I have been a big fan of your work for a long time. I love Young Justice, Gargoyles and the Spectacular Spider Man and the one thing they al have in common are their incredible love stories. I was wondering what are your favourite romances from each of these amazing shows you've created? What are your top favourite love stories and why do you love them? I'd love to know your opinion?

Greg responds...

This idea of ranking ... it's just not how my mind works.

But I obviously love Goliath and Elisa. And I also love Broadway and Angela. And certainly Fox and David. And Brooklyn and Katana... And Lex and Amp... Hudson and Verity... I could go on and on...

I'm a big fan of Peter and Gwen on Spectacular. I also like nerdy guy and hot girl. And though we didn't get to spend much screen time on it, Betty and Ned. And I got a kick out of May and the Doctor.

On YJ, it's tough to top Wally and Artemis. But I love Conner and Megan. And Dick and Barbara. And Lois and Clark. And Garfield and Perdita. Harper and Violet was pretty cool too. And Bart and Ed. And so many others.

Will and Matt. Cornelia and Caleb. Rico and Dizzy. Etc. Etc. Etc.

I'm just a sucker for romance.

Hi Greg! I apologize for how long this is!

I love young justice, but I kinda wish you kept Dick as a single guy who just liked women and had a will they won’t they thing with Zatanna and just kept it to that. Because ever since you put Dick and Babs together. It has caused quite the shipping war between the two fandoms.

While I do prefer Dick/Zatanna, I personally never really had opinions
with Dick/Babs. My only problem I had about them, was really your comments about why they weren’t together until xyz and explaining their relationship. One was the notion that Dick only loves Babs and would marry her in an instant regardless. I feel that’s a really bad portrayal of love, if you’re in love with someone else you shouldn’t be dating other people! It’s really not fair and kinda undermines the development he had with Zatanna. For me, it takes me out if investing much time in how Dick reacts with other characters if it’s just gonna be thrown to the side for another relationship. It’s just not really fair to the characters involved and instead they should have been given other life interests that will actually mean something and not be used as a temporary thing or stepping stone.

The second was that Babs was waiting for Dick to mature to be with him. Babs shouldn’t imply that needs Dick to change himself to be with her. He doesn’t need to grow up for her, he needs to for up for himself and hopefully he will realize that he is who he is and the person who will marry him will have to accept that. I get it that she wants Dick to mature, but personally, I don’t think Dick is all that immature and in fact, acts very much like a normal young man haha if he isn’t ready to settle that’s fine, but implying that he needed to grow up and Babs will wait for him to marry him, it’s not a good set up.

I could be misinterpreting you, and perhaps you never intended for it actually be portrayed that way, but that’s how it came off to me personally. I really hope I didn’t come off mean or ranty, I just felt your comments on the couple maybe could have used more context.,

I kinda just miss Dick with no strings attached. Still kinda trying to figure out who he is. A little flirty with everyone because he loves women clearly. No past loves or pining for anyone. Just one man on a journey you know? Looking forward to the future and leaving the past where it belongs. Hanging out with his friends and fighting crime. I think it’d be great to see Dick move on from both Zatanna and Babs and just eventually down the line find his true love that he never thought in a million years he would meet! I just wanna see Dick grow and evolve for himself inspired by himself.

I hope you get more seasons and love your work so far!

Greg responds...

Um... thanks.

I'd prefer you interpret Dick and whomever from the show, not from my comments. I stand by what's on screen. I'll leave it at that.

I've gotta say Garfield sure misses his deceased loved ones that he's lost (Including Superboy/Conner Kent) just as much as Makoto Naegi (Danganronpa series) misses his friends who became victims in the Killing School Life that happened in Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc (video game) and it's anime adaptation (Danganronpa: The Animation).
He (Makoto) even suffers from "Survivor's Guilt" as shown in the brainwashing scene of Danganronpa 3 - Future Arc Episode 11 underscores just how much Makoto regrets being unable to save those who died in that Killing Game including his former love interest Sayaka Maizono.
But still what's happening to Garfield has never happened to Makoto not even after he escaped the Killing School Life along with 5 of his other friends.

Greg responds...

Um... cool.

Hi there!

First things first, I wanted to say how pleased and surprised I was to see Zatara's faith not only not avoided but leaned into in the episode "Teg Ydear!"

As a Christian, it's become quite rare to see Christianity portrayed even neutrally in popular media. That scene literally brought tears.

