1. Is Dick Barbara’s first love ?
2. Is Barbara Dick’s first love or was it Zatanna ?
3. Is Dick Zatanna’s first love ?
4. How does Jim Gordon feel about Dick being his daughter’s boyfriend ?
Greg responds...
1. Yes.
2. I guess it depends on how you define "first love".
3. In essence.
4. He's good with it, I would think.

Hey there Greg I have some questions about the light this time.
We do know being a member gives you a lot of status in the villain/under world side of things, but what happened to members that get replaced?
Say OceanMaster and Blackmanta were once respected but now they killed the former, and the light is indifferent With Blackmanta being under Amanda Waller’s control.
1.-Does that mean that once members get expelled they lose all worth the light? And I don’t mean “worth†as in how they also use the heroes as tool , but how say a retired Justice or president still gates benefits and respect.
2.- Why was Rhas Al gul not “disgraced†after abandoning the light
3.- We know Rhas Al gul retired from the light, and as head of the “league of shadowsâ€. But are the shadows still loyal to him as the even if i’s unofficially?
Thank you, Greg.
Greg responds...
1. It's all situational. Certain failures land one out of favor. Manta not realizing his own son was a mole was considered a BIG failure. Ocean-Master was granted all respect but refused to stand down from the Nuclear Option. Lex Luthor on the other hand is still viewed as a worthwhile member of the Light, despite his public shaming, legal problems and need to retrench.
2. "Abandoning" is a strong word. He resigned and handed over one of his major assets (the League of Shadows) to the Light. Plus he and Vandal are old friends.
3. You'd have to poll each Shadow individually, I suppose, and hope for honesty and self-awareness if you wanted to trust their answers. And even then, it's bound to be situational.

When were Casey and Dale married?
Greg responds...
I dunno. Haven't worked out that detail.
Paul writes...
In the comics, Troia is a name that Donna Troy takes after she learns of her connection to the Titans of Myth. Since Brandon Vietti and yourself have gone with the "Troia" version of the character for Earth-16, this implies that Earth-16 Troia has an origin that involves the Titans of Myth. Troia's look in Young Justice certainly evokes the "Titans of Myth" origin for her character (with some differences in YJ, of course), and in that version of her origin, the Titans of Myth provided her with an array of mystical gifts. Does she possess these gifts in Young Justice (or did she have them during the five-year gap between seasons 1 and 2, at least)?
I'm not sure how guarded you are about Troia's origin and details surrounding it... I'll take the risk that this question might be deleted by the mods. Perhaps you can give at least a hint in answer, please, if you feel that that's appropriate.
Greg responds...
No hints, I'm afraid, beyond the hints from the series itself. And I wouldn't take it for granted what origin we have in mind. (I will say it's a mix.)

After seeing that Superboy was a fan of G Gordan Godfrey's talk show it makes me wonder what are the original members favourite TV shows? Also favourite genres too? Also aside from the talk show what else did Superboy like tv wise?
Greg responds...
I wouldn't say Superboy was a fan of G. Gordon. I think he was fascinated by how appalling it was.
I'm not going to list favorite shows for each lead. Feel free to make those lists up for yourself.

How does Zatanna fell towards dick and Barbara’s relationship ?
Greg responds...
She's cool with it.
Michael Broder writes...
Who thought of Psimon and Devastation? (as an item)
Greg responds...
It just seemed to evolve out of character. But I think I pushed for it a bit more than the rest of the crew. Maybe.

I do understand that you wanted to show that everyone doesn’t marry their first love with the example of Chalant. But why did you choose Barbara Gordon as Dick’s endgame ?
One of the reasons Chalant gets so much love is that we finally got to see Dick sincerely loving and being serious with someone else that Barbara or Kory.
Dickbabs already is endgame in nearly every single continuity they are in ( the comics + every animated Batman series or movie, and they are canon in the main continuity ) DC even black listed Dickkory to promote this couple, there is clearly enough ( too much ) Dickbabs.
I even used to ship them but by seeing them together everywhere, everytime it just disgusts me of them tbh.
It would have been perfect If you stuck to idea of allowing Grayson to be with someone else, Dickbabs is overused and doesn’t bring anything new or fresh to the show and is such a shame.
Young Justice is one of my favorite shows and you can’t imagine how enormously disappointed i was when i first watched episodes 6 of season 3, I really had hope that i would finally see Dick being endgame to another girl.
Greg responds...
I don't really understand your logic - except as the logic of a contrarian. By that argument, we shouldn't have done Clark/Lois, Barry/Iris, Oliver/Dinah, etc., etc., etc.
Extend your argument to its logical conclusion, and we shouldn't have done any known superheroes at all, because you've seen them before.
But we're adapting existing characters and existing stories and the existing versions of the DC Universe. That was the gig. And, of course, the love lives of these characters are part of what we're adapting. Obviously, we're not afraid to shake things up when it feels right and/or necessary. But changing stuff for the sake of changing stuff isn't ever what YJ was about. And I think it's bad adaptation.
We did OUR TAKE on Dick/Barbara. Just as we did our take on Dick/Zatanna. Just as we did our take on Dick/Robin/Nightwing and Barbara/Batgirl/Oracle and Zatanna/Zatanna, as individuals, even though you've seen those characters many, many times before.
And, FYI, you don't know what our endgame is or was. Because, among other things, I don't deal in endgames, as my motto is "Never the End..."

1. When Superman was in space in season 3, did he and Conner ever share video calls like Troia and Diana?
2. Why did Conner wait so long to tell Clark about his and M'gann's engagement? Couldn't he have told him via video call or something?
3. How long exactly were Wonder Woman, Superman, the Hawks etc in space in season 3?
4. In the season 2 finale, why did Batman directly asked Aqualad what happened? When they left, everyone still thought Aqualad was a traitor and yet Batman didn't hesitate to ask him about the situation. Does this mean, Batman may have been aware of the deep cover mission or had an idea about what was going on?
5. How long did it take for everyone (both the Team and Justice League) to truly trust and forgive Kaldur, Dick and the others after learning about the deep cover mission. Example how long did it take for Aquaman to forgive his former protege and begin to trust him again?
Greg responds...
1. Yes. But not often.
2. Things got busy for both parties.
3. All of it, as I recall.
4. Yes.
5. It's a process. There are residual issues even today, probably. But, for example, you saw La'gaan forgive him in real time. And clearly by Season Three, Orin had forgiven Kaldur enough to make him the new Aquaman.
Suzie writes...
1. How did Conner manage to keep his plans to propose to M'gann a secret from her considering she is psychic?
2. Did Conner tell anyone about his plans to propose to M'gann or did he simply keep it a secret from everyone?
3. By the time Conner went on the Markovia mission with Dick, Artemis and Jeff, did they know about his and M'gann's engagement at that time?
4. When and how did Conner and M'gann tell everyone they were engaged? Did they gather everyone at the Watchtower to inform them of the news, social media or any other kind of way?
5. After the proposal what did Conner and M'gann do for the rest of their day/time together before he left for his mission to Markovia?
Greg responds...
1. She doesn't invade his mind. He knows how to keep thoughts private, i.e. off the surface level of their psychic communication.
2. Um. Hm. You know, I haven't thought about that. Clark clearly didn't know. Maybe Lois? Or Martha and Jonathan?
3. Well, it wasn't a secret. But I'm guessing not.
4. I don't know. But I tend to think they just waited to see if folks noticed the ring.
5. I'll draw the curtain (or the blinds) on that question and let you imagine your own possible scenarios.
