It’s a real shame that you decided to end up Chalant. Even if I believe that’s the worse decision you’ve made regarding this show I can’t blame you for that, it’s still your show and do you do whatever you want after all. But did you really needed to do it like that ? Like breaking their relationship out of nowhere, without any explanation when everything seemed to be perfect in their relationship ? Whenever people ask you why they broke up, your only answer is « no spoilers » and you keep saying that since 2011 but here we are in 2022 like literally 11 YEARS LATER and still not an official answer, all we have are fan theories. Why don’t you just say it ? At this point I’m not even asking you to bring them back just to respond to a simple answer so I can get over this ship PLEASE.
Greg responds...
I mean, the simplest answer is that not every high school relationship lasts into adulthood. Frankly, the fact that we had two couples that did, is already a bit of a stretch. I know it happens - I have an in-law who's married to her high school sweetheart. But most of my friends and relatives are not still coupled with the folks they were happily seeing in their early teens.
If you're looking for some BIG REVELATION as to why they broke up, I don't know that I have one that would satisfy you in a forum like this. It's a story to be told someday. Or a set of stories, really, involving both what brought them together and the many factors (small and large) that ultimately broke them up. I have a notion as to why Dick is a serial monogamist, and why it took someone like Barbara to finally nail him down. And I have notions as to what's going on in Z's love life, as well.
It should be obvious that Dick and Z are still friends, still on good terms, even still attracted to each other. But they've moved on. It's okay if you still mourn that ship, however. I certainly see its appeal. And, in any case, everyone's mileage varies. But we try to let our characters tell us where they're going. And this is what they told us.

1 Why did G. Gordon insult gretchen and her devices on his show if they are both on the same side
2 Have ultra humanite and granny goodness always disliked each other
Greg responds...
1. They're competitive - but he also wanted her to seem sympathetic to the audience.
2. I don't think they've known each other all that long. But I think it was becoming increasingly clear that Granny wasn't fully servicing the Light's agenda nor was she big on obeying the Light's bylaws of cooperation. For her part, I think Granny has some barely hidden contempt for all mortals.

Does Arsenal still act too recklessy when dealing with lex luthor. Or has he managed to keep his anger under control.
Greg responds...
As of when?

Mr. Weisman,
In regards to the Earth-16 version of Thirteen's parents, are their names Terrence "Terry" Thurston and Meihui Lan-Thurston; with the latter's maiden name being Lan?
Greg responds...
You're right about her dad. I'd have to research her mom's name before I could confirm.

Was cyborgs Outsider designation D08 before he joined the League? And did the D06 designation get skipped in memory of Brion’s time on the Outsiders?
Greg responds...
Brion's Outsiders designation wasn't skipped in memory of him. It was his before he left the Outsiders. And (with the exception of the hijacked designations briefly assigned to Vandal, Klarion and Teekl), designations are not reused.
And yes, Cyborg had an Outsiders designation before he joined the League, at which point he received a League designation.
As for specific numbers, the policy has generally been not to reveal them outside canon material.

Are Cissie and Roy friends? Do they get along?
Greg responds...
Yes and yes.

Vandal's design (at least his face) is way more different on season 3. I was surprised to see that he got a new design on season 4, way more similar to how he looked on seasons 1-2. Why did you guys decide to change it back (if we can put it in that way)?
(also, I know you don't like Deathstroke's ponytail from season 2, but everything else on that design is outstanding, can't say I haven't gotten a bit upset because his design wasn't also "changed back" xD)
Greg responds...
It's been a while now, but I think we felt that some of the designs in S3 of YJ may have moved toward the DC Animated movie style, which Phil Bourassa also designed, and we wanted - in S4 - to pull back to some of what we liked better in characters like Vandal and Batman from the first two seasons. But I truly hated that ponytail, so changing Deathstroke back - even changing him back but losing the ponytail - wasn't a priority when we had so many characters to design anew.

When the light picked granny goodness to join them was there concern among that she might sabotage some of their operations for darkseid?
Greg responds...
I think initially it was seen as a cooperative gesture. (Not that Vandal wasn't keeping an eye on her.) But eventually it became clear that their mutual interests could and would diverge.

Hey Greg, been a fan of your work a long time! Just one thing I'm curious about-
Halo didn't explore being a Muslim until s4, and explicitly said they weren't Muslim in s3. So why is Halo considered Muslim rep in s3? I just don't get what all the arguing is about if Halo wasn't Muslim at all!
Greg responds...
I'm not sure why you're asking me, honestly. I can't take responsibility for the entire internet.
I assume the hijab they continued to wear had something to do with it, but Halo was a new entity and their residual Gabrielleness made them feel more comfortable wearing it than not. And as Madia told them in S4, it's fine for Violet to continue wearing it while they are in the process of making up their mind.

Before the breakup did Queen Perdita ever saw a picture of Garfield Logan before his hair and skin turned green?
Greg responds...
I'm sure she did at some point.