My question are these:

1) Why was the Lord's Prayer shortened to omit "For thine is the kingdom, the power, and the glory, forever"?

2) I've heard it said that a Muslim cultural expert was consulted to ensure Khalid's faith was accurately and sensitively portrayed. Was a similar expert consulted for the representations of Catholocism in this episode and the next?

I want to stress that that scene was beautiful and was and is greatly appreciated. Thank you for not shying away from it.

Greg responds...

1. Was it? I don't remember that we shortened it. But I relied on my partner Brandon for the proper usage of the prayer.

2. Brandon consulted with someone. I can't remember who that was. It's been years now.

Glad you liked it!

Do the Leaguer's children, like Jon, understand their parents are superheroes? I'm asking because if Jon, for example, sees Daddy flying, there is no way a young child is going to not talk about his dad flying. Kids have no filters.

Greg responds...

Kid's will surprise you.

Jason Todd Fanboy writes...

Hi Greg! Long time forum lurker first time question asker. I won’t ask about any thing about what you have or don’t have planned for Jason. Instead I would like to ask your opinion on dc comics canon about Jason being trained by the all-caste. Since the introduction of Jason’s training under ancient mystical warrior monks I’ve always thought it was an amazing way to make him stand out on his own from the other robins.
1)As a professional in the industry what are your thoughts on that part of his backstory?
2)Do you believe it was a good way to add more layers to his character or wasn’t and the robins should all be street level characters?
Thank you for your time and thank you for creating one of my favorite shows of all time!

Greg responds...

1. Not familiar with it. SORRY!

2. See above.

1. When Miss Martian was acting affectionate with Lagoon Boy in front of Superboy in season 2 did she did do that on purpose to make Superboy jealous?
2. How long exactly was Miss Martian abusing powers? Did she start abusing them in 2015 or longer?
3. When Conner died, did anyone like Artemis, Dick or Kaldur try and contact M'gann after learning the news or has no one spoken to her and are waiting for her return to Earth?
4. Do you regret that Zatanna's feelings over the loss of Conner got no focus during her arc? A lot of fans were hoping for some insight into their friendship since they've had very little on-screen time together.
5. Is Black Canary dealing with her own grief in regards to Conner's death? Did she ever consider him like a protege or maybe family due to their closeness in season 1?

Greg responds...

1. Not consciously.

2. Not long before Conner broke up with her.

3. They all tried.

4. I don't have regrets about it. Screen time is precious. You make the best use of it you can.

5. Yes, of course.

Mark writes...

1) In the Musicology 101 Crossover Radio Play, Sandra Stanyon's character from Hello Megan is identified as Sandra Wheeler. Can we take that as confirmation of the character's first name in YJ?
2) If Sandra Stanyon played Sandra Wheeler and Rita Farr played Rita Lee, was Mr Wheeler's first name Jonathan after Jonathan Lord?
3) Was the Kobra seen in the flashback in "Volatile" Jeffrey Burr or Jason Burr?
4) Where were Savage and the Stranger when they spoke with the Lords of Order and Chaos in "Kaerb Ym Traeh!"?

Greg responds...

1. Yes.

2. Probably. But we never actually set it.

3. Jeffrey.

4. Inside a mystic crystal, according to the script.

I noticed that you based the Ma’arphin beast on a dolphin but what animals did you base Ma’arzuu Beast and Ma’alefa’ak off of?

Greg responds...

We pretty much made them up. The former needed to be super cute and be able to puff up and float. The latter needed to be super-scary, even to the super-powerful Martians.

Secret writes...

1. Following Superboy's heroic sacrifice, are the martian species planning to honor him somehow like building a statue of him?
2. What was the aftermath of Superboy's death like on Mars in the following weeks before M'gann left the planet?
3. Since Superboy died on Mars did they hold a martian funeral for him?
5. Is Prince J'emm and the royal family planning to honour Superboy somehow?
5. Whatever happened to R'ess E'dda after Superboy's death? Was he dismissed, demoted or suspended from his duties?

Greg responds...

1. Honor him, yes. I'm not going to commit to any specifics.

2. You're basically asking me to tell another story here at Ask Greg. That's not really what this site is for. Feel free to use your imagination until Brandon and I have the opportunity to explore these things.

3. I'm not going to commit to any specifics.

5. Yes.

5. No comment.
