of votes from the membership.
2. No spoilers. You know that Batman was leader during Season One; Captain Atom, during Season Two, with Black Canary taking over in the last episode. Aquaman (i.e. Kaldur'ahm) and Wonder Woman were co-chairs during Season Three, until the last episode, when they stepped down, and Black Lighting took over.
Chris B writes...
Hey Greg, loved the first three episodes of season 3. My only question is was a different animation studio used this season? It looks a little different than some episodes in seasons 1 and 2.
Greg responds...
Our two studios for Season One and Two were MOI Animation and Lotto Animation.
We used three studios in Season Three: DR Movie, Digital eMation and Studio Mir.
Our only studio for Season Four is Studio Mir.

Black Lightning mentioned "Batman Incorporated." Now I do know what that name means and what its purpose was in the comics, but the big question is this: Is "Batman Incorporated" a real thing or not on "Young Jusitce: Outsiders"
Greg responds...
Depends what you mean by "real thing," I guess.

"Young Justice: Oustiders" Questions:
1. So the Outsiders on this show is essentially the DC equivalent of Marvel's Secret Avengers...?
2. Barbara is now Oracle; that means "The Killing Joke" happened, right? No point in denying it... Anyway, hope Barbara will be able to recover and walk again...
3. Why is the Roy Harper clone going by the name Will now...? Did you get this idea from Star Trek: The Next Generation; more specifically, William Riker and his duplicate Thomas Riker?
Greg responds...
1. I'm not familiar with Marvel's Secret Avengers.
2. Something happened.
3. Will is Roy's middle name. It's a logical choice for him to give Roy full possession of the "Roy" name. I've seen those Thomas Riker episodes of the Trek franchise, but I don't think we really borrowed it from there. Just the same logic.

Hi Greg! Today was the day, congrats!
A few questions.
How old is Troia?

Ice is 22.
Hardware is 36.
Tara Markov is 16. She was abducted at age 13.

Given that there didn't seem to be an repercussions for Black Lightning's accidental killing of a 14 year-old girl, is it fair to surmise that the league found him responsible but not blameworthy for her death?

Yes.

Greg responds...
Wally's death is the perfect gift for a huge fan? If you say so.
Glad you love the show!
In any case, by now you know that supermartian is back. At least in Season Three. No spoilers for Season Four.
